USAirways flight 1560, Ft. Lauderdale to Pittsburgh.
The majority of the passengers have sunburns and Steelers/camouflage/NASCAR clothing on. A large gentleman with the sleeves cut off of his t-shirt and a Yosemite Sam tattoo squeezes down the aisle, followed by a man with a Camaro shirt and a camo hat:

Man #1: [in thick yinzer accent]: Nuh-uh! These seatbelts are just like the ones on the Jack Rabbit!
Man #2: [next to him, shyly whispering] What’s the Jack Rabbit?
Man #1: [in disbelief]  JACK RABBIT’S ONE OF THE BEST ROLLER COASTERS EVER. IT’S AT KENNYWOOD.
[Several other passengers join in and talk about how great Kennywood is, how much they miss it, how they can't wait for May...]

Man #3: You never heard of Kennywood? It’s best amusement park ever!
Man #4: Jack Rabbit’s a great roller coaster!
Man #5: I love `em Potato Patch French fries.

Docherty Talent Agency, Downtown.
A CoolDude™ actor is casually bragging
to other auditioners about living in Los Angeles:

Actor: Yeah, it’s tough living out there, man. You gotta be a real self-advocate, a real self-promoter, you know? And you gotta surround yourself with smart people who know what they’re doing. They’re going to use you, but they’ll be honest with you. Everyone uses you out there, but at least you’ll know.
