Realtor guy:...and the area is really gentrifying quite nicely...very safe. The people from the projects never come over to this side of the neighborhood, so it's a great place to raise a family.

Realtor guy: Sorry, I... I work on commission. [To his clients]

Homeless guy: Come on man, I'm hungry!

Realtor guy: Fuck you, you just cost me a commission!
