But I want all of you to look at the faces out here during this picture. There's gonna be room in their heads for only one thought: "Don't let it get me." They know we can't hurt 'em, but they're still gonna be scared half to death. And all of you, when you thread the projector, when you tear the tickets, when you sell the jujubes, you're all a part of it. And just when it gets the worst, when they're sitting there and their hearts are going like trapped animals out here in the dark, we save them. And they say, "Hey, it's all right. Thank God. Hey, can I see that again?" P.S., No, they can't. We clear between shows."
