INT. DAY. SOUL FOOD RESTAURANT KITCHEN. MATT "GUITAR" MURPHY is working at the grill. As he works, MRS. MURPHY enters.

Both of them are ELCOR.

MRS. MURPHY
Annoyed: We've got two jive-ass honkeys out here dressed like they're Hasidic diamond merchants.

MATT "GUITAR" MURPHY
Puzzled: What?

MRS. MURPHY
Exasperated: They look like they're with the CIA or something.

MATT "GUITAR" MURPHY
Thoughtful: What do they want?

MRS. MURPHY
Incredulous: The human wants a piece of white toast. Dry. With nothing on it.

MATT "GUITAR" MURPHY
With dawning realization: Shepard.

MRS. MURPHY
Even more incredulous: And the asari wants four whole fried chickens and a Coke.

MATT "GUITAR" MURPHY
Delighted: And Liara.

MRS. MURPHY
Disgusted: Shit. They still owe you money, fool.

In the interest of full disclosure, the best part about this image may in fact not be the image itself (although I wouldn't bet against it, because elcor are always worth it), but the fact that it leads inevitably to the thought of Shepard and Liara marauding their way through the fancy restaurant where Garrus "Mr. Fabulous" Vakarian now works as maître d', trying to get him fired so that he'll rejoin the band.

LIARA
How much for the women?

BANKER
Wh-what?!

LIARA
The women. Your wife, the little girl. How much? (She leers at him.) Sell me your children.

GARRUS
(pleading)
Come on, you guys, you can't eat here. The soup is fucking ten credits. And it'll probably kill you.

SHEPARD
We're putting the band back together, Garrus. We're on a mission from God.

There is only "open fire" and "I need to reload".

What was that feeling again?
Oh yes.

Well done for making me read this in FemShepard's Voice Doing Dan Aykroyd.

Liara: No, I didn't. Honest... I ran out of dilithium. I... I had hyperdrive malfunction. I didn't have enough money for the jump gate. My space suit didn't come back from the cleaners. The Lovely Angels came in from out of town. Someone stole my starship. There was an earthquake. A Ragnarok. Tribbles! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!

Please tell me this goes on to a musical number.

"Insincere endorsement: You have not heard Aretha Franklin until you have heard her in the voice of Elcor."

So, Aretha Franklin died the other day, and it suddenly occurred to me that, out of all the speaking-role Blues Brothers cast members in this scene, the only one left now is Dan Aykroyd. (Lou Marini is still alive, but I can't remember if he had any actual lines in the movie.)

And that, in turn, prompted me to go and look for the post I could have sworn existed from when Matt "Guitar" Murphy died back in June, so that I could make note of it; but this thread was the only search result from his name.

Snarfing hot oatmeal through your nose, while effective at clearing your sinuses like NOTHING else, is not advised.
