[on the phone] Hello?
[Using a southern drawl] Mr. Gerald A. O'Malley?
Yeah?
Yeah, this is Roger Martel, sir. Kern County civil defense.
Yes sir! What can I do for you?
Government agencies have informed us that the Che Guevera unit of the ALF is planning to detonate eight jerry-rigged nuclear devices in Bakersfield, unless some federal prisoners are released by daybreak this morning.
Now, wait a minute. What's the yield, man? What's the yield? Am I in the kill radius?
We are not sure what the yield is, but you're correct in your assumption. You are in the kill radius.
Well, you're very calm about it! I've written you people letter after letter about this kind of thing, and you've ignored it! Now - now you're, you're certain that she's going to blow?
Just in case, sir, my advice would be to proceed immediately, and I repeat, immediately, to your bomb shelter. We've already had some leaks on this, and as your neighbors may come seeking protection from you, and no doubt they would be armed and desperate...
Oh, shut up! I've got 1 million things to do here!
[O'Malley slams down phone]
