I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman’s back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.

Ohhhhh-ho-ho! Well, go _ahead!_ But think about _this,_ Lorraine! Who’s gonna pay for all your liquor, huh? Or your jewelry? Who’s gonna pay for your cosmetic surgery, Lorainne?! […] Look, Lorraine, you walk out that door, and I won’t only cut off you-- I’ll cut off your kids. […] First your daughter Linda. I’ll cancel all her credit cards; she can settle her debts with the bank all by herself. Your idiot son, Dave? I’ll have his probation revoked. And as for _Marty…_ Well, maybe you’d just like all _three_ of your kids behind bars, just like your brother Joey. One big, happy, jailbird family.
