"Sam, meet Marilyn Monroe.  Isn't she lovely?"

"Gene, that's not Marilyn Monroe."

"Yes, it is.  Look at her.  She's all curvy."

"She's dead, Gene."

"Bollocks.  She sings 'Happy birthday, Superintendent' to me every night."

"In your dreams!"

"Yeah, in me dreams, just like you are now."

"'Superintendent'?"

"Well it's me own dream."

"Gene, you have to choose, you know."

"She's sweet, but you give me the horn."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

"Say goodbye, Marilyn."

"Farewell, my sugar daddy.  Kissy, kissy."

"She's gone now, Gene."

"Will you sing 'Happy Birthday, Superintendent'?"

"No, but I'll give you a blow job."

"You'll do."
