Popularity rank 81 #364. Changing the order

April 14, 2010

DAN: John, you can't change people's orders, dude.
JOHN: They'll appreciate the changes when it's done.

DAN: But... the customer is always right.
JOHN: Screw that. My idea is BETTER.

JOHN: I change what I want, when I want, if it'll improve the piece. I run my life like I run our band.
DAN: Yeah...

DAN: ...our band's not very SUCCESSFUL though.
JOHN: The new rule is: the customer is NOT always right, and is usually an IDIOT.

Popularity rank 82 #228. Everyone is a Ghostbuster

April 7, 2009

JOHN: I think you can break down any group of people into Ghostbusters roles.

JOHN: Like with our band: Roni's our Igon, the technical genius. You're our Ray, the heart. Christina's our Winston, the workmanlike outsider.

JOHN: And I'm Peter Venkman, the charming leader who gets the chicks and saves the day.
DAN: That's cool.

DAN: That club owner last night was, like, our Vigo...
JOHN: No, he was our Zuul. Vigo's from 2. Vigo's not canon.
