[Mysterious Benefactor]

  

Complete this phrase: "Listen, Vicki - oh, can't you hear it, too??!! I'm sure it's the sound of..."

[dom]

"...bats in my belfry!"

[MsCriseyde]

Listen, Vicki - oh, can't you hear it, too??!! I'm sure it's the sound of one hand clapping. 

[IluvBarnabas]

"Listen, Vicki - oh, can't you hear it, too??!! I'm sure it's the sound of Mrs. Johnson and Richard Garner making out in my bedroom! Oh, it's so hard to find good help these days!"

[MagnusTrask]

Listen, Vicki - oh, can't you hear it, too??!! I'm sure it's the sound of one hand clapping. 

My first thought-- isn't that strange?

[MsCriseyde]

My first thought-- isn't that strange?

Anyone who thinks like me is most definitely strange. 

[Lydia]

Listen, Vicki - oh, can't you hear it, too??!! I'm sure it's the sound of Mysterious Benefactor chewing his words with his mouth open!  I just knew we shouldn't have brought him here to play with David!

[Midnite]

Listen, Vicki - oh, can't you hear it, too??!! I'm sure it's the sound of a toilet flushing.  That's not supposed to happen for another 3 1/2 years!


(BTW, MB doesn't chew his words; just thought I'd mention that.  )

[Mysterious Benefactor]

BTW, MB doesn't chew his words

True. 


But wouldn't the alternative to speaking with ones mouth open be mumbling with ones mouth closed? And that would hardly be an example to set for David either. 

[MagnusTrask]

"... the Collinsport Sleeve Slasher!    Hide now, Vicki!   He's destroyed almost every dress you own!"

[Sara Monster]

"beating of the hideous heart!"

"someone being buried alive!"

"David, but he should be safely strapped into his bed at this hour!"

[MagnusTrask]

"... silence."

[Mysterious Benefactor]

"David, but he should be safely strapped into his bed at this hour!"

David would have been much better off if they had resorted to that.
