Hey, Jan, have you ever heard of the Dolly Parton diet?
She likes Dolly Parton.
She was curious.
She turned back and she said, no, what's that?
You go lean, go lean, go lean, go lean.
And Jen, in spite herself, started to laugh.
It was funny.

This machine is unbelievably persistent, right?
It is going to do everything it possibly can to work its way into her day.

Would you like me to play some soothing music?
