00:06 [WOMAN #1 and WOMAN #2 stand at a table. WOMAN #2 is writing.] WOMAN #2: All right, I need your help here. I'm trying to sell my tiny dump of a house, and I don't know what to call it.

00:12 WOMAN #1: A shack?

00:13 WOMAN #2: Well, that would be being honest.

01:15 WOMAN #1: Yes.

00:16 WOMAN #2: But nobody's going to buy a shack.

00:18 WOMAN #1: This is true.

00:18 WOMAN #2: I mean, if you saw an ad that said tiny shack for sale, would you go for it?

00:22 WOMAN #1: No, absolutely not.

00:22 WOMAN #2: Exactly. Shack's out.

00:25 WOMAN #1: Little house.

00:27 WOMAN #2: How about cottage?

00:29 WOMAN #1: Cottage works. I was going to say cabin?

00:31 WOMAN #2: Cabin . . . yeah. That says log cabin by the lake.

00:35 WOMAN #1: Yeah, that's true.

00:36 WOMAN #2: Is cottage kind of frumpy-sounding? I don't know. What do you think?

00:39 WOMAN #1: I feel like cottage would be in a fairy tale or something. I don't know. It just doesn't sound like an actual house.

00:44 WOMAN #2: Yeah. Well, I'm not really sure my house is actually a house. It's too small to be --

00:47 WOMAN #1: Bungalow! Bungalow!

00:49 WOMAN #2: Bungalow! Perfect.

00:51 WOMAN #1: Bungalow.

00:52 WOMAN #2: Bungalow. I love it.

00:54 WOMAN #1: Looks good there, too. [pointing to her paper]

00:55 WOMAN #2: I know. Bungalow for sale. People would be attracted to that.

00:58 WOMAN #1: Yeah. I mean, I would.

01:00 WOMAN #2: Hey, wanna buy my house?

01:01 WOMAN #1: No. Not your shack, no.
