Roger: That was our tenth Warped Tour, it's out of control, we've played six full Warped Tours and partial Warped Tours, Australia Warped Tour, European Warped Tour, bits and pieces of US Warped Tours. We're like those hookers that have been around so long that they don't even have pimps anymore.

The most trifling actions that affect a man's credit are to be regarded. The sound of your hammer at five in the morning, or at nine at night, heard by a creditor, makes him easy six months longer but if he sees you at the billiard-table, or hears your voice at a tavern, when you should be at work, he sends for his money the next day.
