Should you ever meet me, you will know who I am. I sound like me when I talk. I talk like this. I talk like a gangster in a James Cagney movie. I look like one, too.

Right out of central casting.

I’ve been hanging out with a “non-traditional family.” I wouldn't have given it any thought if they hadn’t felt the need to bring it to my attention. I have seen Family Affair. I do dress like Mr. French.

It takes a pregnant pause to break the mood of ennui.
