  • J: She's really cool, though. She's--she's cooler than...yeah.

  • C: So we probably won't film too much.

  • C: Just a few snaps.

  • J: I don't know, I might. There might be famous people.

  • C: Yeah, but...that's why you can't film them.

  • J: Oh.

  • J: That's a bummer.

  • J: But, yeah, she's always been like my really cool cousin that I followed around when I was little, like,

  • "You're amazing."

  • C: My hand's getting a bit tired now.

  • J: Ow.

  • J: You look gorgeous, by the way. C: See you later.
