But how else would you strike up a conversation with a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket after meeting at Citibank? Gotta have that pen at the ready.

No, I love New York City. I used to live there. Sometimes I miss it so much, I’ll fill my humidifier with urine.

Why do you think people are willing to spend so much per square foot just to live there?
