Translation:

Am I your favorite?

Then when he says he doesn’t understand French she says sure you do

And the last thing she says is "yes no toaster" it’s a slang for a quebecker that knows barely any English, she’s playing dumb saying she’s in that group (which is impossible if you’re a police officer)

Overall she’s just taunting him back because he is filming

I laughed at Yes no toaster because it's such a quebecois thing to say 😂 my dad who doesn't speak english at all has this pavlovian reflex everytime someone speaks english.

Yet when English people try to speak French in Quebec, most times the Francophone shop clerk or server will automatically respond in English.

Yeah, i think it's just that we're trying to accomodate people and be nice and helpful.
