All of the characters Sarah Jones portrayed were supposed to be regarded as everyday women inexperienced at providing public speeches to huge audiences. The delivery of each character, while distinct, provided a case-in-study of the "we aren't all that different from one another" school of thought. I feel that her performance, inclusive of the "like's," "um's," and "you know's," brought this message home succinctly during her brief time on stage. Ms. Jones is exquisitely brilliant.
