Have you ever told a fib to get a girl's attention?
Not an outright. I mean, not that I recall. I'm sure I have. since it's instances, but little have truths. Right. Right.

It is. Oh.
But really? Yeah. Like Zac Efron in, um, High School Musical? Remember, he didn't do the first one.
Just like Zac Efron. It's not even close to my voice. Okay. We the director, uh, uh, wouldn't prefer that to get out, but I don't know what I can I'm not going to lie about it. So, No, I watched it and I thought I'm happy that you thought it sounded like it even could be me, cuz to me, it doesn't, but it seems like people are falling for it.
Did you feel left out that you didn't get to sing a song?
I was really sad, actually. Yes. Uh, I mean, I cried a lot, uh, but it didn't help. So then I, uh, I punched Adam in the face.
Oh, rude.
while he was singing, but, uh, it didn't help either. So, you know, that's life. That's life. No, no, it was fine. I mean, I I got to dance. That was enough. You know.
Yeah. You are you're sassy. I had no idea how sassy you are in real life.
Yeah. He's got a real sass mouth.
He does. Well, you did a lot of dancing in this film.
I wouldn't I wouldn't classify that as a lot. I haven't even been begun to dance.
Oh, really? Should we turn the music back up?
No. No, no, no. I'm saving it.
