I picture Rick Moranis sticking out his tongue pretending to be Dark Helmet and yet, a teenage boy at the same time - only it's a stupid white guy behind a huge veil that's probably hot as hell, but he'd rather hide behind it and make funny faces. He's probably making very sour / sexual jokes, as well, and only the woman next to him can hear them.
