Andrew: You made it home safely I assume.
Jewel: You would assume correctly. The drive from my apartment to the office is such a pain though.
Andrew: A lot of traffic?
Jewel: Yes! and I absolutely hate when it's around six in the afternoon then it get really clogged and it's just like FML!
Andrew: Fml, feed me lasagna?
Jewel: It means fuck my life. It's text talk and I didn't mean to say fml.
Andrew: That's funny because, Chloe thinks it means feed me lasagna and she loves lasagna.
Jewel: Chloe sounds like my kinda girl. Lasagna is the best food ever, no one can tell me otherwise.
Andrew: I'm more of a steak person but yes lasagna is good too.
Jewel: You know what, I just realized we've been on the phone for almost an hour. It doesn't even feel like it. Really it only seems like five minutes.
Andrew: When you're enjoying yourself time doesn't always matter. Obviously this doesn't apply to Cinderella because she had a time limit and that didn't end well.
Jewel: She married a prince, hell yea it ended well.
Andrew: Je t'adore, oui.
Jewel: What does that mean? I know it's French.
Andrew: I'm not telling you. Google it.
Jewel: I'm not gonna Google it when you can just tell me what it means.
Andrew: I'm gonna keep saying it to you until you figure out what it means.
Jewel: Do you mean now or.
Andrew: Just in general, but if you text me I won't say it.
Jewel: Why not?
Andrew: Copy paste is a thing you know.
Jewel: It's so early! I need something to do, help me!
Andrew: Read a book, write a story, jump on your bed, find something to occupy yourself.
Jewel: I have something to occupy myself. I'm talking to you, it's just so early. Like I'm tired but I don't want to go to sleep.
Andrew: It's 6 o'clock how are you tired?
Jewel: It doesn't even feel like we've been on the phone for that long at all. Plus it's was a long boring uneventful day at work.
Andrew: What no pie today?
Jewel: I just rolled my eyes at you. I like cheesecake.
Andrew: Cheesecake is the best, especially New York style.
Jewel: I don't know about you!
Andrew: But I'm feelin, 22 Taylor Swift. You know it's weird but I'm not really a big fan of her. Some of her music is good but I just don't see why everyone loves her.
Jewel: When did we become one person, because that's exactly how I feel.
Andrew: Je t'adore, vous êtes incroyable.
Jewel: No you can't do that, I don't know what you said.
Andrew: And I'm not gonna tell you either. Figure it out, Google it.
Jewel: No I don't want to Google it. Googling it doesn't teach me anything it just shows me what it means.
Andrew: So you actually want to learn French?
Jewel: Yes and Google doesn't always help with that.
Andrew: First lesson is how to say hello or good morning. Do you kniw what that is?
Jewel: No.
Andrew: Bonjour is how you say it. Now you say it.
Jewel: Bonejor?
Andrew: Almost, bon-jour.
Jewel: Bon-jour, bonjour.
Andrew: Bonjour madame.
Jewel: Okay what's next?
Andrew: Now here's how you say goodbye. Au revoir.
Jewel: Arvwa. I can't say that.
Andrew: Yes you can just practice it. Au revoir.
Jewel: I'm gonna be up all night practicing how to say goodbye in French.
Andrew: Good athletes practice until they get it right, great athletes practice until the never get it wrong. In your case though you're a student not an athlete.
Jewel: Tú eres adorable. Yo hablo español muy bien. Soy muy mala in francés.
Andrew: Yo hablo español tambien pero no muy bien.
Jewel: Who taught you how to speak French?
Andrew: My grandmother is French and would speak to me in it so, naturally I just started repeating what she said.
Jewel: What about Spanish, how did you learn that?
Andrew: I took three years of it at school when I went.
Jewel: Hey Drew guess what time it is.
Andrew: What time is it?
Jewel: Time for some Q and S with JJ!
Andrew: What and what, with who?
Jewel: Whatever kid let's play.
Andrew: Alright let's go then.
Jewel: First question, what is everthing you didn't say?
Andrew: Besides a song by 5sos, everything I didn't say is a lot so that's it.
Jewel: Next if you could have any superpower what would it be, and why?
Andrew: I would choose telepathy because it would be awesome to move things with my mind and read others peoples mind.
Jewel: Lovely answer, If you could spend the day with any person in the world dead or alive who would it be?
Andrew: Either Morgan Freeman or Tupac Shakur.
Jewel: Interesting, who are some of your biggest influences?
Andrew: This may seem weird but mostly all my influence are black. My family has come to the conclusion I was born into the wrong family. Anyway my biggest influence would probably have to be MLK Jr or Bob Marley. Both of them are iconic people.
Jewel: They said you were born into the wrong family, as in you should have been black?
Andrew: You shouldn't laugh at that, I didn't think they should have said that.
Jewel: It's funny. You can't help that your inner black person shows through.
Andrew: Jewel, it's late. I think I should probably get some sleep.
Jewel: Do you really have to go?
Andrew: Yea, I'll talk to you later okay?
Jewel: Okay, goodnight.
Andrew: Goodnight.
