    I made the mistake of watching this while eating . I laughed so hard I started seriously choking. I thought , I’ll be joining you soon Gilbert. I can just imagine him saying “ That’s what you get for laughing at a kid with Muscular Dystrophy...”

    Well, let's be honest. Gilbert was going to hell anyway after what his ancestors did to Jesus so it's not like he ever really stood a chance.

      Also, funny how Gilbert lied and said Orlando got one of the most messed up kids. That kid was super cute singing with him

    OMFG I remember this!!!! At the breakdown Tony goes to the kid making him trying to pretend to be a Ghostbuster, exhorting him to, "Shoot 'em!! Shoot 'em down!!" It was weird and embarrassing just to watch. I was convinced that Tony was still on something then, despite how good he looked. And, damn, did he look good, but that was weird as hell.
