[Ricky Schrodinger's Cat 30]

Holy shit.

[Quasar Sniffer 4174]

He sounds like a character in a movie set in New York in the 1970s. That story he tells of him and Joe Pantoliano getting into an argument with the AD on Eddie and the Cruisers about who would carry their luggage sounds like a scene from that time as well. Or like a Tony Soprano origin story.

 

"I don't carry luggage."

"I ain't asking ya ta carry my luggage!"

"Then what the fuck we standin' around here for?"

"I still gotta GET my bags, ya frickin' mamaluke!"

"Ah!"

"Heyyyyy!"
