I just liked that it was friendly and nice, just two friends that hang out in a weird world. I think that’s what was risky. It was boring and you couldn’t see where it would go. I mean, I could.

It is, in brief, a mask of the subsidized capitalism from which they extract profit and upon which their power is based.”
