... and I'll write down my phone number. Really, all Hollywood phone numbers start with 555.
Nurse: I'm so glad Sally set my hair so darn glamarous this weekend. When those folks down in Hollywood see me, golly aren't they gonna wonder why I didn't choose a career acting in one of those pictures!
Dear Diary - Mom follows me everywhere and it is creeping me out.
Calling, hoping and coping!

Clark: "So, I just sign right here?"
Nurse: "Oh, yes... You just sign your name right there, and then underneath that, just go ahead and write down a good phone number and address so I can know how to better stalk you later. Thanks so much :-)"
"Am I supposed to write my middle name? Or does she look at everyone like that?"
Kid: Dad, what are you doing in this picture?
Dick Clark: It was "Battle of the cute faces." I can't believe Nurse Ruby won!
Dick Clark wouldn't be smiling if he knew that he just signed away consent for Nurse Ruby to collect a kidney, part of his liver, and possibly a gallbladder.
Ruby: Look Dick it's just like I told you in my letters! I knew I'd be Mrs. Ruby Clark one day!
Dick: Wait a minute! This is a MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE?!
That's right, Mr. Clark, all patients are allowed to wade into our Fountain of Youth. Why else would they all look so young here at Riley? Now, Mr. Clark, I've got your guarantee to be on this week's American Bandstand, right? Good. Now, just sign on the line and we'll get you into your gown....
Dick: Famous Dick C. was here :)
Ruby: "How do I look fellows? :) Do you think Mr. Dick and I look good together?" ;)
Riuby forgot to tell Dick after he signs, they go to LaRue Carter and into a straight jacket!
