9: Oh, man, that set kicked ass! I love the Agents!
B: They were good. But the Toasters are coming up next, man.
9: Oh yes, that's gonna kick so much ass. I love them. Have you seen them before?
B: A couple times. I saw them in Manhattan in '94 playing with Mustard Plug, Inspecter 7, and Mephiskapheles.
9: Oh my God, that must have been amazing!
B: Yeah. Well, I talked with the band after the last show, and I told them that when they play "Talk Is Cheap" this year-- you know the song right?
9: Yeah. Off "Ska-Boom", right?
B: Yeah. Well they had the line, "This is '87, not '63," and when they were playing in 1994, they sang "This ain't nineteen-hundred sixty-three", which scans, but it's kinda lame. I told 'em that they ought to sing "97" instead of "87" so it scans, and they all smacked their own foreheads and gave me one of their beers.
9: Shit! I hope they do it, man.
B: Me too.
9: I'm here with a bunch of friends, and a lot of them haven't seen them live before. It's gonna fuckin' blow their mi-- Whoa! Check out that girl! She looks good. Good enough to eat.
B: I saw her during the Agents' set; she was making kissy faces at everyone and batting her eyelashses. Everyone around her was skanking and she was dancing like she was listening to the... I don't know, the "Romeo and Juliet" soundtrack or something.
9: Shit, really?
B: Yeah, really strange.
9: But she's hot, man.
B: Oh yeah.
9: Mmmm. Oh, hey, let me introduce you to my friends.
B: I'll never remember their names.
9: Sure. Here, this is __10__, __11__, __12__, Louise, and __13__.
B: Aaah! Too many names!
9: __10__, __11__, __12__, Louise, and __13__. Okay, got it?
B: Hi. __10__? Brian. Louise, right? Cool. __13__?
12: No, I'm __12__.
B: Sorry. You're __13__. And you must be...
11: __11__.
B: Right.
