With feigned difficulty he holds up eight fingers. He goes to the can and removes three pocket billiard "eight" balls and displays them to the audience. He juggles three, and one is bounced off the head with exaggerated reactions. Balls are returned to the can. BJ looks into the can and comes out with a banana.

Orchestra plays "Yes, We Have No Bananas.

With admiration and lip-licking anticipation, the banana skin is zipped open, a bite is taken and the skin is zipped back up. The banana is placed in the can as BJ chews with exaggerated motion and gulps. He searches through his pockets, finally coming out of inside his coat pocket with a full glass of water. He drinks part of the water and then indicates that it tastes bad. He offers it to the audience. Shrugs, makes a move as though throwing the water at the audience, but the glass is manipulated so that no water is spilled.

The water is casually poured into his coat breast pocket, whereupon a large sunflower appears. The glass is tossed about six feet into the rubbish can. BJ bends, closes his eyes and places his hand over his ears. Silence. No crash. BJ looks up with satisfaction when, eight seconds after the glass lands in the can there is a loud extended crash, with obvious reaction from BJ.

BJ goes to the can and looks in, coming out with a saucer, a cup, a tea bag and finally a tea pot.

Orchestra plays "Tea For Two."

BJ juggles four objects with cup ending on the saucer, tea bag in cup in right hand, teapot caught by the handle in the left hand and, with grand gesture, BJ pours himself a cup of tea. Objects tossed casually into the rubbish can. BJ looks into the can again. Out comes the banana.

Orchestra again plays "Yes, We Have No Bananas." BJ takes one more bite and the banana is zipped up again and returned to the can.

Orchestra plays "Every Little Movement Has A Meaning Of Its Own." BJ starts taking out plates, placing four on the bench, one at a time, then retains what appears to be five.

Orchestra plays "Pop Goes The Weasel." BJ moves down stage with the plates curled into his right arm, and does a few soft-shoe dance steps to music. But when the "Pop" part of the song comes up the plates are "rolled" out of his arm and turn out to be a large yo-yo. Plates go up and down three times to repeat of the music, and the yo-yo is returned to the can.

Orchestra returns to "Every Little Movement..." BJ goes into a number of single plate moves and slides, into three plate slides, then into three plate juggling routine, including "flip" juggling, and ends catching one plate behind the back. Bow and into a four plate routine. In overexuberant acceptance of applause, he throws the plates into the air and they land noisily behind the bench.

Orchestra plays "Bananas." BJ goes to the can once more and removes the banana. He zips the skin open and goes to take a bite, but there is no banana. He looks disgusted and dismayed, and goes from side to side of the stage showing the audience his problem. He pauses, then gets an enlightened look. He waves his hand over the empty skin and to a proper slide whistle sound, a banana grows out of the skin. BJ takes a large bite, gets a huge smile of satisfaction and, while chewing, returns the banana to the can.

Orchestra plays "Slow Boat To China." BJ searches in the can and comes out with one club. He examines it and does a few swinging moves with the club, which seems to slap him in the face. He gets a second club and does a couple of swinging moves. He gets a third and juggles a bit. He stops, places the clubs on the bench and pantomimes that he is about to roll up his sleeves.

Orchestra plays "A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody." BJ goes into a "stripper" strut as he carefully and teasingly removes his coat, revealing that his shirt is lacking sleeves, but has cuffs. The coat is carefully folded, and then tossed behind the can. The cuffs are carefully removed to the music, rolled together and stuffed into one of the patches in his pants.

Orchestra returns to "Slow Boat. . . " BJ goes into an extensive routine, but with the pace getting slower and slower as the music slows. Finally he yawns and ends juggling sitting on the bench with the club bottoms hitting the floor in time to the music. An alarm clock rings and BJ speeds up and resumes the routine, catching one club behind his back, and swings it back up over his shoulder as he walks off stage.

He acknowledges the applause and returns to center stage and holds up four fingers. He gets a fourth club out of the can and does a short four club routine. He holds up five fingers and goes to the can for a fifth club. With four in the left hand he advances front with the fifth club held high as the orchestra goes into a pyramid crescendo. The last chord goes sour as the fifth club shatters, showering confetti everywhere. 'The clubs are returned to the can.

The orchestra plays "Candy." BJ discovers a large cylinder painted to represent a peppermint stick candy. He acts elated and licks the candy, then offers it to the audience, and reacts to their rejection. He spots someone who might accept, but drops the candy on his foot. With exaggerated pain he sits on the bench to nurse his injured foot. His left hand is on the bench back while the right hand rubs his foot. When he tries to retrieve the candy, part of the bench back comes off in his hand. The board is stuck to his hand and he struggles with it. It finally comes off with a suddenness that almost staggers him. He goes over to the cylinder on the floor and places a board on it. He looks at it as if it's a great idea, backs up, runs and glides to the left and right before attaining balance on the board.

Orchestra goes into "Hootchy Kootchy." BJ exaggerates his hip moves like a belly dancer. He takes a large red bandanna from the patch on his knee and holds it in front in false modesty. He jumps off and passes his hand over the bandanna, changing it to blue, and replaces it in his pocket.

Orchestra plays "Volga Boatman." BJ places the roller and board on the bench, goes into the can and comes out with giant clubs. Each hits the floor with a loud thud. With these three clubs he seems to be pulled back and forth across the stage by sheer weight of the swing of the clubs. He climbs laboriously onto the bench, then on to balance on the teeter board.

Orchestra follows moves with drum rolls, then plays "Anchors Aweigh." BJ juggles large clubs while on the teeter board as lights dim and clubs, edge of bench, teeter board and roller become luminous via black light. He juggles for 32 bars of music, then lights come up for a finish and run to the front for a bow.

Orchestra continues music for "Tag." BJ acknowledges applause, leaves and returns as indicated by the music. Music softens and

BJ goes to the can to retrieve a small bicycle.

Music swells, BJ gets on the bike and rides off stage left. Music continues as long as the audience indicates curtain calls.
