HOBO: What's wrong with your niece?

BEARD: I took her to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch.



HOBO: I thought kids loved that place?

BEARD: She did, until I told her the guy dressed as the rat was a 39-year-old meth addict, with two child support draws on his paycheck, and who would be legally prohibited 200 yards from the place if not in that disguise.



HOBO: Talk about paradise lost.

BEARD: I think Milton would be proud.
