Any tone can succeed any other tone, any tone can sound simultaneously with any other tone or tones, and any group of tones can be followed by any other group of tones, just as any degree of tension or nuance can occur in any medium under any kind of stress or duration. Successful projection will depend upon the contextual and formal conditions that prevail, and upon the skill and soul of the composer.
- Vincent Persichetti, Twentieth Century Harmony (1961)

F X: You know who I miss?

Boy: C'mon, he's my ex-boyfriend, not yours. You never even met him.

F X: I know, but you even talked about him on our first date. I feel like I know him and miss 'im.

Boy: We always woke up tangled in sheets and boxers.

GWM: A Latin lover.

Boy: A vain political manifesto complete with gray hair.

F X: You're entitled to naivete.

Boy: That was the end of it.

(F X, GWMs, and Narrator applaud)

Boy: Here's proof.
 

 
F X: You're so fuckin' vulgar.

Boy: The culture is vulgar. The culgar is vulture. Now listenit's such a relief with bottoms, because, y'know. (F X shrugs, exasperated look)
