He was standing very still, but my hand was shaking.

This set is finished, by the way.

Maybe it's the suit (complete with vest!), but Paul F. Tompkins even sounds like a good guy when he's yelling "fuck" or confessing to prolonged string of video cassette thefts. Of course, it's easy to root for him, he's a Philly guy. And he made good use of his local expertise by riffing on drinking at Dirty Franks, working at Hats in the Belfry and living among the elderly on Fitzwater. Laughed my ass off.
