Turning toward the stage, the churning serpent finds a lion's voice: "Chicago, Chicago!" As 35,000 spectators pick up the chant, seven young men amble onstage to join the Beach Boys for a socko finale. They are the group known as Chicago.

When Sam finally addresses the opaque petition window, his ominous "petition for more space" becomes a simple request to increase his sleeping area by one foot in width and one foot in length to the maximum allowed by law. He complains, "I expend so much physical and psychic energy pushing against people and limits that I am always too tired to do quickly the things I need and want to do." The window replies.
