Pshaw, what are you talking about? You're a champion... plus way hotter than any Laker girl!
Aww thanks... you're just saying that so I can get you tickets to the game and sit next to Jessica Alba!
Think of that complement as a deposit for a comp ticket in the future. And yes, sitting next to Jessica Alba wouldn't hurt.
She's hot!
Scalding! Good taste! Who else of the estrogen-packing kind do you think are hot?
Eva Longoria, for sure. I watch Desperate Housewives just to see her... I sound so lesbo right now! [laughs]
And I'm totally cool with that.
Oh, and Kim Kardashian. Some people say that I look like her which is a total compliment. Except I don't have nearly the nice butt she has.
Her's is a little too big. Like two handballs.
Maybe if I scarf down some more burgers I'll get there, too...
Don't! Contrary to popular belief, there can be too much cushion for the pushin'. Plus your's are more than fine. They are excellent.
[laughs] Okay, I'll go put the burger away, then.
Yes, please. On the topic of food, what's your favorite Mexican restaurant?
Well, my favorite restaurant is my mom's kitchen, but I'd say if something were to come close, it would be SuperMex.
They have bomb machaca con huevos...
I don't even know what you just said... you know more Spanish than I do! [laughs]
What? Really?
Huevos means eggs, right?
Por supuesto! No me digas!
Huh?
No puede hablar espanol?
Umm... no? [laughs] I hate that I don't know it. I just pretend that I do so no one talks shit about me in Spanish.
But you grew up in the LA area...?
In Lakewood, aka `The Wood'. By the way, just because it has the word `wood' in it, doesn't mean its ghetto.
Growing up in LA, it's damn near impossible not to learn some Spanish! I'm Korean and yo hablo poquito! You didn't take it in high school?
You are so going to laugh... I took Spanish for two years and I passed with an A+! My teacher liked me so much that I didn't have to take my final! In hindsight, I wish I paid more attention in class!
She probably figured since you're of Latino heritage you were a shoe-in for an "A"
[laughs] No, she knew I didn't know a darn thing. The one word I did learn is mantequilla. [laughs] Of course, it had to be about food!
That's butter, right?
[laughs] Yes! Oh good! Now I'm teaching you some Spanish! I feel better now...
[laughs] How useful is having "butter" as your one word in a Spanish-speaking country? Outside of an international movie theatre, you're assed out!
Well then, it's a good thing I'm always at the movie theatre... plus, you can think of interesting sayings to use with butter. Like, `Hey, can I mantequilla you up?!'
Anytime, my dear, anytime. I'll even settle for I Can't Believe it's Not Mantequilla! Besides cheerleading and your obsession with butter, you work with autistic kids...
Yes, I have been for about three years and I love my kids! They're so precious.
What is it, exactly, that you do?
Well, I get assigned a case and I go to their house and work on behavior modification. I help them with their daily living needs and make sure they're not a danger to themselves or to others. It's pretty tough sometimes...
In what way?
Well, some of them can get pretty aggressive. Since I'm short, and about their heights, they have gotten me pretty good! They would be walking by me, and all of the sudden, decide to slap me. [laughs] I've gotten pretty banged up at times. One time, my face was all scratched up and when I came home, my mom thought I got jumped. [laughs] When I've had bruises all over my body, people would ask if I had an abusive boyfriend. [laughs] It's the sacrifice I make... and I still love it!
Yikes. Never in a million years would I have thought of Rain Man as a violent being...
Oh yeah! That's where I learn all my kung fu moves!
