Joey: NOW, THAT'S COOL.
Buddy: NOW, THAT IS SOMETHING ELSE.
WE GOT A CALL FROM THE PARK RANGERS
OVER AT THE STATUE OF LIBERTY,
AND THEY WANTED US TO MAKE A CAKE.
YOU KNOW,
THEY ASK YOU TO MAKE A CAKE FOR THE STATUE OF LIBERTY,
AUTOMATICALLY, YOU GOT TO MAKE THE STATUE.
THE PROBLEM WITH THE STATUE OF LIBERTY CAKE,
IT'S NOT THE WIDTH.
IT'S THE HEIGHT --
TO GET IT OUTDOORS, TO GET IT INTO TRUCKS.
YOU WOULD ONLY BE ABLE TO GO ABOUT 8 FOOT TALL.
IF I'M DOING SOMETHING FOR THE STATUE OF LIBERTY,
I'M GOING BIG OR I'M GOING HOME.
SO, YOU KNOW, THE ONLY THING THAT WE CAN DO
IS MAKE IT INTO TWO PIECES, MAKE THE BASE, MAKE THE STATUE.
SCREW IT ALL TOGETHER, AND IT'LL BE HUGE.

Mauro: YOU KNOW WHERE THE GUY WENT?
THE GUY WENT ALL OVER. THE GUY WENT TO NIAGARA FALLS.
HE WENT UP AND DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD,
I GUESS, LOOKING FOR A SPOT TO PUT THE STATUE.
THERE'S A PICTURE OF HIM AT NIAGARA FALLS.
THEY WERE GONNA PUT IT THERE.
EH, IT WOULDN'T HAVE WORKED.

TO COME BACK TO NEW JERSEY TO DO IT.
EXACTLY.
