[Huck is exploring the town of Muscatine.]
Huck:
[to himself] Wow, what a great town. This place has got it all. Friendly town people, shopping, baby with a signal flare... Huh?
[Huck looks and sees that there is, in fact, a baby with a signal flare. Observing further, he sees that everyone in the town has a signal flare. To make matters worse, Huck spots a big "WANTED" billboard for Little Jimmy.]
Huck:
Ahhh! [he backs away from the billboard, only to bump into a policeman] Excuse me. [the policeman turns to Huck, revealing he has a signal flare, too; Huck backs up, and knocks over an n entire cart of signal flares] Oh! Really sorry about that!
[Huck bumps into the old man he met from earlier.]
Huck:
Excuse me.
Old Man:
Hey, is there somethin’ I can help you with, Sonny?
[He adjusts his hat with a signal flare. Huck sees it, screams, and runs away frightened, catching the baby’s attention. Cut to Tom and Little Jimmy on the dock.]
Tom:
You play any football in high school? You got the size for it.
Little Jimmy:
No. I was in musicals.
Tom:
Really?
[Huck comes rushing toward them.]
Huck:
Tom! T-Tom!
[The baby suddenly spots Little Jimmy, and starts crying loudly as he whacks against his carriage.]
Huck:
TOM! Whoa!
[Huck collides with Tom and Little Jimmy, and the three tumble down the stairs back onto the raft. The baby stops fussing and looks at his signal flare.]
Huck:
[grabs the paddle] We gotta get outta here! [pushes the raft away from the dock]
Tom:
W-What are you doing? Huck?!? What’s going on?!
Huck:
BEWARE THE BABIES!
[A signal flare shoots into the sky with a loud whistle and explodes into a firework. The baby laughs. Huck looks up in horror.]
Little Jimmy:
Oooh...pretty.
Tom:
Eh-hehh... eh, maybe no one noticed…
[He was wrong. Everyone else in the town starts firing their signal flares into the sky, making it look like a fireworks show.]
Huck:
[paddling faster] They all know about Jim! The posters are everywhere! Even the babies have signal flares!
Tom:
The babies?
Huck:
Yeah, Tom! The babies!
