| ANNOUNCER | The time had to be right, disheveled little lad, that’s why! | |
| BLUEBOTTLE | So, please tell breathless little Bluebottle here, what is the right time? | |
| ECCLES | (distant singing) I talk to the trees...that's why they put me away... | |
| FX: | PHONE RINGS | |
| BLUEBOTTLE | Thinks. Now's big chance to make an impression. Puts down Boy's Wonder Mag cardboard sword. Picks up phone. (loudly) Hello, who's there? | |

| ANNOUNCER | (clears
throat) Uh-hmmmm. Well folks, we know where this is leading, don’t
