(Sketch enters and quickly "sketches" on a large pad of paper.
When he finishes, it's just a jumble of scribbles.)
CHIEF: (as he's sketching, watching) Yeah … yeah … okay. (when he's
finished) What in the world?! It's just scribble-scrabble! Is this
some kind of code?
NUMBERS: We don't want our intel to fall into the wrong hands, Chief.
KNOX: Well, tell us what we're looking at.
NUMBERS: (pointing out parts of the drawing) So here we have Jesus
entering Jerusalem on a donkey. And here, there are crowds of
people cheering and throwing palm branches in front of Him.
BREE: Sounds like quite an incident!
NUMBERS: Indeed. Thank you, Sketch. (Sketch exists)
DEE: Anytime that many people gather for one thing there's
probably more than one thing going on.
JANE: Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Chief?
CHIEF: I'm thinking we need to reopen the case of "The Mysterious
Encounter!"
(Jane nods in agreement)
GADGET: I've got something that might help, Chief. (pulls out a long
string)
KNOX: Who are you tying up with that flimsy string?
GADGET: Ah, but wait … (pulls out two rams horns) … attach these two
rams horns to each end and, (puts one up to each ear) voilá, you
can hear a conversation up to 40 cubits away! It's my latest
high-tech listening device.
ALL: (ad lib. "Oooo's and Ahhh's," "Impressive," etc.)
BREE: Gadget, you've done it again!
