Wronged
-So you need a wronged woman? I got one! Deepest hurt for
the ladies. And then endless homicidal rage for the more
vicious segment of them.
-I'll call the agent of this...?
-Laurie. Nothing like her on the planet. Scares the shit outa me
just looking at her.
-Sounds perfect.
-Uh...I just thought, unfortunately. I'm afraid she recently ruled herself out.
-Stop it! How could...?
-She became a Larry.
-Sex change operation?
-The whole meghilla. So, if you need a wronged man someday,
that inner drive to murder translates easily enough.
-Call in one of the lazy-ass writers!
-Interesting move. Flip the script from girl to guy.
-No problem-o! But I'm thinking deeper this instant. Wronged both
as woman and man! In fact...perhaps not by external people at all.
-The whole searing drama played inside Larry-Laurie?
Jekyll and Helen?
-I'm sniffing Academy Awards!
-At least one of those genius ones for you.
-“I’d like to thank...nobody.” It’s a lonely life.
