I work in a colorful neighborhood.

Crackhead versus The Operator

[Gestures to jacket]

Hey, back in black – I like it.

Thanks.

Hey man, you know Van Dyke brown?

Never heard of them.

No man, it’s not like that. It’s a guy, he’s a painter, uses Van Dyke brown to paint the trees…

… I used to watch him on TV, you know.

You mean Bob Ross?

YEAH! Man, Bob Ross! Yeah! You know he’s dead?

Yeah. He died a few years ago.

Man, that guy was amazing… he could whip up a tree… he’s gone…

Wherever there’s a “happy little tree” I’m sure he lives on.

A “happy little tree”! Yeah man, yeah! And that natural brown afro, yeah!

[Walking away]

Hey man, you’re alright. If I ever see another guy in a      jacket and he doesn’t know who that guy is, I’m gonna fucking scalp him!

If you do not know who Bob Ross is, this is your first and only warning.
