Union @ Fillmore
"My God, man. I saw some big people in Green Bay. I mean big. You ever been to Green Bay?" "No." "My God. I saw one woman, six hundred pounds, I swear. And when people get that big, man, it's hard to tell if they are man or woman, you know? Just big." "Yeah, it's amazing how big people are in America. Whenever I'm out of the country, it's just striking how much thinner people are. I was in India a couple of years ago--" "--India, man. I don't know how those countries even feed all those people. Where do they get all the rice for China, you know?" "Yeah, but people in India were just thin." "It's the burritos, man. Everyone here likes their burritos. Extra beans. Super. Look at that guy over there. His head's so big you don't even see the neck. Oh, I bet he's had a burrito today. If not, he's one his way. Hey, man, extra beans! That's right, extra beans!"

"It's owner couldn't pull him away from it, either. The owner looked so humiliated."
The Embarcadero
"No, he's grasping at straws. If he didn't smoke so much pot... No, I've never seen someone smoke so much pot. He's smoked so much he should be dead. No, You tell him if he doesn't pay the rent, I'll sue him. I'm tired of paying his share. You know, we're buying pot by default because we pay his rent."

Market @ California
"No, I got Famous Wayne to shine my shoes. And he shines one bad ass, mother fucking shoe. What? I don't know why he's famous. That's just what he calls himself. What? He can call himself whatever he wants, that doesn't mean he's famous. I know that. But maybe he saved someone's life or something."

"He kind of came out to himself when he came out to me. Then I came out to him. I said I think you love people for who they are, not their gender." "That's so sweet." "I never thought I could make love to a guy. And he never thought he could make love to a woman. It was truly moving."

"There's just too many cats. I mean, look at all the cat poop out there." "It's not as much as dog poop." "No, that's just not accurate. You're seeing cat poop but thinking it's dog poop. Don't get me wrong, I'm not for the mass killing of cats, but I wouldn't be opposed to it, really."
