SS: It sure is good to be here in New York, New York.

GK: Did you come alone, Sue?

SS: No, I came with J.J. and Dede. On the choo-choo.

GK: You like New York?

SS: I go gaga here. It's so chi-chi. That rush rush. Yak yak. The brouhaha. The hubba hubba. It's a win win situation. I'm no dodo. Give me a pu-pu platter, I'm happy. Ho-hos. Ju ju bees. A Sen Sen. Maybe a bonbon. But no mahi mahi. That's a no-no. Makes me have to wee wee. Har har. Saw Gigi last night. With Bebe Neuwirth. A little frou frou for me. And the Goo-Goo Dolls. Duran Duran. My my. Saw ZZ Top with some go-go dancers doing the can-can in these Mau Mau muu-muus. Personally I'd prefer Bora Bora. Hint hint. But J.J.'s in AA now. He joined when he was in Sing Sing. He want mano a mano with this dumb-dumb from Walla Walla and sent him off to la la land. Ai yi yi. It was cuckoo. But que sera sera. Anyway, gotta run. Ta ta. Night night. Bye bye.
