Jeff Quits – Frank Zappa

[Jeff:] This is what I joined for. This I don’t think is pretty good.
[FZ:] In other words, you don’t wanna be in the movie
[Jeff:] Yeah
[FZ:] You’re sure?
[Jeff:] Mm-mh
[FZ:] Is there anybody else that doesn’t want to be in the movie? . . . Is there anything specific that you don’t like about the script?
[Jeff:] No . . . in fact my part is the best part of the movie, I think . . .
[FZ:] You have the biggest part
[Jeff:] I didn’t know how far this could go
[FZ:] And why do you think it went so far?
[Jeff:] It was probably boiled in ammonia
[Mark:] I’m curious to know why -like I asked you this morning-, why puts you out so much to do it, man? Unless you’re just a little afraid that what you gotta say is too much what you’d say, anyway?
[Jeff:] It is what I’d say, it’s exactly, it’s there!
[Mark:] So you . . . why you’re afraid to say to the people out there what you’ve been saying to us for months?
[Jeff:] I’m not afraid to say it to the people out there, I’m just afraid to be in this band anymore
[Mark:] Why?
[FZ:] The lines that are in this film are based on things I heard people say for years, all the way back to the very beginning, you know? I don’t think anybody should have any objection to say any of those things, because you’re playing yourself
[Jeff:] Should I trim the scene?
[FZ:] Sure
