Hi!
I have to listen to a conversation and answer questions about it but I can't understand the whole thing, especially the end! I was wondering if anyone could please write out the transcript for me so I could understand what they are saying?
I understand that the girl is wearing the clothes of her mother for an interview to look better and the mother is complaining about it. The girl answers something in the end, I think she's saying something like "I don't complain when ...?" but then I can really understand what she says about the different items of clothing. Could anyone please help me out?
I would really appreciate the help!!!
Thank you very much!

Here is the transcipt. May be it will help you to better understand the dialog:
Les vêtements
Françoise s'apprête à sortir de la maison. Sa mère l'arrête sur le seuil.
Françoise : A tout à l'heure, m'man. Faut qu'je file.
Mère: Hep, une petite minute toi. Dis donc mais c'est ma jupe ça et mon chemisier Pierre Cardin.
F: Oh m'man s'il te plait, j'les ai empruntés juste pour la matinée. Je ne peux pas me présenter en jean pour cette entrevue, voyons! Si je veux obtenir ce poste, j'ai intérêt à avoir l'air BCBG. Et...ça me va bien, non?
M: Ouai. C'est sans doute pour ça que tu as chipé mon collant neuf, hein? Ha, ce n'est pas toujours drôle d'avoir une fille qui a la même taille que moi.
F: Hey, dis, hey, m'man. N'exagère pas. Est-ce que je râle moi quand tu me chipes mon T-shirt ou mon blouson en jean.
M: Ouai, bon. Ca ira pour cette fois. Mais fais attention à mes affaires, hein!
F: Voui, m'man. Tu es un amour. A tout à l'heure. Tchao
A lot of word are not in good French but are very casual in speeches.
m'man = maman
ouai = Voui = oui
Tchao (comes from Italian I think)= Au revoir
Hep, Hey are some interjections
BCBG = Bon Chic, Bon Genre
What the girl says toward the end is Oh Mum, cool it. Do I go on at you when you nick my T-shirts or my denim top?
(That's a British, not American, rendering)
Hi there,
I think it's a kind of informal French.
The daughter is telling her mother: Hey, tell, mother: All that was just to attract or to draw her mother's attention. Then,
-don't exagerate mother. Do I complain when you steal, or take my T-shirt or my blouson( Jacket tight at the level of the waist) unbeknown to me?
NB: the word Chiper is usually used when somebody steals something of a little value.
