The reason it's all in cash is very obvious reason.
You won three games, but every doggone time
you go to try to beat the Dragon, he whips you.

Well, I don't know.
I must belong in a fantasy or something,
searching out Dragons.

That should help you somewhere along the line.
Yeah, but you know what they always did.
They always went after Dragons.

your husband and your daughter,
and maybe they'll help you today.

That's...
Now, Jim, have you written any songs
since the last show and this show?
No, I haven't had really a chance to write anything for you.
I understood you need a little mercy from the last one, so...
No, I'm not asking you to, Jim.
I just asked you, have you written any...
I'm not really interested, Jim, after hearing your last...
Seriously, but seriously.
Have you ever had anything published, recorded by an artist?
Uh, myself.

so I publish myself.
In other words, if you ever do hit it big with a song,
you're gonna get it all yourself.
Don't blame you.
And of course, you have a whole group in the audience

You've got the fan club.
