This episode talks about not being sure, not being certain, and not being ready. Let’s get started.
Aida: When our bigwigs from the Cleveland office arrive next week, I think we’ll have a lot to show them.

Aida: I thought she was already done with it.
Dale: I think that she’s still tinkering with it because she isn’t 100 percent sure she’s worked out all of the bugs.
Aida: All right.
