CAMERA TRACKS BACK to reveal LARRY, outside the Boutique. The lights dim except for a lonely spot on LARRY, He is still dressed as ZAPPA, holding the lamp. He is seated on a stack of newspapers near some empty coke bottles. LARRY (to CAMERA) When you go on tour with a musical group, it's possible that any town can seem like this ... whether it's large or small or busy or if there's nothing happening in it. The reason for this is quite simple. A musician, if you consider the normal pattern of modern civilised life, is on the outside of it all ... he doesn't work regular hours like a decent God-fearing citizen ... the life he leads might, in many ways, seem useless and irrelevant to those of us who prefer a quiet evening in front of the television and a bottle of beer. Amazing as it might seem to some of us, musicians have basic physical needs, just like real people. Many of them study for years ... learning to play a violin, for instance ... only to be rewarded with a humdrum job in the fourth row of a symphonic string section ...
64 SCENE 21 (Cont) 32. Continued CAMERA 3 TRACKS with him as he stands, tucks the lamp under his arm, and walks around the corner toward the concentration camp. The Orchestra is rehearsing quietly on the pizzicato section of the "TUNA SANDWICH BALLET" ... GEORGE DUKE is conducting. LARRY con- tinues to narrate as he walks. LARRY That's one of the reasons the Government has constructed at great expense, this Experimental Re-orientation Facility ... He gestures toward the camp. to find a way, perhaps, to re- train these useless old musicians with their brown fiddles and little horns ... give them a useful trade; a reason to exist in a modern world ... a change for a happier, more productive life. LARRY enters the con- centration Camp. Some will enter the military. Some will learn shorthand. The CHORUS (new Unfortunately, some will dis- prisoners) are frog-marched appear in the middle of the passed LARRY into the camp, night on a special train they're whipped by RANCE and sending in ... it's the only way, HERBIE. really, to bring about a final solution to the Orchestra Question. 33.

The Orchestral plink- ing subsides and is replaced by quiet distant rock and roll tune up noises. LARRY, still in foreground continues: I'm sure most of us realize that a Pop Group will earn a vast amount of money, compared to these other kind of musicians.
65 SCENE 21 (Cont) 33. Continued LARRY (Continued) That's basically why the special Government Agencies in charge of Mass Response Programming and Psychological Stultification prefer to treat them in another, more subtle manner. They know, just as many of you vigilant and thoroughly upstanding citizens might have discovered for yourselves, the power of Pop Music to corrupt and putrefy the minds of World Youth are virtu- ally limitless. 34.

Do you people have any idea what it's like to play bass in THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION? Back up crap to a bunch of comedy music? It gets you so tense ... really ... the tension in this group. (Just refer to the interview I did in the Melody Maker last year ...) After a while on the road with this group you start to go crude ... you want to break things ... smash things ... or steal towels and ash trays out of the motel room ... anything to relieve the tension. I know Ian feels the same way, even though he doesn't talk about it. He's been doing this comedy shit for so many years now. It's a good thing he's got a wife with big tits so he doesn't have to steal any ash trays.
