:08:01
for you to wear that?"
:08:05
"My Aunt Trudy,"
I replied.
:08:07
Just walked away.
Just walked away ladies and--
:08:09
- Hedwig, can we eat dessert?
- What is it? Yes, you can.
:08:12
I am thrilled,
:08:14
you can join me for
the fabulous first night
:08:16
of the St. Louis leg
of my world tour.
:08:20
And when it comes
to huge openings,
:08:22
a lot of people
think of me.
:08:24
Many more of you,
though,
:08:26
have only recently
become aware of me.
:08:31
It took a character
assassination piece like this
:08:34
to make you finally
pay attention.
:08:36
But now you're
interested, huh?
:08:39
Intrigued, even?
:08:41
How did some...
:08:43
slip of a girly-boy
from Communist East Berlin
:08:47
become the internationally
ignored song stylist
:08:51
barely standing
before you?
:08:54
That's what I want to talk about
tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
:08:56
I don't wanna talk
about sudden,
:08:58
undeserved
commercial success.
:09:01
I don't wanna talk
about betrayal,
:09:04
I don't wanna talk
about my lawsuit
:09:06
against a certain
rock and roll "icon,"
:09:10
Tommy Gnosis,
:09:13
who, by some freak
coincidence, is performing
:09:16
right next door
at Busch Stadium.
:09:21
And to whom I taught
everything he knows,
:09:23
and has apparently
forgotten,
:09:25
about rock & roll!
:09:28
Yes, this is
Phyllis Stein,
:09:30
manager of Hedwig
and the Angry Inch.
:09:32
I've been ho--
"Inch"! Not "Itch."
:09:34
Let me speak
to Brad, please.
:09:36
You know I've been holding
for 24 minutes?
:09:39
Yes, hi, Brad,
this is Phyllis.
:09:41
So what's going on
with Bilgewater's?
:09:44
You make
the baby cry.
:09:46
I heard the entire
chain's going under.
:09:50
Hold on,
hold on a second.
:09:51
- Hedwig!
- We can have a gig
:09:53
in any Bilgewater's nationwide
with a 24-hour notice?
:09:56
And they know what kind
of music we play?
:09:59
Brad, I love you.
