Transcript

Hairy: I saw a cute girl outside the bank today. She looked nice.
Cueball: Oh no, not again. You are the worst judge of these things.
Hairy: But she was so sweet. Shy, but there was something in her eyes. A pain down in her soul, the same as the one down in mine.
Cueball: Mm hmm.
Hairy: The police light played through her mohawk like the sun setting through pine trees as she shoveled the third hooker into the trunk of the camry...
Cueball: Back up.

I've added some explanation. But the joke could be taken the other way. Cueball is judgemental on girls with mohawks (that shovel prostitutes into cars), maybe she is indeed a cute girl in pain. Now that's food for thought! --Pnariyoshi (talk) 14:33, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Does anybody know what the reference is to Joey Comeau's work? 98.166.43.28 23:04, 30 August 2013 (UTC)DBrak
