HAROLD chuckles and joins FAYARD near the stage entrance.

                        FAYARD
       Let's turn it out today!
 
                        HAROLD
       We're gonna razzle dazzle 'em!

A TALL MAN with a slick pompadour, wearing a stylishly tailored black tuxedo, strides majestically up to THE NICHOLAS BROTHERS.  He speaks in a deep baritone voice forged in the bowels of Mother Earth.  Hence the reason people call him, quite simply, “VOICE.”

                         VOICE
       There they are…the two Stars of our 
       lavish extravaganza.
 
                        HAROLD
       Hey, Voice, wha'cha know! 
 
                        FAYARD
       How's life treating you, Voice?
 
                         VOICE
       It's your world, Brothers Nicholas,
       I'm just glad to occupy some space 
       in it.  Look at you two! Ya'll look 
       like a million dollars.  Dap Sugar 
       Willie and twin!
