Sorry no silence
Sorry no service

no sequins
no sequence
no sevens
no severance
no surveillance
(all the time, everywhere)
no service
no silence
no silencers

Laurel & Hardy slip in through the side door. Lay their hats on the table.
Stan looks bewildered. Ollie is carrying a round green melon in his right
hand, fingers inserted as if it’s a bowling ball. The record begins to play…
Stan: This opening track’s a real banger.
Ollie: Cough syrup and speed.
Stan: [staring into space] Well, there’s a mix for you.
Ollie: This next one positively percolates.
Stan: The 10:23 from Amsterdam. We nearly missed it.
Ollie: And whose fault was that? Another nice mess.
Stan: Crowds frighten me. Sorry ...
Ollie: She’s not afraid of silliness and mischief, that’s for sure.
Stan: Neither are we.
[a continuous undertow of chatter]
Stan: I’ve been doing some accounting this afternoon ...
Ollie: Nothing ever adds up with you.
Stan: Watermelon on a turntable.
Ollie: When humor and anger collide?
Stan: This turntable kills fascists.
[cheering]
Ollie: Where’s Bryn Jones when we need him most?
Stan: Well, he isn’t taking his final at the music academy.
[laughter]
Ollie: This track is metallic and rubbery.
Stan: Regimented with bounce. Elastic.
Ollie: Synths oscillate continuously, with clank.
[thump, thump, thump, and a wavering background]
Stan: Can we sit down now?
Ollie: Musical chairs.
Stan: What do we like to do in an unfamiliar town?
Ollie: We go to the supermarket and buy tea bags.
Stan: We get on a bus. No idea where it’s going.
Ollie: And it doesn’t matter.
Stan: The bus driver is our DJ. ... The bus driver is our DJ.
Ollie: Now you’re repeating yourself.
Stan: This is clearly …

Repetition in the echo.
Repetition in the layers.
Repetition in Kaunas.
Repetition in the craters.
Repetition in cruelty.
Repetition in Berlin.
Repetition in the protest and we’re never gonna lose it.
Repetition in Latin, repetition in Cyrillic.
Repetition in history.
Repetition in the hotel amnesia.
Repetition in China, repetition in Russia.
Repetition in velocity.
Repetition everywhere.
Repetition in the music and we’re never gonna lose it.
Repetition in the protest and we’re never gonna lose it.
