Julia: (laughs hysterically)
AJ: I�ve missed that laugh.
Julia: (composes self) You have?
AJ: Yes.
Julia: Oh.
AJ: I�m surprised that Maria hasn�t called off the deal.
Julia: I haven�t seen her in awhile so�I don�t know.
AJ: So you�re getting away from her too huh?
Julia: Mainly her but I also wanted to see Jules. Besides I wouldn�t let her call it off.
AJ: Why is that?
Julia: You�ve grown on me.
AJ: Oh I have have I. Well the same could be said about you�you�ve grown on me too.
Julia: Awww�
AJ: You know you weren�t too pleasant in the beginning there�
Julia: I know I know. Nick keeps telling me that.
AJ: He has?
Julia: Yup�anytime I�m the least bit mean to him�he brings it up.

Julia: He�s fine but he thinks I�m you. I can�t take this anymore Tony.
Antonia: I know but what can we do.
Julia: It�s time we switched back.
Antonia: I think so too.
Julia: Let�s call mom and break the bad news to her.
(They dial up their mother and put her on speakerphone)
Maria: So if it isn�t my daughter who is missing in action. You have missed so much of your project young lady it isn�t even funny. Now I�ve gotten people to agree to move things around for you�but I don�t know how much longer they can wait for you.
Julia: Mom, we�re switching back.
(Silence)
Antonia: We can�t take it anymore. We�ve decided to be ourselves again.
Maria: Oh. It�s that simple huh?
Julia: Yup.
Maria: Well if you want to ruin Tony�s career then fine be my guest.
Antonia: I don�t care about my career as much as you do mom.
Maria: Oh well then. What about your little alcoholic boyfriend Julia?
Julia: What about him mother?
Maria: If you go back to being you�he won�t have anything to do with you. He�s not going out with Julia Maxwell�he�s going out with Antonia Maxwell.
Julia: Go to hell.
Maria: See you on Monday. (She hangs up)
Julia: (gets up and paces) Oh I HATE her.
Antonia: I know.
Julia: I just want my life back.
Antonia: I know Jules but she does have a point. How are you going to tell AJ that you�re me and I�m you?
Julia: (sits down) I don�t know.
