Yes Pedro yes. Children’s movies bring out the drinker in all the kiddies. You should smell the booze wreaking from those little buggers pores when they do those reading programs. You’re a rocket scientist I bet. Hey, you may want to apply for one of Rex’s commissions. You’ve got what it takes for sure.

It’ll be DUI central after this shindig let’s out. Dollars to donuts there’ll be several TCs, which will be hit and runs
