Larry The Dwarf:
[to the viewers] Hello there. When you go on tour with a musical group, it's possible any town could look seem this. Whether it's large or small, busy or nothing happening in it. The reason for this is quite simple. As a musician, if you consider the normal pattern of modern civilized life, it's on the outside of your own. He doesn't build things. He doesn't work regular hours like a decent, God-fearing citizen. And the life he leads in many ways seems useless and irrelevant to those who prefer a quite evening sitting in front of the television and drinking a bottle of beer. Amazing as it might seem to some of us, musicians have basic physical needs just like real people. Many of them study for years. Such as learning how to play the violin for instance. Only to be rewarded with the hum-drum job of sitting in the fourth row of a symphonic string section. That is why the government, at great expense, constructed this experimental re-orientation facility.
