Harry:
Why, it must be! he's so charming and sweet and likeable!

Thing-fish:

peoples!

Harry-as-a-boy:
Hi, folks! nice to be here!

Thing-fish:
I's sure dere be lotsa folks like to know what yo' plans
are...how y'intend t'be gwine about dis uncredibly serious
bidniss o' growin' up in ermerica!

Harry-as-a-boy:
Well, i plan on making a few mistakes, having my heart broken
and so forth, using all kinds of drugs, and turning gay as soon
as possible in order to accelerate my rise to the 'top of the
heap'.

Thing-fish:
Ahh! tremenjous, harry-as-a-boy, simply tre- menjous! you
practicin' up fo it wit anybody in po-ticlar now?

Harry-as-a-boy:
I can't afford to study with anyone yet, since the bulk of my
allowance goes for glue and grateful dead tickets, but soon i
hope to be on my knees in a real homo bath house...maybe when my
folks
N vacation.

Thing-fish:
Ain't you de clever one! tell us, harry-as-a-boy, howdja recide
upon dis heah life-style bein' de one fo you?

Harry-as-a-boy:
It was pretty simple, really. i lost all desire for intercourse
with females when they started carrying those briefcases and
wearing suits 'n ties.

Rhonda:
What?

Harry-as-a-boy:
Let's face it: that would be like fucking a slightly more
voluptuous version of somebody's father! i'm far too sensitive
for such a traumatic experience!

Thing-fish:
You means de womens' libromation movenint done created de
uncontrollable urgement to play dingle-dangle-dingle wit de
personal requipment of yo own gender?

Harry-as-a-boy:
To a degree...i mean...look, i'm not stupid! i know it's all a
thoroughly workable government- sponsored program to control the
population explosion, and, just like every other american, i'm
too
Erned with my own personal health and well being to think of
devoting any of my precious time to something as boring as
'reproduction'!

Rhonda:
Harry, i used to think you were merely an over- educated
shit-head, but now that i finally have proof, it's going to give
me great pleasure to refer to you as an over-educated
cocksucker!

Harry:
Well, to be honest with you, dearest, i sort of ...gulp, gulp...

Rhonda:
Where's the fairies on a string, harry? huh? riddle me this!

Thing-fish:
Easy there, white folks! i told y'all'd be get- tin' yo' fairies
after while, 'n y'know dat sort o' thing take a little time to
woik up to in yo' broadway sitchyatium! mammys step faw'd 'n hep
