Junior box office ticket seller gets creeped out by singing men with masks, considers self Îthe spice' in her mac'n'cheese

WILDCAT: What is your job here at Centennial Hall?

PUGA: I'm a ticket-seller.

WILDCAT: A ticket-seller. Is that your official title?

PUGA: Yeah, box office ticket-seller.

WILDCAT: Do you ever see the performances that go on here?

PUGA: Yeah, if you work a show, then after your shift you can. Sometimes you get comp tickets.

WILDCAT: What's the most exciting show you've seen here?

PUGA: I think "Phantom of the Opera."

WILDCAT: What if a man with a creepy mask was following you around and singing to you, do you think you would fall in love with him?

PUGA: Probably not.

WILDCAT: I would probably slap him. If you were a bowl of mac'n'cheese, would you want to be, the macaroni or the cheese?

PUGA: I have no idea.

WILDCAT: Well, let's think about it. Let's weigh the pros and cons of each.

PUGA: OK.

WILDCAT: If you are macaroni you are ·

PUGA: Fun-shaped.

WILDCAT: And pretty good-tasting.

WILDCAT PHOTOGRAPHER: Yes, but the cheese is the whole flavor.

PUGA: Yeah, that's true ÷ the macaroni doesn't taste good by itself.

WILDCAT: But it's the foundation. So are you the spice, or the glue that holds everything together?

PUGA: The spice.

WILDCAT: If I dared you to put 20 jalape–os in your mouth, would you do it?

PUGA: Twenty jalape–os. I don't think so.

WILDCAT: Would you stick just one up your nose?

PUGA: What kind of question is that? Um · no.

WILDCAT: I knew someone who did, and his nostril was inflamed for a few days.

PUGA: OK, that's weird.
