Manager to Manager
[OWEN, spoken]
'Scuse me! Are you Esposito? You the guy I talked to on the phone? Are you the manager?

[ESPOSITO, spoken]
Yeah, I'm Esposito

[OWEN, spoken]
I'm Owen Tillerman, the park manager

[sung]
The park is filling up with trash

[BIRDIE]
Yeah

[OWEN]
I'm not dragging my butt back until you take my filthy stash
It's my duty, it's my job to keep the park clean and—
Oh my God!
This garbage got me screaming!

[spoken]
Okay, I just heard my voice, and it was loud—sorry

[sung]
Manager to manager
I know we'e at a standstill
But I'm down in the dumps and you're the only one
Who can take me to the promised landfill
[BIRDIE, spoken]
You gonna help my associate, or what?

[OWEN, spoken]
Associate?

[ESPOSITO]
Manager to manager I understand your fear. I mean
I don't mind that I smell like trash but you probably think it's weird
Look, I'd really like to help you but this isn't gonna work
My orders come straight from the mayor and he's being such a... a penis-face

[BIRDIE, spoken]
Why didn't you just say jerk? It would've rhymed

[OWEN]
People have called us officious
'Cause we find the minutiae delicious

[ESPOSITO, spoken]
That's true

[OWEN]
There's gotta be a way around these jurisdictions

[ESPOSITO]
To bypass the penis-faced mayor's dumb restrictions
[OWEN]
Wait! What if we find the right city statute to, you know (whistles)

[ESPOSITO]

Oh, you mean like a loophole?

[OWEN & ESPOSITO]
That's the best kind of hole
Manager brainstorm

[OWEN, spoken]
What about Statute 8923?

[ESPOSITO]
That only applies to waste that is feces

[OWEN, spoken]
What about Statute 6-30?

[ESPOSITO, spoken]
That's from like a century ago
That's about polio

[OWEN]
Yeah, to stop the spread of disease
[ESPOSITO, spoken]
Silly, that only applies to citywide emergencies

[OWEN, spoken]
I should have known that. Wait

[sung]
City Code 1839?

[ESPOSITO]
Oh my God, section five?

[OWEN]
Paragraph eight

[ESPOSITO]
Yeah, fourteenth line

[OWEN & ESPOSITO]
It clearly states
"In times of environmental crisis
The park manager is empowered with the licence
To protect health priorities
And supersede mayoral authorities."

Manager to manager
I'm feeling so good about our plan
We just managed the crap out of that

[BIRDIE]
And a loophole is the best kind of hole
I'm so good at helping
