Shortly after Stan announces to the garaged neighborhood that doug 
has been found and is barely alive, L.A. says, as he looks toward the 
door leading into the house, "S'pose doug has any beer in his fridge? 
I'm building up a fierce thirst - all this waiting..."
    "Probably not," Stan says, "they keep a fair stock of wine, no 
beer. Trouble is, his wine cellar is," points toward the shaft, "down 
there."
    "How 'bout makin' a beer run?" L.A. asks, "I'm not goin'," points, 
"down there."
    B.J. answers,"I'll go with you," looks at how many people are in 
the garage, "we'll get a keg," and takes a few steps toward the 
opening of the shaft.  Affirms, "Damn, that's deep. Old doug's a 
productive son-of-a-gun, isn't he?"
    L.A. answers, "I never realized what a sansculotte he is, but I 
guess when you think about it, all that moonin' and his run-in with 
HomeRepairCo and his feud with Judge Dale,"  He pauses, then adds, 
"nice guy though."
    B.J. affirms, "nice guy, yeah, but he's no sansculotte, L.A.. 
Quirky, I'll give you that, and maybe a tiny bit rebellious, but..."
    L.A. pokes B.J. on the chest with his index finger, "I say he's a 
sansculotte and I don't need no damned oleaginous lawyer to tell me 
otherwise. His Dad's the same way - hiding from the IRS and that 
Florida Mob bunch..."
    B.J. makes his way toward the garage side door, argues, "Bullshit! 
Don't try to pull your strong-arm cop act on me. You're always making 
these wild-ass judgements about people..." Their argument continues 
but their voices fade out as they leave the crowded garage.

*sansculotte also sans-culotte (sanz-kyoo-LOT) noun; 1. An extreme 
radical republican during the French Revolution. 2. Any revolutionary 
with extremist views. [From French, literally, without knee breeches. 
In the French Revolution, this was the aristocrats' term of contempt 
for the ill-clad volunteers of the Revolutionary army who rejected 
knee breeches as a symbol of the upper class and adopted pantaloons. 
As often happens with such epithets, the revolutionaries themselves 
adopted it as a term of pride.]

*oleaginous (o-lee-AJ-uh-nuhs) adjective;  2. Marked by excessive and 
false earnestness; ingratiating. 1. Containing or producing oil; 
relating to oil. [From Middle English, from French oleagineux, from 
Latin oleaginus (of the olive tree), from olea (the olive tree).]

I dislike arguments of any kind. They are always vulgar, and often convincing.
