Beef Man, you better get yourself a castrato for this, 'cause it's a little out of my range.
Something bothering you, Beef?
Beef Swan, this was scored for a chick. I'm not doing it in drag.
You can sing it better than any bitch.
Beef You don't know how right you are, Goliath.
Beef Oh, I knew I shouldn't be screwing around with the dead man's music. This place is possessed.
What are you talking about?
Beef You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does.
Opening night prima donnas. Look, iron man, if you're so uptight, take a shower and cool off.
Beef Listen, Philbin, there really is a phantom. He was just in my shower. He threatened my life. He said his music was just for Phoenix. Only she can sing it. Anyone who else who tries, dies.
What the hell are you talking about?
Beef Look, Philbin, I am a professional. I have been in this business a long time. Now if I don't want to do a show, it's not because I got stage fright. It's because some creature from beyond doesn't want me to do the show. Now gangway.

I know what it is.
Beef Oh, you do, huh?
Yeah. Do you wanna know what it is?
Beef Why don't you tell me what it is?
Speed, that what it is.
Beef Speed?
Yeah.
Beef What do you know about it? You just pass the stuff out, I take it. I know drug real from real real.
