Bruce:
Bruce
Bissell
...
Bruce:
Bruce
Bissell…
FZ:
What?
FZ:
Quoi ?
Bruce:
From
Reprise
Records.
Bruce:
De
Reprise
Records.
FZ:
Hi,
there,
how
you
doing?
FZ:
Salut,
comment
vas-tu ?
Bruce:
How
you
doing?
Nice
to
see
you

Bruce:
Comment
vas-tu ?
Ravi
de
te

FZ:
Yeah.
FZ:
Oui.
Bruce:
How's
it
going?
Bruce:
Comment
ça
va ?
FZ:
Well,
it's
all
right.
FZ:
Eh
bien,
ça
va.
Bruce:
Good.
Hey,
we
got
a
neat
publicity
stunt
we'd
like
to
try.
Bruce:
Bien.
Écoute,
on
a
une
bonne
idée
de
publicité
qu'on
aimerait
essayer.
FZ:
What's
the
stunt?
FZ:
Quelle
est
l'idée ?
Bruce:
We
got
a
garbage
truck.
We'd
like
to
get
some
pictures
Bruce:
On
a
un
camion
à
ordures.
On
aimerait
prendre
des
photos
Of
you
and
the
Mothers
on
it.
De
toi
et
des
Mothers
dessus.
FZ:
That's
probably
one
of
the
most
terrible
ideas
I
ever
heard
in
my
life!
FZ:
C'est
probablement
l'une
des
pires
idées
que
j'aie
jamais
entendues
de
ma
vie !
Are
we
going
down
there?
On
y
va ?
Bruce:
Yeah!
Bruce:
Oui !
Mark:
You'd
love
it,
you
know
that?
Mark:
Tu
aimerais
ça,
tu
sais ?
Bruce:
And,
uh,
we
got
that
newspaper
here
to
cover
it
and,
Bruce:
Et,
euh,
on
a
ce
journal
ici
pour
couvrir
ça
et,
Uh,
plus,
the
front
of
the
chart
and
stuff.
Euh,
en
plus,
la
première
page
du
classement
et
tout
ça.
FZ:
The
front
of
the
chart
...
FZ:
La
première
page
du
classement…
Bruce:
Yes,
the,
uh,
FM
chart
that's
put
out
here
in
Vancouver,
Bruce:
Oui,
euh,
le
classement
FM
qui
est
diffusé
ici
à
Vancouver,
Has
a
distribution
of
about
fifty
thousand.
A
une
diffusion
d'environ
cinquante
mille
exemplaires.
Ian?:
What's
happening?
Ian ?:
Qu'est-ce
qui
se
passe ?
FZ:
What
do
you
think,
Dick?
FZ:
Qu'est-ce
que
tu
en
penses,
Dick ?
Dick:
What?
A
photo
at
the
garbage
truck?
Dick:
Quoi ?
Une
photo
avec
le
camion
à
ordures ?
Bruce:
I
think
it's
really
gonna
be
a
great
idea.
I
really
do.
Bruce:
Je
pense
que
c'est
vraiment
une
super
idée.
Je
le
pense
vraiment.
I
think
we
can
do
it
on
the
other
side
and
then,
uh
...
Je
pense
qu'on
peut
le
faire
de
l'autre
côté
et
puis,
euh…
"But
it
won't
be
lonely
for
long
..."
"Mais
ça
ne
sera
pas
solitaire
longtemps…"
What's
the
deal?
C'est
quoi
le
deal ?
Howard:
Must
we
stand
amidst
the
scum
to
get
the
idea
across?
Howard:
On
doit
se
tenir
au
milieu
de
la
crasse
pour
faire
passer
le
message ?
Jeff:
"Where
are
you
on
this
ah
long
hot
summer
Jeff:
"Où
es-tu
dans
ce
long
été
chaud
Where
are
you
on
this
ah
..."
Où
es-tu
dans
ce
ah…
"
Mark:
Are
we
going
in
it?
Mark:
On
va
y
monter ?
Do
you
think
you
could
possibly
like
climb
up
on
the
tire
and
put
a
foot
there?
Tu
penses
que
tu
pourrais
peut-être
monter
sur
le
pneu
et
mettre
un
pied
là ?
[...]
as
much
as
you
can
[...]
autant
que
tu
peux
Yeah,
there's
a
ladder.
Yeah.
Ouais,
il
y
a
une
échelle.
Ouais.
