(Mansley is on the phone with the general.)

General Rogard:
Damn it Mansley, you call me at home for this?

Kent Mansley:
You don't understand, sir. It-it-it it-it ate my car.

General Rogard:
And you saw this happen?

Kent Mansley:
No, I didn't actually see it... It ran off...into the woods.

General Rogard:
So you don't have any evidence?

Kent Mansley:
But sir, I've got an eyewitness.

General Rogard:
An eyewitness with a concussion.

Kent Mansley:
Sir, this thing... (Lowers his voice) ...this thing is a menace. It tore up a power station. And caused a train wreck!

General Rogard:
What did? Tell me again Mansley, and this time, listen to yourself.

Kent Mansley:
(sighs) A giant...metal...monster.

(Hysterical laughter on the other end. Mansley turns around a kitchen mitt that seems to mock him.)

Kent Mansley:
Please, sir. I've got a feeling about this one.

General Rogard:
That's lovely, Kent. But let me try to explain how this works: If you told me you found, say...ah, a giant footprint, I might send over a expert to make a plaster cast of it. @#!*% , you get me a photograph of this thing and I could probably get some troops over there! But you tell me you have a feeling...

Kent Mansley:
All right, then fine. You want evidence? I'll get you evidence. And when I do, I'm gonna want a memo distributed.

General Rogard:
That's just swell, Kent.

Kent Mansley:
(yelling) I'm gonna want that memo carbon COPIED AND RE-DISTRIBUTED AND-!...

(Rogard hangs up)
