PENNINGTON: The analogy that he used was that he feels like a Brussels sprout, saying that, “You’re a Brussels sprout and some people really like Brussels sprouts. And you know you’re a really good vegetable and you just know that if everyone would just give Brussels sprouts a chance, you would be the most popular vegetable, and overtake everything else, potatoes or whatever. If everyone would just give Brussels sprouts a shot. But ultimately, what you kind of have to realize is that, you’re a Brussels sprout. And sometimes, people just don’t like Brussels sprouts.” You know, you are what you are. And Parenthetical Girls is what it is.
NORRIS: Well, I like Brussels sprouts.
PENNINGTON: You’re too kind. Thanks, John.
