Today's Pattern Story
Blue: C'mon, first hit's free.
Red: That's what you said last time.
The rest of the story writes itself, although you're welcome to write more of it in the comments. Bonus points for using: "mother's little helper," "get clean," and "riding the dragon."
Other scenarios: ticket scalping; invitation to secret society; numbers-running. What do you think is the most plausible?
Pattern courtesy VintagePatternDStash (get it? de-stash?) on Etsy. Carolyn's de-stash is your re-stash, or something like that.

RED: Angie, when did you become a member of the 50-fott-tall Woman Club?
BLUE: I just joined. See? Here's my membership card.
RED: I remember my initiation ceremony like it was yesterday. We had to smash cars flat like Coke cans using just our feet. What did you have to do?
BLUE: I had to eat a "normal" sized person in one gulp. I didn't like the taste of the clothes tho. See? There they are on the floor.
RED: Just like little dolls clothes, aren't they? A-hahahhahah.
BLUE: Ah-haha-hahhahahaa.
Sorry. I may have inadvertently touched one of Blue's botter papers.

Careful Red, I think Blue is wearing a wire. The antenna is in her gloves, hence the odd stance.

Blue: C'mon, I promise it's the winning numbers for the JACKPOT!
Red: That's what you said last time and I gave you $10,000 for it. I'm not riding that dragon again!

I vote for numbers-running.
I think it's Red who's wearing the wire. She has that savvy undercover-agent look. Blue looks almost falsely cheery and light-hearted; you know she's lying through her teeth.

Sorry, I'm boring. That is just her coat check ticket. Mom (in red) and newly married daughter (in blue) just met for lunch. See the look on Mom's face? Affectionate amusement with some indulgence thrown in.

They are both secret agents wearing wires, trying to appear nonchalant while they both eye James Bond (Sean Connery, still the sexiest man in the movies). The Red secret agent is, of course, with the communist block (hence the riding the dragon reference), while Ms. Blue is representative from an anonymous Scandinavian country.

Blue - I feel great ever since the doctor prescribed, "Mother's Little Helper!" I feel so light and carefree.
Red - I've been riding the dragon for weeks and I can't tell you how much I love my domestic chores now.

Blue: Red, I really think you should consider joining the phantom limb club.
Red: I'm not sure I can afford the dues: One hand or one foot? Sheesh.
Blue: It's not so bad. I can still use my left hand, though it's wavery sometimes.Look, I've got a grip on this note.
Red: I need both hands. One for the purse-holding, the other for the hip-grasping.

Red: Hnh! Blue... Hey, Blue, you know what I see?
Blue: What?
Red: It's like... it's like... everthing is covered in houndstooth.
Blue: Girl, you are fucked up.
Red: Shut up. I have a whole package of Oreos in my purse, and I'm not even sharing them with you.

BLUE: All the girls call her Mother Mavis, and the hours are really flexible. Call her!
RED: And what's this "Mother Mavis" gonna get me that I can't get out of Howard?
BLUE: Maybe an orgasm?
