- Did you ever know that you're my hero
  
  And everything I would like to be?
  
  I can fly higher than an eagle
  
  For you are the wind beneath my filth.
Now who’s gonna make our movies in 10 days for $500 and a pack of chewing gum??!!
Don't ask him to reincarnate. Roger Corman doesn't do multiple takes.
