You could make anything sound unimpressive if you say it like that, though. You should take more pride in what you do! I mean, don't you think you're really good at what you do at the casino?
[Lina knows very well that she couldn't pull off the kinds of things Natalia does. she's got too terrible of a poker face and she's nowhere near clever enough—though she does pretend as well as she can.]
I have to assume that's where you learned how to make our conversations so fun.
