[Narrator:]<br>
The legend you are about to hear is true<br>
Only the needle should be changed to protect the record<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
This is the countryside<br>
My name is St George<br>
I'm a knight<br>
<br>
Saturday, July 10th, 8:05 pm<br>
I was working out of the castle on the nightwatch<br>
when a call came in from the Chief<br>
A dragon had been devouring maidens<br>
Homicide<br>
My job, slay him<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
You call me, Chief<br>
<br>
[Chief:]<br>
Yes, the dragon again, devouring maidens<br>
The King's daughter may be next<br>
<br>
St. George:<br>
Mmm-hmm<br>
You got a lead<br>
<br>
[Chief:]<br>
Oh, nothing much to go on<br>
Say, did you take that .45 automatic<br>
into the lab to have them check on it<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
Yeah, you were right<br>
<br>
[Chief:]<br>
I was right<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
Yeah, It was a gun<br>
<br>
8:22 pm, I talked to one of the maidens<br>
who had almost been devoured<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
Could I talk to you, Ma'am<br>
<br>
[Maiden:]<br>
Who are you<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
I'm St. George, Ma'am<br>
Homicide, Ma'am<br>
Want to ask you a few questions, Ma'am<br>
I understand you were almost devoured by the dragon, Ma'am<br>
Is that right, dragon<br>
<br>
[Maiden:]<br>
It was terrible<br>
He breathed fire on me<br>
He burned me already<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
How can I be sure of that, Ma'am<br>
<br>
[Maiden:]<br>
Believe me<br>
I got it straight from the dragon's mouth<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
11:45 pm<br>
I rode over the King's Highway<br>
I saw a man<br>
Stopped to talk to him<br>
Pardon me, Sir<br>
Could I talk to you for just a minute, Sir<br>
<br>
[Knave:]<br>
Sure, I don't mind<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
What do you do for a living<br>
<br>
[Knave:]<br>
I'm a knave<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
Didn't I pick you up on a 903 last year for stealing tarts<br>
<br>
[Knave:]<br>
Yeah, so what<br>
Do you wanna make a federal case out of it<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
No, Sir<br>
We heard there was a dragon operating in this neighborhood<br>
We just want to know if you've seen him<br>
<br>
[Knave:]<br>
Sure, I've seen him<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
Mmm-hmm<br>
Could you describe him for me<br>
<br>
[Knave:]<br>
What's to describe<br>
You see one dragon, you seen 'em all<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
Would you try to remember, Sir<br>
Just for the record<br>
We just want to get the facts, Sir<br>
<br>
[Knave:]<br>
Well, he was, you know, he had orange polka dots . . .<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
Yes, Sir<br>
<br>
[Knave:]<br>
Purple feet, breathing fire and smoke . . .<br>
<br>
St. George:<br>
Mmm-hmm<br>
<br>
[Knave:]<br>
And one big bloodshot eye<br>
right in the middle of his forehead and<br>
Uh, like that<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
Notice anything unusual about him<br>
<br>
[Knave:]<br>
No, he's just your run-of-the-mill dragon, you know<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
Mmm-hmm<br>
Yes, Sir<br>
You can go now<br>
<br>
[Knave:]<br>
Hey, by the way, how you gonna catch him<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
I thought you'd never ask<br>
A Dragonet<br>
<br>
3:05 pm<br>
I was riding back into the courtyard<br>
to make my report to the lab<br>
Then it happened<br>
It was the dragon<br>
<br>
[Dragon:]<br>
Hey, I'm the fire-breathin' Dragon<br>
You must be St George, right<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
Yes, Sir<br>
<br>
[Dragon:]<br>
I can see you got one of them new .45 caliber swords<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
That's about the size of it<br>
<br>
[Dragon:]<br>
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha<br>
You slay me<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
That's what I wanted to talk to you about<br>
<br>
[Dragon:]<br>
What do you mean<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
I'm taking you in on a 502<br>
You figure it out<br>
<br>
[Dragon:]<br>
What's the charge<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
Devouring maidens out of season<br>
<br>
[Dragon:]<br>
Out of season<br>
You'll never pin that rap on me<br>
Do you hear me, cop<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
Yeah, I hear you<br>
I got you on a 412 too<br>
<br>
[Dragon:]<br>
A 412<br>
What's a 412<br>
<br>
[St. George:]<br>
Over-acting. Let's go<br>
<br>
[Narrator:]<br>
On September the 5th, the Dragon was tried and convicted<br>
His fire was put out and his maiden-devouring license revoked<br>
Maiden devouring out of season is punishable<br>
by a term of not less than 50 or more than 300 years<br>
<br>
