Junior gives insight regarding wildcat shaped building, the architecture business, cheese
WILDCAT: Why did you choose architecture?
HINTZ: I don't know. I like to draw and I'm good at math and, I don't know, there wasn't anything else I wanted to do.
WILDCAT: And you make lots of money.
HINTZ: Well, actually when you first start out you don't get paid that much.
WILDCAT: Really? That' s a bummer.
HINTZ: Yeah, but once you get your, like, reputation built up and everything, you can get a pretty good salary.
WILDCAT: What do you think about the way the buildings on the UA campus were built?
HINTZ: Well, actually, they are pretty traditional for, like, a university campus.
WILDCAT: Isn't there a building shaped like a wildcat?
HINTZ: I don't know.
WILDCAT: I think it's the one that has all the little people in front of it.
HINTZ: The chemistry building?
WILDCAT: Sure. All I know is that it has those creepy little people in front of it. I am sure that one night, some real smart drunk person decided that it looked like a wildcat, and now it's infamous.
HINTZ: I had never heard that.
WILDCAT: Yeah, you have to stand kind of far away and squint your eyes, and you can kind of make out a wildcat.
HINTZ: Oh really?
WILDCAT: Yeah. What are you building right now?
HINTZ: We are actually working with plaster.
WILDCAT: Fun. Can you make a mold of my face?
HINTZ: No.
WILDCAT: Well, have you ever done that?
HINTZ: No.
WILDCAT: Would you ever build a building out of cheese?
HINTZ: I've never thought about it. I don't know.
WILDCAT: OK, then answer this for me. If you were to jump off a building, what would be your last words?
HINTZ: I don't think I can say it on tape.
