||||||||| Cease says "Catherwood, call me a cab." After the obvious joke, Cease exits at 8:00 PM.
||||||||| "Hey llanwydd!" ... llanwydd turns, and sees Bradshaw approching with the handcuffs, and is dragged away, screaming "it's only 8:00 PM, I don't have to go yet!"...
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 3 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
||||||||| Not Ed tiptoes in around 8:00 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last year's "unpleasant incident."
Not Ed: BBye!
||||||||| 8:00 PM -- Tweeny left for parts unknown.   (Entry from Nick Danger's "Idiots I Have Been Paid To Follow").
