CIRQUE
Forget the bread. Remember what happened in that pastry shop in Rome? He told the baker his crap was too expensive and he pulled out that survival knife he had strapped to his leg. Here’s your coffee. Cream -- sugar? Sure. Where’s the cream and sugar? In the freezer. The freezer? Yeah. Why the hell do you put the cream in the freezer? Sugar’s in there, too. Stand

(Opens the freezer) By God if it isn’t. Cream doesn’t go bad that way and it cools down the coffee.
You didn’t…did you?
Why the sugar?
What do you think?
That way it’s always with the cream and I can find it.
It’s possible.
That where your wife kept it?
I don’t know where the Hell it is. That’s why I put the sugar in the freezer with the cream. I could never find the goddamned Mickey Mouse sugar bowl. I never found out where she put it. It just seemed to appear whenever we had coffee or tea. Okay?
Hell no. She woulda gone nuts. Everything had its place. She kept the sugar in a little Micky Mouse bowl. You held on to Micky’s ears to take the cover on and off, twist it to close it tight, poured the sugar out of his mouth... Geeze... Where is that sugar bowl? I’d like to see it.
Whatever. Why are we doing this? What do you expect to accomplish? How the Hell did you find me after 50 years?
It’s gone. The internet. Where’d it go? I buried her with it, okay?
What the Hell am I doing on the internet? I’ve tried to keep a low profile.
