I mean, obviously, somewhere in the world, it's the best of times for someone. Like he's eating all this insane Vietnamese food he just got for free... ...and the woman who delivered the food looks exactly like the hot girl from Pussy Riot and now she's situated in the corner playing unspeakably beautiful melodies on the harp. While he's just going to town on that food. So, yeah, that's the best of times. Meanwhile, some other guy is having his will broken by professional torturers... ...who are suspending him over a crocodile-infested pool of acid. And because it's acid, these crocodiles are just pissed. And they're also piping in that gross smell you get... ...when they spill a bunch of milk in the school parking lot. And this beefy torture dude is just punching the hell out of him. Worst of times: check.

(SINGING) Yo, my name is Ill Phil I'll bend you to my will GREG: Or the universally ostracized Ill Phil. Yeah, that's good. Force you to eat that pill Now you're like, "What's the deal?" Truly a nation of one. I just got killed (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS) GREG: And there were some places I simply couldn't go. Like the cafeteria.
