We've got to find a way to keep
the Fooksburgh Mafia from charging $500 a ticket for our show. It's just
not right.

019 - GIG, PART TWO
|
|
When we left our heroes, they'd just had a run-in with the Fooksburgh Mafia. |

We've got to find a way to keep

|
| Bono | |
 |
I've got it. When people get their
tickets taken at the door, we'll just slip the money back to them.
|
| Larry Mullen, | Jnr. |
|
Brilliant. In the last five seconds
I've only managed to think of sixteen things wrong with that plan.
|
| The Edge | |
 |
Where are we going to get the
cash?
|
| ScottPhisto | |
 |
I can help you guys out. I've
got a few bucks stashed away,
enough to pay for all those tickets. |
| Bono | |
|
Where'd you make that kind of
money?
|
| ScottPhisto | |
|
Oh, I guess you could say I run
a little import/export business.
|
| Larry Mullen, | Jnr. |
|
What's that supposed to mean?
|
| ScottPhisto | |
|
Well, to be more specific, I deal
in speculations, futures...
|
| The Edge | |
|
Like what?
|
| ScottPhisto | |
|
Okay, okay, I make and sell fake
casts so that kids can cut in line at Disneyland. Do you want my help
or not?
|
| Larry Mullen, | Jnr. |
|
That just leaves the problem of:
How are we going to take tickets if we're on stage?
|
| The Edge | |
|
That's simple. We'll just hire
a lookalike band to do the show for us. I'll bet we can find them on the
Fooksburgh Craig's List.
|
| The Edge | |
|
*typing*
"Wanted: U2 lookalike band for pub gig." |
|
TWO DAYS LATER. |
|
| Bono | |
|
Any repsonses?
|
| The Edge | |
|
None! And there's only one day
left before the gig!
|
| Bono | |
|
Let me try:
|
| Bono | |
|
*typing*
"SWF, blonde, 5'9", 110 lbs. seeks U2 lookalike band for pub gig and good times. No strings attached." |
| Bono | |
