Susan is so "at cause", chanting "What are your CRIMES?" as if it's a mantra for warding off evil spirits. The "evil SP" picketers, however, are not affected by such superstition.
John repeatedly asks wynot what he has done, why he is here, and what he is hiding, pausing only for a moment to say "Hello! to the videocamera, and then he continues to harass wynot.
Mad Cow asks Susan "Who's in charge?" Susan only thinks she has the answer when she says: "Stacy Young, she's your little beekeeper." Susan gets some mug shots of the videocamera to send uplines.
John sticks to wynot like a Body Thetan, continuing to harass him, accusing him of various sensationalist CRIMES.
John has called wynot a child molester now. Wynot asks ethercat to call the police, and when she tells him she already has, John thanks them and goes inside. Wynot mentions that John bumped him on the picketline.
Within a few minutes, John returns to harass wynot. Mad Cow likens his repeated questioning to insect noise. John: "Picketing a church is a Bad Thing. Bad, Tony, Bad."
Police arrive. Mr. Prune comes to distract ethercat from talking to the police and ask about her CRIMES. She asks him to leave her alone, but he continues to harass her, as the police talk to the scienos.
Mr. Prune harasses ethercat while the police talk to the scienos, obviously assuming they will do nothing.
Apparently speaking for both, one of the two policemen makes his statement on the matter.
Police leave, but are watching from across the street for several minutes. Mr. Prune attempts to prevent ethercat and wynot from picketing by standing in the middle of the sidewalk, but they are unthawarted. Good shots from the point of view of a picketer, surrounded by scienos.
Ethercat asks John to leave her alone and he ignores her. Mad Cow tells him to leave her alone, threatening to call the police again, but only moments pass before John is harassing ethercat again. Mad Cow mentions that this will all be on the internet.
Scientologists aren't paranoid, are they?
Mr. Prune admires Mad Cow's telescoping sign, and they discuss the finer points of sign tech.
Mr. and Mrs. Prune are captivated with Mad Cow's vast knowledge of scientology. Interesting look at the way scientologists try to twist one's words, and therefore have the most trouble following simple logic.
The event was supposed to start at 7:30, but Susan would rather berate picketers than attend. A little girl comes out and tugs at her hand. The scientologists return to the building, with one exception - a local sneaking a peek at the SPs, and sporting the priceless "Travolta Look".
