Sample dialogue
People come into my room at night, they’re making a film of me. And doing ‘things’ to me with surgical instruments. But I’m lucky; nobody’s killed me. They respect patients with family. I’m a VIP here. The nurses are always cooing ‘Oh, when is Marilyn coming to see you, Gladys’ I say, ‘How should I know? I’m just her mother.’ They were asking about the baseball player, was Marilyn going to marry him; I said, ‘Go ask her yourself, it means so much to you. Maybe she’ll make you all bridesmaids.’
