[CRAZY HANK] 40 to 60 years old; all ethnicities; man. The owner of a small truck stop in the middle of nowhere, who explains to the band, in no uncertain terms, just how stupid they are.

[GUY] 18 to 25 years old; all ethnicities; man. Standing in line at the record store with his girlfriend, waiting to meet Green Day.

[GIRL] 18 to 25 years old; all ethnicities; woman. A high school girl waiting in line at the record store to meet Green Day.

[SECURITY GUARD] 40 to 60 years old; all ethnicities; man. He is a parking lot security guard at the Palladium for the Green Day concert.
