When in doubt, empty the magazine.

So my dad attended a little shindig last Friday, a reunion for anyone who has ever flown faster than the speed of sound. He explained it: "They're gona line 
up some nice Gripens on the runway and, and they're gona fly one or two right by us, like 
Bbbrrrrrrrrrr, and then we're all gona have a cocktail and TALK NONSENSE."

INT. Runway Warehouse - LATE EVENING
Two middle-aged men are standing next to a plastic tablecloth
covered snacks table, facing outwards, holding half-empty 
(half-full?) highball glasses of flattening beer, warmed by 
grizzly man hands. One of the men every now and then chews a 
cocktail weiner on a stick from the nearby table.

                faster than the speed of sound?
