SCENE 2
(At Headquarters people are busy at work as Dee enters and sets
down the string and the horns.)
JANE: Hey, Dee. Did you hear anything on the "storn-o-scope"?
DEE: The what?
JANE: The "storn-o-scope." String, horns, "storn-o-scope" … that's
the name Gadget gave it. Chief said if it's working in the field
it needs a name.
DEE: I'm not sure about the name, but it sure is working!
JANE: Everybody, Dee's back with a report!
(Everyone stops what they're doing and gathers around Dee.)
ALL: (ad lib. "what'd you hear?" "hear anything?" etc.)
CHIEF: (interrupting loudly) Quiet down, quiet now!
DEE: (whispering, almost inaudibly) You won't believe it, but …
CHIEF: (interrupting) Not you, Dee. We're a hundred feet underground
in this cave. I was quieting the rest of the crew.
DEE: (regular voice) Oh, sorry! Yeah! So I was on my stakeout ...
(moving over to the giant map) right here, hiding in some
bushes, when I heard an interesting conversation over here.
(pointing)
NUMBERS: By my calculations that's clearly 16 cubits and three spans
away.
GADGET: Did you use the "storn-o-scope"?
DEE: I did! And I could easily hear what was going on. It seems that
Jesus was talking to a group of people about whether or not
they believed Him.
CHIEF: Jane, make sure you're capturing all this.
JANE: Yes, Chief. (She takes notes on her clipboard during the
conversation.)
