career? work? how very interesting. How the Fortune's of Wheel ...er ...
Turn.
High times for the stiffs in the woods but not for the mill workers.
So Hobbs, who gave some thought to a career in Brecht gets a gig as a
kind of pretty walk-on of sorts, that is, a logo, and ends up majority
owner of a lawn care business and employing recently unemployed tree
men and paying them and Zoyd in cash off the books (talk about cheating
the system) to cut down tress and grass while the pretty walk-on wife
who may have been happier in Hollywood (new your is where I'd rather
stay ... green acres is the place for me .... ) runs the books. Well,
who knows what kind of a career she might have had in Hollywood.
Although marrying a guy who is into Brecht might not have been the
best career move. Hey, that sounds familiar. Like, Frenesi's family
history. And Zoyd too. Well, we can't blame Zoyd for the kind of work
Frenesi got into. can we? love is strange. I guess P could have put Pat
Sajak in drag and had him play Nixon's wife. All he'd need is a dress.
