Escalator escalator escalator escalator. I don't even see how this is a question.

Escalators are fancy stairs. Elevators all the way.

Escalators can't break, they can only temporarily become stairs.

Also, elevators stole the word 'elevate', while escalators gave us the word 'escalate'.

UniverseZero would rather be stuck in a rising stinkbox than an amusement ride.

Multi-Exclamatory would rather travel much more slowly and at an un-direct trajectory to the one desired to go.

ALSO, ELEVATOR MUSIC. WE WOULD NOT HAVE THAT WITHOUT ELEVATORS.

Inclined moving walkways all the way. I love running down them when I was a kid, and I still do, although the opportunities to do it now are much more scarce.

He's referring to the bristles that are on the sides of escalators. You know, the ones that peasant non-elevator-users use. Those things are disgusting and I wouldn't put my shoes anywhere near them.
