Ralphie as an adult, narrating: "Now, I had heard that word at least ten times a day from my old man. He worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium; a master. But, I chickened out and said the first name that came to mind."
Ralphie: "Schwartz!"

Fuck yeah!
