You are boring me to tears

It's going to take me 20 minutes to find my stuff. Now I need mouth to mouth

Oh, I just dropped a little butter in there. Welcome to the party

All right, so we're fixing to do y'all Paula in a pinch

That just means nothing's been planned. And we're doing Paula in a pinch for a party

OK. So we've got to prepare something that we can take to a party

All right, well, let's get it. All right, so walk on. I've already looked a little bit over here

All right, let's see. We've got chicken cutlets, pork chops, pork loin

sweet Italian sausage. I like the chicken. All right, and we don't necessarily have to do a meat, Sam

Let me pick your meat. All right, I'll take the chicken cutlets

OK. Good. What do you want to make? What are you thinking of making? I'm thinking about making chicken

some type of sauteed with vegetables, with chicken cut up in it, with some kind of..

That sounds so boring. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's some sauce or what is that

Well, okay, what do you think? What do you think? All right, you do that, and I'm going to do something. Okay, okay, okay, okay
