On
Life and Late-night Breakfast
Big guy: Fried.
MackTate:
Are you crazy? I'm not eatin' them unless they're scrambled.
Big
guy: No WAY dude. Scrambled's boring.
MackTate:
I'm telling you, scrambled or you walk away.
Big
guy: Scrambled is for pussies.
MackTate:
Scrambled is where it's at. Fried's just a big 'ol messyou
got yolk everywhere.
Big
guy: Dude. The yolk is the best part.
MackTate:
Yolk is nasty. You scramble. You put it in a tortilla. Oh yeah,
it's on.
Big
guy: As I said, scrambled is for LOSERS. Sunny side up, side
of hash browns, toast points.
MackTate:
Get out of here with your toast points. What the hell is a toast
point anyway?
Big
guy: You know, when you cut the toast sideways and make triangles
out of each side
MackTate:
It's a toast triangle, dude. Not a point.
Big
guy: PreferablyRYE toast points. Uh-huh.
MackTate:
What, are you fuckin' crazy? Rye toast? Tortillas.
Big
guy: Tortillas are for migas.
MackTate:
And migas require the scramble. But migas have too much extra
shit in them.
Big
guy: That's the beauty of the fried egg. Nothin' to interrupt
the egg taste sensation.
MackTate:
I stand firm. Scrambled. Or nothing.
