"I need a pair of shorts. They're so hard to find. I saw a pair I liked last month, but I didn't buy them. Now, I'm regretting it. I know I'll never find a pair like that again. When you get to be my age, you just know when you're not going to find something you like. It's just par for the course. I like shorts, you know."

"It's only three blocks." "Three blocks!" "I'm sure it won't kill us to walk today."

"I said meet me at one o'clock on Monday." "No, you didn't." "Yes, I did. Monday at one o'clock." "I get it already." "No, you don't. You weren't there on Monday at one o'clock. What do I have to do to get your attention, light myself on fire?"

"Those are such lovely sunglasses." "Thank you so much." "Did you get them on sale?" "No, Gucci, as you know, never goes on sale. They were only nine-hundred, so I figured it wasn't that big of a deal." "Oh my God. Only nine-hundred? I paid twelve-hundred for mine." "That's not so bad. What's a couple hundred dollars?"

What the fuck's wrong with him?" "Nothing." "Where you from? Hey, where you from?" "Here." "You ain't from here. I'm from here. Born and fuckin' raised. San Fuckin' Francisco. What school you go to? Lincoln? Lowell? Where you from?" "It doesn't matter." "You're cool, dog. Come on, give it up. Give it up?" "I don't understand." "Give it up, man. Shake my fuckin' hand." "No." "What the fuck, man. What the fuckin' fuck?" "Don't touch me." "Fuck you, man. Fuckin' asshole. Where you from? Fuckin' Carolina? Get the fuck out of here. Fuckin' bitch. I'm from the 'hood and shit.

"I'll have the western burger and a French cream soda." "Trust me, you don't want the fucking cream soda." "Oh. Why?" "It's sick ass. It's like half a cup of half and half with half a cup of blueberry syrup. I tell all the customers to stay the fuck away from it. Just 'cause it's on the menu doesn't mean it should be." "Okay."

"Hey, Randy. Check out these socks." "No, Dad." "Why not? Don't you need socks?" "Let's go already." "What are you in such a rush for?" "I just want to go, all right." "You sure woke up on the wrong side of the bed."
