Yeah, it was never weird for your parents? They take you in, you're -- gay -- but they're like, Antebellum plantation owners. Must've been an adjustment. Nice to know unconditional love has survived across the decades.

( He can't help it. The attitude. His whole schtick. The way he talks. He just likes it. )
Go. Mix all the ology. And um - I'll take a beer if you get the chance. And, I'll be right here.
