But Jason, Mason, and the rest of the English, baby! cast really have done the same thing 100 times. They’ve made 100 episodes of the Ebaby! soap opera.

Mason:  Jason, man, I was cleaning the office the other day, and I kinda was checkin’ Ella out.

Jason:  Oh really?

Mason:  Yeah. I mean she was looking really good and I was just trying to start a conversation with her.

Jason:  You don’t say.

Mason:  But she was, like, weirded out, man. It’s like she could read my mind or something. I don’t know.

Jason:  Whoa. You know, man, I just got this weird feeling that we’ve sat on this couch and had a conversation like this like 100 times.

Mason:  Hmm.

Beren:  Actually, we have. This is the 100th episode of the English, baby! soap opera.

Dale:  We’ve taught some words 100 times. We’ve taught some grammar 100 times.

Jason:  And some mistakes we’ve made a few. We’ve had our share of evil twins and comas, but we’ve come through.

Marni & Ella: And we go on and on and on and on.

All:  One hundred soaps done on Ebaby! One hundred soaps done, my friends! One hundred soaps done, one hundred soaps done! Learning is so fun with one hundred soaps done on Ebaby!

Jason:  Yeah!
