"Oh, we can be ready!" Father Vidicon glanced at the clock. "Thursday, 4:00 P.M. We need an
hour. Anytime after that, Monsignor."

"Bless you!" the Monsignor turned away. "I'll tell His Holiness."

And Reverend Sun's coming right behind us, live from the U.N."

Father Vidicon and Brother Anson were on their knees, hands clasped. Father Vidicon intoned,
"Saint Clare, patron of television тАж"

"тАж pray for us," finished Brother Anson.

"Saint Genesius, patron of showfolkтАж"

"тАж pray for us," murmured Brother Anson.

"Rolling and recording," responded the recording engineer.

"Saint Jude, patron of lost causes тАж"

"тАж pray for us," murmured Brother Anson.

"Slate it!" Then, "Bars and tone!"

They could hear the thousand-cycle test tone in the background, whining. Then it began beeping at
one-second intervals.

"Ready mike and cue, ready up on one!"

"Five!" called the assistant director. "Four! Three!"

"Black! Clip tone!" the Monsignor cried. "Mike him! Cue him! Up on One!"
