The Wiz on the Street

"Just flat-out asking them ias not going to work. You have to cause a national power grid failure to dim the lights, and then maybe put on a little Behzad Ranjbaran by launching a fleet of loudspeaker-equipped vans"

"All right! Let the f*cking under strict Islamic guidelines begin.."
