Wildcat: Hi. My name's Nathan and you're On the Spot.
Santilli: Lauren.
Wildcat: I felt kind of cautious coming up to you, 'cause you're a girl. I just talked to some girls right now, and before I could ask them questions, they were all: "Are you some crazy guy trying to take our pictures?" I was all: "No." I had to show them my badge and everything.
Santilli: I was wondering the same thing.
Wildcat: Are you serious?
Santilli: Yeah.
Wildcat: Do I look like a creepy guy?
Santilli: No. But you are wandering around the streets at night.
Wildcat: Yeah. I understand. Do you carry mace on you?
Santilli: No. [Opens her fist to reveal a mass of deadly-looking, toothy metal] I have keys.
Wildcat: Oh. Are you trained in the arts of keying people?
Santilli: Keying people. Yeah. I key people.
Wildcat: That would be a rough wound, getting a key mark across the cheek.
Santilli: Probably.
Wildcat: Where you coming from?
Santilli: Spanish class. Two hours of Spanish.
Wildcat: So · let's see · ÀDe d—nde eres?
Santilli: Soy de Scottsdale.
Wildcat: Ah. Nac’ en Mesa.
Santilli: ÀEn Mesa?
Wildcat: S’.
Santilli: Bueno.
Wildcat: Do you know any other languages?
Santilli: Not really. English · A little bit of French.
Wildcat: You're so short. How tall are you?
Santilli: 5'4".
Wildcat: That's not too bad. Maybe I just have my tall shoes on today.
Santilli: Yeah. I got short shoes on.
