Domino Biz-bo-OH, Amen, Domino Biz-bo, Hallelujah, eh . . .
Ian
Et cum spiritu tuo . . .
Roy
Ian, I don’t think I qualify for the Mothers
(
FZ
They’re making up their lines as they go along, isn’t it thrilling?)
Ian
Why, Roy?
Roy
Because I don’t think I’m qualified. I think, I think I’m holding the group back because I’m a MEXICAN. And also because I don’t play bass good.
Ian
I don’t care how you can play bass but we have NO MEXICANS in this group.
Roy
And I wanna join your group.
Ian
No Mexicans!
Roy
I can sing opera, I have already quit, I cut my hair, I got all my shit together here. I can do it.
Ian
I don’t care how you look you gotta be able to cut the part.
Roy
I can sing. Please. Please, Ian, give me a CHANCE.
Ian
I don’t believe you can sing.

Roy
Ah, PLEASE! Ah, Ian, please, hear my PLEA! PLEASE, IAN! PLE-E-E-EASE! I can do it, give me a CHANCE! PLEASE! Please, IAN!
(
FZ
