You're an actor? Might I have read something you wrote?
Can I have your autogram on your phonograph?
I saw him lose it the other night.
His comic timing and sense of character was usually impeccable.
But there was this woman, or young lady, if you will, in the audience the other night.
She was watching intently, as if she was studying him.
We don't know, but we think that maybe she was deaf, as she seemed focused on his mouth.
Since he is into physical business as part of his shtick, he was a bit irritated, so he started doing things with his back to the audience that involved his hands and legs.
He couldn't help himself.
He kept peeking over his shoulder at her.
Everytime he peeked, there were her eyes.
Finally, he lost it. Just lost it and collapsed in a set chair.
The rest of the cast had to work around him.
Then the scene was over and he looked for her.
She was gone.
Now he has a printout of her security scan taped to his wall.
He can get her address and phone number, but he's not sure that would be a good idea.
Besides, what would he say?
