Fritzy: Hello?
Frank: Baba.
Fritzy: [In Italian, "What's going on?"]
Frank: You still in the crib?
Fritzy: Yes.
Frank: Huh?
Fritzy: Yes.
Frank: When are you getting out?
Fritzy: When am I getting out? I don't know, who the hell knows. I...
Frank: Your phone was busy.
Fritzy: I just talked to...who the hell'd I just talk to? I don't even know. I just answered the phone. What are you doing?
Frank: Watching Channel 5.
Fritzy: Yeah? I got the news on, I just dozed off.
Frank: About the gay community. About AIDS and everything.
Fritzy: Yeah?
Frank: Yeah.
Fritzy: Well, that's sad, really.
Frank: There's a woman here, she's married to a bisexual and she said she's happily married. She said she knows his lover and, uh, and the guy says to her, "Well, say if [UI] he was with a girl?" She says, "Then I would get mad."
Fritzy: In other words, but being he's with a guy she's not mad.
Frank: No.
Fritzy: Nice woman.
Frank: She's got children with him and every fuckin' thing.
Fritzy: [In Italian, says this sickens him]
Frank: [UI] says, "Ain't you afraid to get AIDS?" And there's another girl, she says, "I walked down the aisle, after I got married, I found out that he was, uh, a fuckin' fag."
Fritzy: Yeah?
Frank: "I almost committed suicide."
Fritzy: What are you doing? Just get up?
Frank: I'm up about an hour.
Fritzy: Yeah?
Frank: I'm gonna do my exercises soon.
Fritzy: That's what I gotta start doing.
Frank: I took my seven and nine last night and [In Italian, says he made a beautiful bowel movement]. The colon came out.
Fritzy: Yeah?
Frank: The whole colon [Italian for piece of excrement] it was like ten feet long.
Fritzy: You're cleaning yourself good, huh?
Frank: That's right.
Fritzy: I'm proud of ya, Cal.
Frank: I gotta watch this diverticulitis I got.
Fritzy: Well, let me tell you something. You just turn around and just eat foods that, without peanuts...
Frank: Yeah, nuts.
Fritzy: Seeds, you know, heavy stuff, where is it can lodge into those pockets.
Frank: Yeah.
Fritzy: And you know what happens, they become, like, infected. When they become infected, that's when you gotta go for something.
Frank: See the bacteria, no, the food in there becomes stagnant.
Fritzy: Yeah, right.
Frank: And then the bacteria eats the fuckin' poison food, [UI] gets sick, and then your insides get sick. There's bacteria in there cleaning you out.
Fritzy: But I'm telling you, but it becomes infected.
Frank: You see you got, you got little sleepers in there to eat up the shit.
Fritzy: Yeah?
Frank: Don't you know that?
Fritzy: No.
Frank: Now when you eat the yogurt...
Fritzy: Yeah.
Frank: ...the bacteria eats the yogurt, too.
Fritzy: Oh, yeah?
Frank: Yeah, it eats the yogurt. That's why a lot of people eat the yogurt.
Fritzy: I don't even...
Frank: To keep their, uh, intestinal track, uh, clean.
Fritzy: You need bacteria, you need a bacteria in there.
