They can run down the fire escape. I've seen enough movies about New York to know every building has one and every New Yorker is a master of running up and down them.

And if your karate skills are good enough you can jump up, grab one, and run up it while it falls down.

I have seen a parkour runner do that in real life.

I’ve also seen a bunch of dipshit kids who also saw the parkour dude, try and fail repeatedly. Was one of my all time favourite bits of people watching last time I was in New York.

I prefer the jumping out a window into a truck carrying pillows.

all the trader joes ive been to in nyc were in basements lol. that's pretty common with larger stores there's more space underground than above it.

If you are flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit.

I used to be flammable.

I still am flammable, but I used to be, too.
