JM Have you ever wore sunglasses indoors?
DG No. (laughs)
JM You're wearing them right now!

JM Wow, what are they?
DG Contact lenses. Actually I had an arc-welding accident I don't wanna talk about it.

JM How much is a pint of milk?
DG In America?
JM I suppose if you live there, yeah.
DG I think it'd be about a dollar five. I don't drink milk though.
TH But you wouldn't know because you'd make your personal assistant go get it for you.
DG Well I'd have my personal assistant go milk the cow I had imported from Spain.

JM When was the last time you used public transport?

TH Cab?
DG No, it's gotta be bus or subway.
