The imperative

Stanley, open the door, I've got to go, Stanley, open the door, let me in, Stanley, open the door, open the door, let me in. What? Stanley, what are you doing to yourself? What the hell, you don't like it? Stanley. You like it? Stanley. Don't call me that, okay? Don't call me that.

Present continuous

I think you're taking this too far. Stanley. Stanley!

Gerund

Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still ain't calling. I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom. I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not have got them.

There probably was a problem at the post office or something. Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot them. But anyways, what's been up, man? How's your daughter? My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm about to be a father. If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her? I'ma name her Bonnie. I read about your Uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry. I had a friend who put himself over some who didn't want him. I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan.

I even got the underground shits that you did with Scam. I got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man. I like the shits you did with Rockets too, that shit was phat.

Anyways, I hope you get this, man. Hit me back, it's just a chat. It's truly yours, your biggest fan.

Dear Slim, you still ain't caught a roll. I hope you have a chance, I ain't mad. I just think it's tough you don't answer fans. If you didn't want to talk to me outside the concert, you didn't have to. But you could have signed an autograph for Matthew, that's my little brother, man. He's only six years old. We waited in the blistering cold for you. Four hours and you just said no. That's pretty, man. You're like an idol. He wants to be just like you, man. He likes you more than I do.

I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to. Remember when we met in Denver? You said if I write you, you would write back. See, I'm just like you in a way. I never knew my father neither. He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her. I can relate to what you're saying in your songs. So when I have a day, I drift away and put them on because I don't really got hell.

So that helps when I'm depressed. I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest.

Sometimes I even eat with myself to see how much it beats. It's like adrenaline. The pain is such a sudden rush for me. See, everything you say is real and I respect you because you tell it.

My girlfriend's jealous because I talk about you 24-7. But she don't know you like I know you slim.

No one does. She don't know what it was like for people like us growing up. You gotta call me, man.

I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose. Sincerely yours, Stan. P.F. We should be together too.

I'm too good to call and write my fans. This will be the last package I ever send your ass.

Spent six months to steal the word. I don't deserve it. I know you got my last two letters.

I wrote the addresses on them perfect. So this is my cassette I'm sending you. I hope you hear it.

I'm in the car right now. I'm doing 90 on the freeway. Hey, Slim, I think I fit the...

Damn, did it drive? You know the song by Bill Collins from the air in the night about that guy who could have saved that other guy from drowning but didn't? Then Bill saw it all. Then at his show he found him. That's kind of how this is. You could have rescued me from drowning. Now it's too late.

I'm on a thousand... Now I'm drowsy. And all I wanted was a lousy letter of a call. I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall. I love you, Slim. We could have been together.

Think about it. You ruined it now. I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it. And when you dream,

I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it. I hope your conscience agents you when you can't breathe without me. See, Slim, I'm trying to talk. Hey, Slim, that's my girlfriend. But I didn't...

See, I ain't like you. Because if she's... Suffer more. And then some...

Well, gotta go. I'm almost at the bridge now. Oh, I forgot. How am I supposed to send it out?

Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner, but I've just been busy. You said your girlfriend's pregnant now.

How far along is she? Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that. And here's an autograph for your brother. I wrote it on the starter cap. I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show. I must have missed you. Don't think I did that intentionally just to diss you. But what's the s*** you said about us like the s*** you're is too? I say that s*** is clowning, dawg. Come on, how s*** can fit you? You got some issues, Stan. I think you need some counseling to help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some. And what's the... That type of s*** don't make me not want us to meet each other. I really think you and your girlfriend need each other.

But maybe you just need to treat her better. I hope you get to read this letter. I just hope it reaches you in time before you hurt yourself. I think that you'll be doing just fine if you relax a little. I'm glad I inspire you, Stan. Why are you so mad? Try to understand that I do want you as a fan. I just don't want you to do some crazy s***. I seen this one s*** on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick. Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge. And in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to. Come to think about it, his name was s***.
