...more again again again!...

narrator: look at them! cowering behind a rock while the Other Way roars and rages about
jj: we should try again. i'm not going to have come all this way just to be mildly terrified by a sheepy creature
amos: i am! i think we should run away home and have tea and crumpets
dave: that's very typically fairytale of you, amos. we should defeat this beast, and capture him
[there is a roar from the distance]
jj: if we can trip him on a rock, we can catch him in a net
[they prepare to trip the Other Way on a rock]
announcer: [appearing from the sidelines] i'll save you!
jj: we're alright actually, we're about to trip him on a...
announcer: [loudly] YOOOU SHALLLLL NOT PASSSSS!
jj: [quietly] um...
announcer: RAAAAAAH! [fires rocket launcher in general direction of Other Way] [misses profusely]
jj: at this point i think we should resort to plan B, namely the bit where we run away and have tea and crump... [there is a massive explosion]
all: aaaaah!
dr moose: *meow*
[dust etc. envelops foreground]
[coughs and spluttering]
narrator: well, that was messy
dave: yes, it was
narrator: ...and once again, everything went tits up when the announcer got involved
announcer: [weakly] i was only trying to help
[spluttering is heard in the distance]
jj: i think he may have stunned the Other Way!
[pan to Other Way lying stunned amongst the rubble]
amos: it was quite a stunning performance
announcer: thank you
amos: no, thank you
announcer: my pleasure
narrator: and so, the Other Way was finally at their mercy. but what would happen next?

grand finale to follow!

...!more

jj: [cautiously] i'm just cautiously entering the lair of the Other Way
dave: i'm following closely
amos: i'm making something of a nuisance of myself
dr moose: *meow*
narrator: and i'm gently spectacting in an omnipresent, omniscient sort of way
amos: lovely weather for ducks! [starts to sing] all the ducks are singing with your daughter, lalala
jj: shut it, amos! the beast is near! we must be very wary indeed
[from the distance there is a strange sound]
dave: it sounds a bit like a large sheep
narrator: and so it is! some say it resembles a ram, others a lamb, others still a ewe
amos: oh my!
jj: just as well i bought my spike [produces spike]
dave: and just what do you intend to do with that?!
jj: when we get close, i will spike the Other Way on the end, and thusly carry him home
amos: isn't that a bit dangerous?
jj: i'm willing to risk it
amos: but it will hurt!
jj: i can take the pain
amos: i mean, it will hurt the Other Way, the poor little beastie
[there is a contemplative pause]
dave: how about we just shoot it with tranquilizers?
jj: a fine plan!
dr moose: *meow*
narrator: and so, with tranquilizer guns drawn and set to "stun," our cautious heroes approach some more (i believe they've been approaching for several episodes now) and enter into sight of the Other Way at last
amos: sweet stephanie!
dave: it's a...
jj: ...lamb/ram/ewe/sheep thing...
all [apart from dr moose who goes *meow*]: the Other Way!
other way: [roars like a sheep]
jj: fire!
[they shoot their tranquilizer guns]
other way: [roars louder and more sheepishly than before]
jj: they're not working! he will not be overcome!
all: retreat!
narrator: and so they beat a hasty retreat around the corner, so that they don't have to gaze at the monster for another minute.
and that was all for today

...to be continued in usual style...

[they turn]
[announcer runs off the other way]
dave: why, the sneaky devil is trying to steal our Other Way. i do believe he had no intention whatsoever of sharing it with us!
jj: the scoundrel!
amos: curse his little beard!
dr moose: *meow*
jj: pursue!
narrator: and so, they set off in hot pursuit until they finally caught the announcer by the tail
jj: gotcha!
dave: so we have!
announcer: so you have
amos: yes, we have
dave: indeed
announcer: yes
narrator: they had definitely...
dr moose: *meow*
narrator: ...sorry... they had definitely caught the announcer
jj: so tell us, you scoundrel, you sneaky devillish rascal with a little beard, where is this Other Way of yours?
announcer: [defeatedly] alright, alright, i'm sorry for my flight. it's just around the corner there in the deep underground lair
narrator: impressed by his rhymes, our heroes decided to follow his instructions and enter the lair...
