Chef's dad
Ooh, it must've been about seven, eight years ago. Me and the little lady was out on this boat, you see, all alone at night, when all of a sudden this huge creature, this giant crustacean from the paleolithic era, comes out of the water.
Chef's mom
We was so scared, Lord have mercy, I jumped up in the boat and I said "Thomas, what on earth is that creature?!"
Chef's dad
It stood above us looking down with these big red eyes,-
Chef's mom
Oh, it was so scary!
Chef's dad
and I yelled. I said, "What do you want from us, monster?!" And the monster bent down and said, "...Uh I need about tree-fitty." [a long silence follows]
Kyle
What's tree-fitty?
Chef's dad
Three dollars and fifty cents.
Chef's mom
Tree-fitty.
Stan
He wanted money?
Chef's dad
That's right. I said "I ain't giving you no tree-fitty you goddamn Loch Ness monster! Get your own goddamn money!"
Chef's mom
I gave him a dollar.
Chef's dad
She gave him a dollar.
Chef's mom
I thought he'd go away if I gave him a dollar.
Chef's dad
Well of course he's not gonna go away, Nellie! You give him a dollar, he's gonna assume you got more!
True. BTW the ref for those unaware is from when GL was on the Great White North album (Bob & Doug) and apparently they paid him 10 bucks (Canadian, mind you) for the favor of being on their big hit.

I love Rush. So many songs are timeless, but many feel like they were written for this moment in time.
