Amusements

Word on the Street

“Hey, are you Tony?”
An admiring fan who mis-heard the crowd chants at Battle of the Bands and tried to compliment Tobi's sweet bass skills.

“I really like the new Whit. Is that font Courier New?”
Scotty M offers a strange compliment and an incorrect guess.

“Let's get to work digging now, there's five spades over there, I want you to make sure it's flush against the wall.”
Zagami foreshadows Flip's mental breakdown after a tough loss at the Ben Zagami Invitational Poker Tournament. Zagami did not place.

“I definately don't want to take Zagami to the hood”
Banksy replies to Ben's ever-present chatter.
