He has a wonderful car?
1:25:04
The most wonderful car.
1:25:14
Enjoying the ride?
1:25:16
I'm wild about it, yes.
Thank you.
1:25:19
It's good to be wild sometimes.
1:25:23
You know, I have often thought of
that funny story you told me...
1:25:27
the first time we met on the beach.
1:25:29
The one about the Duc de Ventre.
1:25:32
At first I didn't know how to take it.
1:25:36
I thought you were
making a pass at me.
1:25:42
Did I ever tell you about the man
who taught his asshole to talk?
1:25:46
His whole abdomen would move up and down,
you dig, farting out the words.
1:25:52
It was unlike anything I ever heard.
1:25:54
Bubbly, thick, stagnant sound.
1:25:57
A sound you could smell.
1:25:59
This man worked for the carnival,you dig?
1:26:01
And to start with it was
like a novelty ventriloquist act.
1:26:04
After a while,
the ass started talking on its own.
1:26:07
He would go in
without anything prepared...
1:26:09
and his ass would ad-lib
and toss the gags back at him every time.
1:26:15
Then it developed sort of teethlike...
1:26:16
little raspy incurving hooks
and started eating.
1:26:21
He thought this was cute at first
and built an act around it...
1:26:23
but the asshole would eat its way through
his pants and start talking on the street...
1:26:27
shouting out it wanted equal rights.
1:26:29
It would get drunk, too, and have crying jags.
Nobody loved it.
1:26:34
And it wanted to be kissed,
same as any other mouth.
1:26:37
Finally, it talked all the time,
day and night.
1:26:39
You could hear him for blocks,
screaming at it to shut up...
1:26:44
beating at it with his fists...
1:26:46
and sticking candles up it, but...
1:26:49
nothing did any good,
and the asshole said to him...
1:26:51
"It is you who will shut up
in the end, not me...
1:26:54
"because we don't need you
around here anymore.
1:26:57
I can talk and eat and shit."
