It is late at night when Harry comes home. Waiting for him in his room at the Tarantula Arms is Jollimore and Dr. Self-Help, Harry's psychologist from early life, when he suffered the tragedy of losing his band and family. Harry asks what they are doing in his room when they begin to explain to him that he made a deal to play the guitar the way he does, to know fame and riches, and now must pay up.
