A SONG:

BECAUSE WHEN WE TOUR,

WHICH WE WILL,

OUR BABY'S GONNA BE NAMED...

"HEALAPALOOZA."

HEALAPALOOZA, EH?

HEALA-F***IN'.

OUR BABY.

OUR F***IN' BABY.

I AM BRINGING ABOU THE DIPHTHONGS EXPERIENCE

TO THE PEOPLE.

LET'S GET SOMETHING STRAIGHT,

NINA, LOVE, ALL RIGHT?

I WANTED DEAN IN THE BAND

FROM THE BEGINNING

BECAUSE OF HIS SCRATCHING.

THIS MAN IS AN ARTIST.

NOT SOME SIDESHOW FREAK.

HE'S NOT GONNA SELL HIMSELF OU TO A LITTLE MAGIC HANDS TRICK.

THE BAND IS THE MUSIC.

WE WILL OVERRIDE THE SHOW

INTO SOME DISPLAY

AND BE RESPECTED.

BUT, D, DUDE, YOU MAY END UP

A PATHETIC JOKE.

ARE YOU COOL WITH THAT, MAN?

F*** IT.

LONG AS I'M GETTING PAID.

DO Y'ALL HEAR THAT?

ARE WE CLEAR, NINA?

- YEAH.

- GOOD.

I'VE GOT PHONE CALLS TO MAKE.

YOU THINK I'M A SELL-OU SIDESHOW FREAK?

WHAT DO YOU CARE?

AS LONG AS YOU'RE GETTING PAID,

RIGHT?

OH, F*** IT, ARIEL.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

GO BACK TO LIVING

IN MY F***IN' CAR?

THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S GOOD.

YOU'RE OWED. YOU'RE OWED.

YOU'RE OWED, RIGHT?

YEAH, EVERYBODY OWES YOU.

- YOU'RE SO FULL OF SH*T!

I'M ABOUT TO PU YOUR CRAP ASS BAND

ON THE F***ING MAP!

I'M GONNA GIVE EVERYTHING

YOU WANTED!

WHAT'S ALL THIS PURITY

COMING FROM YOU?

YEAH, MYBAND! MYBAND!

MY F***IN' BAND, YOU MOTHERF***ER!

YOU F***IN' PIECE OF SH*T!

YOU HAVE GOD'S GIFT!

YOU HAVE GOD'S GIFT!

DO YOU EVEN CARE

ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE, DEAN?

DO YOU EVEN CARE WHAT HAPPENS

TO THEM?

WHO THE F*** ARE YOU?

I KNOW MY PLACE IN THE WORLD.

WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU?

PIECE OF SH*T.

- I'M SO GLAD YOU DECIDED

TO LEGALLY JOIN THE FOLD.

I CAN NEVER FIRE YOU EVER.

DEAN, LOOK, THERE WERE 17 SICK

OR INFIRM PEOPLE

IN THE AUDIENCE THE OTHER NIGHT.

TWELVE OF THEM SAID

THEY WERE HEALED.

NOW IF THAT'S AN INDICATOR,

THEN YOU'RE MISSING 28%

OF THE TIME,

WHICH IS A MARKETING NIGHTMARE.

AND THAT MEANS:

THAT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT,

WHICH YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE

TO KNOW ABOUT.

BUT I'M THE ONE WHO'S TAKING

THE RISK.

I NEED SECURITY.

YOU'LL SEE.

IT'S A PRETTY STANDARD CONTRACT.

SEVEN-YEAR NEGOTIATION CLAUSE

ON MY END,

PLUS A FEW EXTRAAMENITIES,

BECAUSE I'M SO HANDS-ON.

AND WE CAN TALK:

ABOUT SWEETENING YOUR END.

HOW DO YOU FEEL:

ABOUT A SIGNING BONUS, HMM?

GOOD. YOU READY?

IT'S CALLED "HEALAPALOOZA."

DOWNTOWN, THERE'S A BUZZ GOING ON.

A NEW BAND CLAIMS TO HEAL PEOPLE

DURING THEIR SHOW,

ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY HEAL THEM.

FANS ARE SWEARING UP AND DOWN

THEY'VE RECEIVED HEALINGS

FROM THE TOUCH OF THE BAND'S DJ,

DELICIOUS DEAN.

THE CONTROVERSIAL HEALAPALOOZA TOUR

IS GAINING MOMENTUM

OF TRUE BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS.

ARTY PUNK-ROCK BAND,

BURNT THE DIPHTHONGS,

DENIED ACCUSATIONS

THAT THEIR ONSTAGE MIRACLES

ARE NOTHING MORE

THAN A PUBLICITY STUNT.

IN FACT, THEY CLAIMED THE SHOW

IS REALLY ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC.

HE TOUCHED ME IN DIFFERENT PLACES,

BUT THEN HE FOCUSED HIS ENERGY

WHERE I TOLD HIM I HAD MY TUMOR.

I WOULDN'T SLEEP WITH HIM

THE WHOLE TIME.

THE BIZARRE SCRATCH ROCK

HEALING PUNK SHOW

HAS SPARKED A RIO AND EVEN A RELIGIOUS PROTEST.

BUT IT'S ALSO BEING CALLED

"NEW CHURCH"

BY ITS SURPRISINGLY DIVERSE FANS.
