A Mighty Wind

Amber Cole:
[referring to her working relationship with Wally Fenton] We work together very well. It's almost as like we have one brain that we share between us.

Mark Shubb:
To do then now would be retro. To do then then was very now-tro, if you will.

Lawrence E. Turpin:
Alright, here's your giant banjo...

Jonathan Steinbloom:
Um-hmm. It's very flat.

Lawrence E. Turpin:
Well, it doesn't look flat from in the audience.

Jonathan Steinbloom:
It has basically, no dimension to it.

Lawrence E. Turpin:
Well, it's painted to look three dimensional. If you go back there, trust me...

Jonathan Steinbloom:
But it's not painted on the back. I'm looking ot the back right now. Will you look with me for a minute?

Lawrence E. Turpin:
Why would it be... From the audience it's gonna look perfectly fine. And It looks three dimensional. Just go out there and take a peek.

Jonathan Steinbloom:
Well, is this the real furniture or is this the rehearsal furniture?

Lawrence E. Turpin:
Well, A it's not called furniture. It's a set.

Jonathan Steinbloom:
Uh-huhh...

Lawrence E. Turpin:
And it's painted this way. It looks completely three dimensional from the audience, if you just go out that way, Mr. Steinbloom.

Jonathan Steinbloom:
So this is the real furniture, and this is... Is this an actual street lamp?

Lawrence E. Turpin:
I'm sure it was at one time.

Jonathan Steinbloom:
Can you have an actual three dimensional object that's represents the thing that it actually is, can that be next to something that it's pretending to be? Would that be okay?

Lawrence E. Turpin:
Yes, it's perfectly fine. You know, I really don't have time to explain Stagecraft 101. This show starts in an hour. Now, every... everything is exactly the way you...

Jonathan Steinbloom:
And what are tho... what's tha... that... Those are lights hanging up there?

Lawrence E. Turpin:
Yes, those are lights...

Jonathan Steinbloom:
Could they fall?

Lawrence E. Turpin:
...and that's a ceiling above us!

Jonathan Steinbloom:
But they look shaky.

Lawrence E. Turpin:
No, they're not shaky, they're perfectly...

Jonathan Steinbloom:
Is that wire? I see a wire. I see a...

[Lawrence smacks him on the head]

Jonathan Steinbloom:
Oww!

Leonard Crabbe:
I'm a model train enthusiast.

Amber Cole:
Oh! That's great!

[chuckles]

Leonard Crabbe:
Yes... sort of a whole layout in my basement. Very much a big passion for me, 'tis.

Amber Cole:
Yeah. Thank God for model trains.

Leonard Crabbe:
Oh, absolutely.

Amber Cole:
You know, if they didn't have the model train, they wouldn't have gotten the idea for the big trains.

Leonard Crabbe:
[Leonard shows Mitch his model trains] This whole area here is called Crabbe Town. We've got a brothel down there above the saloon. And right down there further along I'm thinking of building a French Quarter. I've actually got a bit of French blood.

Mitch Cohen:
I would love to see this town in the autumn. I think Crabbeville in autumn would look quite magnificent. I would have made tiny little leaves, oak, poplar, maple, chestnut, and spread them across the town of Crabbe...ville. Magnificent.

Leonard Crabbe:
It's Crabbe Town, not Crabbeville.

[Members of "The Folksmen" are talking about their first record]

Alan Barrows:
And they had no hole in the center of the record.

Mark Shubb:
It would teeter crazily on the little spindle.

Jerry Palter:
No, you had to provide it yourself. They were still good records. Good product.

Mark Shubb:
If you punched a hole in them, you'd have a good time.

Jerry Palter:
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.

[camera pulls out to reveal Mark Shubb dressed as a woman]

Mark Shubb:
It was like a great big door opening for me... Town Hall... after that concert, I realized I wanted to spend as much of the rest of my life as possible playing folk music with these gentlemen...

Jerry Palter:
Right back atcha.

Mark Shubb:
...and I wanted to spend all of it as a woman. I came to a realization that I was - and am - a blonde, female folk singer trapped in the body of a bald, male folk singer and I had to LET ME OUT or I WOULD DIE.

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

Alan Barrows:
Almost.
