START: At a Mardi Gras ball some – some boy that took me to it got too drunk to stand up! [A short, mirthless note of laughter.] I wanted to go home. My coat was in the cloakroom, they couldn’t find the check for it in his pockets. I said, ‘Oh, hell, let it go!’ – I started out for a taxi.
[...]
END: Well … if you’re still alive after dying, well then, you’re obedient, Doctor. – I got up. He took me downtown to a place for passport photos. Said: ‘Mother can’t go abroad with me this summer. You’re going to go with me this summer instead of Mother.’
