Harry stands next to Billy Penn
Chapter 20
One of the most dramatic sequences in the filmed record of Harry got taken in the very first session with the camera crew,
2Because they celebrated their lucrative new assignment pretty freely in Harry’s hotel suite,
3And then started brainstorming about what would make a really great scene in the documentary they thought they were making,
4And so one of them suggested climbing all the way up to gBilly Penn’s hat,
5On top of hCity Hall,
6And having Harry say a few words with the whole city laid out below.
7Everybody thought this over for another bottle or so,
8Until Harry suddenly stood up and said, Let’s do it.
9It’s a pretty beautiful city when there isn’t any sun to screw up the view.
10And so one of the bravest of the followers and all the conscious members of the camera crew piled into Harry’s Silver Cloud,
11And rode down to City Hall,
12Where they watched some TV in the back while one of the Angels scouted out ways and means,
13Until he returned without any explanations,
14And ushered everybody inside the building,
15And then into an elevator,
16So that there was only a little climbing to be done when they got onto the roof,
17Which Harry led the way on,
18Because he really didn’t seem to care at all about how high up they all were,
19And what a bummer it would be to fall all the way to the ground.
