Radio play

Scene I

[Sound effects: squish, squish, squish, squish]
Slug officer: Company, halt!
Slug officer: Scout! Anything good up there?
Slug scout: Sir! It’s just an old picnic table, sir!
Slug scout: Sir! I can scale it if you wish, sir!
Slug officer: That won’t be necessary, scout. We have reports of hydrangeas in the vicinity.
Slug officer: Company, march!
[Sound effects: squish, squish, squish, squish (fade out)]
Big pot of lettuce on picnic table: Whew.

Scene II

Woman: What’s that on your shirt? Is that a leaf?
Man: Where?
Woman: Turn around. On your back.
Woman: Ew! It’s a slug!

Slug: I’m the KING! OF THE. WORLD!

Man: Eh, get it off, please?
Woman: I’m not touching a slug.

Slug: I claim this territory in the name of my QUEEN!

Man: Here, knock it off with… with this watering can or something.
[Sound effect: watering can knocking slug off man's t-shirt]
Man: Thanks.
Man: I knew I was moving kinda slow lately, but this is ridiculous.
Woman: I don’t see a slime trail, though.
Girl: Maybe it jumped onto you out of a tree.

Scene III
Hedgehog: Ew, this cat food they put out for me is yucky.
Hedgehog: Pass.
[Sound effects: squish, squish, squish, squish]
Slugs: NOMNOMNOMNOM…
Hedgehog: Yum, slugs!
Hedgehog: Ew, they taste like that cat food now.
Hedgehog: Pass.
Slugs: NOMNOMNOMNOM…

  1. The person who discovered NOMNOMNOM was exactly onomatopoetic is as much my hero as the person who popularized emoticons is on my deathwatch list.
