My heart is pounding.
Honey, feel.
Oh, it is.
It's beating like a little jack rabbit.

They come with tiny doughboy buns And little microwavable packets of sautéed onions.
Enjoy.
Vegan butter spread.
Get it while it's Room temperature.
Any time you're ready, rookie.
I'm keeping one of these hot for you.
I would never eat one of those.
I would rather eat this disgusting, fake butter and die! Joy, we've been dying to get ahold of you.
- You have? - Yeah.
Uh Um, you know, It's just been a crazy time for us.
We're trying to plan a trip, and we are Totally confused.
Do we take a plane? Do we take a boat? How can a regular person be expected to make that decision? I mean, we're not professionals.
Yeah.
You don't want to handle that hot potato.
Leave that to the pros.
So, Joy, can you help us out? You would really be saving us.
Um, sure.
I'd love to.
I really didn't know that you had any idea That I was a travel agent.
- Oh, please.
Yeah.
- Uh, hello? Why do you think we're friends with you? I'm sorry that we didn't get back to you.
It's it was a family thing.
Have you guys ever seen singin' in the rain? I love singin' in the rain.

Well, of course you were.
You should mark that on the calendar like I do.
They certainly paid attention to me today, didn't they? Oh, are you kidding me? They sure did.
I haven't felt that unpopular Since your dad found our special drawer.
I can't believe they both like musicals.
They don't like 'em.
They love 'em.
And they laughed at my Flintstones joke.
Oh, well, honey, that's just a great joke.
It is kind of weird, though, isn't it? What? Honey, honey, what's so weird How wonderful everything is turning out? Have you ever thought for a second That maybe life is just awesome? I mean, they hit on the very things That I told you bothered me.
You didn't tell them all that stuff That I told you the other night, did you? No.
'cause that would be insane.
Totally insane! Hello? I think I know insane.

She hates donuts.
