originally written as a Westernaudio drama for radio.
Our team of Discount Storytimeexplorers found the original
radio script in a remotemountain cabin with a note that
read, quote Radio still notinvented yet, Screw it, just

Herman.
Lucky for you, lucky listener.
Here is a performance of thenever-before-performed audio
drama Moby Dick.
The Western Pequod was a smalllittle town in Nerbley County.
(02:27):
Not much happened in Pequod,which consisted of a general
store, barber, famous footwear,an old-timey photo studio but
they just called it a photostudio and of course a saloon.
And of course a saloon.
(02:48):
One late afternoon in theaforementioned saloon, peony
plays piano for the usual crowd.
A pretty young lady flirts withthe bar keep, then grabs her
purse to leave for her shift atthe gumption factory, as canned
gumption is the town's mainrevenue.
She extends her thumb and pinkyfinger to the call me sign.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Call me Ishmael.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Ishmael the bartender smiles.
I will darling as soon as thephones are invented.
Now you go on to work.
I gotta tend a bar.

The girl leaves and Starbuckthe town sheriff moseys up to
the bar.
Evenin' Sheriff, will you behavin' the usual?
(03:35):
Not tonight, ishmael, I'm onduty.
Why are you still on duty?
It's been so quiet around here.
Exactly, and that's when asheriff gets nervous and just
like that, the saloon doorsswing open and then swing back
(03:56):
and someone says Ouch, damn it.
Then they swing open again anda figure careens through In
steps Captain Ahab.
He is grim and determined.
His clothes are all black andscuffed.
A white scar runs down hisscowling face.
(04:20):
Captain Ahab steps forward witha solid thud as his left leg is
missing, replaced with the legof a department store lady
mannequin.
The prosthetic is as menacingas it is shapely and makes a
glum thud as he walks.
His remaining leg wears a dulland scuffed Reebok cowboy boot.
(04:45):
Ahab stares at everyone andannounces I am looking for a
white whale.
For today is the day I get myvengeance.
My vengeance for that fatefulday.
Many a year ago, I had anargument with the great fish
(05:07):
known as Moby Dick, over whetheror not cereal is soup.
I say it is and it is.
Well things done got escalated.
Years ago at high noon, CaptainAhab and an enormous whale
(05:29):
faced each other with hatred intheir eyes.
Sheriff Starbuck stood betweenthem and explained the standoff
rules, in which there are norules.
Do you both understand therules?
Good, I want you both to drawand I want a nice clean standoff
(05:52):
with standard standoff rules,no hijinks.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Ow my leg.
You shot off my leg.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Captain Ahab hopped away, crying.
Back in the saloon a boinghopping sound is heard as a
white whale, Moby Dick, hopsforward.
He is large and stately whiteas snow, Wearing a white cowboy
hat, white as snow, and whitethree-piece suit white as snow,
(06:42):
and on his tail fin isduct-taped a human leg with a
black Reebok, cowboy boot,Black-ass snow.
He then says Serial.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Ain't soup stranger?
But that don't matter, becauseI ain't never seen you before
and I don't care none for theaccusations you accusationing me
of.
Speaker 1 (07:09):

We were in the standoff and youshot off my leg.
Look, you're wearing my leg.

leg.
Well, um, how do I know?

The townsfolk murmur and agree with Moby Dick.
Ishmael speaks up.
Well, we don't know youstranger, but Moby Dick done
been wearing that boot since hehad a shootout with some fella
years back Me.
That was me.
Sheriff Starbuck sees thesituation getting out of hand
(08:24):
and intervenes.
Now now ain't no reason forfeuding.
We have a situation that needssettling around here.
We solve it all civil-like byshooting at each other.

Let's all go outside the crowd,cheers Yay.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Now that we're all outside, I want you to draw and
I want a nice, clean standoffwith standard standoff rules no

My arm, you shot off my arm.
(09:17):
Captain Ahab hops away cryingand holding the bloody stump of
his shoulder.
Well, three months pass, thetown goes back to normal and
everything quiets back down.
Then one day in the saloon,Evening, sheriff, will you be
having the usual?
Not tonight, ishmael, I'm onduty Now.
(09:41):
Why are you still on duty?
It's been so quiet around herefor the last three months
Exactly.
And that's when a sheriff getsnervous and just like that, the
saloon doors swing open.
They then get stuck on adepartment store mannequin's
lady arm.
The arm eventually works thesaloon door back open and is
(10:05):
attached to Captain Ahab.
Ahab stares at everyone andannounces Ah, it's me, captain
Ahab again.
You may remember me from before.
I'm looking for a white whale.
For today is the day I get myvengeance.
(10:27):
My vengeance for that fatefulday many a year ago and also for
that fateful day three monthsago when that no-good white
whale, moby Dick, took off myleg and arm respectively.
Moby Dick hops forward with thetaped-on human leg.
(10:49):
He now has a human armduct-taped to his right flipper
and the arm flops back and forthas he speaks.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
No, I'm pretty sure that is my high school ring.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Oh really, we were in high school together, because I
don't remember seeing you.
Speaker 3 (11:38):

Oh yeah, what was our high school mascot?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Um a whale Lucky guess.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Sheriff Starbuck sees the situation getting out of

Captain Ahab hops away crying,using his mannequin lady arm to
staunch the blood coming out ofhis now empty spleen hole.
Well, let me tell you, threemore months pass, the town goes

Huh, I'm still alive.
(14:00):
I made it to the hospital afterthe last shootout.
They didn't have any humanspleens available so they
transplanted a badger spleeninto me.
It's kinda leaky, but overallit works okay.
You know, that brush with deathgot me thinking I was maybe too
(14:22):
hard on Moby Dick.
Maybe I should just learn tolet bygones be bygones.
I will be okay so long as Istill have my department store
mannequin lady leg, mydepartment store mannequin lady
arm, my leaky badger spleen and,most of all, my best gal, susie
(14:46):
