If you don't mind, I'd like to talk to you for a little while tonight—something I want to say to you. I just don't know how to say it.

You don't seem to realize that if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be the star of The Marcus Review. I've sat up night after night, writing songs to put you on top, while I stayed in the background.

And another thing—I didn't want to tell you this, but you force me—your extravagance has got me crazy! Don't turn away—you're gonna hear it and like it!

New this, new that, and last week a new car! I'm in debt, I tell you! I owe everybody in town! Deep in debt!
