Ocious P. Potter:

Town Hall Clerk:
I'm waiting.

Ocious P. Potter:
[impatiently] So am I. Where is it?

Town Hall Clerk:
Up the stairs, take a right at the top.

[Potter leaves]

Town Hall Clerk:
[stops him] Straight on through the door, climb four flights. I imagine at this point, you'll have a catch your breath. Scuttle up two more flights, bear left, and turn right at Sewage. You will then see a door in front of you. Do not go through the door, instead go through the door on your right. And you will see a fire escape in front of you.

Town Hall Clerk:
[sarcastically enunciates] Walk... quickly.
