MUMMY: I′m a mummy. I scare people. Watch what happens when I walk up to
Somebody.
I'm a mummy.
FIRST PERSON:
MUMMY: I was born one thousand nine hundred and fity-nine years ago. My
Daddy was a mummy, too. Watch what happens when I walk up to somebody.
I′m a mummy.
SECOND PERSON:
MUMMY: I don't try to scare people. I really came back to life to buy a
Copy of "Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb", but people run from me.
Watch what happens when I walk up to somebody.
I'm
A mummy.
THIRD PERSON:
MUMMY: I wish there was somebody somewhere who wasn′t afraid of me. Oh,
Well. Watch what happens when I walk up to somebody.
I′m a mummy.
BEATNIK: That's cool.
MUMMY: I′m a mummy.
BEATNIK: You mean you're a mother.
MUMMY: No, I′m a mummy.
BEATNIK: I'm a beatnik.
MUMMY: People are afraid of me.
BEATNIK: Yeah, I′ll bet.
MUMMY: I was born one thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine years ago.
BEATNIK: Oh, yeah, like that's a long gig.
MUMMY: Where can I buy a copy of "Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb"?
BEATNIK: Oooh, man, I don't dig that trash. You know like Brubeck,
Sherwin, modern jazz quartet?
MUMMY: I′m a mummy.
BEATNIK: Man, you got a warped groove.
MUMMY: Aren′t you afraid of me? Aren't you gonna scream?
BEATNIK: Oh, yeah, like "help."
