All right, piano man, tickle those ivories. Let's hit it.

All right. I remember you. And I'll admit I was a little curt.

But requesting "I Ran" from a serious musician is just... It's too far.

My Lord! Did you just say a serious musician?

I thought you looked familiar. Have I seen you in anything?

And I can see how you could then look down on me from all the way up there.

Can you, can you grab my keys?

Thank you for saving the day back there.

Well, you didn't really give me much of a choice.

It's pretty strange that we keep running into each other.

You (have) got to put that thing to your chin.

Yeah, it makes your head into an antenna.

I think it gives you cancer, but you find your car faster.

I mean, you don't live as long, but you get where you're going quicker, so it all evens out.
