Quin­cy: »You know, a fri­end of mine is a co­me­di­an. He was do­ing his stan­dup here in town. A bunch of peo­p­le from the Ger­man Con­su­la­te came down to see him and they came back­stage af­ter­wards, and they said to him: „How come we dont’t have an­yo­ne as fun­ny as you back home?“ And my fri­end said, „Be­cau­se you kil­led them all.“«

Ly­man: »Well that’s a bit of an over­state­ment. Isn’t it?«

Quin­cy: »May­be.«
