Good morning!

Your hair!Oh, you like it?

Yeah.I asked the hairdresser,

I said I wanted to look like Eminem.

You succeeded. It looks awesome.

Thank you.

You want to go to Atlantic City with me today?

We have an extra ticket

because my friend Shu Shu

got hit by a Citibike.

Oh, no.

Oh, shattered her pelvis.

It's multiple fragments,

some of them as small as a mouse tooth.

Jesus.Anyway, we don't want

to let her bus ticket go to waste.

Wanna go?You know, I--

I have a lot of things to be doing today.

And I'm just gonna tie up some bells and whistles

Okay, I understand.

It's just that Shu Shu,

my best best friend from way back,

do you know what she says?

"I wish I had a granddaughter like yours.

"She's so well-behaved and so beautiful.

And she always does everything for her grandmother."

And now she is paralyzed from the waist down

and up and all around.

And she could really use some good news,

like her bus ticket not going to waste.

Because it's such a shame to waste money.
