PW: I think you have the wrong guy, I am Pharell Williams your sponsor for the race. But I am not a race car driver. However, I can look around and find someone.
RG: aw jeez sorry Pharrel, I am so desperate to find someone better than Pastor, he is a bad luck for us. Oh oh, can I have your autograph from you while you are here?
