      Yeah, he’s the dude w the ax over his shoulder in the beginning, I believe. Letterman got a lot of milage out of the clip for the bird w the baby in its talons on his NBC show ages ago.

    Letterman? Oh. (says ‘oh’ and looks slightly ashen).
    (Rallying) – Well that chump can go to hell – I like it anyway – still !
