Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles I was going out for lunch downtown Los Angeles with a friend of mine. My friend David, he's like, "Yo, Trev, you wanna get something to eat?" I said, "What should we get?" He's like, "Mexican food, dude. Gotta get Mexican food." Like "I've never, I've never had Mexican." He's like, "What? You never had Mexican food?" I said no, I don't have because we don't have Mexicans in South Africa. They never came over. He's like, "Yo, dude, you gotta have tacos, man." You're missing out, you gotta have tacos. I was like, "OK, let's go get tacos." I don't even know what these things are. You know, we go out. It's not even a restaurant. It's just a truck parked on the side of the road, the taco truck, you know this because there's a big sign above going tacos, tacos, tacos. So I'm standing in the line waiting. There's a lot of people. It's really popular. I finally get to the front of the line. The guy comes to the window in the truck. He's like, "Hey, you want tacos?" "Well, it would be awkward if I didn't, you know." He's like, "Hey, I don't know, maybe you just want a Coke or something." I said, "No, no, I wouldn't come here for a Coke. I came for tacos." "Give me tacos." "Ok. How many tacos you want?" So I don't know what they are, "So just give me one." "One taco." "One taco coming up." He goes and he prepares it. Does his thing, comes back and he's like, "Hey, here's your taco, friend." I said "Thank you." He's like, "yeah, you want a napkin?" I was like, "What?" He's like, "You want a napkin?" And now on our side of the world, a napkin is that thing babies wear to hold their shit. So he was trying to say serviette, which is what everyone in the world says except America. Serviette. So he goes, "You want a napkin?" I said, "Why the hell would I want a napkin?" He says, "Hey man, for the mess afterwards." "For the mess? Is that instant that I'm gonna need a napkin?" He says, "Yo, you never know with tacos, man." One minute you think you got it, then it's coming out." "That's disgusting." He said, "No, it's normal. Everybody does it here, man. It's part of the experience." I said "That's the problem with your country, my friend." "Where I'm from, that is disgusting." "I do not need a napkin. I'm a grown man. I can control myself." He said, "Hey, what do you wanna do?" I said," I'll just eat it in the car on the way home, then I'm safe." He said, "Hey, then you make a mess in the car, man." "Don't do it. Don't be a hero. Just take the napkin." I said, "I'm not being a hero. I'm being a grown man. I don't need a napkin." "If it gets really bad, I'll just squeeze it really, really tight." He says, "Yeah, that's the problem." "Some people they don't know, they squeeze it too tight, then they just come spraying out even more, man." "They can spray all over you on your pants and on your shirt." I'm like, "On my shirt? How the hell does this shit get all the way up to my shirt?" "Is it bouncing on the ground and exploding up all over, what the hell?" He's like, "You're wasting my time. You want the napkin or not?" I said, "I don't want your napkins. In fact, I don't even want tacos. I just came for a Coke." He's like, "Ah."
