I am, sir! And you are a dribbling cretin!
Very nice to make your acquaintance.
How's the family?

Oh yeah, what about your stereo equipment? The happiest
thing in the world would be if it didn't deteriorate and
turn into one of those toy Chinese Karaoke junk heaps--Have 
you tried listening to Brahms's symphonies on that?!?!?

Translation: They'll jack up the price for the same old crap.

Because all that bowling racket is making me cringe (and
shut my eyes tight). Will somebody answer that damn phone!

Even if we just lie on the beach the future'll still be
getting closer... and closer... it's like Frankenstein.

... the best of all possible futures being one in which
we win all our wars... Are you Saddam Hussein, by any chance?

Could you put that in the form of an answer?

Sounds like we slipped back in time to...
the pre-World War One world? Darn, I must have missed 
the temporal transition again: I really shouldn't drink
Vodka by the pitcher, I guess... lemme put the pitcher
closer to first base.

Let's get rid of the police departments right now!
You and I can run through the streets in the nude
chanting, "Aghhhhhhhhhh!" Just like in the good ole days:
Blithering Idiot and Dribbling Cretin Together Again!
People loved that. (Didn't I marry your sister? Big, ugly, 
professional weight-lighter-looking, balding blond with
a detachable brain...)

Last time I did running like this those damn cops came after me
playing Al Hirt's "Green Hornet." Must be like that now for 
bin Laden on his mule out in the desert dodging U.S. planes 
& bombs--Loved that Al Hirt (think he's dead now--Al Hirt, 
not bin Laden). Bicho malo no se muere (that's Cuban for
"Some sonnababitches ya gotta kill cause they just don't die 
on their own"). I think Fidel Castro also fits the description.

The world dreams?! What about all those people who dream of 
incinerating Europe and the U.S. ... don't their dreams count?
nine, eight, seven, six, five, four... and the rest.

Who wouldn't? Death, destruction! Mass extinctions, pin-point
murders, brass-knuckles to the chin, and kids tripping old people
as they pass---It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! It'll 
be better than 3-D television! And I won't have to fiddle with 
those damn VCR settings! Hoorah for the bloody future, say eye!
