This one is near the lids, past the old navy. Do you guys know if we get, like, pee breaks?

0:01:57 Unknown Speaker #2

They said if if you have an emergency, you can leave, but We get breaks every forty five minutes.

0:02:03 Unknown Speaker #3

Okay. I think that's why they put the hay. Right? You can just sorta go. Right?

0:02:14 Unknown Speaker #3

That was kid. Most kidding. I didn't already.

0:02:19 Unknown Speaker #4

If your character doesn't have to pee, you don't have to pee.

0:02:24 Unknown Speaker #3

I think we're talking more about the rules rather than a philosophy.

0:02:28 Unknown Speaker #4

But I yes. I just don't feel that I have to pee. So I'm

0:02:33 Unknown Speaker #2

glad that you feel that I'm glad you do because you're playing an angel top of this thing, and it would really rain down on all of us. So please don't pee.

0:02:41 Unknown Speaker #4

Angel's no piss.

0:02:43 Unknown Speaker #5

I don't think they say piss either.

0:02:45 Unknown Speaker #2

You've got you've got to quit saying that when people walk by the nativity, angels don't piss.

0:02:56 Unknown Speaker #1
