I travel with more doctors than any ... if people get sick in the audience, they don’t, they leave them alone. You know what they call them? Collateral damage. If that person, right over there, a friend of mine, he looks like shit, actually. He looks like he’s ready to have a heart attack. If he actually had a heart attack, you know what my doctors would do? They’d follow the president or presidents? They would leave him alone. I’d say, ‘Please help him.’ ‘No, sir. We can’t leave your side.’ I said, ‘But he’s dying of a heart attack.’ ‘Sir. He’s collateral damage.’ Can you believe it?
