Rick James Meets Fay Wray in Heaven

The Morning News has "Rick James Meets Fay Wray in Heaven (A Very Short Play)," by John Moe.
FAY: [with a degree of resignation] King Kong. I played Ann Darrow, the blonde ingénue. The ape falls in love with me. RICK: Right! And he carries you up to the top of the Empire State Building and he’s swatting at the planes and you’re screaming. FAY: Yes. RICK: That was great! That must have been really something to be a part of. FAY: It wasn’t a real ape. It was special effects. RICK: Well, yeah, I know. I know that. [A year passes.] FAY: But yes, it was wonderful. That film changed my life. It changed history. RICK: OK. FAY: And what was your song? “Superman”? RICK: Freak. “Super Freak.” FAY: Like circuses? Freaks?
