Nabil affects a faux New York accent to go with his fading 501s and Tommy Hilfiger jacket, and says he is in love with "that tough girl on TV - Buffy...
...captain Liz Blase, who checks in before visiting the trainer. He speaks glowingly of the program’s progress and the “great experience” of having fun and learning at Harvard that he says trumps even competitive results. Resplendent in his protective jacket, Peter Brand is the happiest person you’ll ever see dressed like a bomb squad employee...
