Channeling Quentin Crisp, Part Three

Enjoy the final part of the wisdom of Mr. Crisp.

Me: Now, back to work. Do you have any messages or advice for us, Quentin?

Jamie: Oh, here it is. Are you ready?

Me: Ready as I’ll every be.

Quentin: Gay, gay, gay. Bi, bi, bi. Lesbian, lesbian, lesbian. Transsexual, transsexual, transsexual.

Me: Embrace all sorts of love?

Quentin: We’re all stuck in a human body.

Jamie: He says it so flippantly.

Me: You’re saying love is love is love?

Quentin: Love is love is love.

Me: Okay. Erik, do you have any questions to ask Mr. Crisp?

Erik: Yeah. Do you have any regrets?

Quentin: Son, I have none. Anything that I had before has clearly been beaten out of me.

Jamie: Oh, I think he means physically. Being beaten.

Me (horrified): Physically beaten!

Jamie: It’s not metaphorically.

Me: Oh, no! You were beaten, Quentin?

Quentin: My love, on several occasions.

Me: Oh, I’m so sorry.

Quentin: Well, we should feel sorry for the ones who felt they had to. They used brute instead of understanding.

Me: Oh, gosh.  I am so sorry. I wish I had been there to defend you.

Quentin: Thank you for the chivalrous attempt, but I think that you’re too small.

Me: Maybe, but what I lack in brute strength I make up for in passion so I’d at least give them a run for their money.

Quentin: Yes, in passion and in voice.

Me: Yeah. I would scream and nag them to a bloody pulp.

Quentin: You can definitely put pen to paper and create a lot of blood and tears.

Me: Oh yes. For sure.

Jamie: Oh, wow. What a comment.

Me: So Quentin, do you feel like you accomplished all that you came here to do?

Quentin: Yes, and I came here to accomplish all that I came here not to do.

Me: Good! Very good! Well, thank you so much, Mr. Crisp.

Quentin: Thank you, my love.

Me: This has been such a wonderful interview.

Jamie: Oh, he has—oh, I don’t know what they’re called—lace around the edge of the sleeve.

Me: Oh, yes.

Jamie: Isn’t there a name for that?

Me: I don’t know. Quentin, is there a name for that?

Quentin: Fashion!

Jamie and I laugh!

Me: Awesome.

Jamie: Oh, he’s walking away.

Me: Bye!

Jamie: Bye!

Jamie continues to laugh.

Me: A grand exit, of course!

Jamie: That was awesome.
