Context

Text

Cedric: Relief aside, Harry, I have to warn you that we have a report that the last two bikers at large are trying to.. (Loud Bang and then fireworks fx.)

Harry: What in blazes was that? (Sound of motorcycles taking off and running throughout radio scene.)

Cedric: It’s the bikers trying to escape! There’s too many of them. You can’t fight them alone. Get the heck out of there, Harry!

Harry: But I’m not alone!

Shirley: Howdy, Chief! We’re firing up the cabbage cannon and taking down as many as we can. Maybe we can scare them off and they will turn right to the highway instead of left into town.

Cedric: I know you’ll do your best, men. I mean… guys… er… man and woman.

Sheriff: Don’t sweat it, Chief, I’ve been called worse, but not by much.

Harry: Here comes the bikers. Keep firing Shirley! We’ve got to discourage them!

Edna: Be careful!

Shirley: Bad news, Chief. They’re heading into town and bent on destruction. I don’t think there’s anything left to stop them.

(Phone rings.)

Edna: Cedric! The phone! It’s working! (She grabs it.) Good afternoon, Town of Dalmar, Gateway to carnage. Edna speaking. Mavis? Thank heavens you called! We didn’t even know service had been restored.

Cedric: Edna, this is hardly the time for talking with your friend.

Edna: (Ignoring Cedric.) No kidding? You did? How very clever of you.

Cedric: Edna, please.

Edna: (Holding hand over receiver.) Shush! She’s telling me how she solved our problems!

Cedric: Unless Mavis has an army, I hardly think that…

General Hilyard: (Over radio.) This is General Hilyard of the Canadian Armed Forces. (Helicopters are heard overhead.) General Hilyard to Manager Bottomly. Come in, Bottomly.
