I’m the finger down your spine when all the lights are out. I’m the name on all the men’s room walls. When I pout, the whole world tries to make me smile. And everyone always wants to know, who… is… that girl?

Hello L.A., you’re up way past your bed time, aren’t you? Hope you’ve slipped into something comfortable, I know I have. If you’re new to town or just new to this whole radio thing, you’re listening to _The Deb of Night_, the only girl who will spend the night with you and leave first thing in the morning, guaranteed. Well, looks like the boards are lighting up! Am I the popular one. Lets see… eenie, meenie, miney, moe, who will be the lucky… Caller! You’ve got the first shot at Deb tonight. So, who do I have the pleasure of speaking to?

Shun the lips, and beware the tongue, for lips and tongue can twist truth into lies. I am a child of Karras, and no lips or tongue have I.

Okay, okay, so this guy, he’s…well he’s like a…an FBI agent, but, y’know, he doesn’t really work for the main FBI. And, uh, he’s got this partner who’s new and really cute, but she’s also a really good agent. And they’re, like, assigned to this bizarre case where people are being killed in really strange ways. And then, like, something happens, and the girl agent gets kidnapped by the killer…yeah, well, I haven’t quite figured it out yet, but like, the guy agent notices, like, how the killer seems to know everything he’s doing, like, one step ahead of him. And then there’s this kind of…you know, weird chase scene, and then, like, we find out that the guy’s got two personalities. And, like, he finds out in the end that he’s the killer! And that he’s kidnapped his own partner!

The moon is out, everyone’s in dreamland, and you’ve tuned in to The Deb of Night. Nobody to fall asleep next to? Go ahead and pull the radio into bed. That’s what I’m here for. And hey, why don’t you call me some time? Area code 323, KL5-KTRK. Looks like somebody’s been waiting in the queue quite awhile to speak to yours truly. So caller, why aren’t you asleep?

Deb’s back, and she’s got a fresh cup of coffee ready to take it into the AM. In case you don’t know it, you’re tuned in to The Deb of Night on KTRK. I’m your lovely hostess, feel free to fantasize about me all you want. But please, don’t send any more drawings. The lines are all full, so why don’t I provide some release? Line three, you’re speaking to me. And what have you been up to tonight, caller?

Still awake? Something on your mind? Give me a call: 323-KL5-KTRK. Ask to speak to the cute one. Hey, all you night owls! Is the human race going crazy or is it just me? Seems like all you hear is bad news lately. Anybody feel the same way? Feel like the world’s cracking at the seams? Why don’t we make that the topic for tonight? And if that doesn’t work, you can all go back to calling in with the usual pervert stuff. Line five, you’re on with The Deb of Night. So tell me, is society going to hell or not?
