SANZO: Only you could prompt such a display of pity.

[He turns on his heel and leaves, ignoring Goku and Hakkai as they arrive onstage with heaping armfuls of gathered undies. They both pause to show Gojyo their loads before crossing to exit at the other end.]

GOKU: These were everywhere! Just like you do with yours!

HAKKAI: Now there's no need for new ones for a while, ah-ha-ha-ha...

[Gojyo watches them go, and then folds himself moodily onto the for-once-handy stool. A few more flung panties make haphazard landings around the stage, prompting a single tear to trickle down Gato's face in the wings. Yes, the planets are unquestionably in alignment for "This Vacation Sucks" by stormcloude, to the music of "Open Up Your Mind"!]

GOJYO: Oooh, ooooh, ohhh, ooooh, ohhh

Let's not talk about my childhood, it wasn't great
My family's pretty fucked up
Nowadays it's cigarettes, a deck of cards and lovely ladies

Then came Hakkai, his guts all spilling out,
I nursed him back to health
He even got my bed
(Of course, it's Hakkai)

In this world where life is always tough
We must be strong
The four of us are all we're depending on (depend on)
Traveling to the west to save the world
Got nothing better to do with this lifetime (this lifetime)

In the bar, come and gamble with me, I'll win the shirt straight off your back
Any game you want, I always win them all--
Unless it's Hakkai playing, don't let his smile fool you, it tells a
Thousand lies
Instead just look in his eyes

Just hold on tight this ride is very bumpy
Have to entertain yourself since there's no town for miles
This really is not my idea of a vacation
Still got nothing better to do with this lifetime

Just hold on tight I think Jeep picks the rough road
Keep holding your soul or it'll end up bounced onto the road
This really is not my idea of vacation
Even when we stay in all of the best towns

Not enough chicks, sex, booze, fights and cigarettes

First one knocking on my door was the grumpy monk, shouldn't have answered--
He's got a nasty temper, carries a gun and hits with a fan

The Monkey's always fucking hungry and a pain in the ass
Fun to steal his food
But Hakkai frowns at that

Sometimes I just wish I was alone
But then I fear
I think of them miles away
My gut clenches inside
This isn't the best vacation
But for them I'll do it
We're going west to try to save the world

All in all we're not the best heroes, our faults outweigh our virtues
However we're the only ones this world's got
At least until the wheel comes around again
And we're all back as someone else again and again

Just hold on tight this ride is very bumpy
Have to entertain yourself since there's no town for miles
This really is not my idea of a vacation
Still got nothing better to do with this lifetime

Just hold on tight I think Jeep picks the rough road
Even hold your soul or it'll end up bounced onto the road
This really is not my idea of vacation
Even when we stay in all of the best towns

Not enough chicks, sex, booze, fights and cigarettes

Just hold on tight this ride is very bumpy
Have to entertain yourself since there's no town for miles
This really is not my idea of a vacation
Still got nothing better to do with this lifetime

Just hold on tight I think Jeep picks the rough road
Even hold your soul or it'll end up bounced onto the road
This really is not my idea of vacation
Even when we stay in all of the best towns

Not enough chicks, sex, booze, fights and cigarettes

[Applause.]
