Conversation in the Venetian elevator

At Venetian to pick up my $175 free play, I get into an elevator, wearing the same shirt as last time:

no raptors

A young black gentleman is in the elevator already.

"No... raptors? What's that about?"

"I do not want to be hunted down and killed by raptors!"

"Is it from a movie, or a game, or something?"

"No. I just don't like raptors." (Yes, I know about Jurassic Park, but I haven't seen it.)

"So why that particular concern, man? They extinct!"

Fortunately we arrive at my floor just then, and I can nod gravely and say "You can never be too sure" as I walk away.

This is totally the best line: "So why that particular concern, man? They extinct!"

HOLD ON HOLD ON

Imagine Samuel L. Jackson's character in Pulp Fiction yelling that conversation at you.

Then it would have been, "they extinct, motherfucker!"

It's so awesome that you can do this sort of thing with a straight face.
