Tuesday morning, Jerry and the Scripture-Screamers toured the slum area of Tondo. "Hiya, fella," Falwell said, greeting a naked native in his spartan cardboard hut. He presented the man with a bullet-proof Bible and the Scripture-Screamers' recent album, "Welfare Queen." "If you pray hard, maybe you'll get a record player," he said...
Take for example the second scene of the play. Prum, you will recall, has just been blasted from his claustrophobic little living room; he next happens upon a cardboard reconstruction of Manhattan, skyscrapers, tiny airplanes and all.

Frustrated by the naked breast of a sunbathing woman who misreads his truly beachcombing intentions, confused in his reading of the heavens against a cardboard constellation chart, he shuns both celestial bodies and tanned ones, for the "certainty" in the refraction index of his own clumsy corrective lenses. Like a misplaced, compulsive Descartes, checking the stars to make sure nothing has changed, Mr. Palomar makes rules for himself: he must stick to what he sees...
