Sounds like Passion Play by Peter Nichols. There are other characters in some scenes,
maybe the film didn't show those bits.

Not without an itemized receipt I don't!

Stay away from accountants who boldly go into grey areas...some of those
grey areas turn out to be cinderblock walls.

The very tail of the truck contains (when I am on the gig), 
a bicycle
an expresso machine
a refridgerator
golf clubs
a cooler 
a VHS machine
These items vary, of course, depending on the space at hand.  Every time I
leave one at home without insuring that one of them will be available at
the other end, I tend to regret it.  Working shouldn't necessarily mean
suffering.  I can't tell you how handy some of those items have been to my
employer from time to time, whose favorites seem to be from most to least
important, the espresso machine, the bike, the cooler, and the VHS machine.
 No one plays with my other toys.  If your kids don't get to play at work
on a fairly regular schedule, get ready for burnout and turnstile
turnaround.

Get thee to Tucson (go to AZ, find Nowhere, turn south, stop at the
middle), get to the geographical center of the music, theatre, corporate,
and film areas of town.  Look aroudn til you see a purple '93 BMW R-100
holding up a mailbox and a Jolly Rodger flying from the house.  Ya can't
miss it.
The only money I've spent on the thing is the plumbing to allow me to

de-pressurizing.  One thing that *is* msising, however, is the proper sized
tank.  I have a (nine pound?) CO2 tank that is about 5.5 or 6 inches in
diameter, and about 14 inches tall, and I'd prefer something that is 4" in
dia. and 20-24" tall so I can use the O2 tank holder that came off the one
of the wheelchairs in my garage.  This would be similar to the tanks that
you see being wheeled around by older folks that need o2, in hospitals, and
strapped to gurneys in ER type dramas.  Do they make this size for CO2 use?
 I'd liek to get something that'd be fairly easy to re-fill.  Once I have
the tank onboard, simply add casters and I have a road-kegerator!
(ad that to the pack-out for road gigs on the above list!)

I need a glow-in-the-dark balloon that I can pop without leaving residue.
Anyone got any ideas?

I don't know what C02 use of a ked is but for short trips what about CO2
tanks for paintball?
They range in size from 4 oz to 20 and are cheap, don't know about use with
food though.

about halfway down they have a product that might help.

I would think if you where to use some glow in the dark paint very thin 
and let it dry on it.  Shouldn't leave any residue.

Now I must point out that popping balloon with out safety glass would 
be considered very dangerous. You should worn the actors of this and 
have them sign a wavier.  ER and eye doctors cost TONS cash and after 
all of that they could still sue you.  I know this may sound overkill 
but I'm sure someone here will have a story about popping a balloon.
