Nick: Correct.

Leah: And the last part is negotiable where I think I present the way that you could...situations are flexible...

Nick: Hmm...

Nick: Yes, which is less flexible.

Leah: Less flexible in theory.

Nick: Leah, were you raised by wolves?

Leah: Yes!

Here are some things that can make it better
When we have to live together
We can all use a little help
So people don't ask themselves
Were you raised by wolves?
