Veda

Veda Walkman, a new intern from a job placement program is sent to work for Suzanne. Suzanne, Sissy, and Natty resent the fact that Veda makes them all feel old, despite the fact she claims not to be a ""Generation X-er"" (as Natty says: ""She may not be cruising the internet, but she's going to those Nine Nails concerts--or whatever that is""). So they each take her out to dinner with the intentions of firing her, but each backs down when they realize how sweet and vulnerable she is (""She kind of reminds me of Bambi-- Bambi in combat boots with a toilet mouth""). Meanwhile Sissy steals a plant from Newt Gingrich's office and gives it to Natty as a birthday present, beginning a practical-joke-war between the pair, which culminates with a jack-ass in the office.
