The Writer is Tom Rivlin, the script Script Editor is JD Voyek, and the Fact Checker is Angela Reed. Have you ever listened to someone speaking a foreign language and thought "Wow they're speaking way faster than I do"? Well it's not all in your head because you don't understand what they're saying (It's also not because you just speak slower than average). Some languages really do tend to be spoken more quickly than others. And there might be a biological reason for it.
