Stuck on You Page #2

I'm in need of a smile,

I'm sending a picture of me at work,

Hope you like it,

Yours, Bob,

I' m starting to cramp.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- How's the letter coming?

- Good.

Yeah, what do you got?

It's personal. You know,

I don't go nosing into your business.

I'm sorry.

Mind typing on your knees?

Okay.

Here we go. There you go.

Turn around.

- Shouldn't you study your lines?

- Not necessary. Locked and loaded.

Then help me stack the wood.

I can't. I could pull something.

It's a performance day.

Aren't you a little bit nervous?

What's a four-letter word for snatch?

Grab.

You're not even a little bit nervous?

What's there to be nervous about?

Well, you're up there in a one-man

show, in front of all those people.

You know, I'd be crapping myself.

It's my ninth year,

I think I'm just...

I feel like I'm over it, you know?

- I guess that's how you have to be.

- Well...

You're doing that blinking thing.

Are you gonna have a panic attack?

- No, I'm cool.

- Are you all right?

- You all right?

- No, I'm not gonna--

- I'm gonna--

- Oh, God. Take it easy.

- Calm down.

- I think I'm dying.

- I'm dying.

- You're not.

- Oh, God.

- You're having a panic attack.

- Come on. Take it easy.

- Get my bag.

Wait, I'm having an arrhythmia.

Here you go. Breathe into the bag.

Short breaths.

Concentrate on the breathing.

It's nine years in a row!

I don't want to go on-stage.

Why do I have to go on-stage

with you?

You're gonna be fine.

You're gonna be fine, all right?

You're gonna have fun tonight,

all right?

You're gonna have fun.

Any normal person with a normal sense

of self-preservation...

...would understand that

all an artist has is his life.

And what he observes

as he passes through his life.

And any serious writer hanging out

for years with the rich, well...

...my God, you'd have to be deluded

to the point of derangement...

...not to realize that that writer

was taking notes.

My God, I even told them.

They knew I was writing this book.

What did they think I was there for?

The intellectual stimulation?

The wit?

The spiritual uplift?

I brought the intellect

and the wit to the party.

Okay, okay, he's coming.

He's coming.

Bravo! Bravo!

- You were just wonderful!

- Thank you, Mim.

Yeah, Walt, you were great.

Bob, you sucked.

- Hey.

- Come on, Rocket, I'm not an actor.

So, what's up for next year?

- Oh, I don't know.

- Oh, come on, tell them the big idea.

- What is it?

- He wants to do a musical version...

- ...of Bonnie and Clyde.

- All right!

- You were awesome last night.

- Thanks.

Is everything all right?

You seem a little--

Remember when we were little and we

first found out we'd never be separated?
