SHIA44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YHI9Nv5HB
(Intrigued to SHIA) Oh really... that show and those investor judges are total douchebags... you’ve got no chance in winning those shows son.... they denounce your business opportunity... most of them they denounce and make you feel bad..
DYLAN44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11IeN7q7cx

I have been honest and kind my whole life... and tried to do things the right way... no one takes interest in me or my baking dreams... investors don’t want to hear my crybaby business story... so I discovered... that the only way to get through life is lie and cheat... (worried) I know it’s wrong MAMA.. but I am desperate..
(A PAUSE)
DYLAN44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNpMq7MHc9

(Annoyed to SHIA) MUM... I am getting sick of being poor... I watch all these motivational speeches all the time... and they’re all full of crap... how do I honestly get started with being honest... no one cares about honesty anymore... if I went on the PLUS AWAY show; they would denounce my baking dreams straight away... calling me too feminine to want to cook in the kitchen..
(DYLAN continues)
DYLAN44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAwo8AOTOy
(frustrated to SHIA) they would ridicule me on LIVE TV for being a man who loves to cook in the kitchen.... I had to come up with some other bullshit IDEA they would like... like TECHNOLOGY... and bullshit them that way... provide.... bullshit them with something believable they will invest in..
(DYLAN breathes)
DYLAN44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i4l1v9k8F
