Popularity rank 6 #336. My boss is still pissed

January 13, 2010

JOHN: My settlement money got cut off, Dan. Hook me up with a GIG. Something EASY. No collating.
DAN: I dunno, my boss is still pissed at you.

JOHN: What, because I double-parked him in that one time? C'mon!
DAN: But... his daughter was in LABOR, man. He missed the birth of his grandson.

JOHN: I've SEEN his daughter, Dan. BELIEVE me. He'll GET more grandkids.
DAN: Heh, YEAH…

DAN: Wait, what does that MEAN?
JOHN: It means I'll see to it PERSONALLY if I have to, Dan! Just let me talk to the guy!

Popularity rank 8 #25. Keeping the branding consistent

May 31, 2005

JOHN: We do so! We're an alt-blues five-piece that plays radio-friendly rock with a garage sensibility.
RONI: John, none of those words even-... wait, there's only four of us, idiot.

JOHN: Yes, but we project the image of a five-piece, Roni.
RONI: Sweet Lord, you're an idiot.
DAN: I could just take this off and wear my undershirt.

JOHN: Dan, Dan, Dan... (sigh) You've got so much to learn about the industry.
RONI: You're an idiot with a dumbass sensibility.
DAN: Ooo, John, two words: neck scarf.

Popularity rank 9 #16. First time at North 6th

March 29, 2005

JOHN: Wow... our first show at North 6th! Man, this rules.
DAN: Hey look! Someone's scalping tickets!

JOHN: Hey man, how much are these going for?
BEN: I dunno, at this point, I guess like $3 each.

BEN: They're been kinda hard to unload. People just don't wanna pay to see one good band and one crappy little local band.

JOHN: Hey... we are that crappy little local band, man.
BEN: OK... well, I could knock it down to $4 for both, but that's about it...

Popularity rank 10 #370. Free of the shackles

April 28, 2010

DAN: You happy to be free of the shackles of the dayjob?
JOHN: Oh yeah, man.

JOHN: And my settlement checks are even bigger than they were before, so I'm gonna donate some stuff to one of them starving African orphan kids.

JOHN: They say they need the essentials, so I'm thinking some Beatles CDs, some Stones, maybe early Bowie...

DAN: What about... FOOD?
JOHN: Um... sure, I could eat.
