04:19Harmony?
04:20Ah, that was...
04:20They did it.
04:21I didn't do it, okay?
04:22I think it was you right there looking at me.
04:23You gave her that word.
04:24That was shady.
04:25How about this?
04:26I have an idea.
04:27Tomorrow, what if we do a live version of the Terrell Show together?
04:35I'm down with this.
04:37That might work, yeah.
