My Big Fat Greek Triple Troll Epigraph

Here we see Valchek and Sobotka going at each other, but the quote is from Little Big Roy where he’s speaking about the shipping ports and how everything is becoming more automated.  The good old days are gone. The Greek tends to speak with better grammar, so I thought this …
