TREY: [“Fly Famous Mockingbird” begins] So there he goes now, Colonel Forbin climbing up the mountain. Gets to the top of the mountain, gets to the top of the mountain. The mountain starts to shake and crumble, pieces of rock falling off the mountain leaving eye sockets. Until the whole side of the mountain turns into the spirit of Icculus. So, he’s found Icculus and he looks up and he says “Icculus, we’ve got big problems down here. Wilson’s got The Helping Friendly Book. What can you do to help us?”

Icculus looks down and says, “You’re a brave man for climbing all the way up here on the mountain and trying to find me. I’m gonna do something… I’m gonna do you a favor. “ So he says, “I’m gonna call on my friend The Famous Mockingbird.” The Famous Mockingbird comes flying out of the sky towards Icculus, and he lands up on the mountain near Icculus’s shoulder. Icculus whispers into The Famous Mockingbird’s ear. He says, “Go to the castle of Evil King Wilson, steal The Helping Friendly Book, and bring it over to the camp there so the people of Gamehendge, the Lizard people of Gamehendge can have the book and hopefully get back to the thing of, um, peace and tranquility again.”
But he sort of gives him a little warning. He says “All knowledge, having all the knowledge in the inherent universe… Once you’ve had this evil germ, you know, come into your society there from Wilson, it can be a dangerous thing. So, be careful, whoever gets this book, be careful because greed can come into the whole. But at any rate, I’m gonna send The Famous Mockingbird down and the rest of that will come later.”

So here it comes right now, The Famous Mockingbird right up there, right there. Here he comes. See him? Right there. The Famous Mockingbird, here he comes.

[“Fly Famous Mockingbird” continues through its conclusion, which is again followed by the “Interlude” and another narration.]
