Her mind wanders as she drags her pudgy form across the hatched navy carpeting, but her eyes remain fixed on the girl perched on the edge of the threadbare sofa, feet dangling within inches of the floor. And when the girl plants herself firmly on the ground and strides down the hallway in the opposite direction, the toddler’s innocent face fills with admiration.

performs on the Ed Sullivan show on which Elvis was famous for performing, since he could only be filmed from the waist-up due to his “overly-sexual” dance moves (Elvis Australia News 1). However, while Conrad has the teenage girls of Sweet Apple, Ohio groveling at his feet, his character is intended to have the musical-viewing audience doubled over at his minimal lines of dialogue and seemingly absent intellect.
