June : Here we go. You want to know my last name. Well, you're not going to pronounce it - no one can.
Griffin Mill : Try me.
June : Gudmundsdottir.
Griffin Mill : [saying it a few times, pronouncing it fairly accurately] Gudmundsdottir... Gudmundsdottir - - How's that?
June : Eh, very good!
Griffin Mill : Thanks. What do people usually say?
June : Oh, don't ask. Like, anything from Good Dog's Water to Goulash Wallop.
