Hello, everyone,

I'm having a hard time figuring out what were the sentence said at 00:53, 01:33 and 02:37 in the video:

They're spoken in British accent, which I'm really not accustomed to.

Could anyone please help me by writing out these 3 sentences?

Thanks a lot.

0:53 "Can't the runner chop these as well?"

1:33 "Oh this is an absolutely lovely dining room Barry. Yes you've kept this well hidden away."

2:37: "Oh I don't understand."

I hope this helps!

Thank you! But I wonder what 'runner' refers to in the first sentence.

I'm not sure if it is referenced somewhere earlier in the episode, but a 'runner' is somebody who works in event production or on film sets etc. running around and getting things done or bringing things from one place to another.

The 'runner' is an assistant; someone who runs errands.

A few seconds later he says, 'I only did that one. She did the rest.' She is the runner.
