(LAUGHS) - You like being a dancer, Josie?
- (LAUGHS) - Best way I know how to keep warm.
- You like making people laugh? Can't hardly stop them with the face I got. Well, how about I take you
off the end of that line, give you your own comedy spot? You mean it? If little David could use his harp
to make the angels cry, I meant to make them laugh
till I had enough to eat and enough clothes for at least two changes. (MEN SINGING)
