                           WHITEY (CONT'D)
               So now t’night, Ladies ‘n’ Gents, I 
               am most pleased t’ intr’duce on ther’ 
               long-awaited return engagement t’ 
               Whitey’s Blooze Bar, direct from the 
               Windy City t’ our own Indy City,...
                    (with enthusiasm)
               Blind Brother Dex and The Seeing-Eye 
               Dogs!

     COVER SHOT: As Whitey leaves the stage, only one drunken 
     Regular APPLAUDS—-one beat per second. The rest of the 
     Regulars remain indifferent.

                           WEXLER
                    (off-mic)
               Yeah, up yers, Whitey!

                           WHITEY
                    (off-mic)
               Yeah, up yers, Wexler! I’m countin’ 
               them pretzels there!

     SHOT CONTINUES: BLIND BROTHER DEX AND THE SEEING-EYE DOGS 
     ENTER. First on the stage is harmonica player ASTIGMATIC 
     HARPO MARX, wearing thick-lensed glasses. Next is BLIND 
     BROTHER DEX, who wears dark glasses, and carries a white-
     tipped cane and a guitar. He is followed by the bassist and 
     drummer, NEAR-SIGHTED NATE and TUNNEL-VISION VINCE, who also 
     wear thick-lensed specs.  Everyone blunders to his place: 
     Blind B.D. to a stool center-stage, harmonica player to one 
     side, bass player on the other, drummer in back. But when 
     Blind B.D. gets positioned on his stool, he is facing the 
     bassist, not the disinterested audience.

     MS: Blind B.D. sweeps the air for his microphone, but his 
     hand connects with the peghead of the bass. He speaks to the 
     peghead.

                           BLIND BROTHER DEX
                    (off-mic)
               Hey, we’re sure glad t’ be back here 
               in Naptown....

     FOUR-SHOT: At first the myopic Dogs are oblivious to Blind 
     B.D.’s disorientation. But then Harpo finally sees that Blind 
     B.D. is off-target. Harpo turns Blind B.D. so he’s facing 
     his microphone.

                           BLIND BROTHER DEX (CONT'D)
                    (on-mic, continuing)
               ...Haven’t played here since that 
               wrongful restroom incident back in 
               Eighty-Eight.
