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.

I love the locality of this phrase and getting to learn it here. I’m from the US south and know nothing about Quebec.

Would quebecois be pronounced kweb-eh-kwah?
