"There's more dogs in that neighborhood than people. That place is wild. It's like the wilderness or something. I tell ya, I saw these two people walking there dogs, and the two things just tore into each other. The owners did nothing. Just stood there while the dogs clamped down on each other. At one point, one of the dogs grabbed the other by the neck, tossed it up into the air, and caught it in its mouth and just started shaking the Jesus right out of it. That's when one of the owners finally had enough. He began kicking the other dog, and let me tell you, the other owner wasn't too happy about that." "What the owner do?" "Oh, nothing. I mean, some words were exchanged, but everything went back to normal pretty fast."

"Where are we going for lunch?" "I don't know. Oasis Grill?" "No, fuck that place. Every time I ask them to make my Mediterranean wrap hot, they put like a dab of sauce on it." "You got to ask for extra-spicy." "No, man. Fuck that. When someone says spicy, it should just be spicy." "I think they look at you and try to figure out if you can take spicy or not." "What does that mean?" "Just what I said." "Are you saying I don't look like I can take spicy?" "I am saying that you are white and look spice-challenged." "What? What the fuck?" "I'm Indian. They look at me and know they can never put enough spice on. We Indians got the spice."
