They call the midnight Popper

Transcript

They call me the midnight Popper. Well who cuts people's hair in the middle of the night? I do. They call me the midnight barber. Yeah, well that's an infringement of people's liberties. Is it? Yeah, so don't ever be doing that to me. I do do it to you. What? Who do you think cuts your hair, Einstein? My hair just doesn't grow very fast. What, you think it stays that length naturally? I'm in there in the night.
