I see. So, what you’re saying is that even though you are an almost paralyzed, multiphobic personality who is in a constant state of panic, your wife did not leave _you_; you left _her_ because she liked Neil Diamond?

Tim, let me tell you about my life in the Big Apple. I have Hamlet’s ghost on the phone for an hour every evening after rehearsal complaining that Polonius is sucking sourballs through his speeches. Claudius is off every afternoon doing a soap, and Gertrude is off the entire week doing a commercial for Gallo wine. Hamlet himself, would you believe, has come down with a psychological problem! Then, last night, Brooke rings me to say that she’s very unhappy here, and she’s got herself a doctor’s certificate for nervous exhaustion. I haven’t got the time to find and rehearse a new Vicky. I have just one afternoon, while Hamlet sees his shrink and Ophelia starts divorce proceedings, to “cure” Brooke of her nervous exhaustion. With no medical aids, except a little whiskey - you’ve got the whiskey - a few flowers - you’ve got money for the flowers - and a certain fading bedside manner. So, I haven’t come to the theater to hear about other people’s probelms. I’ve come to be taken out of myself, and preferably, not put back again.
