Daughter Jests: If you know what it likes to purchase season tickets with money you earned at your job in the bus station bathroom, you know what it means to be green.
Papa Jests: If you know what its like to have the most embarrassing play of all time as one of your greatest highlights, you know what to means to be green.
Son Jests: Daddy can we watch the performance on television while we feast?
Papa Jests: Why not…its about time we get some use out of the flatscreen we stole from our neighbors!
Daughter Jests: Is he performing tonight?
Son Jests: I hope so (turning the television on) he is so dreamy

A FLUTE BEGINS TO PLAY IN THE BACKGROUND. THE MUSIC OF MY HEART GOES ON BEGINS TO PLAY IN THE BACKGROUND
Colonpokey: (singing) oooooooooooh……(he raises a finger to his mouth) shhhhhhhhh
THE CROWD RECOGNIZES THE SONG AND APPLAUDS LOUDLY
Colonpokey: (singing)
Ev’ry night in my dreams, I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance and anus between us
You have come to show you go on
I’m talking about you Geno Smith!
Colonpokey: (singing)
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the hamster heart does go on
Michael Vick will not have your job because I’m your hero
Once more you open your shorts and you’re
Here in my little hamster heart and my little hamster heart will go on and on
Colonpokey: (singing)
Poke can touch us one time and last for a
Lifetime and never let go till we’re gone
Poke, was when I pokied you, one true time
I had to, in my life we’ll always go on
Colonpokey: (singing)
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the hamster heart does go on
Once more you open your shorts and you’re
Here in my little hamster heart and my little hamster heart will go on and on
You’re here, there’s nothing I fear, and I know
That my little hamster heart will go on. We’ll stay forever this way
You are safe in my little hamster heart and my little hamster heart will go on
And on
