LIKE GOOGLE TRANSLATE MADE IT

THAT TITLE OR SOMETHING.

THEY WANTED IT TO JUST BE

UNIVERSAL.

THEY WANTED IT TO BE ABLE TO NOT

JUST GO INTO, YOU KNOW, A

SITUATION OF IT'S LIKE, YOU

KNOW, OH, SHE'S JUST THE

SECOND-FAT ELS.

IT WANTED TO BE ABLE TO RELATE

TO ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF

PEOPLE, NO MATTER WHAT GENDER

YOU ARE, NO MATTER WHERE YOU

COME FROM, EVERYBODY DEALS WITH

INSECURITIES.

>> EXCEPT IT'S AMERICAN WHICH

LIMITS IT TO AMERICANS.

>> THAT'S TRUE.

FURTHER LIMITS IT.

WELL.

I'M HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE.

IT'S THE HARDEST THING I'VE EVER

DONE.

THE HOURS AND ALL THAT KIND OF

STUFF.
