"There’s a moment when Laurie Metcalf–who plays this poor young thing that comes to the big city and hangs out at this greasy spoon diner where the play is set–is talking about her once boyfriend who is an albino; I think it’s a monologue of about five, six, seven minutes. Just to sit there and watch and hear Laurie unspool that story, it just brought tears coming down your eyes–oh, boy, it was something."
