  [Les walks in, looking dazed] 

  Venus Flytrap : Les! Are you okay?

  Les Nessman : I don't know. A man and his two children tried to kill me. After the turkeys hit the pavement, the crowd kind of scattered but, some of them tried to attack me! I tried to jam myself into a phone booth. Then Mr. Carlson had the helicopter land in the middle of the parking lot. I guess he thought he could save the day by turning the rest of the turkeys loose. It gets pretty strange after that.

  Venus Flytrap : [to Andy]  "Now" it gets strange.

  Andy Travis : Yeah, right. Now, Les, c'mon now, tell us the rest.

  Les Nessman : [dazed]  I really don't know how to describe it. It was like the turkeys mounted a counter-attack. It was almost as if they were... organized!

  Arthur Carlson : [Mr. Carlson and Herb come out of his Mr. Carlson's office]  As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!

• Venus Flytrap : What do you suppose he's up to?

  Dr. Johnny Fever : Carlson? I don't know. You should have been here for the big wig promotion.

  Venus Flytrap : What happened?

  Dr. Johnny Fever : Well, naturally, it didn't work, and we ended up with a warehouse full of wigs. Carlson, he couldn't figure out how to get rid of 'em until the Guatemalan earthquake.

  Venus Flytrap : Say what?

  Dr. Johnny Fever : Well, the Red Cross called out, you know, for blankets, clothes, anything. So Carlson, out of the goodness of his heart, shipped these destitute earthquake victims in Guatemala three thousand blonde stretch wigs. You know, I still have this picture in my mind of quake victims stumbling through the rubble - all looking like Dolly Parton.

• Venus Flytrap : [about Mr. Carlson]  This man must be stopped before he promotes again.
