The story so far
Everything you need before watchingOnce the mask is on, Stanley turns into a green showman: he sprawls in traffic yelling look, ma, I'm road kill, then treats car horns as conversation. Asked for the time, he says as a matter of fact and counts two seconds before honking a nose and giving a wedgie. He even works the crowd: don't be shy, nobody likes a bashful leatherhead.
