Michael Berresse: Stage Manager

Quotes 

• [Lord Johnson-Johnson and the Stage Manager at the Flesh Fair have a disagreement about what to do with David] 

  Lord Johnson-Johnson : You thinking of not putting him in the show?

  Stage Manager : Something as original as this, you don't toss out with the rest of the other garbage.

  Lord Johnson-Johnson : Yeah, well, I say originality without purpose is a white elephant. But if money is your purpose. Here's your refund. My compliments.

  Stage Manager : [Lord Johnson takes David's hand ready to walk him out into the Flesh Fair show]  What are you going to do with him?

  Lord Johnson-Johnson : Put him where he belongs. In show business.

• [David talks to the Stage Manager of the Flesh Fair] 

  Stage Manager : No one builds children. No one ever has. What would be the point?

  Lord Johnson-Johnson : He could be a custom job. Some rich and lonely scaredy puss's pretend child.

  TV Face : [the Mecha next to them in the cage]  I'm a custom job. Seventy-five years ago I was Time Magazine's Mecha of the year.

  Stage Manager : No, this work is first-rate. A lot of love went into him. David? You are one of a kind. You know that? Who made you?

  David : My mommy made me.

  Lord Johnson-Johnson : Her womb was your factory, eh?
