Oh, I think they all enjoy the story, perhaps at least as much as they’d have enjoyed spending time with Vonnegut—who, I want to note, does a cameo in Rodney Dangerfield’s Back To School—and it would’ve been awesome if they ran into him all over the place, only to have him lie to them every time about being previously engaged.
