DEBRA MESSING'S WRITING PARTNER: You know who would be a great Joe Dimaggio for our Marilyn Monroe musical? Derrick Clay.
DEBRA MESSING: Derrick Clay? I've never heard of him. Where can I hear him sing?
DBWP: Currently he's starring in that Bruno Mars thing in the East Village.
DM: Oh. Okay. I'll guess I'll go see that Bruno Mars thing in the East Village.
(LATER)
DM: I really, really loved Derrick Clay in that Bruno Mars thing in the East Village.
DBWP: Yes, he is absolutely amazing in that Bruno Mars thing in the East Village.
DM: Can we get him for our show?
DBWP: Hmm; I'm not sure. He's in that Bruno Mars thing in the East Village.
(P.S. Bruno Mars is pretty much the opposite of the East Village. The day there's a "Bruno Mars thing in the East Village" is the day there's a Carol Channing thing in my pants.)
