Suggested correction: She said she would sharpen her pencil... to the "t."
You should watch the whole scene. She said she would sharpen it to the Ticondero, and then to the Ticond, and she keeps going until the "Ti" and "T" (where she pronounces the sound rather than the letter).
Ella: Did you ever try wearin' a suit?
Blake Barton: A suit?
Ella: A suit - s, u, t.
Ella: I'm in love with a man - Plaza Oh - Double four - Double Three. What a perfect relationship - I can't see him, he can't see me.
Jeffrey Moss: You know, if I hadn't found you crawling around on my floor, I wouldn't be invited anyplace. I'd just be resting comfortably, face down, in the gutter.
