"Are you fucking kidding?"
"What?"
"I said, 'Are you fucking kidding?'"
"Oh. No, or, ..about what?"
"45 bucks for a fucking eighth, you must be fucking kidding?"
"No, I guess I'm not, Jesus man, why you so hostile? Have some
chips. You can have next game."
"I don't want next game you fuck, I want to know where you get
off jacking the fucking price five bucks for no good fucking reason?"
"What?"
"Look put down the fucking controller and listen to me. I am not
paying one fucking dime more than 40, alright. There are a million
fucking guys like you out here you know, I could probably find one

"He's a realtor"
"What? Who's a fucking realtor?"
"The guy next door."
"Fuck! You are totally missing the fucking point here..."
"It's cause, man, we just got a PS2 and I'm totally fucking into
it. We're playing a whole season...it's totally challenging to hit

"I am in that game."
"What?"
"That game you are playing...I was in it"
"You mean, like in a dream, I was in John Elway Quaterback once,
it was horrible..."
"Okay...I was a fucking baseball player...I am a goddamn baseball
player..."
"No shit, what team?"
Moves to "Roster" area of the Video Game Control Menu faster
than he has done anything else.
"Toronto, and Anheim, but wait..."
"What's your name?"
"No I am not in that game but I was in the game."
"You lost me. Let her rip Phil."
"No I mean..."
"Look man it's 45 for you or Don Mattingly or Manny Lee, or Chili
Fucking Davis alright!"
"Davis?"
"Yeah, even Chili Davis, who is about to smoke Phil's next offering
