A Mighty Wind Page #5

And right down there, further along,

I'm thinking of building a French Quarter.

-I've actually got a bit of French blood.

-I'd love to see this town in the autumn.

I think Crabbeville in autumn

would look quite magnificent.

I would have made tiny little leaves...

...oak, poplar, maple, chestnut...

...and spread them

across the town of Crabbeville.

Magnificent.

It's Crabbe Town, not Crabbeville.

What is it you do, Leonard?

For work?

Oh, work.

I'm in the bladder management industry.

I sell catheters.

I have my own distribution company.

Sure-Flo Medical Appliances.

May have heard of it.

It's actually named in tribute after

my mother. Her name was Florence.

It's a growth industry, really,

because one in three people over 60...

...either have a flaccid

or a spastic bladder...

...so, in a sense, every 13.5 seconds,

a new incontinent is born, as it were.

People like you and I have

what they call "leakage problems."

They can be running, playing tennis,

laughing, sneezing, anything.

The good old constipation, you know?

You have impacted fecal mass

in your rectum pushing on your bladder.

This might make good dessert talk.

I started playing folk clubs

in New York City...

...and walked into one such

coffeehouse one night and there--

-Half Moon Cafe.

-The Half Moon Cafe and--

I was playing with my sisters,

Jocelyn, Claire, Estelle.

We were the North Four.

We were on-stage

and we had a horrible little heckler.

A little guy, but with

the loudest voice in the world.

And just, you know, "Take off your tops"

and "Get off the stage"...

"You sing like crap! You get off the stage!"

Very inarticulate. Rude.

Mean. Mean little bugger.

All of a sudden, we couldn't see clear,

you got the lights on us...

...but I see this tall, dark figure go over

and there's this intense little...

...something going on,

and all of a sudden, he's pummeled.

-The crap pummeled out of him.

-I don't remember much.

But the next thing I know,

I'm in a hospital, and the first thing I saw...

...was a beautiful rose sitting in a vase

on the night table next to the bed.

And I can't express...

...what was surging through my body.

I was consumed with an emotion...

...that I had never felt before.

We started singing together.

We simply fused together...

...in a very meaningful way.

And before you know it, we were recording.

-I learned to sing with Mitch.

-And--

So scary, so scary. But I just...

Mitch was so strong and so smart

and knew what he wanted...

...and I just focused on Mitch.

You know,

I went along for the ride.

One, two, three, and...

-Wait. I doubled after you?

-No, with me. That's doubling.
