He must really love the first draft of Empire Strikes Back.

500, Outbound, Oakland.
A two-year-old girl has been sitting with a neglectful adult. A crazy 70-year-old man sitting at the back of the bus moves toward the front of the bus, sitting on her as if he hadn’t seen her:

Crazy 70-Year-Old Man: Oh, sorry, I didn’t see you here.

[He continues to play with the scared girl, intermittently speaking to the girl’s adult, his speech peppered with the word “Muthafucker.” Finally, the coup de grace:]

Crazy 70-Year-Old Man: I am your sugar daddy. Now, GIVE ME SOME PANTS!
