“I want to see female mechan⛦ics. We would love to see a female driver. We haven't gotten to that point just yet. But why not?

“Right now, we’ve still got the script. We’ve gone through quite a few differeඣnt iterations of it.

“We're still waiting for a new rewrite, and that's the whole process. But I was 🔜doing that throughout Christmas.

“It'🤡s exciting. I'm excited to꧟ get the next end of the script. I was talking to Brad last night about the characters that we have coming.”
