all come on stage talking

Parker:       Riley, I gotta tell you, that was one really strange group in there.

Riley:        I’d never seen some of those guys either Parker. But I thought it was an OK time.

Parker:       Yah most of the guys were OK I guess.

Riley:        Wait Parker . . . . So if some of the guys were OK, guess that means you think some of the guys weren’t OK.

Parker:       Wait a bit yourself Riley. I never said some of the guys weren’t OK! What made you say that?

Riley:        What made me say that? . . Maybe it was you saying “most of the guys in there were OK!”  (to Jordan) What would you think, Jordan, if Parker said that to you?
