Transcript

Now, Roma wines are OMA, made in California for enjoyment throughout the world. Roma wines present to... Such fans. I have a man named Ebermann... Matthew Ebermann, his name was...

He had his name on the paper quite a lot, Matthew. He did. It's kind of a funny story concerning, Matthew, too. Had to do with murder. Matthew was an ugly guy. Ugly is a mud fence, and he hated that.

He hated everyone telling him how ugly he was. Where ever since he was a kid. I won't play if I have to be Matthew's partner. You have to look at him with those terrible big hands.

Well, I won't play. And I'll tell him, go to his face. Matthew Everman, you're the ugliest, most horrible looking boy I've ever seen. You're double ugly. That's what you are. Look at you. Look at you.

If you're home and beat his big fists into his pillow and nilly choke getting the sobs out of him. Don't cry with him. But you care what they say? Friends don't matter unless they love you for yourself.

Don't cry, do you mother love you? Mother thinks you're a wonderful boy. Stay. Then I don't get you cry. It was a funny thing too. He came from a good family, enough money, education. And if he hadn't been so ugly...

If he hadn't been, his voice would have been kind of pleasant to listen to. One time I remember he got alone okay with just his voice. It was at a masquerade after he got the costume and the mask all on his mother said.

Why I hardly know my old boy. Oh that's not like that. Why ever when I don't know. Wanted to be with people I guess anyway. He did go to the party and he danced with all the girls in the place.
