Me:  

“My errant psychology began at birth.  Doctor, insensitive Chinaman, yanked and yanked, then grabbed, like a homicidal maniac in Sing-Sing, my sensitive ankles.  Hanged me upside down like a rooster on a farm 15 miles outside Paris.  Slapped me on the ass.  I reached for a bottle of vodka.  Couldn’t find no vodka, so began to cry.  Chinaman doc freaked, chucked me onto mother’s chest.  I cried louder.  Momma say:  ‘Baby, Baby, Baby, why are you crying?’  Say I: ‘Momma, I can’t find no vodka.’  Say momma: ‘But, baby, you’re too young to drink.’  Say I: ‘Well, then, momma, can I please have two lines of cocaine?’  Me, real spiffy, drank whiskey at an early age.”

 Director:

“Take One.  Good goin’, guys.  Cut.”
