Bet – But how else are we going to be? In Italy there was this women’s art festival. A friend of ours who does performance dressed as a woman and did a performance. Then he revealed he was a man. The women in the festival beat him up and called the police. Michael – The police? Janey – Was he good? Bet – He was the best performer there. Louie – I think calling the police is weird. They should have just beaten him up. Janey – I don’t like the police.
