Yessir!

Designed and made in California, sir.

The plan is to get Cardreader a job in a London pub…
undercover of course, ‘pounds’ instead of dollars...
CARD READER:
I’m fluent.

They’ll remain American.
[Show Card Reader’s screen saying “TIP?”, and the options “15%, 25%, 35%”]

Some will tip 35% out of embarrassment
Then some more…
Soon it’ll be normal…

No.

GENERAL:
They’ll be American.
