[Skit]
— 6:30 this morning
— I can't hear you
— I woke at 6:30 this morning with a headache
— Oh...
— I wonder to take them or not?
— I wouldn't take 'em
— I don't know, the headache is heavier than anything else
— It's the first time that you took 'em?
— Second
— Yeah
— I had a little bit of a headache this morning
— I wouldn't take 'em, mom
— I won't take them now, 'cause I have a toothache that hurts too a little bit. I've taken everything I got, been thinking
— All that blood pressure medicine you take and stuff too, you shouldn't take those things. You're better off not to sleep then to take the. Oh, my God! No wonder you got a headache? Your pressure's probably sky high! Why don't... You gotta take that every day!
— I try though
— Are you crazy?
— It's been 3 days
— That's probably why you have a headache now! Did you take it today?
— I did this morning, yeah
— That's probably why you have a headache, 'cause your pressure's up
— Yeah
— I don't know how you can forget to take it, when that's the only pill you take
— I'm sorry, I have so many pills you'd be surprised
— Well, the blood pressure pill is the most important one
— Yeah, I know
— There is no other one as important as that one
— I got one more and then I got to get to the store, I got two refills on it
— You only got one pill?!
— I only take one a day
— Well, yeah, but you shouldn't let 'em get that low
— I guess not, but I can take one in the morning and then go get some more
— They're expensive! If you have to pay for 'em, Procardia?
— Nah, the other one
— Which ones?
— I gotta pay for Procardia
— Were you taking that every day?
— Yeah
— Well, that's the blood pressure pill, the heart pill, the Procardia. And what's the other one?
— Ah, H-Y-D-R-O-T-O-N
— Oh, that's somethin' to do with water and, and, water and, uh, blood pressure
— This one tag does say it's for blood pressure
— Yeah, I think it works like a water pill type pressure, but the Procardia's the important one
— Yeah
— You have to take that every day
— Yeah
— You should take that the first thing when you get up
— Yeah, I know
— Well, how come you haven't taken it?
— I took it yesterday, the Procardia
— Well, how come you didn't take it today?
— I had the headache today
— That's why you have a headache! You gotta take the Procardia! Take it now! That's what it's for, your headache. It's to make your blood pressure come down
— Yeah
— If you don't, you're gonna... You'll have a stroke, if you don't take it. If you got a... headache that bad, you're gonna have a stroke
— I got a headache that bad this mornin'
— Well, you better go take the Procardia right now!
— I will, I'll take it when I hang up
— You didn't take that other blood... blood pressure pill either?
— Yeah, I did this morning
— Well, you should take the Procardia right now
— I'll take the Procardia in after nine, got a horrible morning
— Well, you...
— Why can't you see it?
— Well, how long has it been since you took the Procardia?
— Three days
— How many?
— Three
— Well, see, that's ridiculous, you better go take it right now
— I will
— Then you'll find out your headache will go away
— Yeah, I've taken it now, the Procardia, just yet
— Any other medicine you're taking ain't that important, you ain't got nothin' but nerve pills, they ain't important
— I take those every day
— Well, the nerve pills ain't that important, the blood pressure medicine's important

Marilyn Manson

Brian Hugh Warner who is better known under his stage name of Marilyn Manson is a musician, painter, actor, multimedia artist, and former music journalist. His stage name is a combination of the names of two American icons, actress Marilyn Monroe and multiple murder conspiracy convict Charles Manson.

I picked that (Marilyn Manson) as the fakest stage name of all to say that this is what show business is, fake. Marilyn Monroe wasn’t even her real name, Charles Manson isn’t his real name, and now, I’m taking that to be my real name. But what’s real? You can’t find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best. As long as you know everything’s a lie, you can’t hurt yourself.

—Marylin Manson
