Audience: Zappa! Zappa! "Dinah-Moe Humm"! Hey! Come on, Frank! Zappa!

Audience: Hey, Frank! Ruth Underwood! . . .
FZ: Someone has just asked me where is Ruth Underwood. Well, I'll tell you, Ruth Underwood is back in Los Angeles. Ruth is, uh, well, how shall I say this? Ruth fell in love with somebody on the road and uh, had to go home and do something about it.
Audience: Hey, Frank! Frank! Where's Howie?
FZ: Steven McIntyre, I have a surprise for you. Your wife is having a B-A-B-Y and would love to have you come down there and take a look at it. I repeat. Steven McIntyre is a dad. Let's have a big round of applause for Steven. Congratulations, Steven!
Audience: Hey, Frank! Frank! Where's Howie? Where's Howie? Frank! . . . Frank, where's Aynsley?
FZ: Someone has just asked whatever happened to Aynsley Dunbar. Aynsley Dunbar is probably at this very moment in a drugstore, a Thrifty Drug Store, buying some silver fingernail polish.
Audience: Frank! Where's Howie? Frank! Where's Howie!
FZ: Howie— Someone has just asked me whatever happened to Howie. Howie is next to Mark somewhere. The name of this song, in response to a rapidly diminishing number of requests, is "Cosmik Debris." One, two, three, four . . .
