• [on the stage of "The Ned Cook Show", not long after Ned's rescue] 

  Announcer : [to the audience]  Good evening! Welcome once again to "The Ned Cook Show"! As you know, Ned has not missed a performance in the last 167 weeks. A few days ago, Ned was involved with his cameraman in a disaster from which there seemed no escape. But, true to unique record, Ned is here tonight! Ladies and gentlemen - Ned Cook!

  [Audience cheers as Ned Cook enters the stage in a wheelchair] 

  Ned Cook : Thank you. Thank you, friends. As you see, I made the show, and what a show we have for you tonight. But first, I have one very important thing to say. My cameraman and I are only alive today because of the unselfish action of an organisation that is dedicated to its chosen task of rescuing people who normally would certainly die. I refer to International Rescue. I am going to take this opportunity to thank the people behind that great organisation. No-one knows who they are or where they come from, but come they do and help they bring. I only hope that somehow my words will reach those gallant people.

  [Gordon, Alan, Tin-Tin, Virgil, Scott, Brains, Grandma and Jeff are sitting in the back row of the auditorium proudly watching on] 

  Ned Cook : International Rescue, on behalf of Joe and myself, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
