Quotes

BEN: There is something really diabolical of sending just sending a stranger presents.

GRIFFIN: Oh yeah.

BEN: Like if someone sent me a present, but then it was something that was really tailored for me. I'd be so freaked out. Like a Gummo hat. Or a bone hat. Or a bone. Just the bone. Like I would be like, "Fuck! They know!"
