ENSEMBLE: (singing) We got de talkin' shoes! We de MAMMY NUNS! The 'talking shoes', are designed to open in the front like a clam when the trigger (located at the heel) is depressed, revealing day-glo painted mutant toe nails THING-FISH: (Dominose Vobiskmmmmm!)

(MAMMIES, step faw'd 'n express yo'sevs!) The ENSEMBLE lifts their skirts, revealing customized lawn-jockeys with the out-stretched lantern-bearing arm positioned between their legs Instead of a lantern, the hand of each jockey clutches a shower-head plumbing fixture On cue, what appears to be piss sprinkles onto HARRY, RHONDA, and the other FIRST-NIGHTERS. Dry ice concealed beneath the target area gives the illusion of steam The 'FIRST-NIGHTERS' panic and rush off, leaving HARRY & RHONDA, soaked and stunned ENSEMBLE: We sho can dance 'n sing!
