This is a documentary about my new favorite chef. When describing the texture of raw uncooked egg yolk, Kenny Shopsin informs us that it’s a lot like having your hand in somebody’s pussy. Conclusion: “Not bad at all.”
“The first duty of everybody, in life, is to realize that they're a piece of shit. They're selfish, they're self-centered, they're not very good, and, that you're willing to sacrifice 20,000 people in another country just so that you can, uh, go to uh, a Wings concert. You've sacrificed the lives of a hundred thousand Chinese female babies, just so you can rent this fucking camera and do your stupid art project. No problem. You're a piece of shit. Once you realize you're a piece of shit, it's not so hard to take. Because then you don't have this feeling that uh, you're a good person all the time. And, let me tell ya somethin’, feeling that you're a good person all the time is like having a brand new car with no scratches on it. It's a real responsibility which is almost impossible to live up to. Being a piece of shit and then occasionally doing something that's good and true, it's a much easier place to be. I think that's really important and I always try and raise my kids to understand that they're not that terrific. And that not being that terrific, that's okay 'cos most people who say they are terrific, Bill Clinton..Cardinal Egan anybody that you wanna talk about..they're not so terrific---Martha Stewart... They're not so fuckin’ terrific either and there's nothing wrong with bein' not so terrific, ya know, in fact it's what's the whole ball game is about, is about not being so terrific and accepting it."

Koko: I was about to be impressed by your prolixity, but then I noticed that you wrote only two sentences. And, as usual, fifty percent of them concern somebody's pussy.
Slothrop: No sense in wasting time on trifling matters, Koko no doubt understands.
