PANEL 1

CAL

Rest her...your mother is alive and the queen of mahjong in Sarasota!

PANEL 2

SAL

So? Her soul shouldn’t get a little rest?

CAL

You’re killing me.

SID

Good. Then shut up and listen.

PANEL 3

SID

I can squeeze network a little. What if you do a nice human interest story on your pal the mad scientist?

PANEL 4

CAL

His name is Professor William Berkness and he’s not mad.

SID

So you say. We get some dramatic footage in his laboratory...

CAL

It’s an old army weather station.

SID

Whatever, get him to give some mumbo jumbo about his experiments...

PANEL 5

CAL

He’s doing cutting edge science that could predict when and where a tornado can strike on a shoestring budget.

SID

Hmmm, that’s pretty good. Go light on the mumbo, heavy on the jumbo. Turn on the old Cal charm, and...

PANEL 6

CAL

We sneak some science in! This is why I love you Sid.

SID

Then we can do one on Morgan Kohl and his International Weather Monitor...

CAL

And this is why I hate you.

SID

Then maybe N.O.A.A. operations.

CAL

Love you.

SID

Back at you buddy.
