Analysis

The script — as said out loud
If you could change one thing about yourself, besides the obvious, what would it be? What's the obvious? If you could start a real company, what would it be? Like, an actual company. What role do you think you would be in if you were a people person? That's funny. I am a people's person. So I guess we'll never not like actually a people person. Wait, can you stop? If you had a real fashion sense, what trend would you. It's this kind of day today. If I had a real fashion sense, what trend would you try? I would try dressing more like you and being real cool. If you had a real job, what would it be? I don't know. Would a real job be construction? Oh, you're asking just the real job. So I don't have a good answer.
