1.1.24 English
Transcript:
I think it was really brave of you to ask them for money. Oh, I so do not want to talk about it. So, how many meals is it gonna take till we're off the hook? I think the deli spread at my funeral will be the last one. Hey. Wait, does that mean... Can't let a perfectly good plaid skirt go to waste. Aww, honey, you won't be sorry. Wow! You - you look nice. Really nice. I ... had a meeting earlier at the bank. They-they like collars. You look nice, too. I had a flagellation to go to. So, what will you have? - Coffee, in a vat. I'll have coffee also. And chili fries. That's quite a refined palate you got there.
