Erin: (going into kitchen) I actually needed a jacket on my way home tonight - fall must be here.
Scooter: I know - it's not hot and humid here anymore.
Erin: (spotting Nora on sofa) Everything okay, Nora?
Nora: I'm fine...just tired.
Storyteller: Well, it is rather late - has everyone had anything to eat?
Beige: I had some Doozer sticks and a glass of blueberry juice a little while ago.
Scooter: I stopped and got a milkshake on the way back from school.
Nora: Erin and I met for sandwiches some time ago.
Storyteller: Ah...so everyone's eaten something...but does anyone feel like having a meal, or a snack?
Erin: Hmm...well, how about some crepes?
(general murmur of assent)
Storyteller: Good idea. Erin, start measuring the dry ingredients...Beige, start heating the crepe maker...Scooter, if you would cut up some fruit, and Nora, if you could beat some ricotta cheese with some sugar, and I'll get the milk and oil...
(all start moving around kitchen)
Nora: Is it true that Bryan's taken over at Hooper's Store?
Storyteller: It is...there's a "New Management" sign up, and I think half the residents have been in there already.
Erin: Yeah - I'll have to stop in when I've got an idle moment. (starts mixing crepe batter) I heard a funny story today, about Dave and Steve on the set of Fraggle Rock...
Scooter: Oh, yeah, Richard told me that one a while back - how the two of them were always scaring Jocelyn, and they got a bucket of confetti showered on them.
Beige: Was that Richard's doing? Was he still trying to get revenge for the sugar incident?
Scooter: No, someone from the special effects crew did it.
(up in heaven)
Richard: Well, if it had been up to me, it would have been a bucket full of ping-pong balls or something.
Jim: What, no water balloons?
Richard: No way - not with all those electronics in the room. (snickers) But the looks on Dave and Steve's faces were priceless.
Jim: (chuckles) And you wouldn't let them hear the end of it, would you?
Richard: Neither would Jocelyn - she wrote that entire episode with them in mind, remember?
