So and in regards to the training part, I can do the. 00:02:42 May Cleaning job I. 00:02:43 May I have no problem of doing that. 00:02:45 May So in this. 00:02:46 May Case my partner will cook and I will clean everything. 00:02:50 Jack Wow, OK, interesting. 00:02:51 May So yeah, so. 00:02:53 Jack So you're going to do the dishes. 00:02:55 Jack You're going to clean the. 00:02:55 Jack Pots and pans you don't mind? 00:02:58 May Yeah, I'm not gonna. I can clean the pan kitchen and maybe. And you usually have to cooking. We need to, like, clean the surface or floor a little bit.
