Lawrence came over to read the subtitles. Turns out when he said "hell yeah I can read French!" (my interpretation of a text message that said "yes" to my question of "can you read French?") he meant that he had only taken a year of French in school, and that was a long time ago.
E = me
L = Lawrence
E: So here's the script, just read the highlighted parts, kinda sexy, kinda serious.
L: Wait, let me read through it first
E: Dude, I thought you knew French.
L: I don't know it that well.
E: We'll do it line by line. So just practice that first line while I set up the voice over.
(a minute later)
E: Ready?
L: I guess.
And then we did it, with the only direction from me coming with "try to make it sound like you speak French."
How'd it turn out? Check out Week 7's "Post No Bills" and decide for yourself.

I was impressed by the French. However, since I don't know French, I'm not sure what that's worth.
Luckily, most people don't speak French - including me. As soon as a phrase sounded "Frenchy," we kept it.
It's also a good way to keep people from trying to make it too perfect. "It's fine, no one speaks French." Otherwise, these videos would take forever.
