Sally Marr, 1998, interviewed for Swear To Tell The Truth:  "I think Lenny was very attached, and did a lot of crying if I had to go somewhere and say 'my neighbour she'll take...' 'no no no, I wanna go with you!' Well I didn't know what the word insecure meant, I'd never heard the word.  But that's probably what it was, he didn't feel safe with anybody unless it was with me."

Lenny Bruce routine: 
"Nobody wants to go back to the room alone.  They never wanna go home unless they can say 'ma, gimme a glass of water'.  'cause I don't want the water, all I want is the water with your hand attached to the glass, with your arm attached to the hand and stay here!  And when I go to sleep don't sneak out, 'cause when I wake up I wanna see you there all the time.  And if you stay here all night then I'll drink as much water as you want me to drink."
