(GK: Garrison Keillor; SS: Sue Scott; TR: Tim Russell; FN:Fred Newman)

GK: ...After the show, it's Mel's Big Boy Buffet at the Mall. (TR: Saturday night is Mexican Fiesta Nite at Mel's ---- home of the All-U-Can-Eat Taco Sandwich ----- Two slices of white bread --- and put the beans on (SQUISH), the rice (SQUISH), the guacamole (SPLAT), the ketchup (SQUISH), the sour cream (SQUISH). Gotcher self a real supper.)

GK: Yes, at Mel's you'll find all the food you really love for the price of one appetizer at the restaurant you're probably going to wind up at because you're afraid to tell the people you're with right now that you don't like sushi, you'd rather go to Mel's. So---- ditch em. (TR: You wait here, I'll go get the car.) And if you don't care for the taco sandwich, try the roast turkey and dressing. SPLAT, SQUISH) Thanks, Mel. (FN: No problem.) MUSIC OUT
