Transcript

This is literally my 13th reason. I'm about to have a mental breakdown. Bet. Let's do it. He's got rizz. He's got a lot of charisma. I'm screaming. I'm overreacting to something of little consequence. Don't @ me. Don't call me out. Bussin'. This is so good. I'm gagged. I'm speechless for once. That's sus. Something's off. Let him cook. He's on to something. Do it for the plot. Just do it. Don't worry about the repercussions.
