Notable quotes
“If I were going to stand there, my crotch would be touching the pinball machine, I think, based on where that wall is.”
“40 effing million! And then karaoke was starting.”
“I was too socially anxious. I did not want to try and get in that space.”
“Just find any queer or raging homos, Venmo and send us a direct subsidy. You too can contribute.”
“Would we all agree that the code is also unplayable? It is.”
“It's kind of like either the mail bathroom urinal problem or any stall bathroom where the door just reaches the toilet and you're like, well, wait, how am I supposed to get in there or out of this thing?”
