"I'm still angry that my hometown, Philadelphia, was named No. 1 in sticky surfaces."

Young Woman

"It's not surprising. Pittsburgh is where Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was taped, and that show alone pumped out over one million metric tons of carbon dioxide a year."

Asian Man

Alex Downie,
Antiques Restorer
"Well, it's better than being the snootiest. How d'ya like that, Greenwich, Connecticut?"
