0:32.8	So, Molly, rumor has that you were in Argentina last week. Is that true?
0:38.7	I was. I would like to recommend that everybody on earth go visit Argentina. Have you ever been there?
0:46.1	I have not now. Yeah, I've never really been to South America. The closest I've been, I guess, is Aruba.
