"So did the weather-man say whether it's going to rain"?

"My cousin died".

"I don't know. I was trying to listen, but...."

"The Monsters. I told you about the Monsters. I can't even talk about it. You know".

"The weather will be on again in a few minutes. Why do you have plans"?

"They were so terrible. Terrible monsters. The things they did.

"Did you see that movie we talked about"?

"No... but I did see..."

"And the things that they did to me. They were Jehovah's Witnesses, my parents. The Monsters. That's what I call them. You know. Do you want an egg"?

"I might go see the movie if the weather's gonna be bad, cuz I can't..."

"I won't ever do that. I hate religion. I would never do that. The Catholics were nice to me. They helped me with everything, not like the Monsters. I like to sing. Can I be in a movie"?

"Well, we'll see. If I can think of a part that you'd fit... "

"Cuz I did my hair. Nope, I'd never join a chorus to learn about singing. Not after what The Monsters did to me. That's what I call them. My poor cousin. Did I tell you about my cousin"? (Tears)

"Ahem"
