Or could it be that you're just a little bit worried that you may have missed the boat?

But let me tell you something.

With my personality and this head of hair, you know what I am now?

You know I just thought of something.

Well what about me?

No I think he's got you beat buddy.

Hey, I know what we can do.

Maybe I can get him to draw a picture of her for you.

Well why don't you take off your hat and stay awhile.

That's an interesting question.

She's bald? She's bald, Jerry!

It was like I was looking at myself in the mirror.

Let me tell you something.

No I'm not. I WAS bald.
