And I won't tell you if I did or not. --Mike Cassidy delivers a monologue by someone else: horrifying yet beautiful; great, subtle facial expressions by Cassidy along the lines of Greta Garbo (who is also my girlfriend). the image of the poor fat kid falling in the bathtub full of acid was just wonderful.)
