CLOWN!
Lovely.
JT : It wuz late Octobra (laughs)...
ND : Yeah, right.
JT : When the Captain Tank of Ralph Voyager 47 confiscated, I said confiscated Sandra Piolet's wax paper thesis…
ND : Yeah, you did a good job on that. You, you had to double yourself. It took ya long time.
JT : Tripled it!
ND : Tripled it huh? Man...
JT : Quadrupled it!
ND : Really?
JT : Yeah. It was pretty cool.
ND : That's very difficult.
JT : It took a while but you know…
ND : But da, now it's quadrupled.
JT : Now it's quadrupled and ah… (there was no dbx by the way)
ND : I did something. I had something to do with that tape.
JT : Definitley.
ND : I don't remember what I did. Oh, I said that! I was the one - the original… No.
JT : Well, look at it this way : I had written some stuff out and I told you, I said read this.
ND : And I did.
JT : I said something stupid. I said, "Here." I just like say to you - I go : "Here read this - do this."
ND : And I, I did.
JT : And I expect you to do stuff. You know? Instantly.
ND : Yeah.
JT : So… And that's why…
ND : That' s a good idea. Read this. What can I read? What, what is in this house?
JT : Ah well, ah...
ND : Let's see ah...
JT : There's the dip shit special. (soft laughs)
ND : "Dinner Snips".
JT : Aw, ya gonna read that? That's awful.
ND : No it's not.
JT : It was funny when I first wrote it. I haven't looked at it in six years. It's probably pretty infantile.
ND : I'm just gonna pick a page at random.
JT : Ok.
ND : And here's a page now.
JT : Boy, this is embarrassing.
ND : Sri - S, R, I or Shrye.
JT : Sri. Sri. It's Sri.
ND : Would you like to read the other part of this?
JT : I don't know what's the other part?
ND : Or Latz. Sri or Latz or Ded or Mammory. Latz, Ded, Sri, Latz, Mammory (sniffs)
So I'll read the part of Sri…
The song "Just Can't Take it Anymore" plays :
Paranoia
Man, it's automatic
By the parkway, praying' for a clean escape while
Gingham blouses set your heart on fire
Just to tease you
Hopin' for another chump
And ya just can't take it anymore
'Cause ya workin' so hard and ya feelin' unsure
And ya just can't take it anymore
But something keeps you movin'
JT as Latz : Hey, doesn't Sri's hair look different?
ND as Ded : Yeah, it does! What do you do to it?
JT : Heh.
ND as Sri : I scar… I freeze dried it!
JT : (laughs) Heh, that's funny.
JT as Mammory : My mother called you know she said Papa keeps ah...
ND : And that's all that we're gonna read for now.
JT : That's about all. "Dinner Snips".
ND : So this is aye ah play isn't it?
JT : Well, it was an idea for a play.
ND : And it had music…
"Just Can't Take it Anymore" continues :
Aids confusion
Siren's in the shower
Lyin' clergy soaking' up the real estate and
Every "G man" plays so charasmatic
Pullin' G strings
Payin' off the mayor
And ya just can't take it anymore
'Cause ya workin' so hard and ya feelin' unsure
And ya just can't take it anymore
When your down with some friends and ya feelin' ignored
And ya just can't take it anymore
ND : I searched for a way to persuade her to give up these dreadful, materialistic ideas for some less imperious philosophy. But scarce, but scarcely had I begun
to give voice to this thought then she pushed me away in alarm! "Oh Forville!, she cried. "I beg you. Do not poison my final moments with your false beliefs. And let me die in peace. I do not loath them. My whole life through only them - embrace them on my deadeth bed and quibble that Stri might be forgotten. I thank you very much." And that was Woody Allen reads the Marquis DeSade (laughs), book two in a series of twenty seven thousand books.
Redneck JT : Ah, take those ah...
Redneck ND : Take this job and shove it!
Redneck JT : Take those galoshes and fry them!
(Knocking on the bedroom door)
ND : Hello?
Frank Tabacco : Ok
JT : So?
FT : Listen.
ND : Yeah.
FT : Jesus, you know with that window open it's still warm in here? Wow…
ND : Well, we got no…
JT : Christ!
ND : We don't have any cross ventilation. That's the problem.
FT : Hey you're ah…
ND : (opens another window) There.
FT : Pushing a lot of power here.
JT (gasps)
ND : Aww younly, no everything's off. Only one microphone is going.
JT : Ya gotta feed power.
ND : The amplifiers are off. Everything's off.
JT : Everything's off! What are you talking' about?
FT : You must have, you must - this can't all be state of the art here.
Ya gotta have tube stuff around some place.
ND : We have to have what stuff around?
FT : Tube stuff.
ND : The amplifiers are tube.
JT : Amplifiers are tube…
FT : Man, they must be drawing - giving off an awful lot of heat.
ND : They're shut off!
JT : We're not using them. They're shut off.
ND : The only thing that's using is one cassette deck.
FT : It's gotta be 20% warmer tan it is out here even with that window open?
ND : That's 'cause we sweat a lot.
FT : Oh, is that what it is?
ND : Yeah, we put a lot of sweat into this.

FT : Ok?
ND : Yup.
JT : After what?
ND : See ya later. After they explode their shoes. (laughs)
JT : After we explode me an Ma are going out.
ND : Let me ask you a question. What exactly did you mean when you said, "Don't do that Cheryl my shoe will explode."
JT : What did I mean?
ND : That was a sexual reference.
JT : Yeah, that was a sexual reference.
ND : Ok. I wasn't sure.
JT : It was. (laughs) That was…
ND : She, she got it too. That's the thing.
JT : (gasps) No!
ND : She said… I know. She said, she said, "Ha, ha, ha, ha." She laughed is what she did.
JT : I'll tell ya that was strange thing because I… that was one of those things that just came out. I didn't think...
ND : And then - and then you thought of it. Oh wow, a sexual reference. Sure my shoe will explode. Absolutely.
JT : It's not something I do.
ND : (sarcastically ) Oh no, you don't do that.
JT : I don't play games...
ND : I'm a little elf...
