Auspicious Occasion

FZ: Hello?
Welcome to Carnegie Hall, ladies and gentlemen.

this, but if you could just be patient for a couple of minutes while we tune up

Audience: Yeah!

Mark?: I’m eighteen
FZ: Now, listen.

Mark?: Larry Fischer
FZ: Up your own alley.
Hah, hah.
.
Mark?: Wild Man Fischer, ladies and gentlemen
FZ: The reason why some of you might find this a little bit too devious is
because it’s in German
