VIDEO ➤➤➤ UN: OIL CHANGE

[ Nacho's face appears on video. He looks stressed. That's not really unusual. He often looks stressed!

What is unusual is the specific way that he looks stressed right now. It's hard to tell because the shift isn't drastic, and his skin is on the tanner side anyway, but if you closely you can see that he's... maybe blushing? A little?

He rubs a hand over the back of his shaved neck and takes a deep breath. He looks away, momentarily, from the screen. Then back. ]


Sooooo.... [ Shit. ] Hey. Uh. There's, like, a lot of kids and shit here, right? Teenagers? People who didn't go to normal school? [ He swallows. ] Wait. Hang on. I didn't mean to swear in front of... uh... in front of all the kids.

[ Nacho pauses. Tries to think about how he wants to word this. He switches tactics. Blunt is better for this. No sense beating around the bush. ]

Hey. Listen up.

I know this might not be a good time for it, but I'm not sure there's gonna ever be, and if you ask me, a lot of you need to hear it. If I don't say it now, I don't think I'm gonna, and some of you really, really should not be parents.

You feel me?

[ He hesitates. Even longer. He can't believe he's doing this. But he has become Concerned (TM). ]

You're all officially enrolled in Nacho Varga School of Sex Ed.

First thing, don't have sex. Don't have sex in the missionary position. Don't have sex standing up. Just... don't have sex. You're gonna get pregnant. And die.

But, if you have sex, wear a condom. If you don't know what a condom is because they don't have anything like that where you're from, it's like a little bag that goes over your [ he whistles, and makes a vulgar hand gesture that a lot of people would probably be able to peg as a symbol for 'boner' ]. It helps make it so you don't have kids. And if you don't know what a condom is because you're too young, then you shouldn't even be listening to this.

Next. You gotta get consent. That means you can't just do things without asking. Not unless you wanna get knifed. Do you wanna get knifed? [ Silence; slightly intimidating, knowing look into the camera. ] Yeah, that's what I thought.

Okay. Last thing. Never go ass to mouth. That's how you get diseases. And die. Just don't do it.

That's, uh, yeah. That's it, I think. Peace.

[ There's one final vision of Nacho's bright-red face, and then the screen goes completely dark. ]

Sure, by your standards I guess three words could be considered elaborate.

It's more exclusive. You have to pass a test and everything. [ Eventually. ]

[ 👉😎👉 ]

Okay. Say you're making a...sign. For an inn. Only so many words you can cram on there, right? You gotta make em count. Obviously you want the name of the inn, but maybe a little something extra to pique people's interest. Spark their imaginations. So you ask yourself, what do people respond to?

Flash! Pizzazz! But also authority, right, and maybe a hint of mystery to keep things interesting.

But Jimmy, you're saying, how could someone possibly combine all those in a teeny tiny space? Well, it can be done! What you're gonna do is QUOTE a figure of authority saying something juicy. And, you know, for the mystery element, maybe you get ever so slightly creative with the context.

It's a quote that pulls in people's attention. Hence: pull quote.

I feel so bad with my two-word responses to beautiful tags

Words of controversy.

[ Difficult to dispute since he literally used that word... ] Provocative turns of phrase!

Calumny, controversy and scandal.
