* On an episode of [[The IT Crowd]], one of Jen's lies was being fluent in italian. Subtitles of her mumblings showed that she'd be saying things like "I like the smell of my cat" and "spiders" but this wasn't a problem because Moss got her an instant translation program on her laptop, allowing her to cover her lies and pass off as fluent over conference calls, even impressing an italian business mogul (she was ''very'' good at ''pretending'', if not at actually understanding). Things go south quickly when Douglas forbids her to bring her laptop to the first face to face meeting with the italian man and her improvised italian is so awful that no subtitles are even needed to see that she's just speaking english words with a pseudo-italian tone and intonation. |
