Icebreaker
"Alright, people can make fun of me all they want, I don't care! Okay? But
these pictures say something! They say that Jessica Hahn is nobody's robot,
alright! That she's not gonna be used and thrown out! Now, being used and
degraded in a hotel room in Florida was not my decision! But being used and
degraded on the pages of this magazine, that was my decision! Yeah! And I'm
telling you, that for the first time in my life, I am in control of being
used and degraded!"

ummm.... Hannibal, like Silence of the Lambs, opened in February.
