You know Conor sniffed that guy out in one day. We had a stop up in… Toronto. We were in Toronto, then it was the next one.”

“By the next one he had figured that guy out and has there ever been, could you have nailed it any better? You know, not only is he a weasel, he looks exactly like a weasel, and it’s the perfectness of that guy. It’s incredible. I loved when he turns around and says ‘what… are you gonna do something?’”
