Israel Swan Quotes in Cannibal! The Musical (1993)

[interrupting the trappers' gruesome song about the joys of killing animals]

George Noon: Oh, stop!

James Humphrey: That's sick!

Frenchy Cabazon: I agree! Nutter was singing in the wrong key!

Preston Nutter: No I wasn't! It was Loutzenheiser! I was singing in E flat minor.

Frenchy Cabazon: The SONG'S in F sharp major!

Shannon Bell: I think they're the same thing. I mean, E flat is the relative major of F sharp.

Frenchy Cabazon: No it isn't! The relative minor is three half-tones DOWN from the major, not up!

George Noon: No, it's three down. Like A is the relative minor of C major.

O.D. Loutzenheiser: But isn't A sharp in C major?

Shannon Bell: Wait, are you singing mixolydian scales or something?

Frenchy Cabazon: A sharp is tonic to C major! It's the sixth!

James Humphrey: No it isn't!

Israel Swan: Well, it would be like a raised 13th if anything.

[singing]

Israel Swan: Sometimes, the world is black./And tears run from your eyes./Maybe we'll all get really sick./And maybe we'll all die... /Sooooooooooooo, let's build a snowman/We can make him our best friend./We can name him Tom or we can name him George!/We can make him tall, or we can make him not so tall./Snowman!/He'll have a happy face, a happy smile, a happy point of view./If you build me a snowman, then I'll build one for you./So, let's build a snowman!/We can make him our best friend./We can name him Bob or we can name him Beowulf!/We can make him tall, or we can make him not so tall./Snowman!/Hey!

[Tapdance solo]

Israel Swan: He'll have a happy face, a happy smile, a happy point of view./If you build me a snowman, then I'll build one for you./Snowman! Snowman! Snowman!

Israel Swan: If you don't find a nice girl in Colorado, just remember, there's plenty of mountain sheep.

George Noon: How big of mountain sheep?
