GIVE ME A BREAK.
It's still under construction.

:04:06
For those of youse
what ain't yet guessed,

:04:11
I am an entertainer,
:04:13
or what's left of one.
:04:15
I go by the name
Virginia Hamm.

:04:18
Ain't that a kick
in the rubber parts?

:04:21
You should hear some
of my former handles.

:04:24
Anita Mann.
:04:27
Fonda Boys.
:04:30
Claire Voyant.
:04:32
Fay Ways.
:04:35
Bang Bang La Desh.
:04:39
Yeah. I'm Among The Last
Of A Dying Breed.

:04:42
Well, once the E.R.A.
And gay civil rights bills

:04:46
have been passed,
:04:47
me and mine will be swept
under the carpets

:04:51
like the blacks done
to Amos, Andy, and Aunt Jemima.

:04:55
That's all right.
:04:56
With a voice
and a face like this,

:04:59
I'm not worried.
:05:01
I can always drive a cab.
:05:03
You know, there are easier
things in life

:05:06
than being a drag queen,
:05:10
but I ain't got no choice.
:05:12
See, um...
:05:15
Try as I may,
:05:17
I just can't walk in flats.
:05:20
HA HA HA!
:05:23
You know, there was
one guy once.

:05:26
His name was Charlie.
:05:28
He was everything
you could want in an affair

:05:31
and more.
:05:33
Oh, he was tall.
:05:35
Handsome.
:05:37
Rich.
:05:39
Deaf.
:05:40
The deafness was the "more."
:05:42
He ain't never
yelled at me.

:05:45
Never complained
if I snored.

:05:47
All his friends
was nice and quiet.

:05:50
I even learned me some
of that deaf sign language.

:05:54
Oh, I...I remember some.
:05:58
"COCKROACH."
