Quote context

- But they keep coming. Even though the current carries many of them away, they're advancing.

- Ah, we'll fix them. Blath? How 'bout those shovels and petrol sprinklers... you passed them out to the men?

- It has been done.

- Then get all hands here in a hurry! This looks like the spot for action!

- Commissioner? Beginning to see what I was talking about?

- Too bad I'm not running their campaign for them.

- All right, men! Busy with the shovels now! Dump some sand and clods on 'em! See how they like that!

- You, with the petrol sprinklers! Start pumping!

- They don't like it, Commissioner! They don't like it a bit! Look at 'em!

- Yes. But look at the ones on the far side of the ditch... whole clumps of them rolling into the water. The rest are using them for bridges.
