"You know, I'm so hungry, I felt I haven't eaten in days!" PETER: "Me too, man, I'm starved!!" MR. SWEEZY: "On my door, where it says 'welcome', will be a sign, '75 cents an hour'! PETER: "That's terrible!! Even downtown, it's only fifteen!!" MIKE: "Just as I thought, man, they can't throw you out! It violates every zoning regulation!!" DAVY: "Are you sure, Mike?" MIKE: "Of course, I'm sure, man, you don't have to worry about them tearing down anything!! They can't throw you out! I'm pos--" BOOM! MIKE: "Hello, would you mind telling the mayor that Michael Nesmith, Private Citizen, is here to see him, please?" SECRETARY: "Well, what is this in reference to Private Citizen, Michael Nesmith?" MIKE: "Well, there's a lot of innocent people just being thrown out of their houses by this parking lot that the city's building and I would like to talk to him about it, if I could." SECRETARY: "Aww, a complaint?" MIKE: "Yeah, sort of." SECRETARY: "Right through that door!" MIKE: "Oh, man, the more I think about this whole parking lot thing, the more I think we gotta do something about it!!" DAVY: "How come?" MIKE: "Well, because we don't want a dictatorial system running the city. And the rights of an individual citizen has got to be respected, and because we gotta get all this people out of our house!" MICKY: "Look, man, if we're going to get rid of all these parking lots, we first have to get rid of the mayor, and you know, there's only one solution to that, right?" DAVY: "Right!!" PETER: "Right!!" MIKE: "And so until this crisis is over, I will honker down like a jackass in a hail storm...dot-dot-dot." DAVY: "Oh, Mike!! That's terrible, no politician would ever talk like that!!" DAVY: "Hey, Mike, look at this!! Someone's been drawing mustaches all over your pictures!!" MICKY: "Hey, that's not really that bad, a little gray on the temples there!" MIKE: "You know, I bet you it was some goons from Mayor Motley's office!" PETER: "I bet it was political sabotooge!!" DAVY: "How do you know that?" PETER: "I'm not a camp d'aide for nothing!!" DAVY: "You know, that three o'clock in the afternoon, there would be somebody at city hall!" MICKY: "Maybe they're on their coffee break!" PETER: "How long is their coffee break?" MIKE: "From 9 to 5!!" DAVY: "What are we going to do with all this money?" MICKY: "It's two days 'till election!!! We can blow this town wide open!!" MIKE: "Micky, the town's already wide open, man! That's what we're trying to change!" MICKY: "It's two days 'till election!!! We can blow this town wide closed!!" |
