Burroughs [00:03.80] [00:40.13]People often ask me [00:41.31]If I have any words of advice for [00:43.61]Young people. Well, [00:51.43]Here are a few simple admonitions [00:53.68]For young and old. [00:55.18] [00:57.74]Never interfere in a boy and girl fight. [01:01.12] [01:02.49]Beware of whores [01:03.80]Who say they don't want money. The [01:06.99]Hell they don't. [01:08.36]What they mean is they want more [01:09.74]Money. Much more. [01:11.93] [01:13.24]If you're doing business [01:14.43]With a religious son of a [01:16.61]B**ch, get it in writing. [01:18.80] [01:20.05]His word isn't worth sh*t, [01:21.55]Not with the good Lord telling him [01:23.74]How to f**k you on [01:25.05]The deal. [01:25.36] [01:36.24]Avoid f**kups. You all know the type. [01:42.68]Anything they [01:43.74]Have anything to do with, [01:45.49]No matter how good it sounds, [01:47.55]Turns into a disaster. [01:50.05] [01:51.24]Do not offer sympathy to [01:53.43]The mentally ill. Tell them [01:56.86]Firmly, "I am not paid to listen to this drivel. [02:00.92] [02:01.61]You are a terminal fool." [02:03.24] [02:18.43]Now some of you may encounter the devil's bargain [02:20.49]If you get that far. [02:22.18] [02:23.24]Any old soul is worth saving at least [02:26.18]To a priest, [02:27.36]But not every soul is worth buying. [02:30.61] [02:31.74]So you can take the offer as a compliment. [02:34.49] [02:35.30]They charge the [02:36.30]Easy ones first, you know, [02:37.86]Like money, all the money [02:39.55]There is. But who wants to be [02:41.29]The richest guy in some [02:43.08]Cemetery? Not much to spend it on, [02:49.27]Eh, Gramps? Getting [02:51.46]Too old to cut the mustard. [02:52.44] [03:09.25]Have you forgotten [03:10.16]Something, Gramps? In order to feel something, [03:13.41]You have [03:14.72]To be there. You have to be 18. [03:18.10] [03:20.10]You're not 18, [03:21.79]You are [03:22.41]78. Old fool sold his soul for a strap-on. [03:30.30] [03:32.55]How about an honorable bargain? [03:36.56] [03:37.75]"You always wanted to [03:38.50]Become a doctor. [03:39.06]Now's your chance. Why, you could have [03:41.81]Become a great healer [03:42.88]And benefit humanity. What's [03:44.38]Wrong with that?" Just about everything. [03:47.16] [03:49.54]There are no [03:50.97]Honorable bargains involving exchange [03:54.86]Of qualitative [03:56.24]Merchandise like souls. [03:57.74] [03:58.93]Just quantitative merchandise [04:00.99]Like time and money. [04:02.30] [04:05.61]So piss off, Satan, [04:06.93]And don't take [04:07.68]Me for dumber than I look. [04:09.28] [04:10.41]As an old junk pusher told [04:12.66]Me, "Watch whose money you pick up."
