EXTRA, EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT, THE SAME STORY EVERY DAY
55 YEARS OF THE SAME FRONT PAGE,
CAPTAIN ORDINARY PAVES THE WAY
BY BEING THE HERO ALL THE TOWNSFOLK NEED
AND HERE’S WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY:

TOWNSFOLK 1
Last week Captain Ordinary walked my dog for me when I was home sick in bed; he truly is a canine outta ten!

TOWNSFOLK 2
Captain Ordinary always helped me cross the street! Even when I didn’t need to cross the street… and when I told him I didn’t need to cross the street, he helped me cross BACK across the street!

TOWNSFOLK 3
I literally don’t even look before I cross the street anymore! That’s how safe we are!

BILLY
I don't know what this town would be without him.

ANNIE
EXTRA, EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT, YEAH I’M TALKING TO YOU-
IT’S AN HISTORICAL OCCASION HERE IN PLAINSVILLE TODAY- WE HAD A REASON TO PRINT A PAGE TWO- IT’S TRUE!
OUR VERY OWN HENRY HARVEY SENIOR HAS DIED
BUT HIS LEGACY LIVES ON
BY BEING THE FRIEND ALL THE TOWNSFOLK NEED
WHAT WOULD THEY LIKE TO SAY NOW THAT HE’S GONE?

TOWNSFOLK 1
Henry would always bring me magazines and cough syrup when I was feeling sick. How he was always able to check up on me, I'll never know. It was so lovely having a friend looking out for me...

TOWNSFOLK 2
Henry Harvey was a member of every town group and organization, including the PTA, the 4H Club, and the MAGFADD, you know, mothers and grandfathers against drunk driving.

TOWNSFOLK 3
I go to “For Your Convenience” every day after school. Mr. Harvey always saved the last pack of bubble gum just for me! I’m going to miss him so much.

HENRY
I don’t know what this town is going to do without him.

ANNIE
HE WILL BE MISSED
HE LEAVES A HOLE IN OUR COMMUNITY
HE WAS JUST LIKE OUR CAPTAIN ORDINARY IN OH SO MANY WAYS

TAKE COMFORT IN THIS- THAT EVEN THOUGH
HENRY HARVEY HAS MOVED ON
ORDINARY TAUGHT US ALL HOW TO BE STRONG- COME TO THINK OF IT NOW HENRY DID TOO!

TOWNSFOLK
NEVER SEEN EM IN THE SAME ROOM AT THE SAME TIME
BUT I’M UNEQUIVOCALLY CONVINCED THEY COULDN’T POSSIBLY BE THE SAME GUY!

ALL
YES THEY’RE TWO INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE
COULDN’T POSSIBLY BE ONE AND THE SAME
DEFINITELY TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE,
UNDENIABLY TWO SEPARATE PEOPLE,
TOTALLY, WHY CAN’T YOU SEE THEY’RE TWO UNIQUE PEOPLE

IF THERE’S EVER TROUBLE
OUR HERO’S THERE AND ON THE DOUBLE.

SIMILAR, BUT NOT THAT MUCH
THOUGHT THEY WERE THE SAME BUT WE MISJUDGED
DEFINITELY NOT THE SAME GUY!
