“This thing right here is an edgy sex-type thing: all po-mo and throwback, at once passionate and insincere. It creeps around downtown, goes underground in the financial district, resurfaces on Queen West, becomes a full-blown geyser in bars like this.

“You have to stop this. I don't want to lose you too. If you have to make a revolution, Make a small revolution.”
