Blue in the Face Page #10

Synopsis: Wayne Wang's follow-up movie to Smoke presents a series of improvisational situations strung together to form a pastiche of Brooklyn's diverse ethnicity, offbeat humor, and essential humanity. Many of the same characters inhabiting Auggie Wren's Brooklyn Cigar Store in Smoke return here to expound on their philosophy of smoking, relationships, baseball, New York, and Belgian Waffles. Most of all, this is a movie about living life, off-the-cuff.
Genre: Comedy

So the next time

you're in Brooklyn

Please say hello for me

At Totonno's for pizza and ice cream

and at Al and Shirley's

But mostly you go

to Becky's

Sit in the booth and you say hello,

and have two chocolate egg creams

One to stay and one to go

You scream, I steam

We all want egg cream

Ah, you scream, I steam

We all want egg cream

Yes, directly

from the planet of Brooklyn

We have Bush Babees

in the house

In your area

Yes

Oh, one time for your mom

Yes

Brooklyn's in the place

Yes

Go take it to your face
