=====================================================
[Here's most of what I think the English
 spoken during the intro is:]
 
"Ee - ee! Watch this y'all!"
 
[Then Stevie tries to impress the girl by pretending that he can speak Spanish, but it's just improvised
 gibberish. The only real Spanish being the refrain'Todo está bien chévere', meaning 'Everything's cool']
 
"See here, mama, er... you understand that?"
 
"No!"
 
"Well, er...like, I can understand how you can't,
'cause I got me, ...you know, Paris, Peru... you know,
I mean, er... Iraq, Iran, Eurasia, you know?
I speak very, very, um...fluent Spanish.
Er...'Todo está bien chévere'"
 
"Can you say that again...'chevere'?"
 
"Chévere!"
 
"Bien...?"
 
"...Chévere!  Is that right, mama?
Yeah, 'cause I got my shaker moving a little bit"
