This is near impossible, but "Travis and Sport, daytime" is pretty fuckin' funny so I just went for it.

"I'm hip."
"You don't look hip!"

What's the scene with the slow zoom into the Alka Seltzer? That one.

The Bellmore Cafeteria: Alka-seltzer shot and Errol Flynn's bathtub

Thanks.

Scorsese as the passenger is fantastic; I've always thought it was a pretty great performance, coming from a non-actor.

this was hard. Was going to go for the American Bandstand bit, but in the end had to go with "suck on this".
