Next week I'll be celebrating my 80th birthday. I look pretty good for old man don't I? (Laughs) All of the women here at the nursing home call me that crazy old man. You know the kind of man, the man that all of the women think is so mysterious and secretive and yet none of the women can stop talking about the crazy old man in room 4B. Anytime we have a dance all of the women watch me cut a rug on the floor. I love to dance. (Dances) Always have. I learned how to dance from (Beat) my momma. One of the few things she taught me. She would always tell me, "Jalen, I may not have been the best momma, and I am definitely not the best woman in the world but I'll definitely teach you how to dance." (Beat) She was right about that, she was a terrible mother and she was never my friend.
