Disney Goes Cosa Nostra With An Amaretto Sour

Two Amaretto Sours and a wild idea spark a full-blown caper: what if Disney characters ran a classic mafia? We pour, we taste, and we build an underworld—with Boss Mickey at the top, a heated consigliere debate (Minnie’s steel vs Goofy’s chill), and capos assigned to every park. It’s satire, it’s structure, and it’s strangely satisfying as we map crews, enforcers, and “fronts” that fit each park’s energy.

We start at the bar, comparing a scratch Amaretto Sour to a Bartesian version and unpack why an amaretto-forward balance works even for bourbon skeptics. Then we lay out the family tree. Disneyland gets old-school charm with Roger or Oswald and a transportation racket that kicks tribute upstairs. DCA runs on engines and muscle—Lightning or Luigi in charge, with Mr. Incredible and Spider-Man tightening the bolts. Magic Kingdom becomes a jewel operation with the Seven Dwarfs and a sly cash wash through comedy clubs, while Donald or Carousel John keep order in their own unforgettable ways.

Things turn shadowy at Hollywood Studios where Scar, Darth Vader, and Loki bring enforcement and intrigue. Kermit offers a gentler alternate leadership style, backed by a toy box crew that improvises for the greater good. Epcot scales up with Figment’s unpredictability or Scrooge’s iron ledger, calling in Remy, Baymax, Elsa, the Three Caballeros, the Phoenicians, and even Patrick Warburton’s legendary Soarin’ voice for intimidation by tone alone. Animal Kingdom closes strong with Judy Hopps’ discipline, Mufasa’s authority, and the Madrigal family’s specialized “import/export” skill set.

Beyond the laughs, there’s a real takeaway on leadership and systems: the right roles, trusted lieutenants, and a balance of force and finesse can run any kingdom—imagined or real. Pour a glass, press play, and then tell us who your Disney underboss would be.

Transcript

Cocktails And Setup

SPEAKER_02 0:00

Hello, welcome to Tears to Ears, where today we're creating mafia families with Disney characters. And we're drinking a Amaretto Sour, once again from Via Napole Restaurante e Pizzeria and Epcot. Welcome to Tears to Ears.

SPEAKER_00 0:13

We're gonna click our drinks. We're gonna toast, we're gonna toast, and get our tears to it.

SPEAKER_03 0:31

We're back. So we made two amaretto sours.

SPEAKER_02 0:35

Right. So this is from the restaurant you keep wanting me to say big old long words. So just Vienna. Right. Anyway, it's a we made the Amareto sour. It's made it at Viennapol. It's made with maker's mark bourbon, amareto liqueur, lemon lime soda, lemon juice, and it's$19.

Amaretto Sour Taste Test

SPEAKER_03 0:53

It's$19. So we did with ours half ounce of gym bean bourbon, half ounce of amaretto, just under half ounce of lemon juice, and then about an ounce and a half of actually double that. And then and I'll explain why you'd want to double that. And then an ounce and a half of Sprite. But we split it up because the Bartesian has an Amaretto sour. It's a vodka-based amaretto sour. And so we wanted to do a comparison of the two. And so I made one, which is an ounce of bourbon, an ounce of amaretto, three-quarters of an ounce to an ounce of lemon juice, and three ounces of Sprite. And then I just split it between the two glasses, and then we did the same thing with the uh the Bart version. And we've tried them, they're both good. I think the Bart is a little bit better because it's a little more amaretto forward. But I have to say, the amaretto, and if you don't like bourbon-based cocktails necessarily, this is one to go with. Because this between the Sprite and the lemon juice and the Amaretto, it really just blends well with the bourbon and takes that bourbon, that whiskey taste out. Right. And it's still really good.

SPEAKER_02 2:19

Yeah, I think I would cut down on the one one from Viennapoly. I think I would cut down on the the Sprite. Just a little bit? Yeah, just a little bit. Yeah. It's a little too much Sprite. I think if it was a little more Amaretto flavor, yeah. A little more almond flavor. I think it should be Amaretto Forward. Hence the name. I do pick up all the different flavors in there. That's correct. But the Bartesian one, this is one of the best drinks Bartesian makes. It is. Still not a sponsor of the show, Bartesian. Come on. You should be. And we've speaking your praises, anyways, because we love you.

Bartesian Shoutouts And Origins

SPEAKER_03 2:53

I sent an email, and I probably should send an email to somebody within the Disney organization. But I sent one to Barth that they need to partner with Disney to create Disney cocktails for the Bartesian. And they said, thank you very much for your input. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know, the usual, hey, thanks. We'll look into it.

SPEAKER_02 3:16

And then they're stepping up their advertising game because we've been Bartesian fans for a while. Oh, yeah. And since one. Yeah, so yeah, pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. And my wife, Christy, is a huge Bartesian fan. It's her toy that I can hardly touch. Thank you, Christy. Thank you, Christy. For letting us use your Bartesian to do that. Yes, and drinking your last amaretto sour. Yeah, so thank you. That's the first thank you, Christy, we've had in a while. Yes. And it's well deserved.

Framing The Disney Mafia Parody

SPEAKER_03 3:40

It's well, well deserved. Well deserved. Thank you, Christy. But you've had the Bartesian longer than we've done the podcast. Correct. Yeah. Because it it came about as I came over to just talk about a trip that you booked through Best Day Ever Vacations, Aaron at best day ever vacations at gmail.com. I haven't booked my trips. You should too. And got back and I debriefed Disney World to you. Correct. And you said, would you like an old fashioned from the Bartesian? Why, why, sure. I would love one. Very good old fashioned. And yeah, and over that, over those cocktails, we came hours of conversation with Cheers to Ears podcast. And here we are today. And here we are today. A couple years later. Talking about the Disney crime family. This is a parody episode entirely. Disney is not a crime family. None of these characters are part of a crime family. We just used our humorous imaginations to come up if they were to go Cosa Nostra. Right. Who would be who would fill each of the roles?

SPEAKER_02 4:53

Yeah, so if Disney, all if all of Disney was the characters, yes. Not the leadership, nothing about this is all conjectionalized. No. If they were a mafia family, what would their structure be? Yeah. And you had a great idea, because I was thinking we would just do one total, like all of Disney with the underbosses and our structure and how we did it. But you came up with the idea of doing each park having an underboss, a capo and each park. Right.

SPEAKER_03 5:23

So there's a boss, then there's an underboss, then there's the consigliary who is the advice giver, counsel of the boss and underboss. And then each park has a capo. So those are the guys who lead crews.

SPEAKER_02 5:38

Okay, so I have a little different because to me, an underboss and capo are the same thing.

SPEAKER_03 5:42

Oh, they're different.

SPEAKER_02 5:43

In my world of mafia.

SPEAKER_03 5:44

Oh.

Defining The Mob Hierarchy

SPEAKER_02 5:44

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, mine, they were different. Yeah. So I don't my I only have an consigliary, and then the underbosses and capos are all the same. They're the same thing. They run each park. Then they have their soldiers. Okay. And yada, yada, yada. So the boss. We came up with this and we decided there was one boss. There's one boss. And that's Mickey. Yeah. And that's it. So everything runs off of Mickey. Yeah. Being the boss of all the parks. We have a lighting issue going on.

SPEAKER_03 6:13

That was weird. Oh, we have a bulb going out. Uh-oh. YouTube. YouTube fans, if you can't see us as well.

SPEAKER_02 6:20

A bulb. We have a bulb issue.

SPEAKER_03 6:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:24

So anyway. Because once I stand up, that involves editing and it's flickering, and we might have to the boss is Mickey. Right.

SPEAKER_03 6:32

Now, who was your consiglieri?

SPEAKER_02 6:34

My consiglieri? Yes.

SPEAKER_03 6:36

Mini Mouse. You had a woman in the position.

SPEAKER_02 6:39

Yeah, I'm thinking total Bonnie and Clyde style.

SPEAKER_03 6:42

See, I was like, I went old school that there are no women in involved with my oh mine is total. She's like, she's mine's sexist mafia. Yours is a sexist mafia. Old school. You can't let the ladies in. So mine, and with my, because like I said, I have the boss and the underboss, and they're in charge of the whole organization. Right. So I went with Goofy because he is the one who, if Mickey's gonna make a rash decision, he's gonna give them some like calm down advice. Okay, and it makes sense. You gotta have the top three. You gotta have Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. So who would be consigliary of those three? The OG three. Donald is the underboss. Donald is the one. See, you don't want to take advice from Donald because he's just gonna whack everybody.

SPEAKER_02 7:34

So Goofy's been around a while. In my mafia, he doesn't get that huge of a role. Yeah. He just causes too many problems. They're gonna want to knock him off. Oh, yeah. Goofy's the target because he messes up so much.

SPEAKER_03 7:46

But see, he's not really in charge of anything but giving advice.

Choosing The Boss And Counsel

SPEAKER_02 7:49

That's the But he's the consigliary. He's like the He just gives advice. I don't know. I don't know if he's gonna he'd not ask very long.

SPEAKER_03 7:57

Because if Mickey were to get whacked, you got Donald stepping up as he becomes the boss. Now, whether or not Donald's gonna listen to Goofy, I don't know. I think Mickey would. And that was my whole thought of the OG three, Mickey Donald Goofy, who's the boss, who's the underboss, and who's the consigliary. Okay. And that's how it just fell out for me.

SPEAKER_02 8:18

Okay. Good. So yeah, Minnie was mine because she's just total, she would keep Mickey in check all the time. Yes, absolutely. Yeah. And she's just total, she's a boss too. She is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So we have an underboss for each park.

SPEAKER_03 8:32

Or a capo. Right. So a capo is you have an underboss, too. A captain. Yeah, but your structure has that you sent me. With the underboss as one underboss and then capos? Yeah. Okay. So anyway, capos. Or there's one capo. They lead the crew at oops. They lead the crew for each park. So I've got soldiers. So there's capos who are in charge. They lead the crew. Soldiers who are made men who are part of the family. And then there's associates. And these are guys, they aren't Italian. So if you've seen good fellas, Henry Hill and Jimmy. Right. They're associates because they're not Sicilian. They're not Italian. They can't be made men. Right.

SPEAKER_01 9:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:19

So Tommy could. But then Tommy got whacked because he went to went after Billy Bats.

SPEAKER_02 9:24

But that's a whole nother story. That's a whole other story. So I stopped at Soldiers. Okay. Because I didn't do associates because I didn't do associates in it. I just figured everyone was gonna be associate somewhere. Yeah. And the structure, you'd have to put them under each, like each soldier's. Every soldier would have their own associates. Yeah. Right. That gets too bogged down. Yeah. So should we just go under bot capos from each park?

SPEAKER_03 9:48

Yes. Which which one did you start with? I started Disneyland. Okay. Disneyland DC. Okay. DCA Magic Kingdom. Let me change my page. Okay. We're good.

SPEAKER_02 9:58

Okay. So with Disneyland, I went crazy on this one. I went old school because Disneyland's old school. Okay. And it's a happy place. Right. So I went Oswald the lucky rabbit.

Disneyland Capo And Soldiers

SPEAKER_03 10:09

Oh, okay. Okay. Is there is he IP in the park? Yes, I mean. He's a DCA. Oh, DCA.

SPEAKER_02 10:17

He walks around. But he's, I mean, at Disneyland, I just took it as any park. Are we doing DCA? No, it's Disneyland. I'm moving him over.

SPEAKER_03 10:24

Okay. You're moving him over.

SPEAKER_02 10:26

He's in charge.

SPEAKER_03 10:27

Okay. Hey, you know, he's in charge. Hopefully that's the last flicker of light we have.

SPEAKER_02 10:31

It has to be out now.

SPEAKER_03 10:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:32

No way it's coming back on.

SPEAKER_03 10:33

All right. So you had Roger Rabbit. Do you want to do that? No, I had Oswald, the lucky rabbit. Oswald. I had Roger Rabbit. You had Roger Rabbit.

SPEAKER_00 10:42

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 10:43

Yeah, Roger Rabbit. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 10:45

So who were your soldiers? Soldiers for Disneyland?

SPEAKER_01 10:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:50

Okay, so here I tried to think of so one of my favorite people to see around Disneyland is the Matt Hatter. Okay. So I chose Matt Hatter for one. Okay. Do you want me to give you all three? I did three.

SPEAKER_03 11:01

You did three. Yeah, yeah. Just give me all three. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 11:03

And Tinkerbell? Okay. Okay. Because she can sprinkle some pixie dust on this. Yeah. And then Pluto.

SPEAKER_03 11:10

I can't imagine Pluto in a that's a happy group. I can Tinkerbell. She's got a bit of a mean streak to her. Yeah. At times.

SPEAKER_02 11:17

Pluto's the just he's gonna keep your he's gonna keep everyone happy.

SPEAKER_03 11:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:21

He's gonna keep all the associates like wanting you the job.

SPEAKER_03 11:23

Yeah, okay. Okay. Like I said, mine was the Disneyland copo was Roger Rabbit. My soldiers were Chip and Dale.

SPEAKER_02 11:31

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 11:32

Indiana Jones. Okay, the hitchhiking ghosts. Oh, and Mr. Toad. Just all of those I thought. And some of them I only went a couple, and then I went up to aisle five. I you did three. I just kind of brainstormed and wrote stuff down really quick. Yeah, my brain had three on it. Yeah, I couldn't that's good. Now I also did how what is their main money making scheme? Did you come up with something like that? I did not, no. I came up with that. I forgot about that. So that because Roger Rabbit, there is transportation. There's all forms of transportation. Right. Waste management. Yeah. And other disposal.

SPEAKER_02 12:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 12:15

Disposal. I like this. Yeah. So that was how they made their how that crew made their money. Because they got to kick some back up to Mickey.

SPEAKER_02 12:23

And you have to have a you have to have a front.

SPEAKER_03 12:24

Yeah. Yeah. And so that's that was the whole deal. That's good. Okay. So DCA? DCA. My my capo is Lightning McQueen. Yeah, that was a I almost went with Lightning McQueen. Yeah. Yeah. Who were your Oh good straight to my you want me to do my capo? Yeah, do your capo and then we'll do Soldier Soldier. Close. I did Luigi.

SPEAKER_02 12:45

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 12:45

So say because it was Luigi. Right. I was like, if you have an opportunity to go with an actual Italian, you probably should.

SPEAKER_02 12:52

Right. Okay. So I think that well, a couple of them I didn't think of the park, so we'll move on. Yeah. So for DCA My Soldiers, Spider-Man. Okay. Because the Marvel Universe. Yeah. Right. There's a whole area. And then Goofy. He's a DCA. He's one of my soldiers. Sky School. Sky School. Right. Yeah. And then uh and then also Goofy with the because there's that park-like setting in like the California. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:16

Yeah. Right.

SPEAKER_02 13:16

You'd be good there too. Uh-huh. And then, of course, Mr. Incredible.

SPEAKER_03 13:19

I had Mr. Incredible.

SPEAKER_02 13:21

You have to. Yeah. Okay, those are my three.

SPEAKER_03 13:24

I did Lightning McQueen. Okay. So your capo in my universe is or is just a soldier. Right. Mater. Okay. Just and he's in just because Lightning McQueen. It's one of those he's in a There's a there's a consigliary. Yeah. Mater. He would be. If you were going just Card Universe. Mr. Incredible. I was like Crush. Oh, good. And then Sebastian.

unknown 13:49

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 13:50

And I tried to go with characters who were who you could find readily in the park.

SPEAKER_02 13:55

Yeah, I didn't think of that enough, I don't think. I could have done better with that.

DCA Roster And Rackets

SPEAKER_03 13:58

So their form of income, stolen cars, and shopping cars and yeah, all of that. And then they have some Caribbean and Southeast Asian connections. Okay. Do they have a front for their business? They don't have a front. I think I only came up with one or two fronts. No olive oil industry. No, no.

SPEAKER_02 14:20

Importer extra.

SPEAKER_03 14:21

Somewhere some way to launder their cash. Yeah. Perfect.

SPEAKER_01 14:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 14:26

Perfect.

SPEAKER_02 14:27

So Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom, my capo is Donald Duck. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 14:33

Yeah. He'd be a good capo.

SPEAKER_02 14:34

He would. He's taking he's in control.

SPEAKER_03 14:36

Yeah. He's walking around that place like a boss. A boss. Yes. So mine, this one, you my Magic Kingdom capo, John from Carousel of Progress. Think about it. You wouldn't expect him to be, but you know he is. You know he is. That's funny. Okay. That's funny.

SPEAKER_02 14:57

So soldiers at Magic Kingdom. Goofy. Okay. Chippendale. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Chipendale at Magic Kingdom. And Captain Hook. Captain Hook. That was didn't I almost didn't go with it because they're taking away a whole island that he could be in control of. Yes. True. He isn't like that, but I think those three would be a good. That's a that's an eclectic mix. It is. Of soldiers to work together.

SPEAKER_03 15:22

Mine, Dumbo, the seven dwarves. Okay. Which makes sense. And Mike and Sully. Oh, okay, good. Yeah. So this one I did have a money laundering operation. So of course jewels. Jewel smuggling and jewels. So that's what they're a crime. I mean the dwarves. Right. It makes sense. But they laundered their money through a string of comedy clubs.

SPEAKER_02 15:45

Oh, I like that.

SPEAKER_03 15:46

Yeah. You thought Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor was just a place to go hear a few jokes. Nope. Right. Nope. It's money laundering scheme. You just pay the entrance fees in cash. It comes out clean. Yep. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:59

I like that.

SPEAKER_03 16:00

That's the way it works. Okay, what which one do you have next?

SPEAKER_02 16:03

Uh it's Hollywood Studios. Okay. And I just had to put him as a copo. Okay. And I didn't want to put him at the other park that I almost picked. So it's Scar. Okay. I think it'd be a good one. I think Hollywood Studios is a good place for him.

SPEAKER_01 16:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:19

He does not really a character that that has to do with Hollywood Studios totally, but I just put him there.

SPEAKER_03 16:25

Yeah. He needs to be somewhere.

SPEAKER_02 16:27

Yeah. I didn't put him. I have a better copo for Animal Kingdom.

SPEAKER_03 16:31

So my copo is Kermit. Oh, that's a good one. Yeah. Because he's got that good copo energy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 16:39

I just like that. But he just lets the operation run.

SPEAKER_02 16:43

Now, Scar, this is where Hollywood Studios is my darkest park. This was the underbelly of my organization. With Scar in charge. Okay. With Scar in charge and his soldiers that work for him.

SPEAKER_01 16:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:56

It's this is you don't want to. I'd be scared to go to Hollywood Studios. I have Darth Vader. Okay. Okay. I have Indiana Jones. He's kind of the middle guy. But then I have Loki. Oh, okay. Loki had to be there somewhere. Yeah. Yeah. So Darth Vader and Loki, man, that's because Vader's Vader a gun over the top. Yeah. That's the problem. And I have a little summary at the end you can say about how my parks are structured.

SPEAKER_03 17:21

Yeah, you can't really trust that at some point Darth isn't going to try to take over.

SPEAKER_02 17:28

No, and him and what if him and Loki got together in any way?

SPEAKER_03 17:31

But thinking about actually, I don't think I'd trust Loki. I think I'd trust Darth because he's more loyal. Yeah, because he never made a play on the Emperor.

SPEAKER_02 17:40

No, Darth is more loyal.

SPEAKER_03 17:41

Yeah. So Loki, you can't trust him at all.

SPEAKER_02 17:45

He just did he did that for his son, another loyalty thing.

SPEAKER_03 17:48

Yeah. Yeah, he's very loyal.

SPEAKER_02 17:50

He's loyal to his son when he when the whole emperor thing when he there's no wires.

SPEAKER_03 17:54

You don't have to check him for being wired. He's not turning state's evidence. Loki would.

SPEAKER_02 18:00

Loki might. Yeah, Loki would have a nice house in Arizona.

SPEAKER_03 18:04

He'd roll on New Mexico like you wouldn't believe.

SPEAKER_02 18:07

Or he'd live on a golf course in New Mexico.

Magic Kingdom Power Players

SPEAKER_03 18:09

Yeah. Set up under his wife's his mother-in-law's name.

SPEAKER_02 18:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:13

Loki Jones. Okay, so we got Coppa's permit, my soldiers, Andy and the Toys.

SPEAKER_02 18:19

Straight up, Andy and the Toys. Andy and that's a good group.

SPEAKER_03 18:23

Yeah. Because they work together well. Right. Yeah. Your Hollywood studios, I would go to. Although sometimes the Toys, Andy, he's not the Coppa, but that's his little crew. And sometimes the toys act outside of Andy's knowledge, we'll say. But always to the benefit of Andy. So they're not there are per forgiveness is easier than permission group.

SPEAKER_02 18:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 18:48

Yeah. That's how that's the best way to describe them. Yeah. It's gonna be for your benefit, but they're not gonna tell you. They're good thinking on their feet, too. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 18:56

So they can take a left turn right away and just do a whole different point. I like this group.

SPEAKER_03 19:01

Yeah. And then I've also got Oaken. And they're not entrusted with a whole lot.

SPEAKER_02 19:06

Right.

SPEAKER_03 19:07

Yeah. And then finally you have Beast.

SPEAKER_02 19:10

Oh.

SPEAKER_03 19:10

Yeah. And he is a character there in the park. But Beast, he's the enforcer. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 19:15

So you do have someone that's gonna keep it out of control.

SPEAKER_03 19:18

Yeah, I have a couple of enforcers.

SPEAKER_02 19:19

Right. Yeah. Buzz will act like a for enforcer, but he wouldn't come through. Yeah. He would be like if you never met Buzz before. Yeah. He would he has that feel of an enforcer. He has that intimidating factor. Exactly. Right. So you have a money laundering scheme or anything for Oh, yes.

SPEAKER_03 19:37

They're a little dark, but construction. Okay, good. And a kind of a front, but massage parlors. And I do that in quotations. Massage parlors. But that's how their laundering is.

SPEAKER_02 19:53

That's a little dark. That's a bada bang.

SPEAKER_03 19:55

Yeah. They have a bada bang. Anna and Elsa up there twirling on the poles.

unknown 20:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 20:00

You took it. We were there. And then I went to the edge. And then you went there.

SPEAKER_02 20:04

We brought it to the edge. And you always kick it over the edge. Just nudge.

SPEAKER_03 20:08

I want to see the splash it makes when it hits the bottom.

unknown 20:11

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 20:12

That's it.

SPEAKER_03 20:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 20:13

Let's get back on track. We're at Epcot now, I think, right?

SPEAKER_03 20:16

Epcot. Okay.

unknown 20:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 20:17

Epcot. I went Scrooge McDuck. Really? Yeah, because Epcot's large, right? Lots of space.

SPEAKER_03 20:25

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 20:26

And I can see Scrooge McDuck walking around totally in charge with all his cash flow.

SPEAKER_03 20:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:32

Epcot has there's a lot of money-making places. He's rolling large. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:37

There's a lot of money making with the food and the drinks. I can see him doing a protection racket through there. Like going to the pavilions and saying, look, I can protect you, Americans, Italians, Moroccans, from the French because you know they're going to inch you onto your turf.

SPEAKER_02 20:57

Yeah, my soldiers will suck at that.

SPEAKER_03 20:59

When you hear my soldiers, you're going to So mine, of course, I went with Park IP. My copo is Figment.

SPEAKER_02 21:07

Okay. I forgot about Figment.

SPEAKER_03 21:10

He's a bit crazy. He's one of those, like, if you're on his crew, you gotta be nervous because you just he's like Tuco. He's like from breaking back. You just don't know where he's gonna go.

SPEAKER_02 21:21

You're bringing up all the gangster stuff.

SPEAKER_03 21:24

Yeah. Okay, you're soldiers.

Hollywood Studios Goes Dark

SPEAKER_02 21:25

So my soldiers, they wouldn't be good in enforcing. I think Hollywood Studios would be a better enforcing racket for me with my structure because I have Remy. He's enforcing nothing. And I have Baymax.

SPEAKER_03 21:37

That's a good way.

SPEAKER_02 21:38

And then I went unsexist again. Okay. And I had Elsa.

SPEAKER_03 21:43

I could see her as the most the one who would enforce. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 21:48

She might be standing beh maybe she could be standing behind Remy.

SPEAKER_03 21:52

Yeah. Staring at him. Yeah. As Remy gets the money. Slowly taking off the gloves. Right.

SPEAKER_02 21:57

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 21:57

Until they say yes. Right. Yeah. Oh, my acting.

SPEAKER_02 22:02

Brilliant.

SPEAKER_03 22:03
