We're Covered In Ass Skin.
- Ed (Interviewer): You guys are of fair complexion like I am, how's the sun treating you so far?
- Sara: Well, we are trying to stay out of it. I put a lot of sunscreen lotion on.
- Tegan: It was funny, our assistant was like 'Here, take some of my cream its got 15 sunblock in it' or what ever, and I was just like 'No, you're gonna need to go find 100 sunblock.' Or something like that.
- Sara: I need a whole like body suit. I'm actually like head to toe in some sort of mosquito-
- Tegan: I put it under my clothes just in case. I don't want to get a sunburn because we have two days off and I intend on making fun of all the crew. You know all the dudes are gonna have big red lobster faces and I'm gonna make fun of them.
- Sara: We're just not accustom to heat in general. It's like the idea of being in heat and doing work is just not something that- in Canada when it's hot we take vacation. We're like France.
- Tegan: Our joke, like around our group has been that were all covered in, you know like the skin on your bum. Your bum never really gets a tan. Well, our whole bodies are covered in
- *air quotes*
- Tegan: that kind of skin because maybe we've had had a tan a couple times a year in our lives.
- Ed: I just think it's adorable that they say bum.
- Sara: *laughs* What do you say?
- Ed: I'm crass. I would just say ass.
- Tegan: Ass
- Sara: *laughs*
- Tegan: Okay. We're covered in ass skin.
- Ed: Or Donkey.
- Tegan: Donkey means bum?
- Ed: Yeah. Like ba-donk-a-donk.
- Sara: *understanding* Ohhhh yeah. yeah, yeah. I never knew what that meant. Oh gawd, we're so naive in Canada.
- Tegan: Yeah. Well, I'm covered in donkey skin. But that makes me seem like I can take the heat.
- Ed: It doesn't translate that same does it?
- Sara: No.
