Hello

Vanessa?

I'm not recording this time

So how are you?

How are you?

Fine

Fine

Excuse me, but ah, what's up with your voice?

It's a special phone, a tone box

A tongue box. Oh, l-like in the movie Barbarella

Yeah, gives me courage, you know

Like a veil, I can hide behind

It talks at, around, through her

Okay, so why are you giving me an interview?

Because I want you

Pardon me?

To tell the truth

Oh - well, I will if you will

For example, the first song of your opera

Ah, The Opera

Why don't you tell me your real name

My name is Victor

That is not the truth and you know it

How old are you?

I'm into my fifth soul now, so that makes me three hundred

Why do you pretend to be amazed?

And 20

I'm amazed at your beauty

I saw you on television

320 hmm, don't sweat it honey, I'm too young for you

Although rumor has it that the crown princess of Cairo

Is now a member of the NPG

Are you there?

Do you know that the princess is 16 years old?

How 'bout this for a story: "320-year-old robs the cradle"

What a scandal

Scandal

You know, if you don't give me the real story

I'll have to make one up of my own

So why don't you tell me the truth, the truth, the truth

Why don't you tell me the truth?
