You're stupid.
So help me God, you're stupid.



I'm stupid? You can't even say a decent
"Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."



All you do is say, "Peter Piper picked
a peck of pickled poopers."



Well, that doesn't make any sense.



I dream ofJeannie, Peter Piper...



laughing, dancing,
having a good time.



Does it begin to come back to you?



Oh, you're such a child.



I am not a child.
You're a... You're a lousy dancer.



- You oughta take lessons.
- Well, I took dances.



You know, you have a tin ear too.
You can't even carry a tune.



But last night you danced
and you sang and you just let it all go...



and didn't we have a good time?



You liked making love to me, didn't you?



- Yes, I did.
- So, you see, there. That's good, isn't it?



And you... you enjoyed
my company too, didn't you?



I enjoyed your company.



And you said that you trusted me,
didn't you?



Yes, I did.



And you thought Peter Piper
was pretty important last night, didn't you?



- Didn't you?
- Yes, I did.



You see? I'm always right.
[Raspberry]



I listened to your demented
dialogue too, didn't I?



- Yes, you did.
- And I thought you were crazy, didn't I?



But I made love to you,
and I held you in my arms all night.



And if you'd been out in the street last night,
they'd have had you committed. Wouldn't they?



Right?



I suppose so.



You son of a gun.



How come you hate me now?



Jeannie...



do me a favor?



Don't be silly anymore.



Just be yourself.



But I am myself.



Who else would I be?



I'm serious.



Definition of"serious."

Blah, blah, blah, blah.

Only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible be found in us
