GK: . . . Brought to you by Fred Farrell, the name to trust when it comes to animal calls. (JUNGLE MONKEYS, BIRDS)

TR: This is Fred Farrell. How do you get people's attention in a city like New York? Calling a taxi for example. (TK: HEY!) Yelling doesn't work and neither does (TK; WHISTLE) whistling. But maybe this will. (ELEPHANT CALL) See? (CAR BRAKES). Or how about car alarms? There are car alarms going off twenty times a minute ---- one more isn't going to scare anybody off. No way. But maybe this will. (TK VICIOUS DOG BARKING) An electronic dog. But how about muggers? You're walking down a dark street and somebody comes up behind you ---- a whistle is no deterrent, but maybe this is (APE). At Fred Farrell, we can teach you how to make that orangutan call yourself while jumping up and down with your arms hanging at your sides. (APE) Statistics show that muggers never bother with crazy people. (APE). Order your New York trifecta call (ELEPHANT, VICIOUS DOG, APE) and get my twelve-in-one animal call --- cockatoo (SFX), Mongoose (SFX), rooster (SFX), baboon (SFX), Goose (SFX), Moose (SFX), Appaloosa (SFX), tortoise (SFX), porpoise (SFX), opossum (SFX), ostrich (SFX), and Boston bull terrier (SFX).
