[FIN]

And thus ends the annual retelling of the Great Turkey Drop of 1978!

[Mr. Carlson:]

As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!

[A bedraggled and feathered Mr. Carlson and Herb come out of his office to join the rest of the studio staff who have gathered around for the harrowing tale…]

[Les Nessman:]

I really don't know how to describe it. It was like the turkeys mounted a counter-attack.
… It was almost as if they were... organized!

[an undetermined amount of time later, back at the studio. A dazed and feathered Les Nessman returns with a hundred yard stare.]

Venus Flytrap: Les! Are you okay?

Les Nessman: I don't know…

A man and his two children tried to kill me. After the turkeys hit the pavement, the crowd kind of scattered but, some of them tried to attack me! I tried to jam myself into a phone booth….
Then Mr. Carlson had the helicopter land in the middle of the parking lot.

I guess he thought he could save the day by turning the rest of the turkeys loose.

It gets pretty strange after that.

[Meanwhile, back at the studio with Dr. Johnny Fever:]
Les? Les? Les, are you there? Les isn't there.
Thanks for that on-the-spot report, Les.

For those of you who've just tuned in, the Pinedale Shopping Mall has just been bombed with live turkeys. Film at eleven. #WKRP #LesNessman

People are running about. The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement!

Folks, I don't know how much longer... The crowd is running for their lives. I think I'm going to step inside. I can't stand here and watch this anymore. No, I can't go in there. Children are searching for their mothers and oh, not since the Hindenburg tragedy has there been anything like this. I don't know how much longer I can hold my position here, Johnny. The crowd...

Oh my God! They're turkeys! Oh no! Johnny can you get this? Oh, they're crashing to the earth right in front of our eyes! One just went through the windshield of a parked car! This is terrible! Everyone's running around pushing each other.
Oh my goodness!
Oh, the humanity! #WKRP #LesNessman
The 'copter seems to circling the parking area now. I guess it's looking for a place to land. No! Something just came out of the back of a helicopter. It's a dark object, perhaps a skydiver plummeting to the earth from only two thousand feet in the air... There's a third... No parachutes yet... Those can't be skydivers. I can't tell just yet what they are but...
#WKRP #LesNessman
It's flying something behind it and I can't quite make it out. It's a large banner and it says H a p p y... T h a n k s... giving... from W... K... R... P! What a sight, ladies and gentlemen. What a sight.
