Scene: Rockefeller Center subway station. Two cops are standing in front of what we used to call the "token booth" when a third cop walks over to them from the Metrocard machines, where some tourists are standing.
Third Cop, calling: "Spanish, anyone speak Spanish?"
First cop: "Not fluently..."
Third cop, making a face: "Good enough, I guess..."
They all had a good laugh and headed over to help.
Then I headed upstairs and witnessed a scene I've never seen in real life: Someone yelling, "Hey, I'm walkin' here!" at a car. Didn't look native, but hey, someone's got to say it at least once in a while to remind us of Ratso. I know I've wanted to, but never really had the chance, thankfully.
