25 But I read the aCliff Notes.
26 bThat's not so bad for six in the morning,
27 cAnd it's all on film.

CHAPTER 28
1 Sometimes when everybody was all tired out from tramping through all the different dneighborhoods in Philadelphia, Harry would hole up in the hotel suite,
2 And invite eMarisa over,
3 Who was staying in a separate suite,
4 Because even though she fliked Harry,
5 gShe said she didn't trust him,
6 And personally, I don't think she ever even put out for him,
7 Which has to be some kind of a record,
8 For hHarry,
9 Because he still iliked her,
10 And she always laughed when he did blackout tapes,
11 Which is what I was getting to,
12 Because when he holed up in the suite, Harry would just make little wisecracks,
13 Sometimes with a prop or two,
14 And then they'd fade to black,
15 And do the next one.
16 Harry used to call it his jBumper Bible,
17 kAnd said he had to anticipate the attention span of the future,
18 Whatever that meant.
19 But the blackouts were funny,
20 And it was nice to just sit there and get wasted,
21 While Harry and the camera guys did all the work.

CHAPTER 29
1 lFor example, Harry did a blackout where he held up a sign saying 'Equl Rihgtes for the ilitareate,'
2 And then he looked into the camera and said, I am dead serious about whatever it says on this sign.

CHAPTER 30
1 Harry did another blackout where he made a halo for himself with a white wire coathanger,
2 mAnd then said into the camera, I am the Way and the Life. Whoever follows my way shall get a free coupon for rhinoplasty,
3 Someday.
4 Even Marisa couldn't figure that one out.

CHAPTER 31
1 Harry did another blackout where he made up a big poster, with a bunch of line items and check boxes,
2 And then he borrowed some horn-rimmed eyeglasses from somebody and turned into the camera, saying,
