TSL: Is that even real?
Drew: What?
TSL: Your tattoo.
Drew: Yeah, its real. Dont you have a tape recorder for this interview?
TSL: No, I have to write it as we go.
Drew: Ok.
TSL: So, is that religious?
Drew: Sort of. Yeah.
TSL: Which one?
Drew: Which tattoo?
TSL: Which religion.
Drew: The right one. The nipple is right, too.
TSL: This interview isnt going too well. Lets start it over.
Drew: Ok.
TSL: Is that real?
Drew: What, the nipple or the tattoo?
TSL: The tattoo.
Drew: Yeah. I got it in Juvee.
TSL: Tell me about Juvee.
Drew: There were a lot of kids.
TSL: Can you think of something funnier to say?
Drew: No, I cant.
TSL: Well alright.
Drew: Ask me how I got the tat.
TSL: Howd you get the tattoo?
Drew: We were playing cards and I won. I earned it. If I lost I would have had to get a dolphin on my ankle. Or a Chinese symbol.
TSL: Were they of the dolphin faith?
Drew: What?
TSL: Is that real?
Drew: The nipple or the tat?
TSL: Tat.
Drew: Yeah. I got it in Juvee.
TSL: This is like a Beckett play.
Drew: Thats what Im going for.
TSL: Ever considered a Samuel Beckett-based tattoo?
Drew: With his nipple?
TSL: What are you talking about?
Drew: I want a full-color Ghostbusters movie poster on my back.
TSL: Where are you from?
Drew: Long Beach. The LBC!
TSL: You sure are.
Drew: I got it in Juvee.
TSL: I wonder how this interview is going to turn out?
Drew: I got it in juvee.
TSL: What did you do to land in Juvee?
Drew: Ah, shit. Ok, forget it. I paid some guy $40 and said "make it look like I got this in juvee." He fucked up the bottom of it.
TSL: Say another bad word.
Drew: Dork.
TSL: A worse one.
Drew: Asshole. No, jackass. I want jackass.
TSL: Any final thoughts, juvenile?
Drew: Dont write this down but, hey, youre writing this down. Ok. If you are a poser, and you pay a guy to make a tattoo that looks like you got it in juvee, it looks like you got it in juvee. Thats the moral I guess.
TSL: Anything else?
Drew: Shit. I mean ass.
