manga reading help

Those kana or kanji script without bubbles are confusing me, especially the ones in the second panel.

What do they say? ありがとうございます!

Also how do you teach to read kana and kanji? Is so confusing to me.

There's no picture! That's why there hasn't been a reply--we can't see the characters you're asking about.

ボンバー！！

Panel 2
知久井さんガ言ってた
wa ku i sa n ga i tte ta
Wakui san said.
（言ってた is a spoken contraction of 言っていた）

Come on, Eric -- how do you pronounce a ん when it comes before a 'b' or 'p' syllable?

bombaa　⇒　 bomber

...but feel free to mock me in return, since I can't get the last panel...

ドレスで
どこ行くの!?

The second line is "where are you off to!?". But the first line says "dolls" followed by "de" ... I haven't the foggiest idea what it means.

ドレスで
どこ行くの!?

Katakana are tricky, but as a woman I am pretty sure she is saying:　Where are you going in that dress?　

She is in a dress shop, trying a dress on, and she tries to leave with it on, you see.

Well, paste my face with maple syrup and stick me on an anthill!

Thanks.

ドレス has been dress on all the other panels so I concur with Tracel on your other point.

マイケル先輩 ... She is in a dress shop, trying a dress on, and she tries to leave with it on, you see.

Arghhh!! The sarcasm! It burns! It burns!

To make it many times worse, I regularly read a blog done by the staff in a Harajuku fashion boutique, so this is very far from being the first time I've come across ドレス. I don't even know why I thought it said "dolls". Divine retribution for being a smartarse I suppose.

Andy-san, エリックsan, マイケルsan, Tracel-san,
LOL
This is an interesting thread!
And, well done, everyone! All the lines are correctly translated Congratulations

The only thing is ....the meaning of ボンバー....I don't think it has any meanings in. Typical Japanese
weird word use
I'm guessing it's used like an "onomatopoeia", describing this girl's ambition or determination with full of adrenalin...

Let's all get back to the very beginning.
The OP's question was "What do they say? ありがとうございます!"
Can anyone point out where in the world ありがとうございます is?

I think the OP meant "Thanks in advance".

Ewwww...
I hate Japanese written in romaji, but the combination of English and Japanese is a lot worse.
