"One of, one of the things that I like best about playing in New York is this
particular place, because it has - it has a stage that is conducive to, how you
say in the trade, audience participation. Now if there's one thing that I really
like, it's, uh, audience participation. Now listen... I gotta figure out something
that I can, uh - do you think we should have another dance contest tonight?
Oh, hey - the injured person dance contest. Ah, well, let's see...Awright, I'll
tell you what we're going to do. Here's a, here's a guy who really wants to
be in the dance contest aw-reety, aw-righty, hey. Okay..."

Humm.'"

"All right, now wait a minute - what's your name? Hey, hey - what's your

"Awright, the dynamic Butch. Here's, here's a girl that wants to dance with
Butch. What's your name?"

OTHER GUY:
"Frank, you're my buddy! Arrgh, mmf."
FZ:
"Awright, wait a minute, wait a minute. I have an important message to
deliver to all the cute people all over the world. If you're out there and
you're cute, maybe you're beautiful, I just want to tell you somethin' -
there's more of us ugly mother-fuckers than you are, hey-y, so watch out.
Now..."
GUY (BUTCH?):
"Will you bring my girlfriend on stage, maybe?"
FZ:
"Sure. All right, now you - he wants to get his girlfriend - go get your
girlfriend."
GIRL:
"Hey Zap!"

"Good to see you again."

"All right, now look, here's what we're going to do. Awright. Now. This -
they'll be mashed, I'll save them, I'll save them for later."
GUY:
"I'm not a fucking queer."
FZ:
"This man is trying desperately to let everybody know that he's not a queer.
He's not queer, he's not queer. Awright, and now... You are going to dance,
like you've never danced before..."
