What does Hamilton Leithauser say when someone calls him up for a ride?
“You’ve got a nerve to be asking a favor.You’ve got a nerve to be calling my number!”
And when the guy tells him where to pick him up….
He says, “I know,We’ve been through this before.”
When he arrives and the dude isn”t ready…
He screams, “Can’t you hear me I’m, Pounding on your door?!Can’t you see me i’m, calling out your name?!”
So now he always laments:
“I go out alone if I go out at all.”
