The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Re-establish the scene. All of the rescuers and rescuees plus Arana and Tobi are gathered in Tobi's living room, discussing recent events. Focus is between Tobi and Nowra with Gerald.
Tobi: The guard?
Nowra: See, I got Gerald as an egg, which I incubated in a shoebox. He imprinted on me as his 'mother.'
Nowra: Anyway, I decided to see if I could train Gerald to make certain sounds on verbal command.
Panel 2
Close-up on Gerald, sitting on Nowra's shoulder.
Nowra: So I downloaded and taught Gerald hundreds of sounds, associated with specific key words.

Panel 3
Two-shot of Nowra and Gerald.
Nowra: So, for example, if I say 'dog.'
Gerald: Rarf! Rarf!
Nowra: Or, if I say 'cat'
Gerald: Meow!

Panel 4
Looking past Nowra and Gerald to show most of the group gathered around, looking at the bird appreciatively, many of them clapping their hands.
Nowra: And if I say, 'shotgun.'
Gerald: Krk-CHAK!

Panel 5
Nowra with Neanne looking at him adoringly from one shoulder, Gerald perched on the other, as Nowra waxes triumphant.
Nowra: When I saw Gerald in the room behind Jensen, I worked s-h-o-t-g-u-n into what I was saying.
Nowra: Gerald made the sound, Jensen believed it, and gave up.
Panel 6
Closing scene, group shot, Nowra finishes his story, everyone is smiling and laughing.
Nowra: The funny part is, Jensen knew about Gerald's talent but when he heard that shotgun ...
Gerald: Krk-CHAK!
Nowra: ... being racked, he could think of nothing else.
Nowra: Boy, was he pissed after he figured it out.
