I’m George Bartley… now let’s have some fun.

It’s after hours at the Metropolitan Museum of Toys and Childhood Artifacts—
the place where the lights go low,
the cameras blink like sleepy fireflies,
and the toys… well.

The toys finally have time to talk.

[SFX: KEY RING JINGLE. A DOOR SOFTLY CLICKS SHUT.]

NIGHT WATCHMAN (EASY, FRIENDLY):
Evening, everybody.
All right… let’s see what kind of trouble you’re in tonight.

[SFX: FOOTSTEPS SLOW. THEN STOP.]
