Little bit of a long story but so worth it. So back when I was a senior in high school(2000) all I wanted to do was go to NY and see John C. Reily and Phil Hoffman in True West. It was(still is) my favorite play and those are two of my favorite actors. Add to the top of that, that PSH is a graduate of my high school and we shared the same acting teacher.
I scheduled a trip around april to catch the show. Afterwards I waited in the lobby for him and we had a nice 10-15 min convo about our hometown, high school, my hair color at the time, Sam Shepard....you name it we covered it. I thanked him for taking time to talk to me and walked out. As I was standing outside Circle I went to light up a smoke and I felt a tap on my shoulder...this is where it gets funny....it was PSH. He looks at me and says "Man this is strange, can I bum a smoke?" of course I said yes and he goes on with "Jesus this is weird, shouldn't you be bumming these off me? I guess adults have to go to the high schoolers for smokes now" I asked him why there wasn't any smoking in the play, like it calls for and he says "Cause I'm trying to 'quit'(air quotes and all)" and then this is the part that kills me, he said "Oh and if Reiley or my girlfriend come up that escalator before I finish this, just tell me, they'll both *uck*ing kill me if they see me smoking"
Well they came up and he quick hands me the smoke and I took it and as they walked out the door he says "...and thats why you need to quit before it becomes a habit, it was hell for me to quit....Oh hey guys are you ready to leave?" He introduced me to all and then the 3 of them went their seperate ways.
Needless to say it made my trip.
long winded much?
I got rid of my teeth at a young age because... I'm straight. Teeth are for gay people. That's why fairies come and get them
