If I say Scarlett Johansson's name when speaking Swedish, should I pronounce it in English?

So, what's the weapon guys?

Say it the way she would say it. Or that people would introduce her who are in the business over here. Which is the American way. That way you avoid any confusion concerning who you are talking about.

EDIT: Apparently she has Danish ancestry.

I drive out, but my windows are tinted.

You keep your car in the house? And what about when you have to leave the car to go in the store?

You could go out this year. The snow mounds would hide you from the road. If you could even find the sidewalk.
