Billie's question: WHY CANT I BE LARGER THAN LIFE WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE SAME FOOLS WHO GET TO BE LARGER THAN EVERYONE ELSES LIVES?

Billie's intro:

"great is a one-man show with a chorus. On wanting to be seen and wanting to disappear at the same time, on catching up on hours of joy, on doctors and their offices and drugs but not the sexy kind, on becoming real, too real.

Or, to quote Amanda Lear: ‘Only idiotic people tell the truth.’”
