ASU Sun Devil misses Tempe's Starbucks while locked away in her La Paz pad

WILDCAT: Judging by the binder you have here, do you go to ASU?

BARRETT: Yes.

WILDCAT: Then what are you doing down here?

BARRETT: I'm taking an organic chemistry class.

WILDCAT: Do you realize you've crossed into enemy lines? You know, we're rivals, all that stuff.

BARRETT: I know, I know.

WILDCAT: Are you all about that, like, the whole rivalry thing?

BARRETT: I don't know. I used to be but, like, I'm too old for that now.

WILDCAT: Right. What year are you?

BARRETT: Uh, this is my sixth year.

WILDCAT: Oh, don't worry. I can't stay away from this school thing either. You know, you change things around, next thing you know you want to do something else. So how do you like UA compared to ASU?

BARRETT: Um, it's different. There's good things down here and then there's things down there I like too.

WILDCAT: What's so much better up there?

BARRETT: Well, I don't live in a dorm up there.

WILDCAT: Where did they put you up?

BARRETT: I'm stuck in La Paz down here. It's absolutely horrible.

WILDCAT: Is it? I thought that was the Ritz Carlton of dorms here?

BARRETT: You're in a jail cell and you have two people in there. I have to knock at the door to get let in.

WILDCAT: Well what about the campus? You don't have a big beautiful building like this, the Union.

BARRETT: We have one like this.

WILDCAT: Well fine then. At ASU you're all, "been there done that." You guys even have a Starbucks up there, which might I add makes a hell of a lot better iced mocha then Common Grounds.

BARRETT: We just got that didn't we?
