00:00 Manny, I was also wondering what was harder to memorize for this movie, all the math vocabulary

00:05 you had to pick up or all of the like the songs and the rap lyrics you had to you had to perform?

00:10 I think the dialogue and all that was like pretty easy since I would just like read the lines like

00:18 right before we shot like the scene. So yeah, I guess it kind of worked out. But yeah, I think

01:11 other and being supportive and sort of loving as collaborators and being like, hey, it could be
