  • I thought it was Ron Perlman, the actor, and I was surprised that he didn’t get the money. Because I’d think it would have gone like:

    Gagosian: I won’t give you the money!

    Perlman: (glower)

    Gagosian: Oh god stop doing that. Here’s the money!

    Perlman: (glower)

    Gagosian: No, please! Stop it! Here’s twice the money, please stop!

    Perlman: (GLOWER)

    Gagosian: NOOOOOOO! TAKE ALL MY MONEY, JUST STOP!

    Perlman: (GLOWER)

    Gagosian: (head explodes like in Scanners)
