Taking Woodstock Page #3

---

and his beautiful wife Carol here

till I get my own pad.

Yeah, 'cause

little brother Billy

made a tiny little

pit stop in Bangkok

and blew all his Army pay.

Didn't he, Billy?

Bangkok, man.

F***ing Bangkok.

Come on, we gotta go.

Great seeing you

back home, Billy.

Hey, Elliot.

Dave.

The usual?

Extra bacon, please.

You got it.

Hey, Elliot.

Max.

I hear you've moved

up here permanently.

Just helping Mom and

Dad for the season.

Well, I hope you have

another one of your festivals.

Miriam and I just love listening

to your records out on that lawn.

Sure, Max. This year, I'm going

to try to get a live quartet.

Looks like you're gonna

have some competition.

What, there's a recall vote

down at the Chamber of Commerce?

This says here

that Wallkill's

gonna have

a music festival, too.

Some hippie thing

got thrown out of Woodstock

so they've set

themselves up in Wallkill.

Wow, Janis Joplin.

Guess that beats playing a

bunch of records on a lawn.

Then again, it'll probably turn

into some kind of antiwar riot.

Let Wallkill have them.

Extra bacon.

You want your receipt?

Thanks, Dave.

See you later.

See you tomorrow, Max.

No, no, no,

that's horrible.

Tonight's dinner

will be roast turkey

and for dessert,

an apple tart.

I killed it!

That clock was

our mother's.

Your mother.

Your mother.

Maybe I didn't break it. Maybe

it only looks like I broke it.

Maybe we only think we

exist, when really we don't.

Hi, Elliot.

Thank you, Elliot.

It hasn't been touched

since my glory days

in the Midwood

High School band.

How's the show shaping up?

We're really getting into it.

Great. Hope you guys

are prepared.

You're probably gonna

outnumber the audience.

Only takes one extra soul

to make it theater, man.

And theater

is transformation.

But it's hard,

concentrating.

Concentrating on?

We're just,

I don't know, hungry.

Hungry? As in...

Yeah,

as in hungry, you know.

For, like, foodstuffs.

You don't have any potatoes

or sunflower seeds or anything?

I can barter some

very special grass. No.

Me and grass,

you don't want to know.

But let me see what I

can steal from my mom

and you guys can pay us

after the first show.

Or not, I guess.

Front row seats, man.

On the house, for you.

I'm bored! I'm bored! I'm bored!

That house was ours,

not his.

But he took out

that mortgage,

and now his wife

has all the money.

I can't take it any longer!

I can't! I can't!

Please throw me out, just

throw me out! I can't take it!

Hello?

Hey, Elliot.

Steven, hi. What are you

doing calling long distance?

I just made bail.

The pigs raided the bar

again. Can you believe it?

But you should come back. I think
