Biography
S5E4 - Susie vacillates between awe and bewilderment as she watches the inaugural performance of Private Waste Management: A Musical Journey in Three Acts. In the second act, an Old Man emerges and expresses disdain for Private Waste Management when he sees the price tag for their services, declaring that he doesn't need them. The Old Man later returns, cradling the dead body of a little boy. He says that his son was killed by garbage, and it's all his fault for sending Private Waste Management away. Midge agrees with him, and delivers the final batch of exposition before the final number, in which the entire cast (including the Old Man) emerge and sing a bittersweet farewell, then take their final bow.
S5E4 - The ensemble cast of Private Waste Management: A Musical Journey in Three Acts do their best to do the second and final performance of the show exactly the same as the first, despite the fact that Midge is grumpy and deliberately trying to ruin it.
Quotes & Dialogue
MIDGE: Hello, old-timer. What you got there?
OLD MAN: I just got my bill here.
MIDGE: A bill for what?
OLD MAN: I ran into some old paint, rat poison, liquid chemicals, DDT and a broken bookshelf, and I wanted someone to take it all away. Then I got this estimate, ten dollars. Just to pick some trash up and take it far away from me? Are they kidding?
MIDGE: Ten dollars isn't much.
OLD MAN: It's ridiculous. I won't pay it. I'll just put it out with my city trash.
MIDGE: The city won't take that, old-timer.
OLD MAN: Well, then I'll just take it down to the church preschool parking lot on the corner and burn it, problem solved.
MIDGE: You sure you want to do that?
OLD MAN: I certainly do. As far as I'm concerned, I wish I'd never heard of private demolition and waste management.
– S5E4
OLD MAN: (screams) He's dead! My boy is dead!
MIDGE: Oh, no, that looks like something the demolition of a giant building might've caused.
OLD MAN: It did. I thought the city would've hauled away all the dangerous demolition waste.
MIDGE: The city doesn't haul that away, old-timer.
OLD MAN: (sobs) I know.
MIDGE: I tried to warn you.
OLD MAN: You did.
MIDGE: You need private demolition and waste management to do that, but you didn't want to pay for it.
OLD MAN: I didn't want to pay for it, and now my boy is gone!
