Highly quotable.

I like to catch them before they learn how.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Poolside hostess Dixie Wetsworth opens Cabana Chat by showing off her new lips, introducing her steel-drum bandleader Dexter and sending her dim pool boy through his weekly dance. Her guest is rapper Ice-T, who politely declines a drink, tries to steer the conversation to his new album and keeps fending off her come-ons and her habit of mangling his name. The pool boy interrupts with a bewildering question about getting paid for being spanked at parties, Dexter bangs the gong whenever the talk lags, and Ice-T eventually backs out while Dixie cheerfully promises he will be back as her guest tomorrow whether he knows it or not.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
