- Oh shit, it's the self-esteem dude. Here, look right.
- What's he doing?
- Oh, he's fishing.
- What should I do?
- You better think of something to say....
- Okay, let me see...
- Oh, it's going to be a tough day. Word is he's been wearing the same outfit all week.
- What should I do?
- Follow my lead.
- (approaching on bicycle) Who's the friend?
- Oh, he's no one. He ain't got no sense.
- That's right, I'm the only one what got some sense.
- He's measly, he's empty.
- I'm just measly and empty, sir.
- Don't talk to him.
- Don't talk to me unless you got something positive to say, kid. You know, I used to be like him, your friend.
- Oh, he's not my friend.
- Didn't know how to put on a good shirt. Well? You got something for me?
- You would get a 5 in any school.
- (looking around) Not bad, I'll take it...and I'll crumple it up--
- Uh oh...
- Put it in my pocket, kiss it at night.
- Phew...
- What else you got for me? You weren't here last week--
- Oh, my mother was sick.
- Don't care, it hurt my self-esteem. Thought you would revitalize my day.
- I'm sorry, I'll make it up--
- (looking around) Came 'round here asking for you and everything. All I got were smiles. Had no choice but to smile back.
- I had to go with her to the hospital.
- Revitalize her colon, huh? Should have talked about me, at least. It would have been the right thing to do.
- I know.
- A guy like me? You'd have plenty to say.
- She showed me a picture, it was gross.
- What about my jeans?
- You're going to make them grossly popular.
- (looking around) Probably name a shoe after me and everything, huh?.
- Oh yea...
- Don't need to answer, I got that one earlier, got it locked inside my heart.
- Can't I take credit for it, square up with you?
- Not unless you want to say it again, I'll embrace it warmly, maybe help someone afterwards.
- Probably name a shoe after you, they will!
- What about your friend, he good for anything?
- Aw he ain't good for nothin' but a compliment or two.
- Guess he's gonna make my day, I'll take 'em both. Well, let's hear it...
- Tell him something sweet, you jerk!
- Well hurry up, I got a standing appointment at 4.
- Compliment him, don't be mean!
- Tell him to lose the mean streak.
- Go, you fool!
- Uhh...you look like an old man riding a bicycle?
- Uh-oh.
- What'd he say?
- He didn't say nothin!
- A smart tender old man--only you can ride a bicycle and look like you're thinking so smartly!
- Wow.
- Phew!
- What's your name, kid?
- Mine?
- No, the name of the dude invented my silky smooths.
- Tell him your name!
- Eggbert Roscoe, sir.
- All right, all right. Let me tell you something, Eggbert. You put together what came from your heart, keep your mouth shut and look around...
- The spirit of others don't have to die, sir. We can keep it with us.
- With the proper attire, Eggbert, one day you can feel like me--who's that? I gotta go.
- What's he doing?
- Oh, he's fishing.
