Melvin P. Thorpe

Governor, Melvin P. Thorpe, Watchdog News. Why has the Chicken Ranch operation been so long ignored?

The Governor

We seem to be having some acoustic problems in here.

Melvin P. Thorpe

Aren't you afraid of possible pay-offs and bribes?

The Governor

Melvin, I'm sorry.

Melvin P. Thorpe

Enough o'this pussyfootion', Governor, what do you intend to so about the Miss Mona and the Chicken Ranch?

Melvin P. Thorpe
[the Governor sneaks off while he is looking away from him and into the camera. Melvin looks back to see the Governor is gone] [Re-appearing in the second level of the Capital Rotunda]

Now, Miss Mona, I don't know her/ Though I've heard the name, Oh yes / But of course I've no close contact / So what she is doing I can only guess / And now Miss Mona / She's a blemish / On the face of that good town / I am taking / certain steps here / Someone, somewhere's gonna have to closer her down.

Female Reporter

Was that a yes or a no?

Howard K. Smith

It's a possible maybe.
