Privilege Page #3

Steve, be mine tonight.

I dream about him a lot

and they're always horrid dreams

because he always dies in the end.

When I wake up I say thank you to God

because it was only a dream.

We're falling down on two items, I said:

repentance and heart.

Did they give you anything?

I'm not a knocker

of this kind of music

but the intro goes

something like this...

Is he still giving you

those 4 bar intros?

- 8 bars.

- It's 4 bars, Uncle Julie.

You're counting it in 2. It's 4 bars.

I said to the boy who wrote it what

made him think of that kind of a sound?

How does it come here?

And you know what he said to me?

Maybe I'm a bit old-fashioned

but he said to me...

And you'll never believe this, Alvin.

He said to me that the sound came to him

when he was in a traffic jam.

The hooters were blaring...

And that's how he came to

the idea of the theme line.

Still, who am Ito complain?

His last disc sold...

- Wasn't it 400,000?

- 200,000.

Anyway, we gut together

and we worked out a song.

Alvin, this could be

a minor sensation.

Now, it goes like this...

The boy's sitting in the prison cell...

You got the picture?

Mother...

I never thought I 'd miss your cooking

Mother...

You're the nearest and dearest to my heart

- Mother...

- When is the hook-u p?

Wait, wait, wait for it...

Can't you see, Mother?

The bridge needs a little work here

but get the pay-off: the last line.

The salt spray of my t-e-a-r-s...

I don't want say that it

needs a little work but...

Never thought I'd miss your...

I'll start again.

Mother...

I never thought I 'd miss your cooking

Mother...

You're the nearest and dearest to me

Mother...

Can't you see, Mother?

The salt spray of my t-e-a-r-s.

- Well? How's that?

- It's a nice tune, Uncle Julie.

Well, no, no. It's not

It's a horrible tune.

Do you know what

that tune is, Uncle Julie?

It's a nostalgic breaking of wind

after a dinner of sentimentality.

You know... I mean it's nothing.

Where's the adventure in it?

This book is about a fat mother figure

who eats her children

with her sentimental rubbish

and your tune panders to this.

The very instruments you play,

the very balance is expressed by the shape.

There's nothing to them at all.

Mr. Hooper; how would you describe

your function as Mr Shorter's

administrator?

Well, one example I can give you...

About 18 months ago Steven was

threatened with a paternity suit.

So... what did you do?

Well... I procured an abortion

and arranged for the young lady

to be paid 500.

I see. And how did you account

for this expenditure?

I put it down to petty cash.

We'll start with

the American tour, please.
