0:12.6 | And now, Amy Poehler talks to Lucy. |
0:19.3 | I'd like to ask you a few questions. Would you give me some quick answers? Okay, you got it. |
0:24.7 | If you had a full year, a sabbatical year to do anything you wanted to, what would you do? |
0:30.8 | You know, my brain goes to big thoughts first, right? Travel the world, go to different cities, see all the things I'm |
