Katherine: Yup, it was fun!

Jay: Daniel (Stern)…um?

Daniel: She’s not wasting her time.

Katherine: Well, they used to tell us we need a hobby, but...

Jay: (laughs) Now, you sort of have your own language, too. You were telling me, you guys just sort of invent words, right? But, I guess all kids do that, right?

Katherine: Yeah. Okay, well, there’s a whole lingo that goes with high school, right? I mean, you say things like "chillin’" and "buggin’" and, um, what else do we say...

Daniel: "Def?" You said "def" in your other thing, right?

Katherine: (laughs) Yes, that one. (sarcastic) (audience laughs) And there’s, um...But, um, we were actually sitting around at this little, like, Coffee Connection kind of place in town and we were like, "Well, we’re so bored, let’s make up a new word!" So, we made up one. It was "upstate"; it means cool.

Jay: "Upstate." Well, I can see that…"upstate," now that would be cool. Now, let me ask you this. Now, this is a really stupid question. But do kids, like, still dance and do stuff, at like, parties and things?

Katherine: Of course.

Jay: Well, I don’t know!

Katherine: Oh, come on, we’re not like...

Jay: I don’t know, I haven’t gone out with a 16-year-old for months! Well, I don’t know, I don’t know what’s cool, I don’t know if it’s cool. I mean, do kids still do dance?

Katherine: Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, we have, like, an ensemble of different dances.

Jay: (does a strange hand motion, possibly demonstrating "dirty dancing") This one?

Katherine: No, we don’t do that one.

Daniel: Hey, why don’t you two dance? Hey, why don’t you dance together?

Jay: Do you have any dances?

Katherine: Yeah, we have…okay, has anyone heard of like, "The Lawnmower"? Has anybody heard of that? (mild applause)
