In one hand, he carries the Savage Garden-blasting boombox, and in the other, he totes a pink bag emblazoned with the faces of every classic Disney princess. We try, unsuccessfully, to stifle our giggles, at which he smiles toothlessly and moves on. But in moments, he is back, offering Danny a $100 American Express gift card. Danny asks if it costs $100, to which the man replies...
