At least you had fun there.

Heh, now I wonder what was that last word they got wrong? :-)

If I had to rewrite over that mess, here's what the lines should be..

"I must hide you somewhere!"
"They say you're very skilled."
"That's unbelievably rad!" (OK that last one is just being creative
since I don't know what was said or the context it was in, but I was
writing to a "youth" demographic in mind)
