He thought he could get out on bail easily-"Goddamit," roared Lewin through the cell door, "don't let me sleep here tonight"-but Lukban saw to it that Lewin spent the night in his cell. Next morning, as the fur began to fly. Garcia's Secretary of Justice Alejo Mabanag announced that NBI Chief Lukban would be fired "for the good of the service," and Lewin, free on bail, sped away...
...peak-in one of the most nerve-shattering scenes ever acted on Broadway.

...home movies, the characters on the screen mouth lost words. On the sound track Kerouac talks on, speaking for them. Visitors knock.

They drink beer and wine, smoke marijuana, look out the window, where "90-year-old men are being run over by gasoline trucks." The audience now knows that Pull My Daisy is not just another she-bugs-me, she-bugs-me-not story...
