         '"You're not what I thought you'd look like," says Sachs, a muscular man with an intense smile.

         'Frank steps back. "What did you expect?"

         '"Someone taller, with sunken eyes, and 10 years younger."

         'Frank lowers his gaze; he's 48. The age nerve seems to be a touchy one.

         'Because Sachs does a convincing East Indian accent, Frank asks him to sing "What the World Needs Now" in the accent.

         'Sachs happily agrees.

         'Frank says: "I want you to talk some of this. We don't need another Caruso." He leaves Sachs in the performance studio and moves to the control booth.

         'From the booth he can see into three other studios. In one of them, KCRW's assistant musical director, Ariana Morgenstern, a young woman with a helmet of short dark hair, a Romanesque profile and graceful, pale arms, is

eating green grapes. For the past year and a half, she and Frank have been steady companions. But today, at work, they give no indication that they're aware of each other.

         'Frank cues up the syrupy music. "Don't be nervous," he calls to Sachs. "This is radio. You cannot fail because we can always tape it again."

         'Five takes later, Frank sits on the floor facing the monitor, head cocked like the RCA dog. "It's not working," he says. He lies flat on the carpet, lacing his fingers and resting them on the top of his head. He closes his

mountain." Frank sits up. "This is good." He laughs and calls a lunch break. Sachs and Frank return to the big table in the performance studio bearing take-out boxes of marinated vegetables, tofu and tuna. Sachs sits down; Frank

purposefully walks to the opposite end of the table, clears it, and takes a seat 12 feet away.'</blockquote>

<div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.6;">Legacy Synopsis</div>

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

An ex leaves a long answering machine message combining angry accusations with a desperate party invitation.  Joe addresses cheering crowds.  Discordant monologue against cello music: Joe's father is a famous physician who sues patients who die under his care.  Joe hunts his father's killer.  A church in honor of evolution.  Honking at an apartment building. A hunchback in a hotel.  Newspaper stories: anatomists being killed, recording the voices of the dead. Driving in the country. Forbidden math. Police raids disguised as paramedics.  Meeting a ghost in a cemetery while dressed as a nun wearing an alarm clock.  A rich man thought dead awakens, loses his memory and joins a religious sect.  Joe is a king whose power is linked to the phases of the moon.  Joe addresses a crowd: "I'm not a liar and I'm not a jerk." A roman army attacks the sea.  A factory, owner who only discusses aesthetics.  Scenes from the bible portrayed by actors dressed as concentration camp victims.  Our reason for existence is to nurse parasites.  "What the world needs now," sung in an exaggerated Indian accent.  An actor survives dramatic events on the way to a play which he knows nothing about.  A human being is a pile of secrets.  Going to a concert and finding that your ticket is just an advertisement.  A Dutchman who sees people's skeletons.  All the things my right hand does for me.  The earth was created all at once.  Discovering the ruins of Los Angeles.  Discovering the meaning of existence and forgetting it.  Yelling at drivers with road noise in the background.

The original broadcast credits state: "With [[Laura Esterman]], [[Harvey Sachs]], and Joe Frank. Recorded by Jack Cheeseborough and mixed by Tom Strother."

The voicemail message was later put together to make up much

of the last half of 'Clement at Christmas'; some of it also appears in

'Waiting for the Bell'.
