American Duct Tape Council (GK: ... brought to you by the American Duct Tape Council. And here’s duct tape spokesperson Marlene Brower. SS: I got these rotten, no-good teenagers who live upstairs — I see ’em for about thirty seconds a day. Come down and eat supper outta the fridge like a bunch of buzzards on road kill, and then I see about ten seconds of ’em in the morning as they dash out of the house and ask for lunch money. Forty below outside and there they are in T-shirts ’n’ sneakers ’n’ a nylon jacket. And I can’t help it, I tell ’em, I say, “What are ya? Nuts or what?” And they look at me like I was their mother or somethin’. And I say, “At least take this with ya,” and I hand ’em a roll o’ silver duct tape. I dunno. It could come in handy. Ya never know. That’s my motto when it comes to duct tape. Ya never know. So why not take it with ya? GK: Thank you, Marlene. And thank you, Duct Tape, the miracle building material with a thousand uses around the home. It’s a better life with Duct Tape. And if you’re planning to attend our show in the next few months, why not bring along your entry in our Art Johnson Duct Tape Art Contest — winning entries will be displayed here at the world-famous Fitzgerald Theater. Please bring extra Duct Tape for hanging.) Cafe Boeuf ((FRENCH GIBBERISH) Fifteen below zero, yesterday, and the schools were closed, but was the Cafe Boeuf? (GALLANT FRENCH TOSS OF HEAD AND SARDONIC LAUGHTER ENDING IN POSSIBILITE) (GIBBERISH) Even under terrible conditions... (GIBBERISH) we French believe in living well. (DRAMATIC QUESTION) On the coldest days when others would go to bed and turn their faces to the wall, (GIBBERISH) we French would go to the refrigerator (GIBBERISH) and take out a piece of cheese (GIBBERISH), a pumpkin (GIBBERISH), a lemon (GIBBERISH), an egg (GIBBERISH), a pickle (GIBBERISH), mustard (GIBBERISH), a little peanut butter, (SUAVE GIBBERISH) and make something truly fabulous. (SUAVE GIBBERISH) Some delicate masterpiece (SUAVE GIBBERISH), some triumph of ingenuity - (SUAVE LAUGHTER) we French laugh at adversity - (GIBBERISH) that is what it means to be French (GIBBERISH), to make from adversity a work of art (GIBBERISH) so can we close our cafe in cold weather? (TK: Non non non non non non!) ---- No. (HEROIC GIBBERISH) And so if on my way to open the Cafe on a cold morning (QUIET HEROIC GIBBERISH), I were to give my coat to a poor beggar (HEROIC GIBBERISH) and then suddenly feel very sleepy (QUIET TRAGIC GIBBERISH) and lie down in the snow (SLIGHT SOB) and sleep (FAINT GIBBERISH) I would know that another Frenchman would take my place (GIBBERISH) and prepare the onion soup (GIBBERISH INCL "CROUTONe), and the croutons, (GIBBERISH, AS HE UNCORKS WINE) and that is why, in such a cold winter (GIBBBERISH) we must never save the great wines for later (GIBBERISH), we must drink them today. (POURING, GIBBERISH INCL. "COURAGE! MON AMI!") Courage, my friends. --- A message from the Cafe Boeuf. (CLINK OF GLASSES.)) Guy Noir- Private Eye The Lives of the Cowboys
