Afterpiece: (See Round 1) Annotated

[Intro: Journalist, Announcer]
We're standing here at the egde of the stage, where the great Cassius Clay of Louisville, Kentucky has just floored the literary world of New York City! I don't think they even saw that last poem coming. Just a moment, just a moment, here's the announcement...

Ladies and gentlemen! The winner and still world's heavyweight poet, Cassius Marcellus Clay! [applause]

I'm trying- I'm trying, ladies and gеntlemen, therе's a standing ovation, a standing ovation here for Cassius Clay. The audience is going mad for Cassius Clay; and I'm trying, ladies and gentlemen, to make my way to the crowd of literary greats, who are congratulating Clay. Excuse me, Tennessee? Excuse me, excuse me, Truman? Excuse me, Jaja? Wait a minute now, Cassius sees me and he's coming over! Congratulations, Mr. Clay, that was a truly magnificent performance!

[Interview: Muhammad Ali, Journalist & Choir]
Oh, it was nothing. Though they did seem to like my different rhymes.
Were you in trouble at any time?
Yes, I was having a bit of trouble with my iambic pentameter in the first few poems, but it cleared up, and from then on it was easy going.
Did you ever have the feeling, that you weren't going to make it all the way?
Au contraire! They were a tough audience, but I would gladly give them a return concert, any time they are ready!
Cassius, you don't even seem winded.
No, but I am a little dry.
Oh, would you like a cup of coffee?
Coffee? No- wait, I'd sooner Liston! [laughter]
Mr. Clay, do you have anything more you want to say to the American people?
Yes, I want American people to know that I am the greatest!
They know it!
Oh, that reminds me: using that Greek chorus in the background was a brilliant idea. They were wonderful!
(Oh, thank you very much... you're so nice)
(Why, honey, thank you so much)
All right and away, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I'm all for attractive myself, I did a little singing, a little dancing... oh, uh, excuse me, Mr. Clay?
It was a great pleasure working with them. They learned a great deal from me. I taught them everything I know.
We are the greatest! [laughter]
I see what you mean, yeah... Mr. Clay, do you have any more predictions to make?
Yes, I will make the greatest prediction I've ever made. I have predicted when fights will end. I have predicted when poems will end. I have even predicted when Sonny Liston will end.
Now I'll predict the exact number of copies this album will sell:
I predict this will be the best-selling ablum of all time!
It will outsell "My Fair Lady" and "The First Family Album" combined. This record will go eight, eight zillion!
But, uh... but Mr. Clay, no record has ever sold eight zillion.
That's because I've never recorded before! And I am the greatest!
[Applause]
