Don’t worry, it’s incomprehensible if you have the script at hand. Which was the point.

Two things.
One. I’m hard of hearing, so if there’s even a little bit of background chatter, this is what all conversations sound like, even though I’m a native English speaker.
Two. Despite that, the most confusing thing was her bringing in a plate of whole pineapples with sparklers in them as if that was the winning move in the argument. And it seemed to have worked.

It's really weird when you learn a second language and listen to native speakers and at first it sounds like this and then after a while of learning it somehow becomes proper words. Blew my damn mind.
