“You really got on your high horse about politics and the election the other day.”
PHILIP
“That’s interesting. My mother uses that phrase, I mean that ‘high horse’ phrase. OK, yes, I confess to intense political opinions.”
TONY
“Phil, that means you’ve gotta keep it inside your trousers, if you know what I mean.”
PHILIP
“So here, for what it’s worth, I still think Harper is toast. His last-minute pirouette on deciding to go to Copenhagen totally seals it. Cool.”
TONY
“Poor guy. Too bad, I hope he doesn’t go and off himself, if you know what I mean.”

“Hey Tony. What’s the scariest thing that ever happened to you?”
TONY
“Well maybe it’s not the scariest thing that ever happened, but I can tell you I was pretty scared.
“There was once when the ETF cops broke into a house I was inside, just minding my own businesss. Somebody — I don’t know who it was — went and called the cops that there was someone with a gun in the house and next thing you know the ETF is breaking down the door. And the next thing you know, there’s a cop who looks like a Jeddi Knight or something pointing a big gun at me and he says to me that I should put my hands up which I do right away. So I put my hands up real, real high and he says to walk toward him nice and slow. I would’ve’ walked on my knees if he wanted but he says I should just do what he asked. I told him he wouldn’t get any trouble from me and I would’ve been happy to crawl down on the floor to him if he wante.
“Well, I just about did you-know-what right there, right in my pants.
“Those ETF guys don’t fool around — you could be dead in a second. And I was just watching some cartoon on the video, I think it was Madagascar or something. I remember the whole thing like it was yesterday and I didn’t know anything about the gun or anything. I’m pretty sure that he guy who had the gun was drunk, he wasn’t really going to shoot his wife — at least I don’t think so, but ‘course you never know, that’s for sure. I was pretty lucky or I’d be in a wooden box, if you know what I mean.”

“Check out these trousers. You like ’em? They’re from when bell-bottoms were ultra-cool.”
PHILIP
“Tony, I must confess, I am utterly awestruck. They’re so new, yet so retro. So casual, yet so fashionable … ”
TONY
“Hey, just for your information, I’m not allowing any jokes about my pants until tomorrow.”
