HORACE: ...I look around the store and I realize why I'm kind of dizzy. The sign on the counter is in Comic Sans. On the window it's Copperplate Gothic. And on the receipt it's Monotype Corsiva. MONOTYPE CORSIVA! So I said that's it! I'll never again patronize any business that uses any typeface I can recognize!
GIOVANNI: You sound somewhat obsessed with fonts.
HORACE: TYPEFACES.
GIOVANNI: It's unhealthy! Listen, here's my card. I'm a psychologist specializing in anxiety-causing obsessions. Give me a call.
