““Damn it, don’t you have any decent music in this house? Be right back, I’m getting my iPod out of my truck.” “I keep a loaded shotgun under this couch, Toby, and I’m bringing it out if I hear Michael Bolton. And this isn’t a house. It’s a small tin can.” Toby grumbled. “Why the hate, dude? That man’s voice is beautiful. I’m telling you, if he showed up at my door singing a ballad, I’d give him anything he wanted without blinking an eye. My social security number, where I keep the hidden house key, the secret ending to The Crying Game, anything.” “If I pretend to be deaf, will it get me out of a continued discussion about whiny singers? And does my sister know about this sick obsession of yours? ’Cause I imagine the best thing about your taste in music is all the money you save on buying condoms.” “Fine. But I don’t want to hear your head-banging crap, so no music.””
