<br>

NARRATOR:<br>

Comptroller Schub is trying to sort out the confusion of Cookies and Pilgrims at the Miracle Rock when there is a clap of thunder, several flashes of lightning and - yes - a trumpet call. Our hero has arrived: J. Bowden Hapgood.<br>

<br>

HAPGOOD:<br>

Excuse me, but could you direct me to the Cookie Jar?<br>

<br>

SCHUB:<br>

What for? There's nobody there, they're all here. Now doctor, here's our problem in a nutshell.<br>

<br>

CORA:<br>

Oh, Schub!<br>

<br>

SCHUB:<br>

We must know immediately which of the people on that line are bona fide pilgrims entitle to take our miracle waters and which are -<br>

<br>

HAPGOOD:<br>

Cookies?<br>

<br>

SCHUB:<br>

Yes.<br>

<br>

HAPGOOD:<br>

Shall we dance?<br>

<br>

SCHUB:<br>

What the hell is this?<br>

<br>

HAPGOOD:<br>

I have to think, and I think best on my feet. And I must think up a quick way to discover who is who, and what is what and make everybody -<br>

<br>

SCHUB:<br>

Yes...?<br>

<br>

HAPGOOD:<br>

Happy, Mayor?<br>

<br>

CORA:<br>

You may. But how are you going to separate them?<br>

<br>

HAPGOOD:<br>

According to the principles of logic.<br>

<br>

CORA:<br>

Logic?<br>

<br>

HAPGOOD:<br>

It's quick and easy.<br>

<br>
