We drank our drinks while he worked on looking more like Matt Dillon to me.
I imagine somewhere there had been an advertisement:
“Barman required for regular bar work.
Experience unnecessary.
Must resemble Matt Dillon.”
There may have been a number of successful applicants.
We were all much younger then, of course.
“We were all much younger then, of course.”
Don’t you think the barman looks like Matt Dillon?
“The barman looks like Matt Dillon.”
