'This is my roommate, Rebecca'

'Rebecca. How formal. What can we call you?'
'Reba!'
'Becca!'
'Becky!'
'Becky's good!'
'Yeah! Becky!'
*excited smiles and nods all around*
'I like Rebecca...'

This scene was so hysterically moronic and unnatural it's almost impressive. And not even a 'Hi, nice to meet you' first before launching into an intended-to-be-cool-and-witty-but-ultimately-dumb-as-hell barrage of idiotic drivel. I love how we're supposed to think Rebecca is a total buzzkill, when in actual fact I was sharing her disapproval of the utter twattery on display. And the complete pointlessness of the non entity that is 'Kim' (that's her name by the way - you might just know her as that random girl who stands behind Tracy, eagerly nodding along and agreeing with everything she says, occasionally throwing in a 'yeah!' or something for good measure) was too funny.
And seriously? "REBA"? I mean wtf??

Veronica why are you pulling my dick?

Agreed. Who says, hi my name is ... and the people respond with "what can we call you!?!?!" Give me a break :lol:

And as a Rebekah myself, I am offended by Reba (as well as Becky...I'm not a farm animal to call...beckkkeeeee beck beck beckeeeeeeey).

Rebecca is such a beautiful name, I cant stand it when people shorten it to Becky, or worse Bex. lol

The TV spot version of that scene was way better. Meester delivered the "I like Rebecca" line brilliantly moody, but they completely changed her tone and facial expression in the final film.

Anyway, my name is Philmore, but everyone calls me Philip (which is a name in its own right, but I digress). People have also tried shortening my name to Phil, Pee-Pee, Pee or PM.

ABC, 123, that girl wore her jeans like me. I bet she's mad, 'cos I look fab. Hahaha, JACK MY SWAG.
