I think as a 15 year old I could’ve had as hard a time as Metz did there. I mean, not if it were a normal conversation, then I would be far more curious about the questions being brought up, but if it was a first connection and I was trying to build a relationship and interview someone for information in a high-stakes situation, then I can imagine me being very confused and just trying to placate (and at that age I may have given a false pretense of understanding my interlocutor).
Yet from my current position everything Vassar said was quite straightforward (though the annotations were helpful).
That interview is hysterically funny.
