_ [N] _ Let me slowly introduce you to my fellow artistes.
On the very far end, this is Kuhn here, and this _ _ _ _ _ _ _ is Em.
_ _ _ Now, she can't speak French either, but she said that if I needed anybody to help translate,
she would do it through interpretive dance, which I think is delightful.
So, I am very happy to be here. _ _
_ _ _ _ So, every now and again, when I have a particularly difficult passage to translate, Em will do that for me.
And our other vocalist, this is Holly.
_ _ _ Come and tell us where you bought your dress.
