   ZETA MIGHT BE ABLE
   TO MAINTAIN TROPICAL STORM INTENSITY FOR ANOTHER 12 HOURS OR SO
   BEFORE THE CYCLONE ENCOUNTERS VERY HOSTILE MID-LEVEL WESTERLY WINDS
   BEHIND THE APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROUGH PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED.
   Hostile. Oh, sure. Says you. For, like, the fifteenth time.

   If that thing came near CrabAppleLane, there’d be a lot of hostility. Enough already.

   Forecaster Avilla enters carrying computer printouts from stage left

   Forecaster Avilla:
   Bring out your dead!
   [clang]
   Bring out your dead!
   [clang]
   Forecaster Stewart:
   Here’s one.
   Forecaster Avilla:
   Ninepence.
   Zeta:
   I’m not dead!
   Forecaster Avilla:
   What?
   Forecaster Stewart:
   Nothing. Here’s your ninepence.
   Zeta:
   I’m not dead!
   Forecaster Avilla:
   ‘Ere. He says he’s not dead!
   Forecaster Stewart:
   Yes, he is.
   Zeta:
   I’m not!
   Forecaster Avilla:
   He isn’t?
   Forecaster Stewart:
   Well, he will be soon. Very ill; wind shear and all. Ripping him apart, it is.
   Zeta:
   I’m getting stronger!
   Forecaster Stewart:
   No, you’re not. You’ll be less than a Spring shower in a moment.
   Forecaster Avilla:
   Oh, I can’t take him like that. It’s against regulations.
   Zeta:
   I don’t want to go on and dissipate!
   Forecaster Stewart:
   Oh, don’t be such a baby.
   Forecaster Avilla:
   I can’t take him.
   Zeta:
   I feel fine! I have convection!
   Forecaster Stewart:
   Well, do us a favour.
   Forecaster Avilla:
   I can’t.
   Forecaster Stewart:
   Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won’t last long in this subtropical ridge.
   Forecaster Avilla:
   No, I’ve got to go to the Pacific Basin. Some real heavy vapor action there.
   Forecaster Stewart:
   Well, when’s your next update?
   Forecaster Avilla:
   5 pm.
   Zeta:
   I think I’ll improve my inner-core circulation.
   Forecaster Stewart:
   You’re not fooling anyone, you know. Look. Isn’t there something you can do?
   Zeta: [singing]
   I feel happy. I feel happy.
   [whop]
   Forecaster Stewart:
   Ah, thanks very much.
   Forecaster Avilla:
   Not at all. See you at 5, then.
   Forecaster Stewart:
   Right. All right.
   [exit all]
