All Mothers:
MAN!


Larry The Dwarf:
Oh! Er, he's making me leave here now. I'll see you later when we play.


Howard:
What?


Larry The Dwarf:
I don't expect you to understand that, because uh, we haven't formed the group yet.


Jeff (Martin):
Ah, Mark'll play the bass . . . Howie'll sing and play sax . . . I'll play the guitar . . . . . . and the Dwarf he'ill play drums!


Howard:
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute! Wait a minute! This guy isn't even a dwarf!


Jeff (Martin):
That's one of the reasons the group will be so commercial!


Mark:
What about the other guys?


Jeff (Martin):
Ah, they're already forming groups all over the place! Why wait till the end of the movie? We could have a hit single right now!


Mark:
He's right, he's right! We don't need Aynsley . . .


Howard:
No . . .


Mark:
We don't need Ian . . .


Howard:
No . . .


Mark:
We don't need George!


Howard:
No!


Mark:
We don't need anybody! Argh!


Howard:
No!


Jeff (Martin):
He needs us, remember. We don't need him! All those other guys are too old for rock. They're out of it! We can have a tight little heavy little band with this Dwarf here. You know, that he, he used to play drums for Leon Russell . . .


Mark & Howard:
Ohh . . .


Mark:
Listen, you're right. Zappa's thirty.


Jeff (Martin):
Yeah . . .


Mark:
Thirty years old!


Howard:
Oh, he's out of it, man! He's too old. He should retire.


Jeff (Martin):
Yeah, really. You can't trust old people. You know, we should take up a collection and buy him a watch.
