Just as he was being torn in half, he woke up to a simulation set in a restaurant he didn't know, with a family he didn't recognize. When Morty attempted to attack him, he used him as a human shield, effortlessly putting him wherever Rick attempted to aim to get his kill, but he didn't expect the window to shot. However, the Tickets Please Guy beat them, revealing that he had a well-defined set of muscles under his shirt and jacket. He arrived a second time, to which Rick and Morty demanded that he release them from the anthology. He was first seen asking the disguised Rick for his ticket, to which he handed it over and received his half of the ticket before he left. The Tickets Please Guy's job was to get the tickets of the Story Train's passengers, often replying in the quote that was his namesake. He had a well-built body under his shirt, though this is unknown whether or not he had it in the simulation. In his time-dialated nightmare, he wore a blue T-shirt and some khakis before he was cut in two. His attire consisted of a red jacket over a white shirt and tie, some black pants, black boots, white gloves, small glasses, and a conductor's hat.

The late LA artist Mike Kelly described the behavior of the Ivar's male audience members, “as if drugged in a dentist’s chair, the men sit frozen and immobile. In that split second of the camera's flash, we can see the men in the audience, their facial expressions, how they're sitting, where they're looking or not looking. On another level, what's intriguing is allowing photographs to be taken inside the club, it gives us an incredible look at an audience of voyeurs, normally protected by the cover of darkness. Some of them were good friends and used to shoot together, even following each other out to California. It was a time when these photographers were somewhat known but not on the level they are now and some were all part of a greater circle in New York City that also included Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlander and Tod Papageorge. drkrm is drawn to curating this exhibit for many reasons.

The Ivar was lewd and notorious in its day. The theatre changed hands frequently and, in the 1970’s, it eventually became a full-nudity strip joint - one of the last standing “Burlesk” houses in the United States.
