On your side Frenchie! Just kidding.  Texas! Yes, Texas is from America! Mmm hmm. But she's a very cunning linguist! Fritzie! Oh, Fritzie, would you stop that? Already this week we have lost two waiters, a table, and three bottles of champagne up there like this.  And Helga! Helga is the baby. I'm like a father to her, mmm hmm. So when she's bad, I spank her. And she's very, very, very, very, very, very bad.  Rosie, LuLu, Frenchie, Texas, Fritzie, and Helga Each and every one a virgin.  You don't believe me, hmm? Well, don't take my word for it.  Go ahead, try Helga.  Outside it is winter but in here it's so hot, ooh. Every night we have to battle with the girls to keep them from taking off all of their clothings. So don't go away. Who knows? Tonight we may lose the battle!
