[Three guys sitting around the living room, watching television]
Kyle: Okay Al, your turn: Name a bad Tom Hanks' movie.
Al: I didn't like Splash.
[Nat and Kyle look at each other in bemused amazement, then look back to Al]
Kyle: Uh, heh, it usually takes people a lot longer to come up with one.
Nat: Alright, here's a tougher one: Name something bad on the Arby's menu.
Al: On the Arby's menu? Hmmm...
Kyle: We were thinking Arby's holds the title for best fast-food around. Chuck worked there, ate the food every day, and he still eats it--and loves it. Big Montana--it's just a bun with a ton of roast beef--
Al: And the sauce--
Kyle: Yeah--the Arby's sauce--
Nat: Why do they even have ketchup? Everyone I know dips their fries in Arby's sauce.
Al: I don't like the Horsey sauce--
Nat: You don't?
Al: --but it's not a bad sauce. Just not for me. The market sandwiches are good.
Kyle: Their subs: Phenomenal.
Al: And I like how they do them curly fries.
Nat: So do you have one?
Al: ...I guess I'm not a fan of the Arby-Q
Kyle: But it's not bad.
Al: Yeah; I don't think it's bad -- I just don't like it.
Nat: Wow--this couldn't be more of a...it's like we're in a commercial. Now we just have to drive up to the Arby's window, have Al be the last one to order, and he'll say, "Arby-Q with extra Horsey sauce," and then we give him that, "You sure pulled one over on us...you son of a bitch!" look.
Al & Kyle: I'll go for some Arby's.
[Nat pretends like he's looking into the camera and gives that "You sure pulled one over on me" look]
