The Wednesday @ 22:00h Show Theme Song

And it's alright,
Kathy will be going home soon.
Sixteen hours is quite enough unless you're listening to
The Wednesday @ 22:00h Show.

And an Australian guest may call in lieu, of Jenni
On the Wednesday @ 22:00h Show.

And time is short, but don't be blue,
There's still a Wednesday @ 22:00h Show.

And I'll be preparing more for interviews or I'll get sued
Because of the Wednesday @ 22:00h Show.

The Wednesday @ 22:00h Show Radio Play Theme Song

This is the next installment of the Wednesday @ 22:00h Show Radio Play.
Will there be enough people for five,
Or am I to live triple lives
to keep the play alive?
Athcot doesn't want Wendy caught, Jeff wishes to destroy one half
Of what makes her her,
I don't want to see what occurs
if she disses ice-cream.
Stacy is now playing along, I don't think she understands the great implications
Arising from her self-gratuitis wit.
She may have to have a fit,
if Wendy's demicised.
Jeff has the ball in his court, Mr. Paramedic Men will take away Anthem.
Then the house will be all his.
He must think he's quite the wiz
to be pulling this off.
Oh Wendy played by me you are so pretty and so caring.
Do you understand the import
In answering with a daring dairy retort?
You're playing with your life.
I'm wondering if Harold is dead or if he's just lost too much life to be lively again.
In the end I think he is a nice guy.
I guess the same could be said all the time
About each bloke one meets.

About each bloke one meets.

The Wednesday @ 22:00h Show Radio Play

Cast: Harold- The Honky Tonk Man (pre-recorded)

Any-Name-Beginning-With-"A"- Ron Hawkins (pre-recorded, though I accidently gave him the pages in the wrong order, and didn't have time to edit it correctly. So the play seemed chaotic this week.)

Stacy- Sujata (She sat in the bradcast booth so that I could sit in the production room and play The Honky Tonk Man's and Ron Hawkin's lines, as the second tape deck in the broadcastin booth wasn't working.)

Wendy- me

Jeff- me
Wendy- Do I like ice-cream. This is tricky you know because it seems I've answered this question before but I can't quite remember when unless it wasn't me but perhaps the other me which you know everyone has you know at least for different people but sometimes for the same one you know like if I was trying to hide something which I'm not you know but if someone else was but you know maybe I'll just answer the question now with-

Harold- Wendy! Stop! Don't say anything!

Ashoi- It's Harold! He's alive. I knew it. Mr. Paramedic Men, care for him immediately. No! Wait. What was that he was saying?

Jeff- I'm telling you, everything he's doing is purely reflective. Now let him alone.

Stacy- I don't know, Jeff. He's looking pretty alive.

Harold- Jeff and Stacy have been planning to have you and Wendy removed from you house all along, Adroct. They want to replace you and live the kind of life they have always wanted to.

Afhiso- You mean they envy our life?

Jeff- Don't be silly, Harold- though I know you can't really hear me, we only want what's best for them.

Wendy- Well you know not that I'm all caught up with me but you know I like things to get finished while I'm doing them you know like my mom always said never leave a job half done but you know I think I'd like to tell Jeff you know since he asked whether or not I like ice-cream-

Harold- I'm telling you, Wendy- please Mr. Paramedic Men, leave me be for a minute- I'm telling you Wendy, they only want to hurt you. Get Stacy to finish her story about the plant she killed.

Asdfhoi- Ya, that's right. You were telling us how leaving your previous thoughtless life, left a plant dead that you had promised to care for within it. You never told us what happened with the owners of the plant.

Stacy- Well-

Jeff- This is silly. That story was cut off episodes ago. And if I remember correctly, it was because we were trying to find out what skeletons you have in your closet, Abnomertal. If I remember correctly, you never quite got to the nasty parts, conveniently so.

Ashio- We're not talking about me right now, Jeff, we're talking about STacy.

Stacy- Actually, I would like to finish my story.

Jeff- But what about Harold, he's hurt.

Aiohdhs- You're stalling Jeff.

Jeff- No, I'm just concerned.

(LAUGHTER)

Stacy- You see, the person I was watching the plant for was very rich and influential.

Jeff- He had the flu?

Stacy- No, he had alot of power.

Jeff- Oh, this is silly. If you can't get the story right.

Wendy- You know You know I think she is getting the story right or at least saying what she means but that you know you are entering that realm again where you seem different I mean stupid but really have some ulterior motive you know but where's my drink.

Harold- You're right, Wendy. I knew all along about Jeff and his guile. That's why I came to your house with that silly story about the big burly men following me, and my creation of El Nino. I knew that today was the day that Jeff and Stacy were going to infiltrate your house.

Ahios- But the two big burly men actually came to the house looking for you.

Harold- I hired them for effect.

Jeff- Obviously Harold is not aware how in tune my private investigatorial skills are to his deceiving ways. His story is so weak that I won't even bother to mention the obvious fallacies it contains.

Wendy- Well you know I think that any story that people are trying to use here you know are just as improbable as another you know but why not you know since life is like that you know I mean improbable and so since the only stories we have all seem odd it seems that one of them could be right since any odd story has the potential even in light of more sane ones while we have more than one odd story and no sane ones or did I say sane or was it sink tap water fluid swallow did someone say drink?

Aohis- Wendy's right. I believe Harold. He obviously isn't in love with Wendy, and wished to steal her away from me either.

Harold- No, that's not quite true. I did in fact cause your immense growth in size, and I do expect to have Wendy as my wife after my limbs are straightned out, and I can walk properly.

Wendy- Well that's figured out.

Ahiso- But I love Wendy!

Harold- You should have thought of that before you convinced her to proclaim her love for me to save your own life.

Asdho- But now I'm alive to fight for her.

Harold- And to break a vow?

Stacy- I think this story is beautiful.

Harold- Our story or yours?

Stacy- Oh, you mean you still want to hear mine?

Jeff- No! They don't want to hear it, Stacy!

Ahiso- Oh, but we do, we do.

Jeff- Oops. I'm tripping.

(CRASH)

Ahios- Oh no! Jeff, you knocked down the couch you put up to support the structure of the house. It's caving in again.

Jeff- I said "oops".

(LAUGHTER)

Stacy- What are we going to do?!

Wendy- No!... I... Don't...

Harold- Look! WEndy's standing on the couch, keeping the ceiling up with her hands!

Wendy- like... ice.... CREAM!

Jeff- Oh ya, that's the unkind personality in Wendy's repetoire. We're going to have to take her away. Come on Stacy, give me a hand.

Asfhio- STacy! No!

Jeff- Come on, Stacy.

Stacy- Well...
