Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone at home? Come on now, I hear you're feeling down. Well, I can ease your pain, get you on your feet again. Relax, I'll need some information first, just the basic facts. Can you show me where it hurts? There is no pain, you are receding...a distant ship’s smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a fever, my hands felt just like two balloons. Now I've got that feeling once again. I can't explain, you would not understand. This is not how I am, I have become comfortably dumb.
Okay, just a little pinprick, there'll be no more. Ah, but you may feel a little sick. Can you stand up? I do believe it's working...good. That'll keep you going through the show. Come on it's time to go.
Remember when political humor was possible? Remember when the free press was a respected institution? Remember when facts mattered? Remember when hope was alive?
Me too...
A real gem, one for the ages, watch with impunity.
