Brandon: I explicitly told you not to bring anyone else here, Rich.

Rodriguez: Oh, yeah. But I'll keep going if you want. 

Robinson: AKGCCCCKKKKKKKK TILL GURG MAKE KNEEFENSE WIF BUTTER SKUFFED NANIMALS AKKCKKDHHHH---

Brandon pauses. Then, he shifts his weight from one leg to another and nods.

Brandon: We'll move the players' meeting back. I know a place we can dump the body.  

Rodriguez: Syracuse? HAHAHAHA!

Brandon: Not a jury alive there that would convict us!

THEY LAUGH.

Brandon: No, but seriously, I was just going to take it out to Dantonio's place. If there's anyone in Michigan who's got a bathtub and enough quicklime to dissolve a human body, it's him.

Rodriguez: Well, duh.
