La Vie Glissant / The Sliding Life
"La Vie Bohème" ["Rent"]

Bartender
No please no
Not tonight please no
Mister - can't you go -
Not tonight - can't have a scene

Quinn
What?

Bartender
Go, please go;
You - Hello, sir -
I said, "No"
Important customer

Rembrandt
What am I - just a blur?

Bartender
You sit all night - you always slide!

Rembrandt
That's a lie - that's a lie
I missed the window the other day

Bartender
You found a new timer anyway

Quinn
Oh yeah

Colin
Kromaggs -- here?

Bartender
Oh no!

All
Rickman's near!

Maggie
The enemy of Earth AAA
We'll stay

Bartender
Oy vey!

Colin
What brings the mogul in his own mind to the Chandler hotel?

Kromagg
I would like to propose a toast
To Mallory's noble try
It went well

Maggie
Go to hell

Kromagg
Was the monkey scum stomped
Not counting the P.O.W.s
How many tickets weren't comped

Quinn
Why did the human --

Kromagg
breeder

Quinn
Miss the slide?

Kromagg
There was a death in the family
If you must know

Colin
Who died?

Kromagg
Our humagg

Maggie, Quinn, Rembrandt, Colin
That old bag

Kromagg
Maggie - I'm surprised
A bright and dangerous girl like you
Hangs out with these sliders
(Who don't adhere to deals)
They make fun - yet I'm the one
Attempting to do some good
Or do you really want a world
Where people mix up on your vortex every night?
Sliding, Sliding's
A fallacy in your head
This is Earth 113
Sliding is dead

Rembrandt
Dearly beloved we gather here to say our goodbyes

Colin & Quinn
x to the power of y
2dz over h when b=5 (etc)

Quinn
Here she lies
No one knew her worth
The late great daughter of a parallel earth
On this night when we celebrate the birth
In that little town of San Francisco
We raise our glass - you bet your timer to -
La Vie Glissant

All
La Vie Glissant
La Vie Glissant
La Vie Glissant
La Vie Glissant

Quinn
To days of inspiration
Playing physics, making something out of nothing
The need to express -
To communicate,
To going against science,
Utter defiance
Going mad

To sliding with stress and tension,
To more than one dimension,
To starving for attention,
Missing convention, missing pretension
Not to mention of course,
Missing dear old mom and dad

To riding your vortex,
Midday past the three piece suits
To spiderwasps - to planet hops -
To shops - to shoes -
To the STM news-
To any passing world

All
La Vie Glissant
La Vie Glissant

Maggie
Are the guns in the right places?

Rembrandt
They are, Maggie

Maggie
The timer doesn't have a case
Don't give me that face

Mr. Chandler
Ahhemm

Maggie
Hey Sir - he's my brother

Bartender
So that's five new timers, four dino repellents
Three living fires, two deadly games,
And one robot that wins a heart

A double
Huh

Colin
It works the same

Maggie
If you close your eyes

Bartender
And thirteen parallel worlds
Is that it here?

All
Rickman's near!

Maggie & Colin
To hand-crafted timers made in local fans' homes
To Schrödinger, to Henry, to clothes but never combs
To Arturo, to Wade, to the Mallorys
To weird earths, or ones the same; does sliding burn calories?

Emotion, devotion, to stopping a commotion
Creation, vacation

Quinn
Mucho Magg invasions

Maggie & Colin
Compassion, to fashion, to passion when it's new

Rembrandt
To songs

Bennish
To bongs

Four sliders
To anything that goes wrong

Colin & Quinn
Lenin, Dylan, Washington and Abe

Colin
Carl Sagan

Quinn
Ronald Reagan

Maggie
To the service

Double #1
To Logan

Double #2
To Bennish

Double #3
Topless Quinn, I wish

Rembrandt and Maggie
Why Arturo and Wade came along for the trip
Cause Quinn kissed Wade's lips :-)

All
La Vie Glissant

Maggie
And wipe the tears before you slide

Rembrandt
Yes, Maggie

Maggie
Well - hurry back

Mr. Chandler
Brothers?

Maggie
We're close

All
Brothers!

Kromaggs, Humaggs, homo sapiens,
Dinosaurs, tidal waves, no men, and the King
English wine, Quinn is fine, Quotable final lines
Pavarotti, Lipschitz Party, sliders on their quest
Don't forget to mention Electric Twister Acid Test

All
To 80 eps, to Season 6, to movies, and to toys
To Sci-Fi channel Monday nights, to rising to new heights
To no shame - never playing the Fame Game

Colin
To horse drawn wagons!

All
To telepathy,
It's between you and me
To R & B

Kromagg
Waiter...Waiter...Waiter

All
La Vie Glissant

Colin
In honor of the death of sliding an impromptu salon will
commence immediately following dinner... Maggie Beckett,
clad only in armor gear, will perform her famous lawn
chair handcuff dance to the sounds of timers being started.

Quinn
Rembrandt Brown will preview his new song about his
stay in a maggot camp where he was tortured.

Rickman
Your new boyfriend doesn't know about us?

Maggie
There's nothing to know

Rickman
Don't you think that we should discuss --

Maggie
Angus, it was months ago!

Rickman
He doesn't act like he's with you

Maggie
We're taking it slow

Rickman
Where is he now?

Maggie
He's right -- hmm

Rickman
Uh huh

Maggie
Where'd he go?

Quinn
Colin will attempt to understand a simple, technological appliance.
(Colin picks up a blender and starts to blend)
That doesn't remind us of "Tears in my Fro"

Rembrandt
Maggie Beckett will now model the latest fall fashions
from the last earth while I get more money from the ATM.

Maggie
And Quinn will recount his slides before he met us -
including the successful reprogramming in virtual slide,
causing virtual reality equipment to self-destruct, as it
broadcasts the worst possible nightmares.

All
"Actual reality - Act Up - Get low"

Kromagg
Check!!

Maggie
Excuse me - did I do something wrong?
I get invited - then ignored - all slide long

Quinn
I've been trying - I'm not lying
No one's perfect. I've got the science

Maggie
Life's too short, babe, time is flying
I'm looking for science that goes with mine

Quinn
I should tell you --

Maggie
I've got a timer too

Quinn
I should tell you --

Both
The timer's fine!--

Others
Peck is near!

Maggie
Commercial break.......
