Seymour Idiots

Meet the original idiom idiot.

Enid: We need to find a place where you can go...to meet women
who share your interests.

Seymour: Maybe I don't want to meet someone who shares my
interests. I hate my interests.

Enid: List your five main interests in order of importance.

Seymour: I'd have to put traditional jazz, blues...and then ragtime
at the top of the list.

Enid: Right, so let's just say music. That way, we only use up one.

Seymour: All right.

Seymour: That was great music, huh?

Red-Haired Girl: Yeah, I just love blues.

Seymour: Actually, technically, what he was mostly playing...
would more accurately be classified in the ragtime idiom.
Although, of course, not in the strictest sense...of the classical
ragtime piano music...like that of Scott Joplin or Joseph Lamb.
Authentic blues has a more conventional...twelve-bar
structure in its stanzas.
