I love how defiant he was about it, how unforced it was. It wasn't exactly in response to a question. He's like "Guess what?! Uhh...uhhh....um..."
Yeah, but screw education, that part he remembered.
When I was growing up, my mom was insanely overprotective about me crossing the street, and I used to watch a lot as my friends from the neighborhood would play "Army" across the street, fantasizing about how fun it would be to join them, if only my mom could loosen up a little.
Twenty-six years later, I'm reminded again that my parents had it right.
That reminds me, by the way, of a time I was in this same library (in Chicago), right after I'd first moved to the city. I was at this same computer, and I heard a sound I never heard before, but it was unmistakeable. I could hear a stream of urine hitting the carpet, and I'll never forget how composed the librarian was. "Sir, would you PLEASE finish that in the bathroom?!" she said, sternly. First of all, "sir", to a guy pissing in your library. Second of all, "please". And finally, inviting him to finish his business right there in her establishment. #classylibrariangum
I don't know. People change, and maybe he's getting work right now and he's happy with himself, and I hope so. But then one day, oops I'm old and don't feel this way anymore and my appearance has alienated the whole nursing home. I don't know.
First of all, jump in the trash can, you've ruined your body. Second of all, I've always wondered - you love getting tattoos and then one day you're all out of room. Now what?
“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching and you're on LCD and bad at dancing,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”

Did I just dream that there were such things as tranquilizer guns? Those are real things, right? I've been on medication lately, but I swear those things are real and maybe could have been used.
R2D2, Esq. is exactly right. This is precisely the kind of role he lampooned himself playing in "Funny People" that was supposedly "in his past". This makes "Norbit" look like "The Apartment" (swoosh).
