“I saw that they’re calling for rain for two days starting Wednesday morning.”
TONY
“Oh boy, well it gets me shivering just thinking about it. You know, it’s sometimes just better just to have it snow even when it’s cold too. It looks nicer, that’s one thing that’s for sure.”

“Have you been keeping up with the revolutions in Egypt and Libya and all that’s going on?”

PHILIP
“How goes?”
TONY
“Just to tell you frankly, Phil, I’m feeling like hell, if you know what I mean.”
PHILIP
“Don’t worry, I believe you. What happened?”
TONY
“That’s my birthday for you, I’ll tell you. Folks came by and gave three cakes, one of those pies and I also got this bottle of wine too. So you know what the worst part is? The worst part of it is, you know, I don’t even drink normally, but I went and drank that one and I don’t remember anything about the last night or anything. My headjust feels like I got a whole road crew inside it. Thank God that girl had some Advils for me.”

“I was watching on the TV about Egypt last night. The one thing those dictators better learn quick is how to use the Internet if they want to keep their power. They’re falling like flies right now, that’s for sure.”
