I Need No Introduction, Shirley

I Need No Introduction, Shirley*
If there's one thing that riles the Maestro to no end, it is unnecessary and/or redundant repetition. Again, I say, reiteration really upsets him. I have just queried him vis- -vis a paragraph or two of introductory material and he snorted, quite rudely, some unintelligible Teutonic phrase (definitely low Deutsch). This was followed by a yell: "Why the ____ don't they just buy your first book  How to Say Awake During Anybody's Second Movement  because it's all in there?" With that he promptly stomped off in the direction of the bar-slash-garage and there are such noises emanating from this dual-purpose building as would put the fear of God into any decent man, woman  or sheep, for that matter.
So, unbeknownst to him, I'm going to quickly and quietly slip in the briefest of summaries as to WHO WE ARE just in case you didn't purchase the aforementioned book, so you'll know who we are, where we're coming from, and hopefully where the ____ we're going! (at least, as far as this book is concerned).
*This is no typographical error! This is a specific reference to you, Shirley Schuntzz! You may have worked at the Chezlee Cheez Factory for years and you may have pretended to be artistically sophisticated, but the only culture you have is in your yogurt! We have been introduced at least six hundred thousand gazillion times and yet you still wanly ask "Have we . . . ah . . . met?" Well, we have, Shirley, and I'm sick of it! Get glasses or get lost. You know darn well who I am. And you have no reason to adopt a high and mighty air (unless Limburger qualifies as a cultural status symbol). But enough of that.
