Fun!

Can you spot the ad-lib in the following exchange from Guys and Dolls?

NATHAN: I went over to the Biltmore garage--talked to Joey Biltmore himself. He says he might take a chance and let me use the place, if I give him a thousand bucks.
BENNY: A thousand bucks?!?
NATHAN: In cash. He won't take my marker.
BENNY: Your marker's no good, huh?
NATHAN: What do you mean? A marker ain't just a piece of paper that says I.O.U. one thousand dollars, signed Nathan Detroit--a marker is like a pledge, which a guy can't welch on it. It's like taking flash photos during a stage play, or not saluting the flag. My marker is as good as anybody's, only Joey Biltmore don't think so. It don't seem possible. Me without a livelihood. Why, I been runnin' the crap game ever since I was a juvenile delinquent.

Finished Harry Potter yesterday. Was pleased that the spoilers I'd inadvertently read online turned out to not be true.

Did they pull the giant jumbotrons? Hope that worked out.

Shouldn't the menu, I mean the playbill state that flash photography is forbidden?

Thank you for no HP spoilers. If you have to spoil, then you'd do it "behind the cut", right? Then, I could come back after next week and join in the fun in a belated kinda way.

Break your legs in the manitee this afternoon!
