Benny, have a seat. No you may not. Keep it on. Benny, why did you disturb those men today? Which men? You know who we’re talking about, Benny.1 That’s right, Messrs. Carter and Combs, very good.
Now, Benny, we’ve talked about this — about the character. But certain men deserve respect, even from a character, don’t you think? Benny! You put that mask back on! I don’t wanna see your face right now, I am not in the mood!
Benny, Messrs. Carter and Combs are close personal friends of Mr. Reinsdorf. You know what that means, Benny? It means that when you wag your ass in front of these guys, I hear about it. You think I enjoy getting a call from Big Jerry about this bullshit? Benny, let me ask you a question. Were you drunk, Benny? You must have been drinking to pull a stunt like that. Tell me, were you drunk?
Yeah, I was drunk…
I’m gonna breathalyze you on Saturday, Benny. I’m gonna breathalyze you before every basketball quarter for the next month. Because it’s my ass, Benny. We run a fun, friendly, respectful show. This is family entertainment here, son. Now you’re going to write letters to Messrs. Carter, Combs, and two to Jerry R. to tell them how sorry you are for your actions tonight.
Yes, sir.
- Benny used to be played by Barry Anderson. With such similar names, mascot and maskee lost any individual distinction in the Bulls organization even before the events of July 2, 2006.
