[Narrator:]

The legend you are about to hear is true

Only the needle should be changed to protect the record

[St. George:]

This is the countryside

My name is St George

I'm a knight

Saturday, July 10th, 8:05 pm

I was working out of the castle on the nightwatch

When a call came in from the Chief

A dragon had been devouring maidens

Homicide

My job, slay him

[St. George:]

You call me, Chief

[Chief:]

Yes, the dragon again, devouring maidens

The King's daughter may be next

[St. George:]

Mmm-hmm

You got a lead

[Chief:]

Oh, nothing much to go on

Say, did you take that.45 automatic

Into the lab to have them check on it

[St. George:]

Yeah, you were right

[Chief:]

I was right

[St. George:]

Yeah, It was a gun

8:22 pm, I talked to one of the maidens

Who had almost been devoured

[St. George:]

Could I talk to you, Ma'am

[Maiden:]

Who are you

[St. George:]

I'm St. George, Ma'am

Homicide, Ma'am

Want to ask you a few questions, Ma'am

I understand you were almost devoured by the dragon, Ma'am

Is that right, dragon

[Maiden:]

It was terrible

He breathed fire on me

He burned me already

[St. George:]

How can I be sure of that, Ma'am

[Maiden:]

Believe me

I got it straight from the dragon's mouth

[St. George:]

11:45 pm

I rode over the King's Highway

I saw a man

Stopped to talk to him

Pardon me, Sir

Could I talk to you for just a minute, Sir

[Knave:]

Sure, I don't mind

[St. George:]

What do you do for a living

[Knave:]

I'm a knave

[St. George:]

Didn't I pick you up on a 903 last year for stealing tarts

[Knave:]

Yeah, so what

Do you wanna make a federal case out of it

[St. George:]

No, Sir

We heard there was a dragon operating in this neighborhood

We just want to know if you've seen him

[Knave:]

Sure, I've seen him

[St. George:]

Mmm-hmm

Could you describe him for me

[Knave:]

What's to describe

You see one dragon, you seen 'em all

[St. George:]

Would you try to remember, Sir

Just for the record

We just want to get the facts, Sir

[Knave:]

Well, he was, you know, he had orange polka dots...

[St. George:]

Yes, Sir

[Knave:]

Purple feet, breathing fire and smoke...

[St. George:]

Mmm-hmm

[Knave:]

And one big bloodshot eye

Right in the middle of his forehead and

Uh, like that

[St. George:]

Notice anything unusual about him

[Knave:]

No, he's just your run-of-the-mill dragon, you know

[St. George:]

Mmm-hmm

Yes, Sir

You can go now

[Knave:]

Hey, by the way, how you gonna catch him

[St. George:]

I thought you'd never ask

A Dragonet

3:05 pm

I was riding back into the courtyard

To make my report to the lab

Then it happened

It was the dragon

[Dragon:]

Hey, I'm the fire-breathin' Dragon

You must be St George, right

[St. George:]

Yes, Sir

[Dragon:]

I can see you got one of them new.45 caliber swords

[St. George:]

That's about the size of it

[Dragon:]

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

You slay me

[St. George:]

That's what I wanted to talk to you about

[Dragon:]

What do you mean

[St. George:]

I'm taking you in on a 502

You figure it out

[Dragon:]

What's the charge

[St. George:]

Devouring maidens out of season

[Dragon:]

Out of season

You'll never pin that rap on me

Do you hear me, cop

[St. George:]

Yeah, I hear you

I got you on a 412 too

[Dragon:]

A 412

What's a 412

[St. George:]

Over-acting. Let's go

[Narrator:]

On September the 5th, the Dragon was tried and convicted

His fire was put out and his maiden-devouring license revoked

Maiden devouring out of season is punishable

By a term of not less than 50 or more than 300 years
