That's right, all right, Penny.

After 238 glorious years, they went ahead and killed it.

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. She loves James. Jake, you're safe, I think. But I know my mom's definitely not going to like it either. It better not be the shot collar because this is the favorite part. She loves this part of the show. Everything is downhill after this for my mom. Sounds right.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, it's a lot easier than looking it up on your phone.
