The guy that puts money in the jukebox and boogies away looks very much like a cast member from Carnival of Souls. And so does KLS with all that eye make-up.
In my notes, I instantly dubbed him "The Strange Bopper". As opposed to the Big one. In profile while walking away and snapping fingers to the non-beat, he looked like a young Anthony Perkins to me, only thinner. That record sounded as if it featured a tuba, at first. The guy is either the scariest in Collinsport, child molester material, or the most interesting character in town, with a lot of strange, obscure books and records. Maybe a science-fiction fan. Or a Man in Black. We see him again passing behind Sam and Maggie's table, wringing his hands strangely.
[spoiler]Joe's girlfriend transition begins. By the end, he's Maggie's boyfriend without knowing it yet. In how many bars for how many decades have fans done the Collins Family of Collinsport drinking game? I'm going to guess it's an old tradition by now, though I know little about fandom. Was the next record "Begin the Beguine"? Nice scene in the bar, nice beginning to Maggie/Joe.[/spoiler]
It was funny seeing Roger say "Hello, Evans", then sit there uncomfortably waiting for Sam to provide the excuse for a private conference.
