Quote context

[...]

- Aimee, I want to show you something.

- This is my bedroom. I wanted you to see it. I don't know why.

- Oh, that's the storage room over there. We're gonna enlarge that a bit to put in mom's big tub, you see.

- Big tub?

- Yes, a big tub for mom. I give her sponge baths, you see. I'm going to continue doing that, but I've saved my money, and I bought a great big tub for mom.

- Sometimes, I know it sounds crazy, but sometimes, I have a dream. I dream that I'm in the food giant supermarket, the one on La Brea Street, buying lobsters for mom... the biggest juiciest lobsters you can imagine.

- I buy them by the dozen, just the way people buy eggs.

- And then they see me coming in the market, and they say, here comes the lobster man. Here he comes.

- And then... I know it sounds crazy, but then I do this little dance, and I sing.

- Mama's little Joyboy want lobster, lobster. Mama's little Joyboy want lobster for mom.

- And then the whole dream changes. I don't know... it becomes like a nightmare.

- When I put that big darn platter of juicy lobsters down in front of mom, they're still alive... as if I haven't cooked them at all.
