David St. Hubbins:
I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object.
Ian Faith:
I really think you're just making much too big a thing out of it.
Derek Smalls:
Making a big thing out of it would have been a good idea.

Things have been going really well. We got some gigs here, working at the casinos. It has been a time of changes, but change is good. Change is life.

Jerry Palter:
When you put it that way, it's almost poetry.
Alan Barrows:
Almost.
