Notable quotes
“Well, I have been – I installed Shaker Motor on Walking Dead. I did that a couple days ago.”
“Pinball apparently doesn't believe in trash week, Tony. Pinball believes in every week is precious.”
“The theme. The theme. And I guess he's got some books. The name is bad.”
“I don't think it sells 100 units.”
“dialed in is Jersey Jack's best game. And it's probably their worst seller.”
“That is a traditional Italian bottom layout, in fact.”
“I'm sure I'm confident there were massive down periods or waiting for things to get made and manufactured.”
“Every mechanical thing that he thought played best is there. So you might go and say, oh, like I might say, what about putting in a very target like Silver Slugger?”
