And remember, comedy4cast is all one word with the number 4.
Now here's chapter 17, A Fitting Farewell.
Music.
Previously in our story. Wait a minute.
If this is the first chapter you're listening to, it's going to spoil so many things.
This is your chance to turn back and listen to the story from the beginning.
I mean it. Final warning.
Okay, here we go. Ha ha, fooled you. I didn't start.
But now I'm going to.
One, two, two.
Gary, it's fine. I mean, sure, months of writing, editing, and recording will just be wasted if they listen to this chapter first,
but they're grownups.
They can make their own decisions.
So go ahead, give the recap.
Okay, you're the boss, boss.
Previously in our story, It was revealed that the mysterious stranger in town
is actually Perry J. Oshmont, independent film producer.
Oshmont wants to turn Danny's script into a movie for the low channel cable channel.
See, I told you it would spoil it.
As this chapter begins, the night has passed and very soon Perry J. Oshmont
will be emerging from the hotel.
Everyone in town is gathered outside the front entrance to give Mr. Oshmont a special gift.
Of course, with almost everyone gone in April, it's not that big of a crowd.
In fact, I can practically count them on my two hands.
Okay, Debbie Downer, zip it. Quiet, s'il vous plait. Here he comes. Quiet.
Suitcase in hand, sunglasses in place, Perry J. Oshmont emerges from the hotel,
wisely choosing to use the sliding door to the side of the revolving one.
In his haste, however, He almost runs into a young girl holding out a tray.
Whoa, whoa. Hey, mister.
Do you want to buy a bag of peanuts?
What's all this? We wanted to thank you for bringing a little bit of Hollywood here.
Speech! Speech! Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what to say.
My time here in Middling Fair has been... memorable.
But I think there's been a bit of a misunderstanding. We won't be filming the movie here.
I don't understand. You said that you could cut costs by having the movie take place in Chasm Valley.
Yes, we can, and we will.
But we'll be doing it in Canada at a recreation of Middling Fair.
You see, our neighbors to the north have that certain tax-incentive, old-timey Americana
feel this movie needs.
I'm sorry. Do we still have to pay for that song?
Not paying for the band, though, I'll tell you that much. I'm sorry, Danny.
That's just business.
Yeah, I guessingly suppose that's why they call it show business and not fruit by the foot.
Listen, I'll call you every day and let you know what's going on.
It'll be just like you were there.
Well, I would be there, if there was here.
Can someone tell me how to get to the Middling Fair Airport?
I need to hop on a puddle jumper to get to my main flight. Yeah, sure thing, Benedict Showbiz.
Take the trolley over there four stops to the skate park.
Stick a few steezy tic tacs to get through the bowl and over to the dog park.
You can cut right through, but be careful to hold your head up.
The dog owners can sense fear. Then, you have to... Hey, wait! What are you doing?
I called an Uber. It'll be here any second.
And there it is.
Okay, everyone, see you at the movies!
Canada? How exactly is that supposed to work? And will Oshmont finish his bag of peanuts before he boards the plane?
For high-flying answers, be sure to come back for Chapter 18, The Road Wearier.
