He wasn’t a threat to his compadres until they thought he might get sweated and talk. Long as he was out it was fun, sun, and 12 year old snatch. The heat comes down bye, bye Jeffy. We just can’t take chances. We’ll miss you. Not as much as the 12 year olds but hey! It’s been real.

Remo Gaggi: "Look... why take a chance? At least, that's the way I feel about it."
