"Nothing yet, Harry. We weren't told to do anything, so we haven't done anything. But, we're all here in the command center just waiting to answer telephones if anyone calls."
"Thanks, Ethel, keep us posted on the fine work you've been doing. Now, LIVE on Second Street is Kiki Vertigo who's been interviewing residents about their response to the snow."
"With me right now, EXCLUSIVELY on Second Street, is resident Homer Bigeloo who has a snow shovel. Homer, what are you doing?"
"I'm shoveling snow."
"Have you been shoveling long?"
"I don't like snow."
"How long haven't you liked snow?"
"A long time."
"Thanks, Homer. I'm Kiki Vertigo, LIVE on Second Street. Back to you, Harry."
"Another great interview, Kiki. Right after this message from Mendocino Frozen TV Dinners, we'll be back with an abbreviated 'World in 60 Seconds' edition, and special 15-second reports about the nuclear war in the Middle East and the break-through discovery of a cure for cancer."
