ANDY: Have you ever seen the extended cut of Empire Records?
ME: I don't think so.
ANDY: Did you know there's a whole subplot with one of the characters digging through stacks of 45s, searching for "Philosophy of the World" by
The Shaggs?
ME: Oh, wow! That's incredible!
ANDY: Yeah!
(pause)
ME: Actually, "Philosophy of the World" was never released on 45.
(pause)
ANDY: (Several minutes of uncontrollable, derisive laughter)
ME: Shit. I just showed my hand, didn't I?
ANDY: Dude... You just trumped a parody of obsessive record collectors!
