Didn't you hear? Michelle and Rachel are not on speaking terms. Rachel is pissed by what Michelle said earlier. I told Rachel she is better off confronting Michelle than bottling up her anger.

My 217 paint brush and I are not on speaking terms, Cecil! Go to the art store and pick up Versamanna brush. I will not look like an amateur in front of the Royal Painters Academy of Florence!
