It's really weird when you learn a second language and listen to native speakers and at first it sounds like this and then after a while of learning it somehow becomes proper words. Blew my damn mind.

Don't worry, it's incomprehensible if you have the script at hand. Which was the point.

Two things.
One. I’m hard of hearing, so if there’s even a little bit of background chatter, this is what all conversations sound like, even though I’m a native English speaker.
Two. Despite that, the most confusing thing was her bringing in a plate of whole pineapples with sparklers in them as if that was the winning move in the argument. And it seemed to have worked.
