Guy and girl, browsing the paperback new releases. Guy is holding a copy of Jeff MacGregor's NASCAR book, Sunday Money, and discussing the potential audience for the book.

Guy: "Writing a book about NASCAR is like....is like...is like...is like...is like...is like...is like...you know what I mean..."
Girl: "Yeah, of course."
