Sumner RedstoneBut when you're in front of an audience and you make them laugh at a new idea, you're guiding the whole being for the moment.

They breathe, heavy. Hard. Their fingers strain at cotton. And then they slow down. Stop. Hold. Rest. Before one of them, or both, begins to sob. Before they break another piece that needs to be fixed.
