Lothar Preen and Dobson are trudging through the forest. They meet up with Blodgett and go to the hatch.

Dobson : “What is this thing?”

Blodgett : “Exactly. It’s time we talked about this.”

The Grunty Man is packing salted fish on to the raft. Old Halob asks fictional athlete Bobnit Tivol if he has any knowledge of maritime matters. “Are you voting me off?” shouts fictional athlete Bobnit Tivol. He heads off angrily to see Marigold Chew. He tells her he knows she is a fugitive from justice. “Your secret’s safe with me but you’re not getting my spot on the raft!”

Marigold Chew : “If I want your spot I’ll get it”

i’m sorry i have been mostly absent from your lives. things are very busy at the heard world headquarters, and we are short staffed due to a scheduling mishap involving an unfortunate amount of staff members taking their summer vacations at the same time. i have personally scrapped together this show for your enjoyment which includes rambling through a homemade microphone on the way to the liquor store modulated through a homemade delay pedal; rebote 2 and several insects, birds, and RF signals that play together nicely. We end with a short motorcycle test ride on my 1975 Honda CB750F. see if you can hear the part where i stall the engine like the true winner i am.

The beach. Solemn music. Ah-Fang Van Der Houygendorp’s funeral. Everyone is looking very deep and meaningful, holding hands and comforting one another. Lothar Preen is now looking even more soulful than before, if such a thing is possible. Dobson is back and in charge of the arrangements. He asks Mrs Gubbins if she wants to say anything. She looks sulky, but I think it is meant to be grief, and shakes her head. Lothar Preen launches into a speech about what a great guy Ah-Fang Van Der Houygendorp was, even though he didn’t get to know him.

Blodgett arrives, still soaked in Ah-Fang Van Der Houygendorp’s blood. “It was my fault! We found a plane! I would have gone but my leg was hurt. He was a hero.” Dobson loses it, runs over and knocks Blodgett to the ground and begins to beat him up, shouting “Where were you? Where were you?” The others pull him away as we pause for the first advert break.

At this point we learn that L’Oreal has a new product featuring “light reflecting booster technology”.
