MAYOR

Hertz? Oh yes!! Send him in!

Before she can, HERTZ and FRANZ KLINEMANN

are in.

HERTZ

Heir Mayor! Zank you so much for meeting me!

MAYOR

The pleasure is mine, Mr. Klinemann.

HERTZ

(shakes; then) You know my son, Franz.

FRANZ

Zuch a pleasure to be here in your lovely—

HERTZ

Enough! You’re boring him!

FRANZ

Sei beitte nicht wutend auf mich. (Please don’t be mad at me.)

¨

HERTZ

Folgen zie meinen befelen! (Follow my orders!)

FRANZ

(sheepishly) Okay.

FRANZ wilts.

HERTZ

Heir Mayor, let’s cut to the chase, shall we? I have a proposal. But first, may I be frank

vis you?

MAYOR

(really excited) Please!

HERTZ

Ze fact is, Heir Mayor, ze “sex, drugs, unt rock n’ roll” element here is destroying your

city.

MAYOR

Well, I don’t know about destroying--

10/27/2011 14

Suddenly, DENNIS and LONNY run by, LONNY

with his pants around his ankles, and DENNIS

chasing with cans of whip cream.

LONNY

I’m totally running in the streets with my pants down!

DENNIS

This is sooo rock n’ roll!

LONNY

And I’m high too!

DENNIS

Suck it, LA!!

With that, they are gone.

MAYOR

White people.

REGINA

Personally, I love rock. I once followed The Dead for seven months... until I realized I

was violently allergic to patchouli oil and overwrought and meandering guitar solos.

HERTZ

(beat) Unt you are?

MAYOR

This is my new city planner down from Berkley, Ms. Regina Koontz.

REGINA

It’s pronounced ReGYna.

FRANZ

(moved) Zat vas my mother’s name.

HERTZ

Heir Mayor, Regina... vat Klinehaus Inc. is requesting is nussing more zan ze privilege of

bringing your city into ze next century. A European model of clean, pure, efficient

living. BEHOLD!

FRANZ unveils a model of a new Strip.

FRANZ

Ta-daaa!.

10/27/2011 15

MAYOR

Wow.

FRANZ

Zank you. I made it.

REGINA

(looking at the MODEL) That’s the entire Strip from Doheny to La Cienega?

HERTZ

It is. Unt doesn’t it deserve better? Don’t you both deserve better?

HERTZ opens his briefcase filled with money.

MAYOR

Hertz, may I say I’m intrigued by your idea.

REGINA

Wait! These guys come in... arbitrarily condemn our “rock n’ roll element” and now

you’re considering handing them the entire Sunset Strip?!

MAYOR

(sheepish) I only said I was intrigued.

REGINA

Mayor!

MAYOR

Plus, did you see this really cool model he made? There’s a…

REGINA

This is OUR city... OUR history! And as for “rock?”

Suddenly, we hear VOICES OFFSTAGE.

#3 “WE BUILT THIS CITY/TOO MUCH TIME”

ENSEMBLE OFF-STAGE

WE BUILT THIS CITY

MAYOR

What the hell was that?

REGINA

The cry of your Strip, sir!

10/27/2011 98

REGINA

Alright, LA!! This is my final stand!! This is for those of you who care about this city!

For those of you who don’t have a voice… And for those who have absolutely no

interest in setting themselves on fire!

She pours gas on her robe. Then, before she strikes

the match…

HERTZ

Fraulein Regina?

REGINA

Wh... (startled) Mr. Klinemann?! What are you doing here?

HERTZ

(wiping his tears) Vat are YOU doing?

REGINA

Taking a stand! Not that you know anything about that!

HERTZ

You know you turned my son against me.

REGINA

You sure that was me?

HERTZ

(sad) You’re right. I have no son.

HERTZ begins to cry.

REGINA

I’m not falling for that crap, Facist.

HERTZ cries harder. Finally...

REGINA (cont’d)

Jesus. Listen, you do have a son, okay? And he loves you. He just has a dream. Like all

those people out there! If you could only see how happy it makes him, you wouldn’t...

HERTZ

He doesn’t understand! I did it all for him. For his future.

REGINA

But he doesn’t want it! Christ, I know you must’ve had a dream nobody understood.

10/27/2011 99

HERTZ

No!

REGINA goes to strike a match.

HERTZ (cont’d)

Wait! (pause) Vell, vhen I vas a boy I vanted to make formal wear for pets!

REGINA

You… Really?

HERTZ

Unt my fazer zought I vas a fool! Maybe I vas.

REGINA

Or maybe you weren’t.

HERTZ

Were you really going to set yourself on fire?

REGINA

I believe in my cause.

HERTZ

But vat vill zat accomplish? It’s crazy!

REGINA

Is it? (lights a match)

HERTZ

Yes.

REGINA

Is it?

The rest of the CAST appears.

COMPANY

Yes!!

The rest of the CAST disappears. HERTZ blows out

the match.

REGINA

Fine!

REGINA begins to exit, then returns.

10/27/2011 100

REGINA (cont’d)

It’s still not too late to make it right, Mr. Klinemann.

REGINA leaves, HERTZ quietly sings...

HERTZ

AND I’M GONNA KEEP ON LOVIN’ YOU

CUZ IT’S THE ONLY THING I WANNA DO...

I DON’T WANNA SLEEP

I JUST WANT TO KEEP ON...

With a resolved sigh, HERTZ takes out his phone

and dials...

HERTZ (con’t)

Hello, Mr. Dupree please.

REGINA

Well would you look at that! What a fantastic open pit barbeque! (then; flame sound.

HERTZ runs off.) Oh Crap! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

PROJECTIONS show Regina running on fire across

the strip. Just then we hear a SPLASH sound cue.

REGINA (cont’d)

I’m okay!

Scene 27 EXT. Sunset Strip. Night.

DREW is running frantically.

#19 “OH SHERRIE”

DREW (a capella)

I SHOULD’VE BEEN GONE!

KNOWING HOW I MADE YOU FEEL

AND YOU SHOULD’VE BEEN GONE

AFTER ALL MY WORDS OF STEEL

Music begins.

DREW (cont’d)

OH I MUST HAVE BEEN A DREAMER

ENSEMBLE

MUST HAVE BEEN A DREAMER, OH
