George sits - and gives the stage his undivided attention.

Up there is a wiseass comic.

Up there is a wiseass comic.

“Thank you, good night”

The comic waves and exits.

George politely claps.

We think there’s a break. .

When Andy Suddenly, awkwardly steps on stage.

He is in character as Foreign Man.

Pink jacket, tie, hair slicked back,

Frightened like a deer in headlights.

He puts down his big case,

Pulls out various junk, and arranges it on chairs.

“Tank you veddy much, I am very happy to be here. . . ”

Silence. The crowd is baffled.

". . . But - talking about the terrible things: My wife. Take my wife, please take her. ”

Yikes. A few nervous laughs.

Andy gestures, as if they got the joke.

“. . . I would like to do for you some imitations. ”

Pleased, he proudly bows.

Some people BOO and walk out.

A few giggle, getting into the groove.

“And now. . . I would like to imitate the Elvis Presley. ”

Andy grins stupidly, then turns his back to us.

He removes his pink coat putting on a white jeweled jacket.

Finally he picks up a guitar, strikes a pose,

And spins around.

He is Elvis. Confident. Sexy. Lip Curl. Dead-On Perfect.

WOW. Flabbergasted, people applaud. This man is Elvis.

George is astonished. He cannot quite figure out what’s going on. . .

He waves Budd over.

Budd leans down, and George whispers.

“Pst. What’s the story with this guy? ”

“I think he’s Lithuanian. None of us can understand him”

He does a hell of an Elvis.

“Thank you very much. ”
