Talking about how Nick and PeeCee’s mother Madhu Chopra spoke for the first time, she said, "When Nick was coming down the first time, I was a little like, 'Oh, man...' Both my mom and Nick speak at this decibel (inaudible murmur), so anyone around them is like, 'Huh? Sorry what?' When they were speaking to each other when they met, I was like, 'Are they even going to understand each other? Because, I don't understand the conversation."
