GK: Our show is brought to you by the Cafe Boeuf with Maurice the maitre'd your host.

(FRENCH GIBBERISH) The temperature rose into the fifties this week (GIBBERISH) and so it's only a matter of time (GIBBERISH) before we open our outdoor cafe (GIBBERISH) and sit in the shadows (GIBBERISH) in our black suits (GIBBERISH) and dark glasses (GIBBERISH) and practice the fine art of (GIBBERISH) presenting ourselves in public. (GIBBERISH) At the Cafe Boeuf, we offer (GIBBERISH) a three week course entitled (GIBBERISH) "Keep Cold" (ANGRY GIBBERISH) "Be Cool" (GIBBERISH) the art of drinking coffee (GIBBERISH) with an expression of exquisite boredom (GIBBERISH) and a look of "What possibly could life have to offer me? (GIBBERISH) Realist that I am (GIBBERISH) while looking far away (GIBBERISH) at a window in which everyone is reflected (GIBBERISH) so you can see who is looking at you and who is not. (GIBBERISH) It's the art of being French. (GIBBERISH) The art of being complex. (GIBBERISH) A lifelong pursuit (CAFE BOEUF) at the Cafe Boeuf.
