What?
Bruce
From Reprise Records
FZ
Hi, there, how you doing?
Bruce
How you doing? Nice to see you again
FZ
Alright
Bruce
How’s it going?
FZ
Well, it’s alright
Bruce
Good. Hey, we got a neat publicity stunt we’d like to try
FZ
What’s the stunt?
Bruce
We got a garbage truck we’d like to get some pictures of you and the Mothers on it
FZ
That’s probably one of the most terrible ideas I’ve ever heard in my life! We’re going down there?
Bruce
Yeah!
Mark
You’d love it, you know that?
Bruce
And, uh, we got that news paper here to cover it and, uh, plus, the front of the chart and stuff
FZ
The front of the chart . . .
Bruce
Yes, the, uh, FM chart that’s put over here in Vancouver as a distribution for fifty thousand
FZ
What do you think, Dick?
Dick
What? A photo at the garbage truck?
Bruce
I think it’s really gonna be a great idea, I really do

. . . on the other side of that
«But it won’t be lonely for long . . . »
What’s the deal?
Howard
Must we stand amidst the scum to get the idea across?
«Where are you on this ah long hot summer
Where are you on this ah . . . »

Mark
Are we going in it?
You think you can possibly . . . with the foot there?
