A Quote by Christopher Abbott

I didn't know the comic at all, which is really funny because I grew up here and I had friends who worked at all of the places.

Video store arguments really bother me. Let's say it's a slow night on campus so you decide to stay in and rent a movie.

Good, then let's rent it.
