Shawn Morrison: Can you take care of my goat while I'm away?
Me: Where are you going? And what does it eat?
Shawn Morrison: Garbage, just like the children's stories.
Shawn Morrison: Any garbage.
Shawn Morrison: Actually I'm not going anywhere, just trying to get rid of this damn goat.
Shawn Morrison: What a bad purchase that was.
Me: Yeah, well, don't try to pan him off on me.
Me: Wait... pan?
Me: Is that right?
Shawn Morrison: No.
Shawn Morrison: Pawn.
Me: Pawn.
Me: haha
Me: STOP PANNING THINGS ON ME, SHAWN.
Shawn Morrison: Also, the goat farts a lot.
Shawn Morrison: I think it's sick.
Shawn Morrison: Yours for only $5.
Shawn Morrison: You won't see goat prices like this anywhere else.
Me: What about at the goat market in red hook?
Shawn Morrison: You'd be surprised how hard it is to sell a farting goat.
Me: Actually, I wouldn't.

Sean Madden: Dude, why are you so heavy in the left channel in your review?
Me: Because I was holding the camera in my right hand and not being careful about being centered and because my apartment is sinking into the ground on the left side and I think partly I should be blaming global warming for that but I can't really back it up with evidence and also I only talk out of the left side of my mouth whenever I'm sitting at the coffee table in my living room.
Sean Madden: Breathe.

Sean Madden: I saw WALL-E and for some reason didn't come away as impressed as you did.
Me: That's because you're a douche.
Me: And you don't understand the subtle awesomeness of awesome things.
VERY LONG PAUSE, THEN:
Me: But you enjoyed it, i assume?
Me: (I was sort of hoping for a minute there we would never talk again, ever, and that would just be it. Like that moment at the end of Good Will Hunting when Ben Affleck goes to pick up Matt Damon but he's gone and Ben Affleck is like, "What, where is he? Oh, right, I told him to leave me behind... wait... stare straight forward for a minute and then make a little crooked smile and then get in your jalopy... wait for it... PERFECT!")
VERY LONG PAUSE, THEN:
Me: Will?
Sean Madden: Fuck you. How do you like them apples?

Me: Man, I could really go for some peppercorn yogurt right now.
Sean Madden: I'm telling you, that one would sell.
Sean Madden: Like hotcakes.
Sean Madden: But it would compete with our hotcake flavor.
