||||||||| Catherwood accompanies Rufus_T_Firetween inside, makes a note of the time (8:00 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 6 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.

||||||||| Catherwood enters with Rufus_T_Firetween close behind, mutters something about disrupting his 8:00 PM tree-stunting plans, and runs off to the Aviary.
||||||||| 8:00 PM: DJTweeny jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past half hour!"
