sarah: tell me what you think of this song.

carlos: what is this? this is a computer song.

amanda: yeah, this song sounds like "where in the world is carmen san diego." the game, not the tv show one.

carlos: no, it's the sound of a computer in your _head_.

devan: you are SO weird, carlos.

oscar: this is the craziest song i ever heard. the people sound like this: (bellows in a breathy voice...everyone laughs)

carlos: is this song about something?

sarah: what do you think?

carlos: yeah. it's about the ocean, when you're under water and there's dolphins. someday i'm going to do that thing where you swim with a dolphin.

amanda: no, it's about a boyfriend. i know because i listen to pink, and she has boyfriend songs.

devan: that's disgusting! miss allen, you should not be letting little kids listen to songs about a boyfriend. that's dirty.

amanda: it's not dirty! it's only dirty if they say the word "booty."

carlos: they did say 'booty'!

sarah: they did not!

carlos: yeah, i heard it!
