• Schiavelli : Any other questions?

  Ben Lockston : Uh, yes, uh, I think we all had, uh, drinks with, uh, dinner, uh... dope and, uh, the alcohol... mix?

  Schiavelli : Oh, *they'll mix*.

• Schiavelli : [instructing the SPFC how to smoke a joint]  Now the other thing that you must remember, is that after you inhale, you take the joint and you pass it to the person sitting next to you. Do not, repeat, *do not* hold onto the joint. This is called *bogarting* the joint, and it is very rude.

• Schiavelli : So you take it and you pass it to the person sitting next to you until the joint gets passed around and it's very, very small. That is called a *roach*; and I will collect those.

• Schiavelli : Now are there any other questions before we light up?

  SPFC member : Yes; you said we should count to ten. How fast should we count?

  Schiavelli : Just fast enough so that you don't pass out.

• Schiavelli : [to woman who is taking repeated short puffs on her joint]  Hey, lady! Don't cheat!

  SPFC member : Who, me?

  Schiavelli : Yeah, you!

  SPFC member : I have trouble with my windpipe.

  Schiavelli : [exasperated]  Well just *pass it along*.
