She couldnt have been more gracious, and stunning, and tall.
Just her presence was astounding.
So, I go, Im gonna take my pants off.

Sometimes I say the wrong thing.
She just [goes], Oh, youre naughty.
Crystal continued, So, now the movies playing beautifully and we get to the famous fake orgasm scene.
And everybody knew about it, but I dont think she did.
And she starts laughing this incredibly guttural sound that was like, he said, mimicking the throaty laugh.
Over and over, couldnt catch her breath.
Just because the laugh was just I cant.
Shes beautiful, shes a princess, guys, but the laugh.
You know what I mean.
To prove her point, Sally loudly and convincingly fakes climax in the middle of the lunch rush.
