2 scenesYou see? There's really no way to get a rent-controlled apartment.
No way at all?
Well, I mean, only if it's like, your mom's apartment, and, y'know, she, like, croaks! (Mrs. Grotowski walks out of the apartment building) Oh, how ya doin', Mrs. Grotowski! (Mrs. Grotowski coughs up her keys, which land in Joe's hand)
Oh my God!
Joe! Mrs. Grotowski doesn't have any family. You pose as her son, take her apartment!
What?!? I... I couldn't...!
Oh my God! Joe, it's your mother! And she's dead!
Congratulate me! This is the first of my works to use paint. I call this piece "Instant Minority." I did the whole block!
But people are black, or white, or brown; NOBODY'S PURPLE!
Periwinkle! You're now the world's smallest minority.
Dammit, Walter, how'm I s'posed to get a job looking like this?
Know how to play the drums?
No.
Perfect! Want a job? (man in beanie runs in front of them, turns, and fires ten shots from a handgun) I'm doing a musical performance at Gusto House. You can sit in for my regular drummer: he's dead.
Uhh... sure... what? He's dead?
Actually, it's a pretty funny story. You see, there's this crack dealer in our building, and so my drummer- (two cops run up and start firing down the street at the man in the beanie, drowning out Walter's story) slit his throat, you know, so badly that his own mom couldn't identify him at the morgue. (laughs) I'm going to miss that guy. So, is it a deal?
Well...
Excellent!
