And the #1 reason the women (girls) in the car ran into Giuseppe was the suits. Had nothing to do with 2 tigers walking down the street!

Yeah, stop discriminating against weretigers. They're real people, just like you and I, and deserve not to be gawked at like freaks.

Except that body-mod, tattooed tiger guy. He is a freak.
