wasbarefoot in the park,
which was an absolute smash,
but my production
on the stage ofbackdraft
was what really
got them excited.
This whole idea of
in-your-face theater
really affected them.
The conceptualization,
the whole abstraction,
the obtuseness
of this production to me
was what was interesting.
I wanted the audience
to feel the heat from the fire,
the fear... because people
don't like fire poked,
poked in their noses.
You know, when you get
a cinder from barbecue
right on the end
of your nose
and you kind of make
that little face.
That's not a good thing.
I wanted to have
So during the show,
i had someone
burn newspapers
and... and send it through
the vents in the theater.
Well, they freaked out.
Of course, the fire marshal
came over,
and they shut us down
for a couple of days.
Mr. Bluestein,
montezuma's revenge
is nothing more
than good old-fashioned
american diarrhea.
Adult diapers
should never even
enter the picture.
So you lose
a few pounds.
My mom used to say
that blaine
is a little town
with a big heart
in the heart
of a big country.
And, to me, blaine
is a kind of town
where i can have
my own business,
meet and marry a wonderful
woman like sheila,
and... and be something,
be somebody.
Some people
find it ironical
that even though
we run a travel agency,
we've never been
outside of blaine.
With one exception.
Well, we've never
been out...
you left blaine.
Well, i went
to jefferson city once.
It was a...
tell them why.
It was a medical reason.
You can tell 'em.
Just minor surgery.
I've been
working here at the d.q.
For about, um...
I don't know.
Something like that.
It's fun.
You just do the cones.
Make sundaes,
make blizzards, and...
put stuff on 'em and...
see a lot of people come in.
A lot of people
come to the d.q.
Burgers. Ice cream.
Anything, you know?
Cokes. Just drive in
and get a coke,
if you're thirsty.
Everybody thinks that roswell
was the first sighting
of a ufo
in the united states,
and that's bull roar.
We had the first sighting
here in 1946.
And it wasrt just a sighting.
They didn't just fly by.
They stopped. They landed.
The people in blaine
went onboard the ship
for a potluck dinner.
I've been coming out
to this landing site
every day for 2 years
to measure it.
And here's the thing...
the circumference
and the diameter change
by a few inches,
yet the radius
remains the same.
Which brings me back
to the number 5.
There are 5 letters
in the name "blaine."
Mix the word "blaine" up,
mix it around,
eventually,
you'll get "nebali."
Neball...
the name of the planet
in a galaxy way, way...
