If you've spent the past two years (or decades) saying "ugh I would never go to the city anymore there's so much crime thugs killadelphia", fuck you, you don't get to break your streak to see Jalen Hurts. They're not called the Main Line Eagles.

But as someone who has already spent much of this morning reading your tweets about how horrible #Philadelphia is and how you could solve all of our problems by locking up most of the “thugs” (code for Black and Brown people), may I make a suggestion? Stay home.

Paul Giamatti delivers this more or less verbatim in the HBO John Adams series and he was very good (in general played Adams with a pugnacious difficultness that made him more likeable.)

In a dialogue held in Philadelphia on a very warm morning at the end of June 1776, when Massachusetts delegate to the Continental Congress John Adams had a conversation with Pennsylvania delegate Dr. Benjamin Franklin about the writing of the Declaration of Independence by Virginia delegate Thomas Jefferson; they were discussing the importance of the document and who might be remembered for their part in bringing it to reality :

John Adams: “It doesn’t matter, Franklin. I won’t be in the history books anyway, only you. Franklin did this and Franklin did that and Franklin did some other damn thing. Franklin smote the ground and out sprang George Washington, fully grown and on his horse. Franklin then electrified him with his miraculous lightning rod and the three of them – Franklin, Washington, and the horse – conducted the entire revolution by themselves.”

This line resonates with me so hard, it's my go-to example of "specificity is always funnier." "Subaru" is much more evocative than "car" or even "station wagon." Though I could swear Saul calls it a "certified pre-owned Subaru" in the final delivery.

All right, $16,000 laundered at 75 cents on the dollar minus my fee, which is 17%, comes to $9,960. Congratulations, you just left your family a secondhand Subaru.
