I wonder if this reporter would tell the truth. Yes, we will. But first is that *** pumpkin cookie? No, they're oatmeal cookies and they're good. But *** no good, no mercy crime has been committed October on Atwood Street and *** 100 pound pumpkin is missing from the hair salon's front porch. We have your pumpkin. Do not call the police. If you do, we will kill him. Let your conscience be your guy. PP sign Pepe could be Peter Peter or maybe this guy. What are you doing then? Who did, who would snatch *** giant gourd meant for *** guess. It's wake contest destined for *** school kids celebration? No, I haven't seen it but I heard somebody saw it on the subway. I think uh do is having pumpkin pie for dessert today. There are clues. We all share the pumpkin seeds today and more ransom notes. That's the pumpkin with ***, looks like *** clock and something taped to it. It looks like *** bomb taped to it like they're threatening to blow it up if we do anything that they don't want us to do. But no response yet to the offers of reward. The guess work goes on publicity. Then wait *** minute. Did you hear what that guy just said? You don't think and cut?
