ZETA MIGHT BE ABLE
TO MAINTAIN TROPICAL STORM INTENSITY FOR ANOTHER 12 HOURS OR SO
BEFORE THE CYCLONE ENCOUNTERS VERY HOSTILE MID-LEVEL WESTERLY WINDS
BEHIND THE APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROUGH PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED.

Hostile. Oh, sure. Says you. For, like, the fifteenth time.

If that thing came near CrabAppleLane, there'd be a lot of hostility. Enough already.

Forecaster Avilla:
Bring out your dead!
[clang]
Bring out your dead!
[clang]

Forecaster Stewart:
Here's one.

Forecaster Avilla:
Ninepence.

Zeta:
I'm not dead!

Forecaster Avilla:
What?
Forecaster Stewart:
Nothing. Here's your ninepence.

Zeta:
I'm not dead!

Forecaster Avilla:
'Ere. He says he's not dead!

Forecaster Stewart:
Yes, he is.

Zeta:
I'm not!

Forecaster Avilla:
He isn't?

Forecaster Stewart:
Well, he will be soon. Very ill; wind shear and all. Ripping him apart, it is.

Zeta:
I'm getting stronger!

Forecaster Stewart:
No, you're not. You'll be less than a Spring shower in a moment.

Forecaster Avilla:
Oh, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.

Zeta:
I don't want to go on and dissipate!

Forecaster Stewart:
Oh, don't be such a baby.

Forecaster Avilla:
I can't take him.

Zeta:
I feel fine! I have convection!

Forecaster Stewart:
Well, do us a favour.

Forecaster Avilla:
I can't.

Forecaster Stewart:
Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won't last long in this subtropical ridge.

Forecaster Avilla:
No, I've got to go to the Pacific Basin. Some real heavy vapor action there.

Forecaster Stewart:
Well, when's your next update?

Forecaster Avilla:
5 pm.

Zeta:
I think I'll improve my inner-core circulation.

Forecaster Stewart:
You're not fooling anyone, you know. Look. Isn't there something you can do?

Zeta: [singing]
I feel happy. I feel happy.

[whop]

Forecaster Stewart:
Ah, thanks very much.

Forecaster Avilla:
Not at all. See you at 5, then.

Forecaster Stewart:
Right. All right.

[exit all]

Bravo! I know you did all that from memory, too...
