(To self) Now, I'm bummed. I meet a nice girl and I have to blow it with my bad jokes. (Out loud) Hey, chicas, girls, bros, whatever you may be, wait up! Okay, okay, I know my jokes were gross. They can get worse, believe me. But look, I'm a decent sort of guy. I don't belong to a drug cartel and my parents weren't wetbacks. They were scratch backs. They didn't swim the damned river, they went under the fence. Okay, okay, that was a bad joke, too. Hey, I belong to the Catholic Church and carry a picture of the Virgin Guadalupe in my wallet. And I haven't been eating MacDonald's. That table over there with about sixteen kids chowing down on enchiladas and chili rejanos, that's my family. Now, you know. What do you think of one legged foot massage?

Haylee, I'm really not in the mood to be your "excuse" to move on. And I don't like feeling like my family and their dishes are some sort of attraction. We are a part of the neighborhood, like everyone else...okay maybe not like everyone else, Nobody in my family looks like John Leguisamo and makes retarded jokes, but I am tired, If you must know my mother brought regular old midwestern frog eye salad. Now if you will excuse me I must go and find someone.

(To self) As I watch Ming walk away I am tempted to throw some sarcastic insult at her, but I think instead I will follow and see who she is seeking out. This potluck is boring anyway and she at least is interesting. I wonder...Is she Japanese? Korean? I really can't tell...medical school....hmmmm.

Oh, I get it. The good ole "they all look alike" business. Would it help if I told you my Uncle Giroberto, who I was named after, looks just like Don Belushi?

Genghis Khan was a smart man. He turned the Mongols from a small group of goat herders into a disciplined fighting force. He was on the brink of world domination in just one lifetime.
You talk about young people being uneducated as if it was a bad thing. Some scholars believed that young people were not meant to think. They're meant to obey. To be trained.

That is so true. Like, when I was was 17? I was really dumb. I was just into partying and doing stupid stuff. Now though, I think I take life more seriously?

(muttering to self) Who am I trying to kid? Since when does a second year medical student take any interest in a journeyman framer. What could I say to her? Hey, Jesus was a carpenter, so I'm the next best thing? That would go over like putting a crack head in charge of yoga meditations. Fuck it. Stick to your own kind.
(jovially, out loud) Hickory Bob's the name, and smokin's the game. When it comes to partying, i'll smoke your ass and flip it and smoke your grass and clip it. Actually, you can just call me Bob. Short for Giroberto. I wouldn't want you to tie your tongue up in pieces over the handle.

Hah-hah. O yeah, in college I used to mow grass. Two hits and I was gone. "Last dance with Mary jane, one more time to kill the pain..."

From your slant, Christian, I take it you advocate a youthful militia. My policies aren't pro-war, although I can see your point of view. It's far easier to turn a non-thinking population into cannon fodder. As far as Genghis Khan goes, he destroyed the art and beauty of a civilized nation. What did he leave behind, what principle, what noble enterprise to replace this desolation. I've walked the Great Wall of China and it saddens me; saddens me terribly to think about the history.

Are you happy now, Ellis? None of the young people want to stick around because of your negative attitudes. You should speak more kindly toward them instead of calling them cannon fodder. What kind of thing is that for you to say about our brave troops dying for us in Korea?

(To Shelly) This party flat lined like a cardiac arrest. Wanna catch up with my buds? They're hanging the sound stage together for this evening's concert. We couldn't get Metalica, but we've got our own town's Metal Monkey's. I'm down with it.

(To Self) Fuck! I don't know why I let people get under my skin that way...Stupid Mrs Whitey or whatever June Cleaver's name is missed the point entirely anyway, like I give a shit about what Fucking Ellis says..She sure has a way of glossing over all of what might be ugly, even herself... But I should have learned by now to stay out of the freaking coversation.... I wonder what they would say about me if they knew my family is really Tawaiinese? I shouldn't have picked on Legusamo's stand in though...that was just mean, and he was kinda interesting...oh but look of course, he's attaching to bobble-head Shelly. (Sitting down on blanket) I guess I'll just sit here and crowd watch like always until Lily is done socializing.

Well, Donna, I should imagine the young people would find an old coot like me boring. I don't exactly belong to the video game generation. I couldn't tell you what kind of music they listen to these days and I haven't considered the impact of Braille in fast food diners, so I'm really at a loss as to what I would talk about with them. I don't imagine any of them have signed the voluntary list for cleaning up Jewel Lake Park, and I set the table up right next to the stage. Now, I have to ask you a question. Whatever made you think we are at war with Korea?
