:50:00
I TRIED DIETS
AND DRILLS?

:50:04
AND I SWALLOWED
SOME PILLS?

:50:06
THAT MADE ME
A MANIAC?

:50:09
I HAD GRAPEFRUIT
AND BROWN RICE?

:50:11
AND SOYBEANS TO BOIL?
:50:14
I ATE SEAWEED AND PARSL
AND PEANUTS?

:50:17
NO OIL?
:50:18
I EXERCISED MY FLABBY THIGHS
AND WRAPPED THEM IN FOIL?

:50:25
I LOST SOME WEIGHT?
:50:27
BUT EVERY SINGLE
BLOODY TIME?

:50:29
THE POUNDAGE RETURNED
TO THE SCENE OF THE CRIME?

:50:34
AND THEN
I TOOK IT ALL OFF?

:50:35
AS EASILY AS
WHEN YOU HAVE A COLD?

:50:37
YOU COUGH?
:50:39
[COUGHING]
:50:44
WHERE DID I BEGIN?
:50:46
HOW DID I ATTAIN
THE GORGEOUS SHAPE?

:50:49
THAT I'M IN?
:50:51
AAH...
:50:59
I PUKE?
:51:02
SO DISCREETLY?
:51:03
I DON'T MAKE A SOUND?
:51:06
I PUKE?
:51:09
AFTER DINNER,
I'M NEVER AROUND?

:51:13
IT DOESN'T REEK
OF POLITESSE?

:51:19
IT'S NOT THE NICEST THING,
I GUESS?

:51:22
BUT IT TIGHTENS MY BELT?
:51:26
AND IT MAKES ME
FEEL SVELTE?*

:51:29
Exactly what I need.
:51:32
Hi. You saw me
in the audience,
right?

:51:35
Every queen saw in Harlem
YOU in the audience.

:51:38
You were terrific.
:51:39
A little weird,
but different.

:51:41
Hello? I'm another person
in the world.

:51:44
Hi. I hope you don't
mind me saying so,

:51:48
but I prefer you
in men's clothes.

:51:51
Well, thanks
for dropping by.

:51:53
I brought you
something.

:51:55
I couldn't help
noticing that
you liked them.

:51:58
That was really
sweet. Thanks.
