At the Strand, two very blond, theatrical (in all senses), very young men--boys?--are looking through the carts near the film and theater section. One says to the other, theatrically, of course, “Danny, what are you seeking?”
Corner of 7th Ave/W 4th right at the Christopher St. stop on the 1, he's on his cell phone and he says loudly, “You know what Oscar Wilde says...”

Well, what does he say?!
I don't know! I was booking it down the street on my way somewhere, and he was indulging in a long theatrical pause (intermission, interlude, interval, lapse, suspension, gap, hiatus) plus of course whoever he was talking to was expected to know what Oscar Wilde said, much in the way a teacher might say, "No child left behind?" and tone says all, what do you need to add?
