[English]

[OVERLAPPING NOISES]

[TEAPOT WHISTLING]

[WOMAN] OKAY, GIRL.

SPILL THE TEA.

WHO WAS THAT FINE-LOOKING BOY YOU WAS WITH?

HE'S CUTE, RIGHT?

BUT I DON'T KNOW. I CAN'T READ HIM.

I HEARD HE'S A BIG ARTIST,

BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD TRY YOUR SHOT.

-MM, I HEARD THERE'S A BIG PARTY TONIGHT. -[RUMBLING]
