Missions of the Retrieval Team - A Kilt By Any Other Name

Hmmmm.....if I've been shot in the last two stories and things are different in this world, I might just have a chance here.

Oh, I have plans for you.

Just noticed Dave's signature line. If I lose something valuable I know who to call and other ways to contact him.

I was wondering when someone would say something.

Commercial Break

Inside an apartment

We see a tall bearded man, who is wearing a kilt and a nice dress shirt, standing in the middle of the room.

He points a remote control towards a stereo. “Music,” he says as he presses a button. Soft, romantic music begins to play.

He turns and points the remote again. “Fireplace,” he says and presses again. A fire springs up in the fireplace.

Turning again, he presses another button. “Temperature.” We see a see the movement of a plant as the air starts to flow.

“Lights,” he says, as he presses a button and the lights dim.

“Champagne,” he says and points the remote. A small door opens and we see a bottle of chilled champagne sitting in a bucket.

The man turns towards the audience and holds up the remote. “Do you know what this is?” he asks. “This is the Freelander 2000 Universal Remote. With this I can control everything in my house with a simple touch of a button.”

He walks over to the champagne, picks up the bottle, and removes the cork.

“The Freelander 2000 comes in real handy. I don’t have to keep a bunch of different remotes around to get mixed up. And I can control everything no matter where I am in my home.”

“By having everything at my fingertips, I save so much time that I have plenty of time to read, listen to music …”

He picks up two tulip glasses and pours the champagne into them. Just then the doorbell rings.

“Or to entertain a special guest,” he says smiling.

He carries the glasses with him as he goes to answer the door. He opens the door and we see two beautiful women wearing form-fitting dresses standing there. They smile widely when they see him. He hands each of them a glass and turns back to the audience.

“Or guests,” he says and winks.
