Garrison Keillor: ...after a word from the Catchup Advisory Board.
(MUSIC)
Sue Scott: These are the good years for me and Jim. Jim was at the office and he went crazy and ran around waving scissors and they sent him to a doctor who said Jim was suffering from job-related stress so they gave him two months of medical leave and that's how we got to come to Iceland. Icelandic Air had a bargain on flights from Minneapolis to Los Angeles with one stop in Reykjavik so we went to Reykjavik and decided to skip L.A. We stayed in a hotel with a pool out back with a steaming hot mineral bath and (BUBBLING) we sat in it and didn't say a word for about half an hour.
Tim Russell: You still there?
SS: Sitting right here next to you.
TR: Barb, I'm so relaxed, I don't feel like turning my head.
SS: Then don't.
TR: But I have to live my life, Barb. I don't want to be a vegetable. I feel like a steamed broccoli.
SS: You look like steamed broccoli.
TR: We should get out of the pool and go see the rest of the country.
SS: Let's do it.
TR: You go first.
SS: We could go see that mountain with the faces of four presidents of Iceland carved in it.
TR: Barb, you're losing your mind.
SS: I am. What about the statue of a lady holding up a big torch.
TR: Wrong, Barb.
SS: And the name of the city spelled out in big white letters on top of a mountain?
TR: I'm afraid you picked up the wrong postcards, Barb.
SS: Anyway, I'm happy to sit right here.
TR: Fine, but what are we going to do when we have to go back to the craziness we left back home?
SS: We'll just have to make sure we eat enough catchup, Jim. Catchup, you know, is filled with natural mellowing agent that keep a person calm, just as if you were sitting in a hot bath. Jim? Are you awake? Jim?
Rich Dworsky: These are the good years, when all of life is spread
Out there before us, with good times ahead.
Life is flowing, like ketchup on white bread.
GK: Ketchup... for the good times.
RD: Ketchup... Ketchup...
