The stage setup had pianist Javier Pacheco taking directions from the truck. When a speaker went "too long" the pianist would sound a few notes to alert the artist to cut short the work. As Acosta takes the stage he starts with an irate demand to "turn the fucking cameras off!" Zeta had noticed the production trailers outside Town & Gown had the logo of Tom Reddin Productions. Acosta declared his intention to walk off the stage rather than do anything that would contribute to the income of the former chief of the LAPD. After the camera operators walked away, Acosta reads the autopsy chapter, 8, from Revolt of the Cockroach People. Buffalo V. Brown, Acosta's character, directs the "coroner to the stars" Tom Noguchi to slice up Robert Fernandez, a dead vato who had been killed by the sheriff in lockup. You can see and hear Zeta's reading on Google videos here.
