Forum:Galaxy news radio Dashwood transscript

I want to add a transscript of the radio show "The adventures of Herbert "daring" Dashwood", but the page keeps messing up the text. Can someone help me with this?


 * I've fixed it for you. Copying directly from Word documents isn't recommended as these usually contain long hidden HTML notations, so best to type it in the editor. Edit often :)! Mark  ( talk ) 20:21, May 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * (editconflict) The problem is that Word documents are evil aren't meant to be copied straight to a website. The indenting in Word translates to preformated text in MediaWiki. Multiple linebreaks also look bad. Putting the text inside  tags makes it a little simpler though.  20:34, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

Here is the text:

Part 1: Escape From Paradise Falls Dashwood: (Theme music) You're listening to the adventures of me, Herbert "Daring" Dashwood, and my stalwart Ghoul manservant, Argyle. Today’s episode: escape from Paradise Falls. Argyle: So little fate, boss. I could disarm this slaver junk with my eyes closed. One second. (sound of slave collar being unlocked) There! Now for yours. Stand still. (sound of a second collar being unlocked) Dashwood: Argyle, you magnificent bastard, you did it! Argyle: Don’t thank me yet, boss. We still gotta get out of here. Let’s go, while the guard’s away from the front gate. Dashwood: Not so fast, my flesh-rotten friend. That girl we came in with, we’re the only chance she’s got! Come on! Argyle: *sigh* Always with the dames… (sound of running footsteps) Dashwood: All right, she’s locked in there. They call it “the box”. First we need to remove that guard. Argyle: Allow me. (footsteps) Hey, fella, got a light? (surprised grunt from the guard) Lotus… KICK! HYEE! (sound of a kick) Dashwood: Hahaa! Now the door. Argyle: Child’s play, boss. (sound of Fallout shelter door being opened) Okay, lady, you’re rescued. Now let’s get out of - wha? Boss, it’s empty. (sound of gun being cocked) Slaver: Hands up, chumps. Nobody escapes from Paradise Falls. Now let’s move back to the pen nice and slow, before – (sound of gun being cocked) Penelope: Drop the steel, you slaver scumbag! (hard metal clang, then a thud) You boys all right? I busted out of that box and was almost home free when I noticed your predicament. Argyle: Wait a minute! We do the rescuing around here, sister! Dashwood: Now, now, Argyle, no need to be hasty. We owe this lady our thanks, miss…? Penelope: Penelope Chase, fortune hunter. You can buy me a beer later. Now let’s cut this shandik short and get the bloody hell out of here. Come on. Dashwood: Argyle, old friend, I think I’m in love! Dashwood: (Theme music) Be sure and tune in next time for another exiting adventure of me, Herbert “Daring” Dashwood and my stalwart Ghoul manservant Argyle!

Part 2: Super Mutant Mayhem Dashwood: (Theme music) You’re listening to the adventures of me, Herbert “Daring” Dashwood, and my stalwart Ghoul manservant Argyle. Today’s episode: Super Mutant Mayhem. Argyle: (gunshots) Heh. That’ll teach those Slaver slimebags to follow us. Looks like that’s the last of them, boss. (footsteps) Dashwood: So, miss Chase, how did you come to be, eh, held up in Paradise Falls? Penelope: My friends call me Penelope. And let’s just say those slavers don’t take too kindly to people disrupting their caravans. And by “disrupt”, I mean “blow up”. Dashwood: Ha! Now that’s what this wasteland needs: some women with spunk and explosives! So tell me, Penelope, what’s the next stop on – Super Mutant: Stupid human! Shut up now! (shotgun being cocked) You come with us now! Argyle: Super Mutants! Penelope: Out of the frying pan… Dashwood: Now see here, you hulking horrors. This young lady has been through quite enough for one day! Holster your weapon or – Penelope: Why is your Ghoul friend picking their pockets? This is no time for sticky fingers, Daring. Dashwood: It’s not what he’s taking out, my dear, but what he’s putting in! Duck and coveeeeeeer! (explosion) Argyle: Heh heh. The old Shady Sands Shuffle. It sure brings me back. You two smoothskins okay? Penelope: My, my, Argyle, you are rather resourceful for a Ghoul, aren’t you? Dashwood: Are you kidding, my dear? Argyle has saved my skin more times than I care to remember. I hardly know how I got by before I met him. Argyle: With all due respect, boss… you didn’t. If you remember, it was me who got you out of that little “situation” in – Dashwood: Ah, now, Argyle, old chum, let’s not, eh, bore the beautiful miss Chase with those ancient exploits. Penelope: Oh, I don’t know, Daring. For example, that name of yours. I happen to like “Herbert”. Why the – (girl screaming) Argyle: Boss! That sounded like a kid screaming! And it’s coming from those ruins! Dashwood: Quite right, old chum! Save those questions, miss Chase. If we survive what happens next I may even answer them. Dashwood: Be sure and tune in next time for another exiting adventure of me, Herbert “Daring” Dashwood and my stalwart Ghoul manservant Argyle!

Part 3: In the Black Widow’s web Dashwood: You’re listening to the adventures of me, Herbert “Daring” Dashwood, and my stalwart Ghoul manservant Argyle. Today’s episode: In the Black Widow’s web. Dashwood: (machine gunfire) Well, those Super Mutants are persistent, if nothing else. Word of advise: keep running! Penelope: In those hills up there. Isn’t that where the hidden village of Rockopolis is located? If only we knew where it was… Dashwood: Turns out you’re in good company, miss Chase! Argyle and I are old friends of Rockopolis, know the secret knock and everything! Argyle: Boss! That’s privileged information! You can’t just – Dashwood: Now, now, old chum, miss Chase is hardly going to violate the secrets of Rockopolis, isn’t that right, miss Chase? Besides, necessity calls! Penelope: So you do know where it is. Well come on then, those Super Mutants can’t be far behind. Dashwood: Just over here. This large boulder. And now the secret knock. [knocking] And, voila! (sliding stone) Penelope: Now that’s what I call a getaway, Daring. So tell me, do you take all your girlfriends here? Dashwood: Oh, no, miss Chase, I can assure you this will be our special place. Argyle: Listen to yourself, boss! This is Rockopolis, one of the safest places in the Wasteland, and you just showed a stranger where it is! Dashwood: Ignore my manservant’s mutterings, Penelope. He has a penchant for the dramatic, you see. Why, one time – Penelope: Oh, I don’t know, Daring darling. I find the Ghoul’s instincts to be… frighteningly accurate. Dashwood: Here I thought we were friends. And now you have a gun in my face. Bad form, miss Chase, bad form. Penelope: Jabber all you want. In about thirty seconds my associates from Paradise Falls will join us. Argyle: I knew it! I knew this dame was no good, but it’s worse than I thought: she’s the Black Widow, the leader of the Slavers! Penelope: Quite right. We’ve been trying to capture these Rockopolis rodents for years. Never could have done it without you, Daring. Dashwood: Looks like I’ve gotten us in one heck of a pickle, Argyle, old chum. One heck of a pickle indeed! Dashwood: Be sure and tune in next time for another exiting adventure of me, Herbert “Daring” Dashwood and my stalwart Ghoul manservant Argyle!

I mean, there ain’t nothing funny about THE EAGLE CLAAAAW!!! (Penelope screams) Dashwood: Good god, Argyle, you, you ripped out her heart! Argyle: Eh, I always knew this broad was heartless. Get it boss, heh heh, heartless? Dashwood: Your Kung-Fu skills may be unparalleled, old chum, but your comic delivery leaves something to be desired. King Crag: What is the meaning of this? Dashwood: Oh, magnificent king Crag! Fearless leader of Rockopolis, it’s me, Daring! … Daring Dashwood? King Crag: Herbert Dashwood? (groans) I should have known! But who is this… this… dead woman. And, is that her… heart!? Argyle: She’s the least of your worries, Craggy. In a few seconds, the slavers are gonna be breaking down your rocky front door! King Crag: Slavers!? You led the slavers HERE, to Rockopolis!? You idiots, do you realize what you’ve done!? Dashwood: Inspired you to tighten your defenses? King Crag: DASHWOOOOOOD!! Argyle: Our welcome’s over, boss, time to scram! King Crag: Citizens of Rockopolis, destroy these interlopers. Dashwood: This way, Argyle, into the caves, it’s our only chance! (running footsteps) Argyle: They’re gaining on us, boss. That cliff up ahead, you think you can jump it? You ain’t as spry as you used to be. Dashwood: Child’s play, you withering worry-wood. Watch this! (Dashwood screams) Argyle: Boss, don’t worry, I’m coming! Dashwood: Best hurry, old chum, I can’t hang on… much… longer. I… think this could be the end of – Dashwood: Be sure and tune in next time for another exiting adventure of me, Herbert “Daring” Dashwood and my stalwart Ghoul manservant Argyle!

This was actually neatly done in a Word document, but somehow the Wiki completely screws up the layout. Please help.
