One morning, a group of suits and younger guys, blue button-down shirt guys, are standing around holding clipboards. Behind them, a new bar is going in. I'm thinking: investors and wunderkind owners. They're talking about the frat bar they will soon unleash onto the East Villagers.
They are looking at numbers. Beer numbers.

Suit says, "That's a helluva lot of beer."
Blue button-down replies, grinning snarkily, "Have you ever been down here at night, on the weekend? Down to Second Avenue? It's unbelievable. Heh-heh. You should come down. You gotta see it. It's incredible."
"It's just a helluva lot of beer."

I guess a lot of kids are drawn to college in NYC because of Wall Street.
So the Barf Boy / Hurl Girl carousing is just part of their quest to erase any trace of a conscience before they start their banking careers.
