They told me it had c-c-colored folk in it, RHONDA, and that`s ALWAYS a sure sign of GOOD, SOLID, MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT! How was I supposed to know they`d be this ugly?
RHONDA:
They pissed on us, HARRY! They fuckin` pissed on us! Look at my fox!
HARRY:
I know, dear...but they pissed on me too...he did say they were INCONTINENT!
RHONDA:
Just smell this! I think we should get out of here before they do something else to us!
HARRY:
Leave? Now? At these ticket prices? Just hold your horses...it probably wasn`t REAL PISS... only `theater piss`...they probably have a formula... some special stuff...comes right outta the fur with Woolite.
RHONDA:
What`s happened to Broadway, HARRY? Used to be you could come to one of these things and the wind would be RUSHING DOWN THE PLAIN or a fairy on a string would go over the audience...but NOW! Harry, I ask you: is THIS entertainment?
HARRY:
You`re absolutely correct, dear! So far we haven`t seen a single good-looking pair of legs...a single sequin-encrusted whatchamacallit ...no firm, rounded breasts! This show is a DISASTER, RHONDA! A complete and utter DISASTER!
THING-FISH:
Mmmm! Say dere...hey! Umm-hmm! Thass right! HEY YOU! You two ugly white folks...over heahhh!
As you know, de presence of carboniferous hard-core unemployables has gen`rally, in de historical past, GUARANTEED an evenin` of upliftin` FROLIC and CAVORTMENT...it`d be a shame fo y`all t`miss out on dis here one! Got some nice chairs fo` ya, rights ovuh heahhh.
HARRY & RHONDA rise, cross to THING-FISH, and sit in the chairs he offers. They are immediately chained to them by The MAMMIES.
HARRY:
Uhhh...beg pardon? What`s going on here?
RHONDA:
Oh! They`re touching me! HARRY! HARRY! HARRY! HARRY, do something! THEY`RE PUTTING CHAINS ON ME! I`LL BE STUCK TO THE CHAIR! Oh! What`ll I do? I`LL MISS INTERMISSION!
HARRY:
They`re only `theater chains`, RHONDA! Just some sort of...
RHONDA:
THESE ARE REAL GODDAM CHAINS, HARRY, AND THEY`RE NOT GONNA COME OFF WITH WOOLITE!
HARRY:
I don`t mind the way they feel...they don`t bother me, honey...relax! Go with the flow...
RHONDA:
HARRY, YOU ARE AN OVER-EDUCATED SHIT-HEAD!
THING-FISH:
Look here, folks...dis only fo yo own protexium! Once we gets rollin` heah, things be happnin` all over de place dat could prove dangerous to persons not previously acquainted wit de SAN QUENTIM MASH- POTATOES!
RHONDA:
I want the wind to come rushing down the plain! I want fairies on a string over the audience! I want REAL BROADWAY ENTERTAINMENT! Feathers! Spot-lights! Guilt! Hours upon hours of GUILT! About my mother! About my father! About brave women, suffering at the hands of infantile, insensitive, dominating men! And what do I get? A Potato-headed jig-a-boo with Catholic clothes on! Incomprehensible duck lips! Weak bladders draining through abnorminably large organs! Jesus, HARRY! What the FUCK is going on here?
HARRY:
Simmer down! If you`ll just roll with the punches...and don`t rock the boat, I`m sure we`ll have a lovely evening at the theater!
THING-FISH:
Thass right! We got fairies on a string fo yo ass jes` a little later! Meanwhile, I b`lieves y`all requires some updatement on de CO-LOG-NUH situatium! Sister OB`DEWLLA `X`! Express yo`seff! Send " Harry Rhonda" Ringtone to your Cell
