VERBATIM (part 2) (OCRed; starts on page 5 of the transcript of the tape)

AC: You started it, right lynn?
LG: I started it you're darn right I started it I didn't start it I....

*

CB: The toilet overflowed,
UN: The toilet overflowed?
CB: The toilet overflowed.
MD: That's TOO BAD.
AC: Feeling better Stoney?
SS: Yeah, I'm feeling great.
CB: I feel like I'm gonna throw up.
SS: Derby feels like a million dollars.
DS: Curt Burch feels like he's going to throw up, is that true, Curt?
CB: Yes,Mom, Dad, I'm sorry; I'm sorry, Mr. Whately, I'm sorry, Mr. Connaly.
DS: He doesn't have his glasses on, Mom and Dad, when he got rid of those glasses is when it started. When he got rid of the glasses; I'm sorry, that had nothingn to do with it; it was the glasses and maybe, maybe the bell bottoms.
LG: Have you thrown up?
CB: Not yet.
LG: Has he thrown up in here?
CP' He hasn't thrown up yet. Sorry...I won't verify that.
LG: Doug. I'm going in sane.
DS: Well join the rest of the crowd!
LG: I DON'T WANT TO JOIN THE REST OF THE CROWD!
DS: But you say you're going insane
LG: Not that kind of insane. I'm going normal insane, not loony insane.
DS: You in a bag, cat, you bug out!
LG: (TO CB) How long you been drunk?
CE7s I don't know.
LG: You started getting drunk about 11, didn't you?
CB: I don't know. How do I get out of this?
DS: Look, Curt, you aren't gonna come down. You're never gonna come down.
LG: Come on, Doug, don't be mean to him, he's never baen drunk,
DS: You're always gonna be drunk, Curt.
CP: I'll never come down??
DS: You'll never be sane again. See, that's the thing about getting really
drunk. That's the difference between being sorta drunk, and really drunk.
When you're really drunk, once you get that way, it doesn't ever leave you.
JL: Think what he feels right now, though. Think of the fact that he doesn't
know he's on a merry-go-round, but he's NOT on a merry-go-round. Think of the fact that he doesn't know he's on a this, but he's on a that. Think of the
fact that he doesn't know he's on the Log Ride, but he is. Think of the fact
that he doesn't know he's on the roller coaster ride, but he is! Think of
the fact that he doesn't know he's on the Spanada, drunk roller coaster
ride but he IS in the SpanadaJ
(close to microphone, whispering intensely) Think of the fact that he's not
on the fact that a group of drunks possibly insists that a group of drunka
possibly insists that anybody would be on the fact that he's very symbolically
drunk. Think of the fact that a person is symbollically drunk, wouldn't know what's wrong with him. Emotion is Heironymous Bosch, which I mean by Brock (sp?), would probably be very cosmically drunk; I mean that; I mean a person that's "Brock. is a person that's 'Bach.' Brock and Bock mean the same thing; in other words a person who's 'Brockilly' drunk is a person who's 'Bockily' drunk.
DS: You people are using the wrong drug, that's all I have to say.
LG:I know, I feel the same way.
DS: You're using the wrong drug, daddy-o, you're gonna get sick that way.
LG: Be nice to Curt, please7
DS: Well? I mean, I mean, he's not gonna remember any of this damn thing anyway.
CB: I still don't know what's going on.
LG: I know.
JL: (extremely slurred) That's the truth. Don't think you're above everybody here. That's the only thing to remember.
CB: Are you guys trying to make me sick some more?
JL: Uh huh.
CB: Why?
JL: The only thing to remember is that you're above everybody here.
LG: Jim, shut up! Please!
CB: Why are you saying that?
JL: Because I know that if you really believe it you'll lnow that you are
above everybody hereand that the only problem is that you don't believe
you are above everybody here
UN: Are you? Do you believe?
JL: I do. Some people. Not that I'm drunk, I don't believe that I'm above everybody here; because I'm very drunk. But I believe that you're drunk enough to think that you're very drunk. That's about all. I'm very drunk. But what I believe, even though I'm not, I believe I'm drunk enough to be above everybody here. That's why I'm drunk enough to think, hell, I've drunk scotch, bourbon,
CB: Put on Swiss Movement or something. I'm tired of this Judy Garland shit.
LG: It just came on! We've been listening to ~Swiss Movement for three hours!
CB: Put on Cat ~Stevens.
UN~ Huh?
DS: (brandishing microphone): I'm only the ears, folks, I'm only the ears.

*

HW: (quoting a song, singing)s There's mutiny in the nursery, There's mutiny in the. nursery, Mother Goose is on the loose Her kids are swingin out.

DS: I've heard that cartoon.

HW: Four and twenty blackbirds, baked in a pie, when the pie was opened the birds began to swing,oh there's mutiny in the nursery, theres...(etc.)

DSs Really good. Good song. Like that.

JL: (takes microphone to himself; no one at party can hear him. Whispering.) (indecipherable)....Curt Burch won't let me talk to him because Lynn Gaspar talked to him & convinced him that he's drunk; therefore I can't talk to him and convince him that he's just... out of his first plane of reality. Therefore Lynn Gaspar is taking over this plane... therefore I have failed... at the first plane, but when it comes to the 14th plane, I have succeeded. Believe me, God, I have succeeded... don't let this first plane receed... let the first plane see silence has been God, silence is God; therefore God is (unintelligible) .... 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6,7,8, '3, lO, l1, 12, 13th, 14th Believe me it's all Curt Burch, (unintelligible)...because Lynn Gaspar intercedes, BELIEVE ME, on New Years Eve Lynn Gaspar interceded, I mean I can't help it; she just interceded. I don't know if she paid the money; however she paid in all the pain and shit that she suffered, y'knowwhatImean? I mean she paid in all the shit that she suffered because I wasn't back before 11:30, right, because I had been drinking. Okay, fine. But she PAID for this pain that she suffered to Curt Burch, because she hasn't.., paid for the pain because I didn't return till 11:30. If you don't get it, that's life. But I mean, you know, I mean that's life. Well, I've been 25, 23' 35, 45, 55, 60; Curt got the real thing, okay fine....
AC: First time... first time. A virgin wino...
JL: A VIRGIN WiNO, I mean that's life... That's life, that's life, that's life...
AC: Right through the thin, tenuous membrane... Right through the membrane of that tenuous scotch and bourbon...and whiskey...

JL: And wine, beer and wine andbeer and wine... I mean it! Wine, and beer; but people don't believe us.

AC: No; you mix the stuff and you really go ....(unintelligible)

JL: It's not moving at all...

AC: You mix the stuff and it's deadly. Deadly poison. You can ask Lynn's grandmother about it. She knows that if you mix it, it's death.

JL: DEATH IS LIKE... LIFE.

AC: He drank sixteen beers. And that one little jig of whiskey, that just killed, right there.

HW: (snatching microphone) I don't know if you can hear me saying this, but I haven't slept for over 48 hours. 72 hours now...

JL: If you've only got one pocket, you're not alive!!

HW: You know, you're so stupid you don't know your prick from K-Mart. You're so stupid you don't...

JL: You're so stupid you don't know you r prick from two lights on a policecar from Carrolton.

HW; You're so stupid you don't know your nuts from Batteries Not Included.

AC: You're so stupid you don't know your nuts from... ducks.

HW: You're so stupid you think your penis is all about It's Too Late... You think that song's about your penis.

JL: You're so stupid you don't know that Curt Burch thinks that a Canadian Whiskey, uh, Rose, is the same as two pricks sitting over a hot roasting open fire.

HW: You're so stupid you think your penis is a watering glass...

LG: Hello, hello, hello...

JL: Doug, sometimes I think everything is a dead eyelash, sometimea I think that bred, dead people are the same as the 14th level of human beings, on the level on which Nirvanas are used, the level on which humon beings, which think like apes, which is a ten-thousand year evolution level, is not true because life is not real on the time level... I mean, time does not exist, therfore life does not exist, that's why I am back to the amoeba and the fact that Stoney vomited, Because life dosa not live sn that level, amoebas live on that level. Amoebas are before life. Amoebas are....

HW: You're so stupid you don't know your penis from "Baparesco" (sp?)...

*

JL: I've told what I think, that amoebas are not life; amoebas are before life. Okay, all I can do is smile like this, and talk to you and explain it later. Because if I smile like this and talk to you and explain it later, you'll understand. Because half, 50% of this I can explain later, and 50% I can explain now. And the 50%that I can explain now, you'd understand, but the 50% that I'd explain later, you couldn't understand... and I'll explain it later, when you're the 50% that I'm not 50%. that's because it's (?) and I've got a bellybutton. Look at it. A bellybutton -- pretty nice, huh?

DS: Yeah.

JL: Thank you. It's a very good bellybutton. Curt Burch has almost as good a
bellybutton. Listen to the end of this song, it's got a very good end.
The end of this song has a weird chord, if we could get to this speaker here
Thank you very much; sit down right here, next to the couch; I want you to
hear this ending chord. Which is the volume switch? Watch this.
(tape recorder stops momentarily)
Doug, don't turn off the tape recorder! Ok finel I just wanta hear one chord.
About 30 seconds. Finnnne. Lynn's talking about Curt getting O.K. and telling Ana. That's finebecause 1 don't care. You understand. I pissed a couple of times... I'm sorry. I wish Doug would talk, but he's not so egocentric (unintelligeble) ,'

LG: Did you take some wine in the car when you left?
JL: Oh no; come on, I just brought back some Spanada
LG: (accusing) Did you take any to drink with you? You didn't take...
JL: No, we just brought back some Spanada for you all to drink.
LG: Okay...
JL: (into microphone) Shit, I'm lying so fucking much. It's ok, I don't care

*
(DS and JL discuss an upcoming journey. Doug sets a date, and Jim states
that it is "O.K." and that he will believe the journey will take place.)

JL: Because right now, I believe in the theory that O.K. is O.K., whether Lynn
thinks Mummy will take Mrs. Heikula will do so and so, whether Mum thinks
Cold Duck will be lost, therefore so and so; I believe in O.K., therefore,
O.K. If anybody were to say a quote from Jim Long right now, it would be,
'`OK, therefore OK; therefore, OK!" That's life right now. After half a
bottle of Spanada, 1/2 a bottle of Rum Bacardi, 1/2 a bottle of Spanada with Hugh
and Curt Burch, about an eighth a bottle of scotch with Curt, about two glasses of champaigne, it says, "OK half a bottle of this... OK."

DS: We're almost out of tape. JL: It really isn't in this 1972 year. It's reaching the year where life is not a toad. God! Life is not a toad! Man, it's turning into the year where life is not a toad. It's progressed that one fucking level. That's what's fucked you up. The fact that life has been a toad for about half your levels until about 17, and then God damn, life turns into not a toad. It's great. In 2420 the problem will be completely cleared up, because life will definitely not be a toad. Right now, it is about one eighteenth a toad. Life's a toad, you hate toads; however in about an eighteenth of a millinium, life will not be a toad therefore you'll be able to smile during New Years. Which is what I've been waiting for for about eighteen years. What the fuck, I don't care. In about 5 years you'll be able to say, "life is not a toad." That's why.... (tape runs out)

*

(the following is the segment used at the end titles of WORLD OF THE FUTURE)

DS: We've gotta get a good recording quality on this...

JL: If you think that that makes any sense I'll repeat it again... I understand that this party has gone as far as a Lynn Gaspar party should have gone, "Blah, blah blah" is what I said just before I said what I just said. Because I thought that Lynn's grandmother should've taken up the level of cosmic consciousness that I just encompassed by the fact that I said, "Lynn Gaspar's party has gone as far as it should," because the point that she has been does not feel that the party should've gone this far because cosmic consciousness cannot escape this blah blah blah level, and that this level has blah blah blah encompassed every level that she has experienced has encompassed, therefore I believe that we should have at least half... a.... half a pint... of... now I'm gonna say it serious.

I believe, world, that we should have half a quart of scotch, go to some park with sweaters... and... coats, and drink it; and bring in the REAL New Year. Believe me, the real New Year hasn't fucking come yet. The real New Year comes when we're just sitting there smiling, kissing boys without using fucking hands, kissing girls because we really like them, not for sex; kissing everybody because fuck, man, it's just a fun thing to do.

And shit, fuck everything... We could sit there... and we could do it with the half a pint of scotch, sit in some fucking goddamn park and just be anonymous to every other human being on the earth, which is what it fucking takes... You've gotta be fucking anonymous to every fucking moving animal. Down to the
fucking amoeba. It's weird as SHIT, man if you never watch TV. If you watch
TV it's not weird, but believe me, if you don't watch TV it gets weird as .SHIT
man because every fucking anonymous thing becomes anonymous because everybody else watches TV BLAH BLAH BLAH BLA~i What the fuck, are you doing sitting here talking to a fucking microphone because you just finished off half a gallon of S,panada, BLAH BLAb. BLAH you just finished off another half gallon of Bacardi Rum, you finished off another half gallon of regular.... shit, sitting around, shooting off your mouth on something... you're beginning to be inundated by molecules that were hit by drunkeness BLAH BLAH BLAH you wanna talk about something cosmic because the rest of the year would go better, so would Doug's rest of the year...believe me I know it would. Because drunkeness ia just the way life goes on. And goes on in a way that life doesn't go on when you say it goes 'on,' it goes on in the way it goes on when you say that life goes ON. BLAH BLAH BLAH, that's life in the big FUCKING city...

God, I'd like to go somewhere right now and get drunk drunk drunk DRUNK, have somebody drag me home, put me in my bed which I've already prepared by the way, so I can come in as drunk as I want, at 3:OO in the morning and have Alex come in and sleep in Anson's room, believe me, I've already prepared for that. BLAH BLAH BLAH. OK... OFF... WITH... TAPE... RECORDER!!!!

*

(Later. DS, with recorder, entera Bathroom where Curt Burch is on the floor and JL and LG are, again, standing around.)

DS: So what's up?
JL: Nothing. Actually. Nothing. You're gonna have to close that door.
DS: FINE! (laughs) Hi, Curt! The wages of sin... all the time...
JL: Record. RECORD RECORD RECORDI
DS: It's recording, don't worry,
LG: (to Curt) You want anything?
CBs No, I'm okay now.
JL: No, no, no. (indicates recorder) You're gonna hear this in three
years, okay?
LG: Okay, (walks out the door)
CB: Stay...
(LG leaves and shuts door)
JL: Stay, he says... and he doesn't know it's gonna be recorded, in three years,...
CB: You recording... ARE YOU RECORDING, DOUG?
JL: (laughs) Keep up the image of recording, blah blah blah, rack rack rack,
nothing knows about nothing else, afterwards nothing has been knowing
about nothing? BLAH BLAH BLAH; nothing about a half gallon of Spanada,
being already drunk? Nothing about half a gallon of scotch being already
drunk? Nothing about gargling, being already gargled!
CB: Hey, there's a hair on the bathroom sink...here it is...
JL: Probablg a pubic hair. Do you think so7 Have you.,. Curt, have you ever
looked at your pubic hairs7 You have? You've looked through your legs
at your butt7 I have too, you know. I was just wondering about it tonlght.
Have you, too? (to DS,)
DS: Yeah. Through a mirror.
JL: But you looked through your legs, like this? (JL illustrates, bending
way down so his head is at his knees, looking between his legs)
DS: Yeah, right...
JL: Right, that's the only way I can see 'em. I was wondering how anybody
else can see them.
CBs You could look just down like this... (simply looks between his 1eg8).
JL: No, are you talking about really seeing your anus, though? Look through
the mirror, you know, that's sitting behind you? Looked at your anus like this (demonstrates again)
CB: Are you recording, Doug7
DS: Yeah.
JL: (indicating Curt) He's done it. Look at the way he talks.
DS: Yeah, he's made it out of there. He's back again.
LG: Curt? (from outside)
CBs Yeah, come on in.
LG: You okay in there?
CBs Yeah, I may continue throwing up. Who knows.
(JL again lists the things he has drank this night.)
JL: That's me. That's what I am right now.

(During this interval, it can be assumed that MD is off somewhere, fucking something.)

JL: I am mature... I... am going to college!
CB: Did you record me throwing up?
DS: No, I decided it wasn't worth the wait, I had no idea when it waa gonna
come...so I just, well, what the shit... too many encountor sessions going on.
CB: That's gonna be some tape. Some tape.
JL: Shit!
LG: It's starting to rain. Let's see if we can get him home...

(A doorbell rings)

DS: Who can it be?

(a number of giggling female voices come in. Unintelligible. They sound like
they are mimicing girls, silly society-tipe girls. But we can't be sure.
It seems to be MW and others, returning from somewhere.)

DS: Well, what do you say about the party as a whole, Martha?
MW: Oh, GEE, DOUG, IT WAS SOOO FUN!
DS: Don't feel that your self-consciousness is holding you back,,.
(MW laughs)
DS: Including the laugh...what do you think about it!
MW: OH GEE DOUG, IT WAS SUCH FUN...

(Stoney Savage is out. On the couch. JL shakes him)

JL: Stoney... STONEYYYYYY... Ok, Stoney... it's your best friend, stay down, stay down... your best friend says Happy New Year.
SS: Happy New Year, Stoney... (very garbled)
JL: (walking away) WeSll, I did that because I wanted it on the tape.
