Oh Kemi, look, quick, behind you! Another one sneaking across! 🤣

@Geri

It does sort of make sense if she simply doesn't think Cruella has any credibility.
OK, that would require a profound lack of self-awareness, but this is Kemi we are talking about.

@Geri Kemi, Kemi, Kemi, you never ever make a statement like that. In comedy it's called "The bicycle gag." The character says "I'll never ever ride that bicycle." Cut to new scene - the character is riding the bicycle.
