1:02:00
I come up with the good tunes,
or melodies, as we call them...

1:02:04
Morris is the lyrics.
1:02:06
Not unlike Gary Brooker
of Procol Harum.

1:02:09
We don't ever played songs
y'all wrote. I ain't heard one of them.

1:02:12
Y'all just talk.
1:02:14
We don't play any songs
with words at all.

1:02:17
We ain't got no fucking microphone!
We ain't got no speakers!

1:02:22
We wrote one last night
outside the mini-mart.

1:02:24
Morris called it, "Stuart Drives
a Comfortable Car."

1:02:28
Then, like in country songs,
in parenthesis it says...

1:02:34
"There's usually someone in the trunk."
1:02:37
And I came up with a tune,
just humming.

1:02:40
You don't wanna question
a genius, Vaughan.

1:02:43
Morris here's a modern-day poet.
1:02:46
Kind of like in the olden times.
1:02:48
Yeah, I got a new tune. This
composition's entitled, "The Thrill."

1:02:53
Goes something like this:
1:02:55
I stand on the hill,
not for a thrill...

1:03:00
but for a breath of a fresh kill.
1:03:03
Never mind the man who contemplates...
1:03:06
doing away with license plates.
1:03:09
He stands alone anyhow...
1:03:11
baking the cookies of discontent...
1:03:15
by the heat of the laundromat vent.
1:03:18
Leaving his soul.
1:03:20
Then, like in poetry,
I go dot, dot, dot.

1:03:24
You know, kind of off-center,
then I drop down...

1:03:27
and then I go: Leaving his soul...
1:03:30
parting the waters
of the medulla oblongata...

1:03:34
of...
1:03:37
mankind.
1:03:39
Damn good song, wasn't it?
You like that song?

1:03:42
All right.
1:03:44
I don't think that's right.
1:03:46
I believe the "dot, dot, dot"
come between...

1:03:49
"medulla" and "oblongata."
1:03:55
Well, it did.
1:03:57
The dots are where I say they are.
1:03:59
Melody and tune.
That's your trade, Terence.
