Leah: Appropriate...
Nick: According to the rules of society...
Leah: OK.
Nick: ...that i have set.
Leah: Perfect.
Nick: But I think we all agree on these things.
Leah: No. That's where I think we don't agree.
Nick: Well, I wish we did agree because then society would work more smoothly.
Leah: Yes, I agree that we should all be polite.
Nick: Yes.
Leah: But you don't have to behave.
Nick: Oooooh. You're a bad girl.

Nick: Excuse me!
Leah: Yeah...about behaving well.
Nick: Uh...yes?
Leah: And I'm not into the third part.

Leah: This show is about being kind...
Nick: Yes.
Leah: And polite...
Nick: Correct.
Leah: And the last part is negotiable where I think I present the way that you could...situations are flexible...
Nick: Hmm...
Leah: And you are letting us know what the rules of those situations are.
Nick: Yes, which is less flexible.
Leah: Less flexible in theory.
Nick: Leah, were you raised by wolves?
Leah: Yes!

Here are some things that can make it better
When we have to live together
We can all use a little help
So people don't ask themselves
Were you raised by wolves?
