THE BOTTOM LINE (Movement 2)

A new age version of “My Friends Have Left Me”
plays in the background :

Well it’s the bottom line - It’s the bottom line : Money
It’s the bottom line - Well it’s the bottom line : Money
I’m worthless trash from nowhere
I’m worthless trash from nowhere, that’s the bottom line

Yeah it’s the bottom line : Money
It’s the bottom line
Yeah, it’s the bottom line : Money

There they were. The two of them sailing in a mud puddle in
a paper dixie cup boat.

Susan Battley : It’s the bottom line.

I Can Hardly Hold My Food Down Interlude

Letty Fores :
Ride the tubes up and down with a guy named Julio
Spend my days and nights in a one room studio
Walk the city streets, my walk, my blaring coolio
Please fence me in...

SB : It’s the bottom line etc...

Letty Fores:
Please fence me in - Please fence me in

Pseudo Letterman : Oh my god he’s got a CD! Run for your lives!

Marci Geller : ... no I was just sayin’ you have to read some of this stuff.
Number 15 : Hyper laxative taxi pukers with pre-coordinated
fetch alternatives sans hornulator. And then he’s got : The
influences of Winnie The Poop toilet hoop covert fax sheet
protectors will un-lickable linoleum wipe offs. It’s blatant
afterlife effects on public access television morals.
Oh man, what’s going on in that guy’s brain?

SB : It’s the bottom line etc...

Gotta Go Now dudes : Lattle lattle it’s a cattle it’s a cattle it’s a lattle lattle lattle it’s a cattle it’s a cat! (repeat)

The Akai Connection interlude
JT : I’m flipping out!

L. Ron Hump : Money! I smell money. I need more money!

(laughter and snare drum unison)

The Priest : Barney was an old shoe salesman who sold slippers
to Lake Victoria. Why he sold it to an inanimate object
I will never know. I talked to the man once, he made
no sense. But he knew how to tell a dirty joke. For
instance, this one with the clown and the zebra.
I.. seems I don’t remember that one so I guess I’ll just
laugh it off.

(Canned TV laughter and various montages around
“I Can Hardly Hold My Food Down”)

Nigey Lennon and JT :
Please help me get to the bottom of it all
Please help me get to the bottom
Please help me get to the bottom of it all
Please help me get to the bottom of it

(More loops and Teddy Kumpel guitar improv)

ND (singing a Paul Michael Barkan lick) : Drive me down...

JT (under the song Wild Toys) :
Signs? Neat idea. Why back home we have to scream
for every exit. Exit 7! Hey!

Laura Tabacco : (laughs)

Nick DiMauro :
The guy on corner every time a cars go by...
EXIT 7!

Scotto: Ahhhh...

ND : Drive me down...
