"Oh my god!" cried the receptionist "What do you think you're doing? Can't you wait to go home?"

"Hey I said I had important things to do," snapped Lava Man "And this happens to be one of those things, now if you'll kindly let me go back to myself," And he did.

The receptionist, for the point of this paragraph did become the new main character, and our new protagonist, whose name was Sue grabbed the telephone and dialled for the police.

"Afternoon," said a voice on other line "Gotham police, fifteenth pile of smoldering rubble on York Street, how can I help you?"

"I've got Lava Man," said Sue in a highly strung voice.

"Heard it before," said the policeman on the other side whose name was either Dave or Craig.

"No, you don't understand," quivered Sue "He's pulled it out and he's touching it,"

"Good lord," said Policeman Dave or Craig "Sort out your own problems lady," and he hung up.

"Now what?" asked Sue "Wait, didn't a similar thing happen on an episode of Seinfeld? I wonder how they sorted it out,"

2. Elaine realises her boyfriend has a strange habit she doesn't like.
3. George has to cover up for a lie he made earlier.
4. Kramer does something silly like, I don't know, set up a cat shaving clinic.
5. Or all of the above.
