Be great to project this image on the backwall! Thanks for sharing this. Madoff Take you head off— Then take your coat. I will take everything you own. Start as shadow; end as ghost. I will take everything you own. Life’s a parlor game, and I’m winning for sure— Life’s a parlor game; I’m in it for more. Take your head off— Crack your spine. I will turn what is yours to mine. Love all children, 'til they’ve grown. Then I’ll take everything they own. I will take everything they own. I will take everything they own.

Madoff

Take you head off—
Then take your coat.

I will take everything you own.

Start as shadow; end as ghost.
I will take everything you own.

Life’s a parlor game, and I’m winning for sure—
Life’s a parlor game; I’m in it for more.

Take your head off—
Crack your spine.

I will turn what is yours to mine.

Love all children, ’til they’ve grown.
Then I’ll take everything they own.

I will take everything they own.
I will take everything they own.

I haven't looked at the novel in many years. But I find I keep on thinking about Mann these days. His novels capture the decline of landed aristocracy in the face of the industrial age. Transitions interest me -- I believe we are in the middle of one so large we can't quite grasp it. Felix Krull is a prototype con-man. I haven’t looked at the novel in many years.
