Junior from Santa Fe would freak out in a power outage, hates using candles for light
WILDCAT: What would you do if all of a sudden, this entire place lost power and went black?
WORCESTER: (silent).
WILDCAT: Would you freak out, like run out, grab the purse and your sandwich and be all, "Oh my God, it's the second coming?"
WORCESTER: I would probably walk out.
WILDCAT: Because that actually happened today. This whole place (the union) went completely black.
WORCESTER: Did it?
WILDCAT: Wait, let me get my facts straight here. Is that right?
PHOTOGRAPHER: Yeah, I think so.
WILDCAT: Wow, I'm scared just being in here. So you said you'd freak out?
WORCESTER: Yeah, I'd kind of freak out a little bit.
WILDCAT: Do you always get kind of scared when the power goes out?
WORCESTER: When what?
WILDCAT: When the power goes out at your house?
WORCESTER: I do. Well once it went out for like a couple hours and I had to get ready. It was really hard to do that with candles.
WILDCAT: That's what drives me crazy is the whole candle light thing. It's like a flash back to the 1800s. You're all, "Let's read books ÷ no, the Bible ÷ by candle light and go to bed early." Anyway, where are you from?
WORCESTER: Santa Fe, New Mexico.
WILDCAT: How often do you lose power out there?
WORCESTER: Not as often as here.
WILDCAT: Santa Fe to me doesn't seem like a place to lose power too much. For some reason it reminds me of steak sauce.
WORCESTER: Yeah, we've got a lot of things named after the city ÷ cars, streets ·
WILDCAT: Do you have anything called Santa Fe?
WORCESTER: No.
WILDCAT: I mean there's nothing named after Tucson, except this horrible show that I think was cancelled. Did you know about that?
WORCESTER: No I didn't.
WILDCAT: Ugh, it was absolutely horrid.
