Harry Ellis is talking to Hans about “Mister Mystery Guest.”

Ellis sits in a chair, smiles, and says, “I can give him to you.”

“Ow – God!” says McClane on the radio. Al picks up a microphone.

“Roy?” says Al, “Roy, are you alright?”

“Just tried to fire down a thousand-year-old Twinkie,” says McClane, grinning. He spits out the remains of the Twinkie. “What do they put in these things, anyway?”

“Sugar enriched flour,” says Al, “partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, polysorbate-60, and Yellow Dye Number Five. Just everything a growing boy needs.”

“How many kids you got, Al?” asks John.

“Well, as a matter of fact,” replies Al, “My wife is working on our first! How about you, Cowboy? You got any kids back on your ranch?”

McClane pulls out his wallet and looks at family photos. “Yeah,” he says, “Two.  Sure hope I can see them swinging on a jungle gym with Al Junior someday. ”

Al laughs. “Well, now that’s a date!” he says, “But you’re gonna have to bring the ice cream.”
