When I was younger, just a bad little kid/My mama noticed funny things I did/Like shooting puppies with a BB gun/I’d poison guppies, and when I was done/I’d find a pussycat and bash in its head/That’s when my mama said… She said, “My boy, I think someday/You’ll find a way/To make your natural tendencies pay/You’ll be a dentist!/You have a talent for causing things pain/Son, be a dentist/People will pay you to be inhumane/Your temperament’s wrong for the priesthood/And teaching would suit you sill less/Son, be a dentist/You’ll be a success!”

It’s sad, when a mother has to speak the words that condemn her own son. But I couldn’t allow them to believe that I would commit murder. They’ll put him away now, as I should have years ago. He was always bad, and in the end he intended to tell them I killed those girls and that man… as if I could do anything but just sit and stare, like one of his stuffed birds. They know I can’t move a finger, and I won’t. I’ll just sit here and be quiet, just in case they do… suspect me. They’re probably watching me. Well, let them. Let them see what kind of a person I am. I’m not even going to swat that fly. I hope they are watching… they’ll see. They’ll see and they’ll know, and they’ll say, “Why, she wouldn’t even harm a fly…”

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Max Schreck, who will be portraying our vampire, Count Orlock. As you no doubt have heard, Max’s methods are somewhat… unconventional, but… I am sure you will come to respect his artistry in this matter.

Sister, I, uh, I understand your legal problem, but you must try to understand mine. You see, I’m trying to bring two families together, and this is the first sign that I may be succeeding. So I really would appreciate it if you’d let Phillip sign his name Beardsley.
