Something wrong with the clip?

I saw you arrive with those three Interzone boys. What an entrance. You all looked very... familiar with each other.

Queer. A curse. Been in our family for generations. The Lees have always been perverts. I shall never forget the unspeakable horror that froze the lymph in my glands when the baneful word seared my reeling brain - I was a homosexual. I thought of the painted simpering female impersonators I'd seen in a Baltimore nightclub. Could it be possible I was one of those subhuman things? I walked the streets in a daze like a man with a light concussion. I would've destroyed myself. And a wise old queen - Bobo, we called her - taught me that I had a duty to live and bear my burden proudly for all to see. Poor Bobo came to a sticky end - he was riding in the Duke Devanche's Hispano Suissa when his falling hemorrhoids blew out of the car and wrapped around the rear wheel. He was completely gutted leaving an empty shell sitting there on the giraffe skin upholstry. Even the eyes and the brain went with a horrible "shlupping" sound. The Duke says he would carry that ghastly "shlup" with him to his mausoleum.

I've seen you around,
but I had no idea you were queer.
- Queer. - I saw you arrive
with those three Interzone boys.
What an entrance.
You all looked very...
familiar with each other.
Queer.
A curse.
Been in our family for generations.
The Lees have always been perverts.
I shall never forget
the unspeakable horror
that froze the lymph in my glands
when the baneful word seared
my reeling brain...
I...
was a homosexual.
I thought of the painted,
simpering female impersonators
I had seen in a Baltimore nightclub.
Could it be possible
I was one of those subhuman things?
I walked the streets in a daze
like a man with a light concussion.
I would have destroyed myself.
But a wise old queen...
Bobo, we called her.
Taught me that I had a duty
to live and to bear
my burden proudly for all to see.
Poor Bobo came to a sticky end.
He was riding in
the Duc de Ventre's Hispano-Suiza
when his falling hemorrhoids
blew out of the car
and wrapped around the rear wheel.
He was completely gutted,
leaving an empty shell
sitting there
on the giraffe-skin upholstery.
Even the eyes and the brain went
with a horrible "schlupping" sound.
The duke says he will carry
that ghastly schlup with him
to his mausoleum.
You sound as if you could use
a drink.
My place?
A drink.
A drink?
No.
No, I can't. I gotta go home.
I have a... I have a...
I have a report to write.
Excuse me.

Summary: Blank-faced bug killer Bill Lee and his dead-eyed wife, Joan, like to get high on Bill's pest poisons while lounging with Beat poet pals. After meeting the devilish Dr. Benway, Bill gets a drug made from a centipede. Upon indulging, he accidentally kills Joan, takes orders from his typewriter-turned-cockroach, ends up in a constantly mutating Mediterranean city and learns that his hip friends have published his work -- which he doesn't remember writing.
