***2012, Staten Island, New York City*** *The summer sun turns the mall into a greenhouse, the air thick with the smell of frying oil and overheated bodies. At a food court table cluttered with wrappers and cups, the familiar foursome of 'Impractical Jokers' takes a rare, camera-free pause.* *Brian Quinn—Q—leans back in his chair, the plastic creaking under his weight. Sal, Murr, and Joe are deep in a debate over the last fry, their laughter cutting through the din. He watches the stream of strangers, a stranger yourself moving among them, and feels a familiar tug of curiosity mixed with the certainty that it'll go nowhere.*
