the real thing this is an end of an

era and as they say in the Jewish

religion when a boy turns 31 today I am

a man I'm leaving

home

do now is for me to express my feelings

in

song we had joy we had fun we had

Seasons in the Sun we had wine but the

wine like the seasons have all gone like

down the street so Fancy free nobody you

a*tillery hey

get out of here you bum a train tracks

are on the other side of town sir please

before you embarrass yourself any

further let me assure you I am not a

hobo don't give me that crap I've roused

enough transient butt in my day to know

a slobbering brain dead derelict when I

see one okay fine I see I'm going to

have to prove something

here sir what does the label on my pants

say

Jord Dash correctamundo and how many

bums do you know that wear designer

pants Point well taken sorry Chief what

can I do for you well um according to

your ad in the classified section here

um you have a room for rent I don't have

any room for rent wait a minute that's

not my

address oh oh jeez I I'm sorry I must

have misread it I wanted 23 Maple and

and this is uh 4 York

Lane yeah well I I guess you must get

that all the time with the you know the

phonic similarity and all anyway a

thousand apologies say and I do hope you

enjoy the rest of your day get lost you

jerk

oh what a sweet man hey K uh how much

were you uh planning to spend on a place

uh $150 a month you know ironically you

are in the right place yeah I must have

given the paper the wrong address by

mistake I got a habit of placing ads

when I'm drunk my name is

Gus well this is

it yeah very interesting huh now it's

funny it it kind of looks like a garage

yeah there is a slight garage Motif

that's what I had my designer go

for oh yeah no I think it's actually the

garage door over there that gives it

that whole garage feel actually that's

what they call a French horizontal door

it lends itself to the overall French

garage

theme yes huh oh well then I take it

you've been to g*y

perie oh yeah I'm over there at least

once a month you know basically uh

clothes

shopping sounds

fun hm now that's interesting is that me

or does it smell like cars in

n that's probably that pile of gasoline

soaked Rags you'll find it after a while

the fumes will make you

happy oh this place has everything

jeez well Gus in in keeping with my

lifetime history of making snap

irrational decisions I'll take the place

let me add the lease and I'll just put

my old Bob Hancock on

it oh here just sign this okay oh now

that's that's odd this looks like a

receipt for an oil change yeah I'm

saving papers ex set the whole

rainforest

deal uh here's the key to the place it's

one of those new electronic jobs you

might have a rough time getting copies

made a second Gus this place is a garage

and don't try to deny it either because

it says garage right here on this little

crazy Gizmo that you gave me all right

you got me it's a

garage well that's great

I like it even

better oh my gosh you know this is like

a dream come

true all my life I've lived over a

garage and I could only dream of what it

would be like to actually live in a

garage oh sure let all the ordinary

losers live in their apartments and

their their Posh mansions and their

laundry shoots I wanted a special place

a a place that's different that's that's

holy

a place that's only reserved for

precious

exalted shiny

cars yeah right uh well here's your

fully ex*cuted copy of the lease and U

welcome aboard tenant oh well thank you

very much

Gus as Bogart said at the end of

Casablanca I think this is the beginning

of uh two guys who kind of tolerate each

other I'm going for a beer now don't

bother

me I think I've died and gone to

heaven well I'm home homie h*m*

homeron oh you know now that I look

around to this place it's a bit of a

wreaking filth

hole well I better just roll up my

sleeves and start spruing up the

place

there just

so boy that was a bit of an a*s

grinder now this place is almost clean

enough to have sex in unfortunately it's

time for

bed wait a second Mom and Dad aren't

here I can stay up as late as I want

this calls for some wild cavorting in my

undies oh now come on just because your

mom and dad aren't here it's no reason

to go Hog Wild besides they're right if

I don't get my 9 hour sleep I get very

cranky and very

cicky Hey

kid who are you G I own the place

remember are you some kind of squirrel

brain or

something

of me sir well I thought you might need

some blankets they stink a little but I

didn't think you'd

mind no you're right I don't mind thank

you very much hey you really fixed the

place up you got a decorator's

eyes yeah um you know I'm right in the

middle of preparing for bed here and uh
