she's been on the show before, she's really incredible, isn't she?
Why do you like her so much?

Wow. >> Yeah.

Do you sometimes steal more kisses than one?
>> No.
>> [LAUGH] >> Not since she got caught.
[LAUGH] >> I see.
I see.
>> She thought if she would steal them,
that the days would go by a little bit faster until he's back.
So she would just sneak them.
But she got caught and she won't do it again.
