security office the thief hid several of

the condoms before somebody here stopped

a hero here and that person deserves a

reward did somebody call me don't like

together he was worth a shot that even

the way it happened at all I was the

hero well what's your version Harriet

quite a story quite Harriet I think your

brain just fell out of your nose are you

going to believe the prattle of

mere babes let me tell you what really

happened as soon as I saw that we were

faced by a desperate criminal despite

the pain in my back I sprang into

immediate action crime is my business

swordsmanship at Savile school of

vicious criminals oh yeah vicious

criminal hmm I think it only fair to

warn you I have seen every Errol Flynn

the wrong man to prefer with I love only

children if you let me live I promise to

turn myself in no much fun there is no

man so Richard as not to deserve a

second chance

go and be free but vow to start life on

you thank you thank you what a guy

and that's exactly the way it happened

mr. Jennings so as you can see I'm the

one who deserves the reward that's the

most noble deed I have ever heard

brindle I could cry I could throw up

we'll split the reward but it's a fairy

club I guess that settles it you're the

hero of the days I wonder if you and

your daughter would like to join me at

the juice bar for a toast to your

heroism we'd be honored

join us folks know will love we'll be

down in a minute sir only Vickie could

talk she tell us what really happened

wait a minute maybe she can show us what

happened how dad everything that Vicki

season hears is filed away in her bubble

memory the visual images are stored

electronically as a series of video

screens so if I wire her memory bank to

the television set we might be able to

get a playback of exactly what she saw

okay we're all set you're all wired up

Vicki now if this works everything we

see will be through Vicki's eyes exactly

the way she saw and heard it honey

that's fantastic

we'll also be hearing her central

processing unit evaluate the information

sort of like hearing her thoughts that's

great dad

okay let's see what we got here okay

Vicki play back what happened during the

burglary just a few more steps mr.

brindle how Jamie you're so strong no

pastor Jamie qualifies for the Guinness

Book of Records it's a burglar okay
