here's a transcript of a conversation i had once.
in the parking lot of a pizzeria/convenient store. enter pre-shorn shin in his automobile. as he parks a homeless man with scraggly hair approaches. two employees see his approach.
"hey you! leave our customers alone!"
"naw man...he's my bro"
he puts his arm around pre-shorn shin and walks him to the door of the convenient store and turns and runs full speed away.
entering the building shin wonders what that was all about. after purchasing his packet of tobacco sticks he leaves again. as he exits the building enter homeless man again. putting his arm around pre-shorn shin he walks him to his car.
"so how's the car running now that i put that new engine in" he says loudly(so the employees can hear)
"um....it's running great. thanks"
as pre-shorn shin gets in his car, homeless bum squats between the door and escape.
"listen when i give you the signal you go this way" gesturing off behind him, "then i'll take off in that direction" pointing in the opposite direction.
seeing no flaw in this plan "ok...cool...listen i gotta go"
"they don't like me and my brother around here. i'm a vietnam vet. my brother was in world war II. he killed jews" he looks hard at shin to see his reaction.
"oh well..um..."
"see that guy over there? the one with the purple hair? i kicked his ass last night. he said my mother was a whore and vietnam vets can't fight."
"then he had it coming. listen i gotta get going."
at this point he begins murmuring about 'gooks'.
"ok...listen i gotta get going."
"whoa hey, you're chinese right? well then you know the difference between chinese and gooks"
"oh yeah, sure...listen i gotta go"
homeless bum violently grabs pre-shorn shin's arm and yells "NOBODY BETTER SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT BRUCE LEE!!"
"no way, bruce lee's the shit. listen i gotta...."
"NOW!"
he proceeds with the plan. so do i.
the end
