What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNewsday has a food crawl in Greenport, folks, with oysters, ramen and small-town cooking, and BBN has three reporters on the ground, a live map, and a very tense dock.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThree reporters, for a walk where people eat lunch.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorVera, this is a developing situation.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe oysters are on the table, the ramen is nearby, and nobody on that street has ever been this busy.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe oyster's on ice, totally calm, and I assume its statement is, no comment, I'm in the middle of something.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWe'll get a producer on that oyster immediately.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorGive it a lemon. That's the only statement it's getting.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorRex, I've got three reporters and one oyster, and you still can't get a quote out of a mascot.
