1. Spanning Wales to bring youCopy !req
2. a constant variety
of Welsh things...Copy !req
3. The thrill of victory.Copy !req
4. The agony of defeat.Copy !req
5. Welcome
to The Wide World of Wales.Copy !req
6. Brought to you
by Aviation Gin, obviously...Copy !req
7. TikTok, where you can
follow any numberCopy !req
8. of middle-aged
Welsh football team owners.Copy !req
9. Ifor Williams...Copy !req
10. The best damn
horse trailers you can get.Copy !req
11. And Expedia,Copy !req
12. where you can explore
the worldCopy !req
13. and also book a vacation
to Wales.Copy !req
14. You probably want to fly
into Manchester or Liverpool.Copy !req
15. Once you're there,
it's a quick a drive.Copy !req
16. Possibly 30 to 40 minutes
depending—Copy !req
17. Rob, they know
how to plan a trip.Copy !req
18. Sorry.Copy !req
19. Welcome to Wrexham.Copy !req
20. Or, more specifically, Wales.Copy !req
21. You might be
a little confused right now.Copy !req
22. Not just by Rob's decisionCopy !req
23. to look like a stand-in
in a Guy Ritchie movie,Copy !req
24. but because
the last few episodes,Copy !req
25. you've been watching
a documentaryCopy !req
26. about an underdog football team
from WalesCopy !req
27. and two Hollywood movie stars.Copy !req
28. Uh, I'm more of a TV star.Copy !req
29. Oh! Aww.Copy !req
30. Anyway...Copy !req
31. TV's, like, way cooler
than movies.Copy !req
32. You know that, right?
- Yeah, it is.Copy !req
33. I mean, where have you been
for, like, the last ten years?Copy !req
34. You've been making movies.
- Making movies.Copy !req
35. Anyway, we left off
with Ryan and I headedCopy !req
36. to Wrexham for the first time,Copy !req
37. and even though
you might have gottenCopy !req
38. a small sense
of this amazing place,Copy !req
39. we thought it only appropriateCopy !req
40. to do a little deeper dive
on Wales.Copy !req
41. You know, my daughters,
they love whales—Copy !req
42. really any of God's
little underwater creatures.Copy !req
43. The country.Copy !req
44. Wales the country.Copy !req
45. That's what we're here
talking about.Copy !req
46. Um...Copy !req
47. We suspect a lot of people
out there don't really knowCopy !req
48. what Wales exactly is.Copy !req
49. My partner certainly doesn't.Copy !req
50. And I didn't before last year,Copy !req
51. and we bought
a football team there.Copy !req
52. Holy.Copy !req
53. So tonight we're going
to immerse ourselves in Wales—Copy !req
54. the country—Copy !req
55. and what makes it different
from England,Copy !req
56. which is also a country.Copy !req
57. Mm-hmm.
Wales and its identity,Copy !req
58. its traditions, and why it is
the ultimate underdog story.Copy !req
59. That's right,
it's a very special episodeCopy !req
60. involving learning.Copy !req
61. But don't worry.
You won't learn much.Copy !req
62. And I suspect you'll retain
almost none of it.Copy !req
63. First up tonight,
we welcome John Green,Copy !req
64. author of
Turtles All the Way DownCopy !req
65. and The Fault in Our Stars.Copy !req
66. John, how about
a crash course in Wales?Copy !req
67. Hello, and welcome
to Crash Course.Copy !req
68. Today we're learning
about Wales,Copy !req
69. a land of majesty, dampness,
and epic place names.Copy !req
70. Let's begin with the first factCopy !req
71. Welsh people want you to know.Copy !req
72. Wales is not England.Copy !req
73. That's England,
that's Scotland,Copy !req
74. and this is Wales.Copy !req
75. Now, the political situation
here is exceptionally complex.Copy !req
76. Wales is a country and has
its own language, Welsh,Copy !req
77. and its own parliament,
the Senedd.Copy !req
78. But at the same time,
Wales is partCopy !req
79. of a sovereign nation
called the United Kingdom.Copy !req
80. So, like, when competing
in the World Cup,Copy !req
81. Welsh athletes compete
for Wales.Copy !req
82. But in the Olympics,Copy !req
83. Welsh athletes may compete
for Great Britain.Copy !req
84. And to understand
this strange situation,Copy !req
85. we're gonna need some history.Copy !req
86. As early as 1,000 B.C.E.,Copy !req
87. the Celts were living
in what we now call Wales.Copy !req
88. Centuries later, the Romans
took over the regionCopy !req
89. before leaving
in the early fifth century,Copy !req
90. and by the sixth,
the country was a patchworkCopy !req
91. of independent tribes
and kingdoms.Copy !req
92. But around that time, touchstonesCopy !req
93. of what would become
a unified Welsh cultureCopy !req
94. were starting to emerge.Copy !req
95. Then in the eighth century,
an English king builtCopy !req
96. a man-made earthwork,Copy !req
97. which is like
a fancy archeological termCopy !req
98. for piles of soil and rock,Copy !req
99. along what was becomingCopy !req
100. the border between Wales
and England.Copy !req
101. But the English kept
peering overCopy !req
102. that tall, earthy fence—Copy !req
103. by which I mean invading.Copy !req
104. Wales resisted
these invasions,Copy !req
105. most famously
under the leadershipCopy !req
106. of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd,Copy !req
107. who was known
as Llywelyn the LastCopy !req
108. for a reason.Copy !req
109. Following the English
King Edward I's warCopy !req
110. beginning in 1282,
Wales lost its independence.Copy !req
111. But it's one thing
to control some land.Copy !req
112. It's another
to control people,Copy !req
113. and over the centuries,Copy !req
114. English kings and wards builtCopy !req
115. hundreds of castles in WalesCopy !req
116. which served both as, like,
medieval AirbnbsCopy !req
117. and as symbols of England's
power over the locals.Copy !req
118. In fact, to this day,Copy !req
119. Wales has more castles
per square mileCopy !req
120. than anywhere else in Europe.Copy !req
121. Eventually, in 1400,Copy !req
122. self-declared Prince of Wales
Owain GlyndwrCopy !req
123. led a nationwide mutiny
against Henry IV's England.Copy !req
124. That rebellion
ultimately failed, though.Copy !req
125. And a few English Henrys later,Copy !req
126. Henry VIII's parliament
formally unitedCopy !req
127. Wales and England
into a single political system.Copy !req
128. All right, let's flash forward
to the 19th centuryCopy !req
129. when tolls were imposed
on privately-owned roadsCopy !req
130. at the expense
of Welsh workers.Copy !req
131. Riots ensued,Copy !req
132. most famously
the Rebecca riots,Copy !req
133. named after a line
from GenesisCopy !req
134. where Rebecca is promisedCopy !req
135. that her descendants will
"possess the gatesCopy !req
136. of those who hate them,"Copy !req
137. which is pretty metal.Copy !req
138. But not as metal as Wales.Copy !req
139. Please, God,
forgive me for that pun.Copy !req
140. Its mineral-rich landscape
was mined and exportedCopy !req
141. to fuel
the Industrial RevolutionCopy !req
142. which led to a major
19th-century transformationCopy !req
143. in Wales
from an agricultural economyCopy !req
144. to an industrial one.Copy !req
145. And as that happened,
popular protestsCopy !req
146. for workers' rights persisted.Copy !req
147. In other words,
the people did eventually takeCopy !req
148. possession of the gates.Copy !req
149. And those people,Copy !req
150. many of them were
speaking Welsh.Copy !req
151. Today, Wales remains
a part of the United Kingdom,Copy !req
152. and so like Scotland
and Northern Ireland,Copy !req
153. it lacks some characteristicsCopy !req
154. of a truly independent
nation-state.Copy !req
155. But Wales endures,Copy !req
156. as do celebrations
of WelshnessCopy !req
157. such as Saint David's Day,Copy !req
158. a holiday where you attend
festivals, play music,Copy !req
159. and pin a leek to your lapel.Copy !req
160. Because, I don't know,
traditions are weirdCopy !req
161. and beautiful
everywhere you go.Copy !req
162. And of course there are
Welsh sports.Copy !req
163. Welsh football has revived
the protest song "Yma o Hyd"Copy !req
164. that celebrates the endurance
of the underdog.Copy !req
165. And all of these
historical developments ledCopy !req
166. to the most important event
in the history of Wales,Copy !req
167. which was, of course,
when the fifth-tierCopy !req
168. football club in Wrexham
was purchased by Ryan ReynoldsCopy !req
169. and his friend who works out
all the timeCopy !req
170. but still isn't as hot
as Ryan Reynolds.Copy !req
171. Thanks for watching
Crash Course.Copy !req
172. Back to you, Rob and Ryan.Copy !req
173. Mm. Good God, I love history.Copy !req
174. What's that?
Where did you get that?Copy !req
175. - What?
- The glasses and the—Copy !req
176. This is a lunch menu
and these are fake.Copy !req
177. I want something
for my hands.Copy !req
178. You know, I believe
Wales may be olderCopy !req
179. than It's Always Sunny
in Philadelphia, Rob.Copy !req
180. Oh, or your self-aware
winking to the camera, Ryan.Copy !req
181. Good God, I love self-aware
winking to the camera.Copy !req
182. Next up, our good friend
Maxine Hughes helps usCopy !req
183. cook up something special.Copy !req
184. Croeso nol, welcome back
to Welsh or Else,Copy !req
185. where we highlight
the best of Welsh cooking.Copy !req
186. Today, we're joined
by the cochairmenCopy !req
187. of the North Walian
football clubCopy !req
188. the Wrexham Red Dragons,Copy !req
189. Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds
and Rob McElhenney.Copy !req
190. How come I have to wear
the apronCopy !req
191. and you're not wearing one?
- 'Cause you doCopy !req
192. what you're told,
that's why.Copy !req
193. Hey, boys?Copy !req
194. I'm gonna take off the apron.Copy !req
195. Well, I am so excitedCopy !req
196. to share some Welsh cooking
with everyone.Copy !req
197. You guys ready?
- Ready.Copy !req
198. - Yeah.
- Excited.Copy !req
199. Now, Maxine, you're notCopy !req
200. just an amazing
Welsh translator.Copy !req
201. You're actually—
you're a journalist.Copy !req
202. I'm a journalist, yeah.
I live in D.C.Copy !req
203. I've lived there
for a few years.Copy !req
204. I mostly do
political journalism,Copy !req
205. so it's a little bit different
than dealing with you guys.Copy !req
206. What does "DC" stand for?Copy !req
207. Hmm.
- I'm more of a Marvel guy.Copy !req
208. Oh, I know. I know.Copy !req
209. Now how many
Welsh speakersCopy !req
210. are there in the world
right now?Copy !req
211. So I'd say
there's around a million,Copy !req
212. which is a really good numberCopy !req
213. because we're
a very small country,Copy !req
214. about 3.8 million of us.Copy !req
215. So it's-it's getting there.Copy !req
216. And so today you're—
you're gonna teach usCopy !req
217. a little Welsh cookingCopy !req
218. with a side order
of Welsh language.Copy !req
219. So I thought we'd start
by cookingCopy !req
220. one of my favorite dishes.Copy !req
221. It's a very traditional dish
called lamb cawl.Copy !req
222. Can you guys say cawl?Copy !req
223. Cawl.
- Cawl.Copy !req
224. It means stew in Welsh.Copy !req
225. So there's a lot of lambs
in Wales, though,Copy !req
226. if I'm not mistaken, right?
That's, uh—a common...Copy !req
227. - Yeah. Very common.
- Animal.Copy !req
228. Yeah, lamb farming
is-is a big deal in Wales.Copy !req
229. Hey, let's take a look.Copy !req
230. Poor little Rob.Copy !req
231. No, that's Ryan.Copy !req
232. - That's Rob.
- It's definitely Ryan.Copy !req
233. I mean,
it's a beautiful piece of lamb.Copy !req
234. Mm.
- It's probably Rob.Copy !req
235. So there's this other dish
called Welsh Cakes.Copy !req
236. - Let's do that.
- Let's make the Welsh Cakes.Copy !req
237. - Welsh Cakes?
- Yeah.Copy !req
238. Okay.Copy !req
239. Okay, so these are Welsh Cakes.
Okay.Copy !req
240. In Welsh, we call them
picau ar y maen.Copy !req
241. - Picara-mine?
- Picar-mine.Copy !req
242. Ar y maen.
Ara-mine.Copy !req
243. Ar-mine.
Ar y maen.Copy !req
244. They're very popular in Wales.Copy !req
245. We eat them
on Saint David's Day,Copy !req
246. but we-we eat them
all year round really.Copy !req
247. They're like a—
they're kind of like a crossCopy !req
248. between a pancake
and a scone and—Copy !req
249. you ready to make them?
Let's do it, yeah.Copy !req
250. Learn how to make them?
Okay, great.Copy !req
251. We're gonna learn a bit
of Welsh now, okay, guys?Copy !req
252. Sure.
Okay.Copy !req
253. So take your flour,
your blawd.Copy !req
254. We're gonna put the flour
into the bowl.Copy !req
255. Okay.Copy !req
256. Sugar. Siwgr nesaf.Copy !req
257. Sugar.
Sugar next.Copy !req
258. All right.Copy !req
259. A little bit of sbeis.
- Sbeis.Copy !req
260. A little bit of spice, okay?Copy !req
261. And then we're gonna put
the fruit that you got—Copy !req
262. the currants, the raisins—
Yeah.Copy !req
263. All right,
we're gonna put the menyn,Copy !req
264. the butter
and the lard in next.Copy !req
265. So I'm gonna use my fork—
fforch.Copy !req
266. Fforch?
Fforch.Copy !req
267. - Fforch?
- It's a Disney show.Copy !req
268. - We'll bleep it out.
- Rob, there's an "R."Copy !req
269. There's an "R" in it.
It's a Disney show.Copy !req
270. Fforch.
Fforch.Copy !req
271. - Get the fforch in there.Copy !req
272. Get—all right.Copy !req
273. All right, let's get
the menyn in the bowl then.Copy !req
274. You can use your spoon. Llwy.Copy !req
275. Can you say llwy?
Llwy.Copy !req
276. How do you speak without—Copy !req
277. I feel like I just spit
all over the—Copy !req
278. I—you know what?
Let's just put your hands—Copy !req
279. get your hands in there.
Start mixing.Copy !req
280. Cymysgu. Can you say cymysgu?Copy !req
281. Cymysgu.Copy !req
282. It looks very dry to me.Copy !req
283. Ew, yours looks horrible.Copy !req
284. Yeah.
Let's see yours.Copy !req
285. What happened to yours?
What?Copy !req
286. How do you say
"the butter is not soft"Copy !req
287. in Welsh?Copy !req
288. Great.Copy !req
289. So we're gonna need
to roll this out now.Copy !req
290. All right, just—you don't need
to make—go too-too flat.Copy !req
291. Okay, take your—
take your cutter.Copy !req
292. It's a circle. Cylch.Copy !req
293. Cylch.Copy !req
294. Let's make
a little-little circle.Copy !req
295. We're gonna cook them.
Coginio. Cook.Copy !req
296. Let's put them on. Ooh.
Nice.Copy !req
297. There's a little sizzle
going on.Copy !req
298. Nice.Copy !req
299. Okay.Copy !req
300. Looks like a Welsh Cake
to me.Copy !req
301. Looks like—well,
it smells like a Welsh Cake.Copy !req
302. This bed is on fire
with passionate loveCopy !req
303. Time to flip them.Copy !req
304. How do you say
Welsh cakes again?Copy !req
305. Picau ar y maen.Copy !req
306. Great.
- That's a mouthful.Copy !req
307. W-what would it sound like
if you said it in a sentence?Copy !req
308. Um, let me think
of something.Copy !req
309. Okay, um...Copy !req
310. That's beautiful.Copy !req
311. Sounds like—it's like poetry.Copy !req
312. Oh, yeah.
Yeah.Copy !req
313. You think they're ready?Copy !req
314. - They look pretty good.Copy !req
315. - Barod i fwyta?
- Barod.Copy !req
316. - Ready to eat?
- Take them off?Copy !req
317. - Yeah.
- Let's have a look.Copy !req
318. All right,
they look pretty good.Copy !req
319. This one's yours, Ryan.Copy !req
320. Just—let's keep
Rob's separate.Copy !req
321. I'm gonna put siwgr—
siwgr on the top.Copy !req
322. Siwgr.
Yeah.Copy !req
323. How do you say "terrible"
in Welsh?Copy !req
324. Ofnadwy.Copy !req
325. - Ofnadwy.
- How do you say "idiot"Copy !req
326. in Welsh?
- Eh, twmffat.Copy !req
327. Twmffat.Copy !req
328. - I'm gonna try one of these.
And how do you sayCopy !req
329. both terrible—let's say,
what would "terrible"Copy !req
330. and "idiot" sound like
in a sentence together?Copy !req
331. Um, okay, a sentence. Um...Copy !req
332. You're having
a mid-life crisis?Copy !req
333. You play hockey?Copy !req
334. This is Sports Center.Copy !req
335. Tonight on Sports Center,Copy !req
336. can the Wrexham Red DragonsCopy !req
337. shake off their losing streak?Copy !req
338. We look at a few pictures
when Ryan and I played sportsCopy !req
339. and make smart remarks
about them.Copy !req
340. And we count down
the top playsCopy !req
341. of the year so far.Copy !req
342. Welcome to the big show, everybody.Copy !req
343. I'm Rob McElhenney,Copy !req
344. currently fulfilling
a boyhood dreamCopy !req
345. of calling an episode
of Sports Center.Copy !req
346. And I'm Ryan Reynolds,
fulfilling a boyhood dreamCopy !req
347. of wearing a suit to work
and sitting at a desk.Copy !req
348. This is still Sports Center.Copy !req
349. Welcome to...Copy !req
350. Sports Center.
- Yeah.Copy !req
351. Since our takeover
and infusion of talent,Copy !req
352. the Red Dragons have,
quite frankly, struggled.Copy !req
353. Yeah, we sit in seventh place,Copy !req
354. losing to teams that we should
be winning against.Copy !req
355. This isn't really going
exactly the way we—Copy !req
356. No, we're financially
bleeding to death...Copy !req
357. - Yeah.
- From self-inflicted stupidityCopy !req
358. and an unsound business plan.
- Yeah.Copy !req
359. And for those of you
who are notCopy !req
360. in the world of sports,
uh, you're supposed to win.Copy !req
361. It's helpful.
We sit in seventh place,Copy !req
362. while Stockport seems likeCopy !req
363. the team to beat
in the national league.Copy !req
364. Let's take a look at Wrexham's
first match against Stockport.Copy !req
365. We go to Edgeley Park
where the place is hoppin'--Copy !req
366. and also the players.Copy !req
367. In the first minute,Copy !req
368. Stockport County have
a throw-inCopy !req
369. which results
in a decent chance on goalCopy !req
370. but is easily saved
by Rob LaintonCopy !req
371. who then boots it upfield
to a sprinting Paul MullinCopy !req
372. who does exactly
what Paul Mullin does—Copy !req
373. put one in the back
of the net.Copy !req
374. The Wrexham fans
who traveled to see the gameCopy !req
375. are super excited
and I'm sure 100% sober.Copy !req
376. 23 minutes later,
McAlinden feedsCopy !req
377. an amazing ball to Mullin
who switches feetCopy !req
378. for a great chance on goal.Copy !req
379. Up 1-0 at the half.
God, we look great.Copy !req
380. Got this one in the bag,
right, Rob?Copy !req
381. Wrong!Copy !req
382. Because we lose
this one, Ryan.Copy !req
383. Yeah, the guy goes
to the corner, he throws it,Copy !req
384. and then this guy...
Oh, got it.Copy !req
385. hits it in with his head.
They score.Copy !req
386. that guy.
So, yeah, this is—Copy !req
387. this is great.
Yep. Yep. It's great.Copy !req
388. Great like a mule kick
to the testicles.Copy !req
389. Also, spoiler alert, I guess—Copy !req
390. I-I don't care.
I don't care.Copy !req
391. Because I'm the anchor
and I can doCopy !req
392. whatever I want.Copy !req
393. And then with ten minutes
left to go,Copy !req
394. this guy
comes up the left side.Copy !req
395. He kicks over to this guy
on the right.Copy !req
396. Oh, this is the worst!Copy !req
397. Oh, you're kidding me.
Shoots and carries off,Copy !req
398. like, five of our guys
and they kick it in.Copy !req
399. Oh, it hurts so bad.
And then the game's overCopy !req
400. 'cause they win. Yep.
Goal.Copy !req
401. We just keep on losing.Copy !req
402. So good at losing.Copy !req
403. God, we're the best.Copy !req
404. But just because the Dragons
aren't playingCopy !req
405. up to their full potential
quite yet doesn't meanCopy !req
406. there haven't been
some fantastic plays.Copy !req
407. Indeed.
It's been a team effort.Copy !req
408. And we've compiled our list
of top ten playsCopy !req
409. of the year so far.Copy !req
410. Number ten, Mr. Paul Mullin
lifts one upCopy !req
411. from the top of the box.Copy !req
412. Man, he makes it look easy.Copy !req
413. Number nine,
Cam Green with a niftyCopy !req
414. left-footed treat.Copy !req
415. Number eight,Copy !req

from a million miles away,Copy !req
423. blasts a screamer
past the goalie.Copy !req
424. Number five,
Paul Mullin using that head.Copy !req
425. Speaking of heads,Copy !req
426. Jordan Davies' head was
in the right placeCopy !req
427. at the right time
and he used it as well.Copy !req
428. In at number three,Copy !req
429. Paul Mullin bends
like a Spice Girl's husbandCopy !req
430. and then does
a little trash-talking.Copy !req
431. Number two,Copy !req
432. just in case you thought
it was the Glory BoysCopy !req
433. that get the glory,
Rob Lainton makesCopy !req
434. the save of the season.Copy !req
435. Then he has a couple
of choice wordsCopy !req

437. It's a family show, Rob.Copy !req
438. And number one,Copy !req
439. Paul Mullin once again
using that head.Copy !req
440. You know, so often,
Sports Center focusesCopy !req
441. on professional sports.Copy !req
442. But a lot of us stop
playing sports competitivelyCopy !req
443. much younger.Copy !req
444. So with the help of Rob's dad,Copy !req
445. I've unearthed some footage
of Rob playing sportsCopy !req
446. when he was just a child.Copy !req
447. I think you can see
where this is going, Rob.Copy !req
448. - Abject humiliation.
- Absolutely.Copy !req
449. Let's go to Philadelphia
in the 1990s.Copy !req
450. Okay, Rob's the little one
in case you didn't know.Copy !req
451. Okay, can we just
address this right now?Copy !req
452. I am not small.Copy !req
453. It's just that you're
abnormally large,Copy !req
454. and I'm constantly standing
next to you in this show.Copy !req
455. Well, what about Humphrey?Copy !req
456. Humphrey? Humphrey is a giant.Copy !req
457. You can't compare me
to Humphrey.Copy !req
458. He's—okay, you know what?
I look normal on the show.Copy !req
459. You guys are
the ones that lookCopy !req
460. like oversized goons.Copy !req
461. Look at some of my other showsCopy !req
462. where I'm standing
next to normal-sized people.Copy !req
463. You see? So it's all relative.Copy !req
464. But enough about me, Ryan.Copy !req
465. Let's talk about you
and your past.Copy !req
466. Because I spoke with your mom.Copy !req
467. And I actually unearthed
some photosCopy !req
468. of your old playing days.Copy !req
469. And I thought we would all
enjoy them together.Copy !req
470. Oh. Thank you, Mom.Copy !req
471. Let's take a look.Copy !req
472. And here is you playing goalieCopy !req
473. in what looks like
the worst soccer fieldCopy !req
474. I have ever seen.Copy !req
475. It wasn't so bad.Copy !req
476. It was 80% gravel
and 20% broken glass,Copy !req
477. which made you appreciate
the gravel.Copy !req
478. Who's taking
that picture, Ryan?Copy !req
479. My dad, actually.
If you zoom in,Copy !req
480. you could see me looking
for his approval.Copy !req
481. Uh, still looking for it.Copy !req
482. That one is so sad
I'm just gonna let it go.Copy !req
483. Tomorrow night,
a hard-hitting 30 for 30Copy !req
484. investigating whatever happened
to the Wrexham Robin,Copy !req
485. beloved mascot for decadesCopy !req
486. until it mysteriously
disappeared in 2013Copy !req
487. only to be replaced
by a much more dynamic,Copy !req
488. focus-group friendly dragon.Copy !req
489. I heard kids love dragons.Copy !req
490. You gotta love that merch.
Good night, everyone.Copy !req
491. Yeah, uh, oh—no, there's
a whole other segment.Copy !req
492. What?Copy !req
493. There's a whole
other segment, so—Copy !req
494. Can you handle it?
No!Copy !req
495. I can't do it alone—
it's a two-person gig.Copy !req
496. Oh, God, the whining.Copy !req
497. You belong
in Bristol, Connecticut.Copy !req
498. Oh, lovely.Copy !req
499. Wow.
