Ranger Buddy likes to wear singlets to work (In his youth, they called them singlets, not wifebeaters, okay?) Anyway, he's been teased about it at Lit class because, you know, Marlon Brando wore a wifebeater in Streetcar (Rrrrawl!).
Anyway, yesterday, at the store, the female cashier was checking RB out. Her little badge said her name was "Stella."
RB handed over the money and said, "Stella, hmm...Streetcar Named Desire, right?"
Stella: ***giggle giggle*** Yes, how did you know?
RB (in his best Brando, also known as New Joysey, snarl): Here's your plantation right here, Stella! Stellaaaaa!
Stella: ***giggle giggle***
RB beamed, turned to me and bobbed his head up and down like he had done something impressive. He'd used up two quotes this week already, the other one was when he was locked out from his truck and his teacher had lent him her cellphone. RB had said, "I've always depended on the kindness of strangers."
Me, next in line, rolling my eyes, in a bored tone: Thousands of years have passed him right by, and here is Stanley Kowalski, bearing the raw meat home from the kill in the jungle.
I smirked back him. I'm sure I misquoted, but hey, it's been a long while since I saw the movie, 'kay. RB snarled.
Stella: ***eyes wide, not sure now what she was dealing with***
Just two dirty and sweaty roofers, my dear, who are too damn competitive for their own good. RB's lucky I'm not crazy enough to go to Spain with him to run with the bulls. I don't think he and I would survive trying to outdo each other while trying to run with a herd of 2000 lb animals with sharp horns.

Well, Streetcar must have left some impression on him if he can quote it. :) But ah, that is soooo cute and sweet... and I think I'll stop before I get into trouble with RB. LOL I hope he has a blast (and stays away from horns) in Spain.
