In this episode, novel prospectives and novelties include: terms that don't translate from French into English, honorifics, "we" with you versus "we" without you, differences in the musical adaptation, Waterloo teeth, 8964, and my favorite musical that I haven't seen. Question of the day: If you speak a language that has terms that don't translate to English (like vous versus tu) please share them with me!
