Civic Duty Page #7

Synopsis: Shortly after landing a job, Terry Allen is laid off, starts looking for another circa post September 11, 2001 media frenzy and paranoia with President George W. Bush stating that grief has turned to anger, anger to resolution, and that there are thousands of terrorists in over 60 countries ready to strike. With increasing reports of identity theft, the involvement of wealthy & educated foreigners in terrorist activities, Terry starts suspecting his new neighbor, a middle-easterner, who he stereotypes as 'raghead', 'camel jockey', and 'sand nigger'. His wife, Marla, does not share in his bigotry, but he believes that she has turned her attention from rock-stars to Jihadists. While looking for employment, as well as a loan to purchase a house, he also contacts the Federal Bureau of Investigation as he feels he has sufficient evidence that his new neighbor is structuring money, experimenting with chemicals, and associating with other middle-easterners for devious reasons.

The winner

of the 1969 masters

The tallest ever

tour champion,

Not only goes to him

that victory,

But over a dozen

pga tour titles,

19 championships-

There you go.

He has played in 999

pga tour championships,

And the hip injury

that bothered george

At age 20...

They told him

he'd be in a wheelchair-

[Sighing]

But he persevered,

fought through,

And played so well-

Some late-Breaking news

coming in now

Regarding the mysterious deaths

last tuesday.

The 12 fatalities

were caused

By atm deposit

envelopes

From banks

across the city,

The most recent fatality

Originating

from an atm envelope

At first

international bank.

It appears

the envelopes'

Lickable seals

have been found

To contain

free cyanide,

Which is

extremely lethal.

The source

of the cyanide

Appears to be

prussic acid,

And investigators

speculate

It was mixed with the glue

on the envelopes' seals.

At this point,

It's still not clear

Exactly where these envelopes

came from.

As the fbi

and police officials

Continue their-

[Commentator, distorting]:

it appears he's trying not

To put any spin on the ball.

Just hammer it.

[Anchor]:
it isn't clear

just how widespread

The danger may be.

They are also requesting

if anybody has any information

On where these envelopes

may have come from,

Please contact the fbi

Or your local

police department.

[Tv shuts off]

[News reports overlapping,

distorting]

[News voices growing louder]

Illegal immigrants...

[Voices overlapping]

[President bush, echoing]:

and all that lies before us...

May god grant us wisdom,

And may he watch over

the united states of america.
