1
00:00:00,127 --> 00:00:01,111
Come back here!
2
00:00:05,073 --> 00:00:07,034
We were cleaned out.
We've been hit.
3
00:00:07,242 --> 00:00:08,702
Nobody hits a lady.
4
00:00:09,620 --> 00:00:11,205
Anybody got your rent?
5
00:00:11,413 --> 00:00:13,290
Have you ever thought about
trying to buy the place?
6
00:00:13,499 --> 00:00:14,875
Why don't you go back to work?
7
00:00:20,839 --> 00:00:23,967
It wasn't my fault.
Some jerk put the beer--
8
00:00:24,051 --> 00:00:25,177
In the aisle.
9
00:01:59,846 --> 00:02:01,690
Somebody once
described great art
10
00:02:01,773 --> 00:02:03,775
as "an improvement
on perfection."
11
00:02:03,984 --> 00:02:07,529
I can't remember
if it was Picasso or Higgins.
12
00:02:07,613 --> 00:02:11,116
I felt the satisfaction of the
artist with my improvement
13
00:02:11,325 --> 00:02:13,660
on the simple perfection
of the beer can.
14
00:02:13,744 --> 00:02:16,079
This wasn't just a
stack of cheap six-packs.
15
00:02:16,204 --> 00:02:21,084
Here we had A study in Day-N-Dark
Extra Light by T. Magnum,
16
00:02:21,209 --> 00:02:22,586
signed and dated.
17
00:02:22,669 --> 00:02:25,130
Magnum, that'll last
about 10 minutes.
18
00:02:25,631 --> 00:02:27,716
You've got the beer
curving out into the aisle
19
00:02:27,841 --> 00:02:30,218
where some klutz
is bound to knock it over.
20
00:02:30,302 --> 00:02:33,096
Look, Magnum, if you must
play at being an employee,
21
00:02:33,221 --> 00:02:34,973
at least try to be convincing.
22
00:02:35,057 --> 00:02:37,893
Okay, fine, so you don't
like me being here, fine,
23
00:02:38,018 --> 00:02:39,811
but don't blow my cover.
24
00:02:39,936 --> 00:02:41,688
I'm doing my best to look legit.
25
00:02:41,813 --> 00:02:44,858
Legit Day-N-Dark employees
do not waste their time
26
00:02:44,941 --> 00:02:47,402
trying to make beer cans
look like Rodin.
27
00:02:47,527 --> 00:02:50,072
Rodin? You really think
it's that good?
28
00:02:50,322 --> 00:02:51,865
I really think
29
00:02:51,948 --> 00:02:54,368
that I am really upset
that our corporate brains
30
00:02:54,451 --> 00:02:57,704
chose to put a beach boy turned
private eye into my store.
31
00:02:57,788 --> 00:02:59,790
- Now, hold on. I am--
- That I cannot change.
32
00:02:59,873 --> 00:03:01,375
But, I can remind you
33
00:03:01,458 --> 00:03:03,710
that you were not commissioned
to do a sculpture,
34
00:03:03,794 --> 00:03:06,463
you were hired to investigate
the robberies.
35
00:03:06,588 --> 00:03:08,757
So, investigate.
36
00:03:18,016 --> 00:03:21,561
It wasn't my fault.
Some jerk put the beer--
37
00:03:21,645 --> 00:03:23,146
In the aisle.
38
00:03:23,271 --> 00:03:25,148
Yes, I know.
39
00:03:25,899 --> 00:03:29,486
Get the mop, Magnum.
Your sculpture's leaking.
40
00:03:31,071 --> 00:03:33,490
I want a strawberry cup-a-dream.
41
00:03:34,282 --> 00:03:35,659
Please.
42
00:03:36,284 --> 00:03:37,494
Please.
43
00:03:49,756 --> 00:03:51,383
And some more quarters.
44
00:04:03,979 --> 00:04:05,063
Have a nice day.
45
00:04:05,647 --> 00:04:06,982
No, wait!
46
00:04:07,107 --> 00:04:09,276
Come back with my quarters.
47
00:04:13,363 --> 00:04:14,364
Come back here!
48
00:04:17,325 --> 00:04:18,535
Jeanie, look what you're doing.
49
00:04:18,869 --> 00:04:20,120
What's he doing?
50
00:04:29,755 --> 00:04:31,423
Are you all right?
Anybody hurt?
51
00:04:31,673 --> 00:04:33,925
Oh, no, no. We're fine.
52
00:04:34,676 --> 00:04:36,678
What have they
done to my display?
53
00:04:36,803 --> 00:04:40,390
Oh, it's not their fault. It's the
kid and that guy in the Street Rod.
54
00:04:40,599 --> 00:04:43,059
Are you ladies all right?
Should I call an ambulance?
55
00:04:43,185 --> 00:04:44,811
Oh, no. No, we're all right.
56
00:04:44,895 --> 00:04:46,938
I'm awfully sorry.
I meant to hit the brake.
57
00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:50,400
- You're getting all wet.
- Oh, well...
58
00:04:50,484 --> 00:04:52,903
Look, if you'll take care of the ladies,
I'll go call the police.
59
00:04:53,111 --> 00:04:54,321
Police?
60
00:04:54,404 --> 00:04:57,699
Nobody is going anywhere, until I
find out who's responsible for this.
61
00:04:57,783 --> 00:05:01,745
- I told you, the guy with the--
- We are taking the total responsibility.
62
00:05:01,828 --> 00:05:03,997
Oh, you don't have to do that.
It's not your fault.
63
00:05:04,122 --> 00:05:05,582
Did you get a license number?
64
00:05:05,665 --> 00:05:07,417
- No, the guy peeled out of here
- Oh!
65
00:05:07,542 --> 00:05:08,835
Look, Miss Wilcox,
66
00:05:08,919 --> 00:05:12,631
it was a 1969 Camaro
Street Rod, electric blue.
67
00:05:12,798 --> 00:05:14,466
Now, how many of those
are there on the island?
68
00:05:14,549 --> 00:05:16,510
No, wait. I think the car
was green.
69
00:05:16,676 --> 00:05:17,844
Yes, I'm sure of it.
70
00:05:18,053 --> 00:05:20,055
Teal would be
more precise, Madge.
71
00:05:20,263 --> 00:05:21,640
No, it was blue.
72
00:05:21,723 --> 00:05:23,433
That-that loud
glow-in-the-dark paint.
73
00:05:23,517 --> 00:05:26,520
I think it just looked blue
in the sunlight.
74
00:05:26,853 --> 00:05:28,647
Teal has a funny way of--
75
00:05:28,897 --> 00:05:30,148
Name?
76
00:05:30,315 --> 00:05:31,775
What are you doing?
77
00:05:31,942 --> 00:05:34,986
I have to fill out a report
for Day-N-Dark. It's procedure.
78
00:05:35,195 --> 00:05:36,238
Procedure?
79
00:05:36,321 --> 00:05:38,323
Miss Wilcox, we're
getting drenched out here.
80
00:05:38,573 --> 00:05:40,450
- LaSalle.
- What?
81
00:05:40,992 --> 00:05:43,578
LaSalle. Our name.
82
00:05:43,787 --> 00:05:46,665
- Capital L-A-
- I know how to spell it.
83
00:05:46,873 --> 00:05:49,584
Miss Wilcox, you take care
of the really important stuff.
84
00:05:49,668 --> 00:05:52,504
I'm gonna call the water department
and get that thing shut off,
85
00:05:52,587 --> 00:05:55,382
then I'm gonna call the police
before the guy in the Camaro--
86
00:05:55,465 --> 00:05:59,219
Are you sure it was a Camaro?
All these cars look so much alike.
87
00:05:59,427 --> 00:06:01,847
- I'm sure.
- Of course, you're sure.
88
00:06:02,013 --> 00:06:04,891
But it doesn't really matter because
we're taking total responsibility
89
00:06:05,016 --> 00:06:06,309
for all of the damages.
90
00:06:06,393 --> 00:06:08,270
Good.
Name of insurance company?
91
00:06:08,436 --> 00:06:12,858
Do you think you could call us a taxi?
I think the engine's flooded.
92
00:06:18,196 --> 00:06:20,240
Look, don't you worry
about a thing.
93
00:06:20,365 --> 00:06:23,827
I'm going to personally see to it that
we find that guy with the Street Rod.
94
00:06:24,035 --> 00:06:25,203
Oh, no, no.
95
00:06:25,287 --> 00:06:27,497
Now, we've decided
that we're not really sure
96
00:06:27,622 --> 00:06:29,541
about the make of the car,
97
00:06:29,624 --> 00:06:33,420
and, besides, we don't want to
get involved with anything awkward.
98
00:06:33,545 --> 00:06:34,963
But it wasn't your fault
99
00:06:35,130 --> 00:06:37,382
and you don't have to get involved.
I'll be discreet.
100
00:06:37,465 --> 00:06:39,259
See, I'm a private investigator.
101
00:06:39,843 --> 00:06:41,720
- Bless your heart.
- What?
102
00:06:41,845 --> 00:06:43,763
Don't give up your dreams.
103
00:06:43,847 --> 00:06:47,559
Madge wanted to be a ballerina,
I wanted to be a pilot.
104
00:06:47,642 --> 00:06:51,605
You want to be a private investigator,
be a private investigator.
105
00:06:51,688 --> 00:06:55,191
No, no, no. Listen,
19 of those Day-N-Dark stores
106
00:06:55,317 --> 00:06:56,902
have been robbed in
the last three months.
107
00:06:56,985 --> 00:06:58,987
No M.O., no clues, no nothing.
108
00:06:59,070 --> 00:07:01,281
They just turn around,
and the money is gone.
109
00:07:01,489 --> 00:07:03,366
So I'm there to investigate.
110
00:07:03,491 --> 00:07:05,702
That's what investigators do,
you understand?
111
00:07:05,785 --> 00:07:06,912
Of course.
112
00:07:07,704 --> 00:07:10,373
Only don't let it interfere
with your job.
113
00:07:16,087 --> 00:07:17,589
Well...
114
00:07:20,533 --> 00:07:23,470
This is it.
It's quite a mess.
115
00:07:23,595 --> 00:07:27,349
But, then, old troupers
are used to roughing it.
116
00:07:27,474 --> 00:07:28,475
Troupers?
117
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,395
Nearly all of us here were
in the business. Entertainers.
118
00:07:32,604 --> 00:07:34,940
Jeanie and I were
actresses for a while.
119
00:07:35,023 --> 00:07:36,733
Can't you come in for a minute?
120
00:07:36,858 --> 00:07:39,486
- Oh, no, I've got to get back.
- Oh, just for five minutes?
121
00:07:39,611 --> 00:07:40,862
For milk and cookies?
122
00:07:40,946 --> 00:07:43,907
We'd love to give you
something for bringing us home.
123
00:07:44,032 --> 00:07:45,951
Well, five minutes.
124
00:07:56,544 --> 00:07:58,254
Hello, everybody.
125
00:07:58,338 --> 00:08:00,465
Jeanie, did you get him?
126
00:08:00,757 --> 00:08:02,050
Yes.
127
00:08:02,342 --> 00:08:06,179
Johnny, at least you could
comment on our news.
128
00:08:06,262 --> 00:08:09,432
- We wrecked the car.
- Okay. Okay.
129
00:08:11,184 --> 00:08:14,062
Oh, Herman, here's your music.
130
00:08:21,319 --> 00:08:24,906
I got Larry Parrish.
That's the whole team.
131
00:08:26,449 --> 00:08:28,785
- Texas Ranger fan?
- Parrish.
132
00:08:28,910 --> 00:08:31,287
I've been trying to get
this card for months.
133
00:08:31,371 --> 00:08:34,332
It's too bad we didn't meet sooner.
I've got two Parrishes.
134
00:08:34,457 --> 00:08:35,875
You got any Tigers up for trade?
135
00:08:36,084 --> 00:08:38,628
Are you kidding?
Who collects Detroit?
136
00:08:38,795 --> 00:08:40,505
Wait a minute.
I collect Detroit.
137
00:08:40,714 --> 00:08:42,590
Then you got a problem.
138
00:08:45,135 --> 00:08:47,721
All right.
I'll save you my Detroit stuff.
139
00:08:47,804 --> 00:08:49,305
Thanks.
140
00:08:49,556 --> 00:08:52,392
How can they get the nerve to
call this "The Game of the Week"?
141
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,394
Seattle versus Minnesota.
142
00:08:54,477 --> 00:08:57,188
Dull, but never mind.
143
00:08:57,272 --> 00:08:59,357
My kid's sending me the money
to get cable.
144
00:08:59,733 --> 00:09:02,861
Oh, Johnny, it came.
145
00:09:03,820 --> 00:09:06,948
- The money from your son.
- Really?
146
00:09:07,157 --> 00:09:09,284
I don't suppose
he sent you your rent?
147
00:09:15,748 --> 00:09:17,625
Anybody got your rent?
148
00:09:17,792 --> 00:09:19,502
Rent money?
149
00:09:20,545 --> 00:09:23,381
Just one of you.
It'll make my day.
150
00:09:28,261 --> 00:09:31,097
Oh, no. Mr. Cole, please.
151
00:09:33,058 --> 00:09:35,101
This is right on half a month,
Johnny.
152
00:09:35,310 --> 00:09:36,728
You're still a month
and a half behind
153
00:09:36,811 --> 00:09:38,396
and he's the closest
to being paid up.
154
00:09:38,605 --> 00:09:41,232
- I guess you're the landlord?
- No, I'm not the landlord.
155
00:09:41,441 --> 00:09:43,526
I'm Harvey Cole,
the agent for the owners.
156
00:09:43,735 --> 00:09:46,279
Who are trying to sell this
place right out from under us.
157
00:09:46,404 --> 00:09:48,031
They're not even gonna
carry you that long.
158
00:09:48,281 --> 00:09:51,367
The owners have decided that they
would rather have the place empty
159
00:09:51,451 --> 00:09:54,496
than to pay the electric bill
for a bunch of deadbeats.
160
00:09:54,746 --> 00:09:57,248
You all have till after the
Labor Day weekend
161
00:09:57,373 --> 00:10:00,627
to get paid up
or hit the street.
162
00:10:00,835 --> 00:10:03,546
Mr. Cole, no.
That's only three days.
163
00:10:03,797 --> 00:10:05,298
Three and a half,
164
00:10:05,381 --> 00:10:08,218
and between you all,
you owe $1,800.
165
00:10:08,551 --> 00:10:09,928
$1,750.
166
00:10:10,011 --> 00:10:12,722
Come on, Harvey,
that's his cable money.
167
00:10:12,931 --> 00:10:14,599
They don't hook up cable
to a park bench,
168
00:10:14,682 --> 00:10:16,226
which is where
he's gonna be on Tuesday.
169
00:10:16,434 --> 00:10:19,521
I'll save you the trouble of
telling the rest of the sponges.
170
00:10:28,363 --> 00:10:29,823
What a dump!
171
00:10:30,073 --> 00:10:31,950
No wonder, they can't sell it.
172
00:10:37,396 --> 00:10:38,623
I hear that.
173
00:10:42,877 --> 00:10:44,003
Jeanie,
174
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,924
do any of you have
the back rent money?
175
00:10:48,133 --> 00:10:51,928
- Tommy, you're being indelicate.
- No. I'm being realistic.
176
00:10:52,011 --> 00:10:54,055
How do you expect to pay,
for the damages you did
177
00:10:54,139 --> 00:10:55,682
when you're having
trouble meeting the rent?
178
00:10:56,015 --> 00:10:59,227
Tommy, we have auto insurance.
179
00:10:59,352 --> 00:11:01,855
We do not have rent insurance.
180
00:11:02,105 --> 00:11:03,565
Now, really, this is
none of your affair
181
00:11:03,648 --> 00:11:05,233
so why don't you go
back to the store
182
00:11:05,316 --> 00:11:07,777
before somebody misses you.
Now, come on.
183
00:11:07,861 --> 00:11:09,696
Go on, Tommy, go.
184
00:11:11,531 --> 00:11:14,409
I felt as if I'd just
been to my family reunion.
185
00:11:14,492 --> 00:11:17,328
I knew everybody in that hotel
room by a different name.
186
00:11:17,453 --> 00:11:19,914
Even Harvey, reminded me
of my Uncle Richie,
187
00:11:20,039 --> 00:11:23,168
kind of the black sheep of our family
who made his living playing cards.
188
00:11:23,251 --> 00:11:26,880
Anyway, even though Madge and
Jeanie had an unerring knack
189
00:11:26,963 --> 00:11:29,924
for making me feel like a 10-year-old,
I wanted to help them out.
190
00:11:30,008 --> 00:11:32,427
I mean, everybody should do
their bit in a family crisis.
191
00:11:32,510 --> 00:11:35,597
So, I spent the rest of the
day driving by garages
192
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:38,183
that serviced high-performance
Street Rods.
193
00:11:40,476 --> 00:11:42,687
I know what you're thinking,
and you're right.
194
00:11:42,770 --> 00:11:45,815
My chances of running across that
car were next to impossible,
195
00:11:45,940 --> 00:11:48,109
but my Uncle Richie
always told me
196
00:11:48,234 --> 00:11:50,528
"Expect to get lucky
and you will."
197
00:11:58,703 --> 00:11:59,954
Hey, man,
198
00:12:01,998 --> 00:12:02,957
don't mess with my car.
199
00:12:03,166 --> 00:12:06,127
Your car? Were you
at the Day-N-Dark on Kuhio?
200
00:12:45,568 --> 00:12:49,505
Tommy, it's quite theatrical,
but not very logical.
201
00:12:49,587 --> 00:12:50,755
Jeanie...
202
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,633
I don't think the man in the teal car
meant to harm you in any way.
203
00:12:53,716 --> 00:12:55,260
Jeanie, please...
204
00:12:56,386 --> 00:12:59,180
would you mind
not calling me Tommy?
205
00:12:59,472 --> 00:13:02,600
Tommy is a little boy
with an all-day sucker.
206
00:13:02,809 --> 00:13:07,146
Tommy, please.
Please, dear, come and sit down.
207
00:13:12,652 --> 00:13:15,613
Your career goals
are important to you.
208
00:13:15,697 --> 00:13:17,407
You know, your detective thing.
209
00:13:17,657 --> 00:13:19,534
So, it's quite understandable
210
00:13:19,617 --> 00:13:22,287
that you wish to turn
a harmless prank
211
00:13:22,370 --> 00:13:24,122
into a television drama.
212
00:13:24,205 --> 00:13:25,623
It wasn't a prank.
213
00:13:25,790 --> 00:13:27,458
The guy who caused
your accident just--
214
00:13:27,542 --> 00:13:30,670
Gave you a bad paint job.
Yes, you've said that.
215
00:13:30,753 --> 00:13:34,173
So, did you ask the owner
of the garage
216
00:13:34,257 --> 00:13:36,050
if he knew the man
in the teal car?
217
00:13:36,134 --> 00:13:39,012
Blue. It was blue
and there was no one else there.
218
00:13:39,220 --> 00:13:41,264
Then you should have waited
for someone to come back.
219
00:13:41,347 --> 00:13:42,557
Why come here?
220
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,351
Because I thought
you might be interested.
221
00:13:45,435 --> 00:13:49,355
Fine, fine, never mind.
It doesn't matter.
222
00:13:49,564 --> 00:13:52,233
Because
I have the license number
223
00:13:52,317 --> 00:13:54,569
of the Street Rod
and I'll just...
224
00:13:55,570 --> 00:13:57,071
Wait a minute.
225
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,992
It was "M." M-E...
226
00:14:01,617 --> 00:14:02,952
M-E-A...
227
00:14:06,372 --> 00:14:07,582
Herman!
228
00:14:12,295 --> 00:14:15,882
The carpenter will be here at 10:00
on Monday to fix the stair railing.
229
00:14:16,007 --> 00:14:19,260
Don't want anyone to hurt yourself
when you're moving your stuff out.
230
00:14:20,178 --> 00:14:23,014
I'm deadly serious, people.
Tuesday.
231
00:14:24,974 --> 00:14:27,727
This receipt for the $50
I got yesterday, Wells.
232
00:14:28,186 --> 00:14:32,023
I was wrong. You're still
two months behind.
233
00:14:39,197 --> 00:14:43,159
Wells? No wonder,
he's a Texas Ranger fan.
234
00:14:45,495 --> 00:14:49,540
Johnnie, you know,
the Rangers are okay, but...
235
00:14:50,083 --> 00:14:51,959
I lived in Virginia
236
00:14:52,043 --> 00:14:55,213
and I don't think I ever got over
the Senators leaving Washington.
237
00:14:55,421 --> 00:14:56,631
Oh, come on.
238
00:14:56,756 --> 00:14:59,509
The wisest thing they ever did
was moving the franchise to Texas.
239
00:14:59,717 --> 00:15:01,302
The Senators were never great.
240
00:15:01,427 --> 00:15:05,264
No. No, but they had some pretty
good ball players over the years.
241
00:15:05,348 --> 00:15:10,228
Walter Johnson, Frank Howard,
Mickey Vernon and a second baseman
242
00:15:10,311 --> 00:15:12,146
named Johnnie Wells.
243
00:15:13,731 --> 00:15:15,691
I saw you play.
244
00:15:16,359 --> 00:15:19,153
It was June 10, 1952.
245
00:15:19,237 --> 00:15:21,030
It was the second
major league game I ever saw.
246
00:15:21,239 --> 00:15:23,157
- Did I have a good day?
- "O" for four.
247
00:15:23,282 --> 00:15:25,952
But you got on twice.
It was an error and a walk
248
00:15:26,077 --> 00:15:28,329
and you-you pulled off
a couple of miraculous steals.
249
00:15:28,454 --> 00:15:31,082
That was the year you led the
league with 46. You hit 381.
250
00:15:31,290 --> 00:15:34,836
No, no, no. 281.
I never hit over 300.
251
00:15:35,002 --> 00:15:37,255
Johnnie, I got your card.
It's on the back.
252
00:15:37,463 --> 00:15:39,382
- You got that card?
- Yeah.
253
00:15:39,507 --> 00:15:41,926
That's the one.
The misprint.
254
00:15:42,135 --> 00:15:43,886
It says 381 instead of 2.
255
00:15:44,053 --> 00:15:47,807
Oh, man, are you lucky.
That little jewel's worth over $50.
256
00:15:47,932 --> 00:15:49,517
I sold mine last year.
257
00:15:51,686 --> 00:15:53,438
You sold your own card?
258
00:15:53,646 --> 00:15:54,814
Yeah.
259
00:15:55,022 --> 00:15:59,735
For $50 worth of spending money,
huh, I should be sentimental?
260
00:16:00,528 --> 00:16:03,364
Diabetes. Every little bit helps.
261
00:16:05,783 --> 00:16:07,910
Whee!
Another home run.
262
00:16:10,121 --> 00:16:11,581
Girls...
263
00:16:12,540 --> 00:16:14,459
how long has this place
been on the market?
264
00:16:14,667 --> 00:16:15,751
Almost a year.
265
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,006
Which means it's not exactly the
hottest listing in town, am I right?
266
00:16:20,089 --> 00:16:21,424
So...
267
00:16:21,883 --> 00:16:24,427
have you ever thought about
trying to buy the place?
268
00:16:25,428 --> 00:16:29,265
Tommy, what a nice suggestion.
Why don't you go back to work?
269
00:16:29,348 --> 00:16:30,892
No, no, just listen to me.
270
00:16:30,975 --> 00:16:35,521
You have to come up with $1,800
by Tuesday, regardless, right?
271
00:16:35,605 --> 00:16:38,191
So, instead of using the money
for the rent,
272
00:16:38,274 --> 00:16:40,902
you just walk in,
make a viable bid
273
00:16:40,985 --> 00:16:42,945
with earnest money, and the
owners are bound to jump at it.
274
00:16:43,154 --> 00:16:45,114
With business logic like that,
275
00:16:45,198 --> 00:16:47,200
you'll never be president of Day-N-Dark.
276
00:16:47,825 --> 00:16:49,160
It could work.
277
00:16:49,410 --> 00:16:52,747
We're all on rigid
fixed incomes here.
278
00:16:52,997 --> 00:16:55,750
And we're not fund raisers.
279
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,419
Would you like to meet a guy
who is?
280
00:16:59,879 --> 00:17:02,798
LaSalle, that name seems
so familiar to me.
281
00:17:02,965 --> 00:17:07,303
Of course we do carry the name
of a famous French explorer
282
00:17:07,386 --> 00:17:10,181
and of a very fine car.
283
00:17:10,306 --> 00:17:13,100
Both dead for some years now.
284
00:17:13,309 --> 00:17:16,479
Yes, of course.
Well...
285
00:17:16,729 --> 00:17:19,732
But, we've never met?
286
00:17:19,815 --> 00:17:23,736
Oh, I'm sorry, no. I feel
confident we would remember.
287
00:17:23,861 --> 00:17:25,154
Yes, of course.
288
00:17:25,279 --> 00:17:29,367
Ladies, let me just say that I am
most sympathetic to your plight.
289
00:17:29,575 --> 00:17:32,161
However, Magnum's suggestion
that we hold a Bingo Bazaar
290
00:17:32,245 --> 00:17:33,955
on the Robin Masters' estate
291
00:17:34,163 --> 00:17:36,666
is out of the question,
I'm afraid.
292
00:17:36,749 --> 00:17:38,376
Of course, Mr. Higgins.
293
00:17:38,584 --> 00:17:43,005
We tried to talk him out of it,
but Tommy does get so excited.
294
00:17:43,214 --> 00:17:44,882
Yes, I'm well aware of that.
295
00:17:46,759 --> 00:17:49,053
Now if we could stage an event
with a proper decorum,
296
00:17:49,262 --> 00:17:51,055
perhaps a bridge tournament
at the Yacht Club--
297
00:17:51,138 --> 00:17:53,808
One! One.
298
00:17:54,183 --> 00:17:57,311
M-E-A-1. Two more to go.
299
00:17:57,436 --> 00:18:01,107
Oh, dear, are we back to
the man in the hot rod again?
300
00:18:01,274 --> 00:18:04,777
Tommy, wouldn't you like
to go outside and play?
301
00:18:08,447 --> 00:18:11,951
What a beautiful volume.
Poetry?
302
00:18:12,493 --> 00:18:15,621
No, it's nothing really.
Just a little diary I keep.
303
00:18:15,913 --> 00:18:17,873
Wonderful penmanship.
304
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,962
The Crisis in the Suez
by Jonathan Quayle Higgins.
305
00:18:23,087 --> 00:18:25,298
- Just a little diary?
- Well...
306
00:18:25,381 --> 00:18:29,885
Yes, I do like to jot down my past
remembrances from time to time.
307
00:18:30,136 --> 00:18:33,514
My husband was in the Suez
during the trouble there.
308
00:18:33,723 --> 00:18:35,266
Good heavens, what was his name?
309
00:18:35,349 --> 00:18:36,934
Gordon Archer.
310
00:18:37,018 --> 00:18:38,436
My God.
311
00:18:38,644 --> 00:18:40,354
He had that effect
on many people.
312
00:18:41,689 --> 00:18:43,733
I only knew your husband
by reputation.
313
00:18:43,899 --> 00:18:46,819
But Gordon Archer
was legendary in his own time.
314
00:18:46,944 --> 00:18:49,030
I was very proud of him.
315
00:18:49,238 --> 00:18:53,200
And we had
such wonderful times together.
316
00:18:53,326 --> 00:18:56,579
I remember one particularly
exciting experience
317
00:18:56,662 --> 00:19:00,916
crossing the Zambezi, just
north of the Mozambique Channel.
318
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,753
Archer was risking everything
to take me to safety.
319
00:19:03,836 --> 00:19:05,087
Madge...
320
00:19:05,254 --> 00:19:07,798
Magnum, how incredibly rude,
even for you.
321
00:19:08,424 --> 00:19:10,509
I'm sorry, Madge,
but it's Saturday.
322
00:19:10,718 --> 00:19:12,845
We have to raise the money
by Tuesday.
323
00:19:13,054 --> 00:19:15,598
Madge tells stories like
you tell stories, Higgins.
324
00:19:15,806 --> 00:19:18,517
One story apiece and we're
non-stop into Wednesday afternoon.
325
00:19:18,643 --> 00:19:21,312
It is impossible to arrange a
bridge tournament by Tuesday.
326
00:19:21,437 --> 00:19:23,898
So, invite the same
philanthropic people
327
00:19:23,981 --> 00:19:27,485
who play "tax deductible" bridge
over to play "tax deductible" bingo.
328
00:19:27,693 --> 00:19:30,237
The only difference will be
instead of trumping or bidding,
329
00:19:30,404 --> 00:19:33,282
you put cute little kernels
of corn on a piece of paper.
330
00:19:33,366 --> 00:19:34,617
Please?
331
00:19:36,577 --> 00:19:40,331
Even though I never met Gordon Archer,
we stood inches apart one evening
332
00:19:40,414 --> 00:19:42,208
as we fought for our very lives.
333
00:19:42,333 --> 00:19:44,960
Higgins! Tuesday.
334
00:19:45,169 --> 00:19:48,214
Magnum, we will have the bingo gala,
Monday afternoon at 1:00.
335
00:19:49,699 --> 00:19:51,676
Now, please go
and find something to do.
336
00:20:12,279 --> 00:20:15,533
Thank you.
Keep that Day-N-Dark smile.
337
00:20:22,873 --> 00:20:24,750
Pickled egg, please?
338
00:20:26,585 --> 00:20:28,713
T.C., no.
339
00:20:29,130 --> 00:20:31,173
Come on, can't you come up
with another joke?
340
00:20:31,257 --> 00:20:33,008
I mean, three days in a row.
341
00:20:33,134 --> 00:20:35,386
Besides, you know I hate to
fish those stinky things out.
342
00:20:35,469 --> 00:20:38,139
- I hate them.
- Pickled egg, please.
343
00:20:57,249 --> 00:21:00,586
What the hell are you doing?
We have a store full of customers.
344
00:21:00,703 --> 00:21:02,079
Why aren't you watching them?
345
00:21:02,204 --> 00:21:04,373
Because I'm watching this,
Miss Wilcox.
346
00:21:04,457 --> 00:21:06,125
Please, not now.
347
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,672
There.
348
00:21:14,550 --> 00:21:15,801
$.59.
349
00:21:17,470 --> 00:21:20,055
How stupid of me.
I must've forgotten my wallet.
350
00:21:26,312 --> 00:21:27,772
T.C.!
351
00:21:30,566 --> 00:21:32,359
Come back here.
352
00:21:32,735 --> 00:21:34,111
Magnum.
353
00:21:37,865 --> 00:21:39,533
Fifty-nine cents.
354
00:21:40,367 --> 00:21:43,162
Come on, guys, cut the
fifth grade comedy routine.
355
00:21:43,329 --> 00:21:45,498
Day-N-Dark was hit for
the 20th time this morning.
356
00:21:45,706 --> 00:21:47,875
- Here?
- No, not here. I was here.
357
00:21:47,958 --> 00:21:50,127
It was store number 27
on the Lia.
358
00:21:50,211 --> 00:21:51,462
The same as usual.
359
00:21:51,545 --> 00:21:53,631
The cash register was
emptied out without a clue,
360
00:21:53,714 --> 00:21:54,965
the customers were clean.
361
00:21:55,049 --> 00:21:58,052
Well, I guess, you got to get to
the other stores more often, T.M.
362
00:21:59,136 --> 00:22:02,223
That's it. Great cover.
363
00:22:02,431 --> 00:22:04,433
You can drop into
any Day-N-Night
364
00:22:04,517 --> 00:22:06,977
as the official
pickled egg pronger.
365
00:22:07,895 --> 00:22:11,482
That's cute, T.C. Real cute.
Rick, what about Ice Pick?
366
00:22:11,690 --> 00:22:14,068
- What about him?
- Well, Ronnie's speed shop?
367
00:22:14,151 --> 00:22:16,695
You promised me he'd lean on the owner,
for info on his employees.
368
00:22:16,904 --> 00:22:19,073
Thomas, Ice Pick wants a fee.
369
00:22:19,365 --> 00:22:21,367
- How much?
- Well, it's really nothing.
370
00:22:21,450 --> 00:22:23,244
He just wants an invite
to your bingo game.
371
00:22:23,452 --> 00:22:24,411
What?
372
00:22:24,578 --> 00:22:26,622
Oh, come on, Thomas,
it means a lot to Ice Pick.
373
00:22:26,705 --> 00:22:28,666
He used to be a bingo caller
in the old days
374
00:22:28,749 --> 00:22:30,668
and he wants to be seen
at a function like this.
375
00:22:30,730 --> 00:22:33,816
No, not Ice Pick. Rick, this
is strictly a class event.
376
00:22:34,004 --> 00:22:35,673
You know, the Higgins Hot 100.
377
00:22:35,881 --> 00:22:37,383
Okay, just forget it.
378
00:22:37,591 --> 00:22:39,593
No Ice Pick invite, no info.
379
00:22:42,221 --> 00:22:43,639
Follow that car.
380
00:22:46,058 --> 00:22:47,059
Right!
381
00:22:49,144 --> 00:22:53,649
And Rick... Hey, Rick!
Rick, I wanna go with you!
382
00:22:53,983 --> 00:22:56,360
You don't know why
I want you to follow him!
383
00:22:56,443 --> 00:22:57,695
Rick!
384
00:23:10,666 --> 00:23:13,127
I want four quarters
385
00:23:13,252 --> 00:23:15,963
and the price of a tank full
of Strawberry Dream.
386
00:23:16,046 --> 00:23:19,758
I wasn't stealing from the jar.
I was just making change.
387
00:23:19,842 --> 00:23:22,136
Oh, yeah? How do you make
change for four cents?
388
00:23:22,261 --> 00:23:23,679
- Magnum?
- What?
389
00:23:23,762 --> 00:23:25,180
I've got the little thief.
390
00:23:27,683 --> 00:23:28,851
No, you don't.
391
00:23:30,477 --> 00:23:31,729
Pay up.
392
00:23:34,773 --> 00:23:36,901
Please, mister.
Don't hit me anymore.
393
00:23:37,109 --> 00:23:38,861
I'll do anything you say,
but just don't hit me.
394
00:23:38,944 --> 00:23:40,863
Hey, you hit the kid?
395
00:23:40,946 --> 00:23:42,531
No, of course not.
396
00:23:42,740 --> 00:23:45,576
Yes, he did, sir,
but it wasn't his fault.
397
00:23:45,659 --> 00:23:50,331
I was stealing for my pregnant sister.
She's got nothing to eat.
398
00:23:50,414 --> 00:23:51,957
Oh, come on.
399
00:23:52,207 --> 00:23:54,460
- Did you hit the kid?
- No, he hit me.
400
00:23:54,793 --> 00:23:56,045
- Magnum!
- What?
401
00:23:56,253 --> 00:23:58,422
- This is the sister?
- No.
402
00:23:58,505 --> 00:24:00,382
Miss Wilcox, will you
please explain to him
403
00:24:00,507 --> 00:24:02,092
that I did not hit this brat.
What?
404
00:24:02,176 --> 00:24:03,886
We've been robbed.
Where'd he go? What?
405
00:24:04,094 --> 00:24:05,679
Hey, Skeeter,
got a real pervert here.
406
00:24:06,221 --> 00:24:07,890
He hits kids.
407
00:24:08,098 --> 00:24:10,267
With you standing right here
solving the cookie jar crime,
408
00:24:10,392 --> 00:24:11,602
we were cleaned out.
409
00:24:11,769 --> 00:24:14,521
The cash register's empty.
We've been hit.
410
00:24:14,980 --> 00:24:16,565
You hit the kid and the lady?
411
00:24:16,982 --> 00:24:19,360
Of course not.
Nobody hit anybody.
412
00:24:19,526 --> 00:24:21,320
Yes, we were. Just now.
413
00:24:23,822 --> 00:24:25,699
Nobody hits a lady.
414
00:24:25,950 --> 00:24:28,661
He bothers you again,
you come and see me.
415
00:24:30,329 --> 00:24:32,915
Well, I hope you're satisfied.
416
00:24:32,998 --> 00:24:34,750
You've made a mess of everything.
417
00:24:35,250 --> 00:24:36,460
Me?
418
00:24:36,585 --> 00:24:38,128
Wait a minute, will you?
419
00:24:38,212 --> 00:24:40,297
Just hold all the customers,
I'll question them.
420
00:24:40,506 --> 00:24:43,801
Surprise.
There's nobody in there.
421
00:24:59,958 --> 00:25:01,735
Failure's a funny thing.
422
00:25:01,860 --> 00:25:04,196
A baby learns to walk
by falling down.
423
00:25:04,279 --> 00:25:06,740
A child learns to swim
by almost drowning.
424
00:25:06,865 --> 00:25:10,160
And what kid hits the ball the
first time he swings a bat?
425
00:25:10,327 --> 00:25:11,662
Aha!
426
00:25:12,371 --> 00:25:14,707
So, why is it that
the older we get,
427
00:25:14,832 --> 00:25:17,710
the harder it is to deal
with the lessons of failure?
428
00:25:17,835 --> 00:25:19,461
Right after the robbery,
429
00:25:19,545 --> 00:25:21,922
the Day-N-Dark head office
advised me
430
00:25:22,006 --> 00:25:24,049
that I was fired.
431
00:25:25,175 --> 00:25:28,053
But I still had some people
who were counting on me,
432
00:25:28,178 --> 00:25:31,265
including a great base stealer
in a squeeze.
433
00:25:32,766 --> 00:25:35,894
It made the momentary failure
easier to handle.
434
00:25:41,025 --> 00:25:42,526
Magnum, there you are.
435
00:25:42,651 --> 00:25:44,695
We've run into a bit of a snag,
I'm afraid.
436
00:25:44,820 --> 00:25:47,197
Higgins, this is much more
important than your Bingo Bazaar.
437
00:25:47,406 --> 00:25:48,866
There's a problem
with the bingo party?
438
00:25:49,074 --> 00:25:50,534
Nothing that can't be resolved.
439
00:25:50,613 --> 00:25:52,161
- Thomas--
- Just a second.
440
00:25:52,244 --> 00:25:53,787
You are
still planning on having it?
441
00:25:53,954 --> 00:25:56,540
Of course, but Agatha's having
difficulty finding the corn kernels
442
00:25:56,665 --> 00:25:58,000
for the bingo tokens.
443
00:25:58,083 --> 00:26:00,919
I risk life and limb to get this
license plate number for you
444
00:26:01,003 --> 00:26:03,380
- and you wanna talk corn?
- You got the number?
445
00:26:03,464 --> 00:26:05,382
I lost him halfway to Pearl,
but I got it.
446
00:26:05,466 --> 00:26:08,052
Agatha came up with what
I consider a charming suggestion.
447
00:26:08,135 --> 00:26:10,179
- Simple little pearl buttons.
- That's wrong.
448
00:26:10,304 --> 00:26:11,972
I think "wrong"
is a bit of an overstatement.
449
00:26:12,056 --> 00:26:14,266
I know you were very specific
in requesting corn. Maize.
450
00:26:14,349 --> 00:26:16,060
But I think the buttons
would do quite nicely.
451
00:26:16,143 --> 00:26:18,562
No, no. He got the wrong number.
You chased the wrong car.
452
00:26:18,687 --> 00:26:19,980
Oh, sure. It's my fault.
453
00:26:20,064 --> 00:26:22,316
Maybe the guy changed plates, or
maybe he's got a matching set
454
00:26:22,399 --> 00:26:23,734
of '69 Street Rods.
455
00:26:23,817 --> 00:26:26,945
All I know is, this is the number
of the car you told me to follow.
456
00:26:27,071 --> 00:26:28,864
Imitation pearl, of course.
They're relatively--
457
00:26:28,947 --> 00:26:30,699
- All right, you're right.
- Splendid.
458
00:26:30,783 --> 00:26:32,201
There's gotta be an explanation.
459
00:26:32,284 --> 00:26:34,578
I don't think that's necessary.
I'll call Agatha right away.
460
00:26:34,661 --> 00:26:36,580
Oh, yeah, Higgins.
You take care of that.
461
00:26:36,639 --> 00:26:38,433
Listen, can you get me the registration?
462
00:26:38,540 --> 00:26:40,626
- How am I supposed to do that?
- Ice Pick.
463
00:26:40,709 --> 00:26:43,253
I'm afraid he didn't get an
invitation to the Bingo game.
464
00:26:43,378 --> 00:26:45,464
Higgins. Higgins.
465
00:26:46,548 --> 00:26:49,802
You really do have to invite a
fellow named Ice Pick to the party.
466
00:26:50,010 --> 00:26:52,096
I'm terribly sorry, but the
guest list is complete
467
00:26:52,304 --> 00:26:54,181
and I'm not familiar
with the name Ice Pick.
468
00:26:54,389 --> 00:26:57,392
- A pseudonym for a shy patron?
- Yeah, something like that.
469
00:26:57,601 --> 00:26:59,770
He's from an old,
established Chicago family
470
00:27:00,020 --> 00:27:02,314
and he's willing to make
a sizeable donation.
471
00:27:02,439 --> 00:27:04,858
Really? Which family?
472
00:27:05,067 --> 00:27:07,778
Their name is very respected.
They're big in cement.
473
00:27:10,239 --> 00:27:13,200
Just have him here at 1:00
in formal attire.
474
00:27:13,283 --> 00:27:16,203
Now, if you will both excuse me,
475
00:27:16,286 --> 00:27:19,665
I have something really
important to take care of.
476
00:27:27,798 --> 00:27:31,009
What sort of a man
chooses the name Ice Pick?
477
00:27:37,057 --> 00:27:40,310
Isn't it terrific?
It arrived late last night.
478
00:27:40,519 --> 00:27:42,229
Has to be from my kid.
479
00:27:42,354 --> 00:27:44,523
Did I tell you he still
lives in Washington?
480
00:27:44,690 --> 00:27:45,983
Yeah?
481
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,069
Hey, Johnnie,
482
00:27:49,695 --> 00:27:51,947
I've got a little gift for you, too,
483
00:27:52,030 --> 00:27:54,408
I mean, it can't compare
with the TV, but...
484
00:27:57,911 --> 00:27:59,830
- My '52 card.
- Yeah.
485
00:27:59,955 --> 00:28:01,331
The misprint.
486
00:28:01,665 --> 00:28:03,959
No, go on, take it back.
487
00:28:04,042 --> 00:28:06,128
Don't go around giving away $50.
488
00:28:06,336 --> 00:28:09,089
No, I'm getting a million
out of giving it to you.
489
00:28:09,214 --> 00:28:11,258
- Just don't sell it.
- Sorry.
490
00:28:11,508 --> 00:28:14,136
This card is worth
two months of cable.
491
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,222
Johnnie, I've kept that card
for over 30 years.
492
00:28:17,431 --> 00:28:20,976
Yeah, I know,
and you go on keeping it.
493
00:28:21,685 --> 00:28:25,898
For you, this is a prize possession.
That means a lot to me.
494
00:28:26,315 --> 00:28:29,735
But all it is
to Johnnie Wells is $50.
495
00:28:41,163 --> 00:28:44,208
Why, my dear,
not working this afternoon?
496
00:28:44,333 --> 00:28:45,834
I was fired.
497
00:28:45,918 --> 00:28:49,671
Well, I'm sorry to say it,
I'm not surprised.
498
00:28:49,922 --> 00:28:53,008
You must end your involvement
with our problems.
499
00:28:53,091 --> 00:28:54,718
We're doing just fine.
500
00:28:54,801 --> 00:28:58,305
Now, call Miss Wilcox and
tell her that you're sorry
501
00:28:58,388 --> 00:29:00,933
and that you really want
to do better.
502
00:29:05,020 --> 00:29:07,940
Have your kicks, Herman,
it doesn't get to me.
503
00:29:08,982 --> 00:29:12,694
Will you look at that?
Do you believe it?
504
00:29:12,903 --> 00:29:15,072
Okay, Johnnie, it goes.
No.
505
00:29:15,155 --> 00:29:18,825
Come on. Harvey,
that TV is not going anywhere.
506
00:29:18,951 --> 00:29:21,161
- His son gave it to him.
- So?
507
00:29:21,286 --> 00:29:24,873
I got my orders, and these
guys with me got a big truck.
508
00:29:25,123 --> 00:29:27,918
We're here to get the piano
that Herman's nephew bought,
509
00:29:28,126 --> 00:29:30,545
the recliner that David's
ex-agent bought,
510
00:29:30,712 --> 00:29:34,675
and the brand new $500 TV set
that Johnnie's son bought.
511
00:29:36,093 --> 00:29:39,179
- The owners said, "confiscate."
- The owners can't confiscate.
512
00:29:39,263 --> 00:29:41,390
- It's illegal.
- This'll say it's legal.
513
00:29:43,225 --> 00:29:44,643
Thought they had until Tuesday?
514
00:29:44,851 --> 00:29:46,520
Read it and weep.
515
00:29:46,645 --> 00:29:49,273
- How do I know this is real?
- Call your lawyer.
516
00:29:49,356 --> 00:29:50,857
We don't have a lawyer.
517
00:29:51,066 --> 00:29:52,234
Aw.
518
00:29:52,484 --> 00:29:54,861
We can't call a lawyer, Harvey.
It's Sunday.
519
00:29:55,487 --> 00:29:58,073
Start with the piano,
then the TV.
520
00:29:58,156 --> 00:29:59,574
Harvey.
521
00:30:53,295 --> 00:30:54,671
Thank you.
522
00:30:55,789 --> 00:30:57,583
All right, everyone,
523
00:30:57,716 --> 00:31:00,469
get your cards
and your buttons ready,
524
00:31:00,594 --> 00:31:02,346
and let's begin.
525
00:31:02,471 --> 00:31:03,930
How is it going, Higgins?
526
00:31:04,056 --> 00:31:06,183
Splendidly, considering
your Mr. Ice Pick
527
00:31:06,266 --> 00:31:08,101
cancelled on us
at the last moment.
528
00:31:08,185 --> 00:31:10,937
We're just fortunate Agatha
was available to fill in.
529
00:31:11,021 --> 00:31:14,066
Yeah, well, he felt real bad
about that. He had to fly out.
530
00:31:14,232 --> 00:31:15,525
Contract dispute.
531
00:31:16,234 --> 00:31:18,278
So, what's the take?
532
00:31:18,570 --> 00:31:19,863
The "take"?
533
00:31:20,105 --> 00:31:23,359
I think we're all wondering if
we've reached the 3,000 mark.
534
00:31:23,492 --> 00:31:26,161
Well, the total at this hour is $32,000--
535
00:31:26,286 --> 00:31:27,871
$32,000?
536
00:31:29,790 --> 00:31:31,541
- What?
- Oh.
537
00:31:35,170 --> 00:31:38,131
- Thank you, Mr. Higgins.
- We don't know what to say.
538
00:31:38,256 --> 00:31:41,718
Well, that's just the total without
taking into account the debit factor.
539
00:31:41,843 --> 00:31:44,304
The grand prize still has to
come out of the gross receipts.
540
00:31:44,388 --> 00:31:46,473
- $10,000.
- $10,000!
541
00:31:48,892 --> 00:31:52,687
Higgins, why? The grand prize
is for the coverall finale.
542
00:31:52,771 --> 00:31:54,773
The winner must cover
every number on the card.
543
00:31:54,981 --> 00:31:56,817
That's crazy.
It'll take all day.
544
00:31:56,983 --> 00:32:00,862
The numerical possibilities allow for
a game of 45 minutes at the outside.
545
00:32:00,987 --> 00:32:03,240
I assume you'll both be
purchasing cards?
546
00:32:03,448 --> 00:32:04,616
No, not me.
547
00:32:04,699 --> 00:32:07,119
Like I told Madge and Jeanie,
I never win at these things.
548
00:32:07,327 --> 00:32:09,746
Mr. Calvin,
it's for a good cause.
549
00:32:09,830 --> 00:32:11,081
It really is.
550
00:32:14,418 --> 00:32:17,712
Under the "G" as in George, 51.
551
00:32:17,838 --> 00:32:18,880
Bingo.
552
00:32:18,964 --> 00:32:22,634
Bingo! Oh, how wonderful.
We have a winner.
553
00:32:24,010 --> 00:32:25,262
Congratulations.
554
00:32:25,321 --> 00:32:27,973
Thank you, Agatha,
you've done a superb job.
555
00:32:34,438 --> 00:32:37,023
Ladies and gentlemen,
may I have your attention, please?
556
00:32:37,107 --> 00:32:40,068
It's time for the grand
finale of the Bingo Gala.
557
00:32:40,277 --> 00:32:42,112
This will be
the coverall novelty match
558
00:32:42,195 --> 00:32:43,697
in which the winning player
559
00:32:43,780 --> 00:32:47,159
must cover every number on the card,
not just a single line
560
00:32:47,367 --> 00:32:49,244
for a grand prize of $10,000.
561
00:32:50,579 --> 00:32:53,999
Is everyone seated comfortably?
Then let's begin.
562
00:33:00,380 --> 00:33:01,840
G-51.
563
00:33:01,965 --> 00:33:04,301
Under the "G," 51.
564
00:33:04,384 --> 00:33:07,637
Odd, I once had occasion to
use that exact combination
565
00:33:07,721 --> 00:33:10,849
in connection with a secret
code in a fleet of submarines.
566
00:33:18,857 --> 00:33:21,651
I had the misfortune of landing in
the middle of a herd of goats
567
00:33:21,735 --> 00:33:24,779
during the second World War
when Clive Krefting,
568
00:33:24,905 --> 00:33:27,407
the pilot was rendered unconscious,
by a gunshot wound.
569
00:33:27,991 --> 00:33:31,036
Although, I had no previous
training in landing such an aircraft,
570
00:33:31,244 --> 00:33:33,205
I did manage to...
571
00:33:37,459 --> 00:33:41,129
But, perhaps, this isn't the
time for such recollections.
572
00:33:41,630 --> 00:33:43,632
That was B-13.
573
00:33:43,882 --> 00:33:46,384
Forty-five minutes
on the outside,
574
00:33:46,468 --> 00:33:49,346
just inside of four hours.
This must be a world record.
575
00:33:49,763 --> 00:33:52,182
Please watch your cards.
We must have a winner.
576
00:33:52,432 --> 00:33:54,267
N-37.
577
00:33:54,684 --> 00:33:56,144
N-37.
578
00:33:56,937 --> 00:33:59,064
- N-37!
- You won?
579
00:33:59,147 --> 00:34:01,525
T.C., you won. N-37.
580
00:34:03,485 --> 00:34:04,736
I won?
581
00:34:07,864 --> 00:34:09,115
"N-37."
582
00:34:11,952 --> 00:34:13,495
I won.
583
00:34:18,708 --> 00:34:20,126
I won!
584
00:34:20,210 --> 00:34:23,255
I never won anything, since I won
an Ellery Queen decoder ring
585
00:34:23,338 --> 00:34:24,798
when I was seven years old!
586
00:34:24,881 --> 00:34:27,092
$10,000!
587
00:34:27,592 --> 00:34:29,636
I won! I won!
588
00:34:29,761 --> 00:34:31,513
Look, you know, I've always
wondered what I would do
589
00:34:31,596 --> 00:34:33,598
if I came into
a large sum of money.
590
00:34:33,682 --> 00:34:36,601
Maybe, I'll make
the down payment on a house.
591
00:34:37,102 --> 00:34:41,273
A down payment on a new helicopter,
or maybe expand my business.
592
00:34:41,356 --> 00:34:43,984
Travel. Rio, Mardi Gras.
593
00:34:53,326 --> 00:34:57,414
But, shoot. If I did that,
I'd have to come up with...
594
00:34:58,248 --> 00:35:00,542
a whole new bunch of dreams.
595
00:35:01,918 --> 00:35:05,338
So, if it's all the same
with you guys,
596
00:35:06,006 --> 00:35:09,092
I'd rather give my $10,000 prize
597
00:35:09,509 --> 00:35:12,679
to the Fountainbleu Residence
Purchase Fund.
598
00:35:14,222 --> 00:35:15,348
Oh.
599
00:35:28,111 --> 00:35:31,489
$39,617.
600
00:35:35,869 --> 00:35:38,580
Those little failure clouds
were starting to blow away.
601
00:35:38,663 --> 00:35:40,457
True, I'd lost a day and a half
602
00:35:40,540 --> 00:35:42,751
trying to track down
Madge and Jeanie's property,
603
00:35:42,834 --> 00:35:44,878
but, finally, I'd hit pay dirt.
604
00:35:44,961 --> 00:35:47,005
The goods were on their way
back to the hotel.
605
00:35:47,088 --> 00:35:48,465
And in about an hour,
606
00:35:48,548 --> 00:35:50,967
I would take Madge and Jeanie to put
a down payment on the Fountainbleu.
607
00:35:52,302 --> 00:35:54,471
The only dark cloud
left was the Day-N-Dark robberies.
608
00:35:54,554 --> 00:35:57,641
I knew there was a thread somewhere,
something simple that I'd overlooked.
609
00:35:57,724 --> 00:35:59,392
But I couldn't think
what it was.
610
00:35:59,476 --> 00:36:01,353
Yeah, Thomas,
I heard from Ice Pick.
611
00:36:01,436 --> 00:36:03,146
He got the registration
on the car.
612
00:36:03,229 --> 00:36:04,522
Yeah?
613
00:36:04,606 --> 00:36:06,316
Only thing is, it's kind of weird.
614
00:36:06,399 --> 00:36:08,151
It doesn't make any sense.
615
00:36:08,234 --> 00:36:09,402
What? What?
616
00:36:09,486 --> 00:36:11,863
The Camaro belongs to a guy
named Billy Princeton,
617
00:36:11,946 --> 00:36:16,076
but here's the weird part, the plates
on it belong to a '38 Caddy
618
00:36:16,201 --> 00:36:20,080
and it's registered to a Jeanine K.
and Margaret L. LaSalle.
619
00:36:22,374 --> 00:36:25,710
...a '38 Caddy and it's
registered to a Jeanine K.
620
00:36:25,835 --> 00:36:27,629
and Margaret L. LaSalle.
621
00:36:27,712 --> 00:36:30,632
Thomas, those are
the LaSalle sisters.
622
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,347
Perhaps the plates were stolen
from Madge and Jeanie's car.
623
00:36:38,431 --> 00:36:40,141
It doesn't make sense.
624
00:36:40,225 --> 00:36:42,143
He nearly runs two ladies over
625
00:36:42,227 --> 00:36:44,020
and then tracks them down
and steals their plates?
626
00:36:44,270 --> 00:36:45,397
I see your point.
627
00:36:45,522 --> 00:36:47,732
Madge and Jeanie did not
want me to trace that car.
628
00:36:47,816 --> 00:36:49,234
They know the guy.
629
00:36:49,317 --> 00:36:52,070
- Who are you calling?
- The LaSalle sisters.
630
00:36:54,906 --> 00:36:56,991
- Hello?
- Johnnie? It's me, Tommy.
631
00:36:57,283 --> 00:36:59,285
May I speak to Madge
or Jeanie for a minute?
632
00:36:59,577 --> 00:37:01,079
Magnum, aren't they with you?
633
00:37:01,454 --> 00:37:04,290
I haven't seen them since
before the bingo party yesterday.
634
00:37:04,541 --> 00:37:06,167
They didn't come back here
last night.
635
00:37:06,334 --> 00:37:08,169
Herman said they were waiting
to see you.
636
00:37:08,294 --> 00:37:10,004
We figured you might have
asked them to stay over.
637
00:37:10,714 --> 00:37:13,049
Magnum, where are they?
638
00:37:13,383 --> 00:37:15,927
They were carrying $39,000.
639
00:37:17,762 --> 00:37:19,639
Something must have happened
to them.
640
00:37:19,889 --> 00:37:21,808
- I'm calling the cops.
- No.
641
00:37:21,891 --> 00:37:24,602
Just give me a couple of hours,
I think I know where they might be.
642
00:37:24,728 --> 00:37:26,187
I'll call you
as soon as I find them.
643
00:37:26,271 --> 00:37:27,897
Magnum, there's something
you ought to see.
644
00:37:28,014 --> 00:37:29,516
- What?
- My old yearbook.
645
00:37:29,649 --> 00:37:30,942
Higgins, not now.
646
00:37:31,067 --> 00:37:32,986
This is regarding
the LaSalle sisters.
647
00:37:33,111 --> 00:37:36,448
I first saw them
37 years ago this July.
648
00:37:36,573 --> 00:37:37,699
And?
649
00:37:37,782 --> 00:37:39,659
Do you recall that when
the sisters first came to tea,
650
00:37:39,743 --> 00:37:41,953
I had the curious sensation
of having known them before?
651
00:37:42,036 --> 00:37:44,205
What's your point, Higgins?
I'm in a hurry.
652
00:37:44,289 --> 00:37:46,458
The LaSalle sisters
were performers.
653
00:37:46,624 --> 00:37:48,460
This is the theatre program
from Blackpool,
654
00:37:48,543 --> 00:37:50,920
the summer I completed
my upper second at Sandhurst.
655
00:37:51,129 --> 00:37:53,339
My father felt that some
sort of family celebration
656
00:37:53,423 --> 00:37:55,383
of my accomplishment
was in order, although,
657
00:37:55,508 --> 00:37:57,135
of course, I never
admitted this to Father,
658
00:37:57,218 --> 00:37:59,971
Blackpool was a bit gaudy,
by my standards.
659
00:38:00,180 --> 00:38:01,890
They were quick change artists.
660
00:38:02,015 --> 00:38:05,059
Well, that's hardly the description
for a classic performance.
661
00:38:05,143 --> 00:38:07,825
They presented a unique
multi-charactered mime.
662
00:38:08,021 --> 00:38:09,439
Just the two of them.
663
00:38:09,522 --> 00:38:11,483
Quite an extraordinary
display of...
664
00:38:14,319 --> 00:38:16,738
Ollie, it isn't fair of
you to ask this of us.
665
00:38:16,830 --> 00:38:18,698
And not very bright.
666
00:38:18,990 --> 00:38:21,451
The cash registers
were one thing,
667
00:38:21,534 --> 00:38:25,538
but, $150,000
is a very serious crime.
668
00:38:25,747 --> 00:38:29,125
Girls, believe me, now this is fair.
And you owe me.
669
00:38:29,250 --> 00:38:31,920
Why do you think I didn't turn you
in after the first robbery, huh?
670
00:38:32,128 --> 00:38:34,714
All these other jobs, they were
just a warm-up for this one.
671
00:38:34,798 --> 00:38:36,090
Forget it.
672
00:38:36,674 --> 00:38:37,884
Okay.
673
00:38:38,009 --> 00:38:39,469
You really wanna forget it, huh?
674
00:38:39,677 --> 00:38:42,388
That bingo money
belongs to Johnnie
675
00:38:42,514 --> 00:38:46,309
and Herman and all the other
people at the Fountainbleu.
676
00:38:46,559 --> 00:38:50,146
And they'll get it back just
as soon as you pull this job.
677
00:38:50,870 --> 00:38:52,198
Ollie...
678
00:38:54,234 --> 00:38:56,444
there aren't going to be
any guns.
679
00:38:56,820 --> 00:38:57,821
Promise me.
680
00:38:58,071 --> 00:39:00,323
I promise. No guns.
681
00:39:05,286 --> 00:39:07,580
Footnote to the
dissertation on failure.
682
00:39:07,664 --> 00:39:09,249
My little voice had convinced me
683
00:39:09,332 --> 00:39:13,211
that all my failures of the last few
days had been carefully planned.
684
00:39:13,336 --> 00:39:15,129
It was also saying,
685
00:39:15,213 --> 00:39:19,259
"Thomas, despite what the LaSalle
sisters have led you to believe,
686
00:39:19,384 --> 00:39:23,263
you are a functioning adult,
and proving it is sometimes
687
00:39:23,346 --> 00:39:24,931
very painful."
688
00:39:25,014 --> 00:39:28,017
- Please, go away.
- I want to buy something.
689
00:39:32,438 --> 00:39:34,148
What time's the big pick up?
690
00:39:34,232 --> 00:39:35,859
What are you talking about?
691
00:39:36,442 --> 00:39:37,819
Miss Wilcox,
692
00:39:37,944 --> 00:39:41,281
I happen to know that Day-N-Dark
is too cheap to pay armed guards
693
00:39:41,364 --> 00:39:43,491
overtime for holidays.
Too cheap?
694
00:39:43,575 --> 00:39:47,328
Which means that all the money from
all the stores is in one location.
695
00:39:47,579 --> 00:39:49,038
One guard.
696
00:39:49,622 --> 00:39:51,291
It's here, isn't it?
697
00:39:52,083 --> 00:39:55,003
They come for the money at 12:00,
but I don't need any help.
698
00:39:55,086 --> 00:39:58,840
You have been replaced by a very
competent Day-N-Dark security guard.
699
00:39:59,048 --> 00:40:00,675
- Where is he?
- In the back.
700
00:40:00,758 --> 00:40:01,801
Fine.
701
00:40:01,885 --> 00:40:04,220
I'll need to see those reports
that I left behind on the robberies.
702
00:40:04,470 --> 00:40:06,389
You know, the photos, police
interviews, all of that.
703
00:40:06,514 --> 00:40:08,641
You did not leave
the reports, Magnum.
704
00:40:08,709 --> 00:40:11,503
You were asked to return them
after you were fired.
705
00:40:11,728 --> 00:40:13,438
Miss Wilcox, please.
706
00:40:13,521 --> 00:40:16,774
You have over $150,000 in your office.
707
00:40:16,858 --> 00:40:18,151
If that money is stolen,
708
00:40:18,359 --> 00:40:20,528
I don't think your bosses are
gonna be too happy with you.
709
00:40:20,609 --> 00:40:22,697
So, can I please see
those police reports?
710
00:40:22,780 --> 00:40:24,115
No.
711
00:40:28,411 --> 00:40:29,954
Yes, may I help you?
712
00:40:33,082 --> 00:40:34,459
$1.98.
713
00:40:34,626 --> 00:40:37,712
All right, let's see,
that's $1.98 a pound.
714
00:40:38,087 --> 00:40:40,048
This is $3.49.
715
00:40:40,340 --> 00:40:42,091
$5.67.
716
00:40:47,889 --> 00:40:49,349
Thank you.
717
00:40:58,608 --> 00:41:00,610
- You stole the reports.
- Here.
718
00:41:00,693 --> 00:41:02,278
It didn't seem important
at the time,
719
00:41:02,362 --> 00:41:03,947
but it happened
at every one of the robberies.
720
00:41:04,030 --> 00:41:06,282
"10:05,
nun slipped on wet floor.
721
00:41:06,491 --> 00:41:08,451
Cash register attendant
ran to her assistance.
722
00:41:08,534 --> 00:41:11,329
10:09, attendant returned
to find register empty.
723
00:41:11,454 --> 00:41:13,164
2:16, elderly man fainted.
724
00:41:13,247 --> 00:41:14,749
Day-N-Dark attendant
called paramedics,
725
00:41:14,895 --> 00:41:16,599
returning to find cash register empty."
726
00:41:16,682 --> 00:41:18,044
All right, proving what?
727
00:41:18,252 --> 00:41:19,629
Proving...
728
00:41:21,673 --> 00:41:25,051
Proving that none of us are infallible
when it comes to judging character.
729
00:42:25,945 --> 00:42:27,655
Oh, I knocked down...
730
00:42:27,864 --> 00:42:30,199
Oh. Oh, my knee.
731
00:42:33,036 --> 00:42:34,370
Nice move, Madge.
732
00:42:34,579 --> 00:42:37,999
Although, I thought the nun's
outfit was a nicer touch.
733
00:42:38,374 --> 00:42:40,877
Yeah, how's this
for a nice touch, huh?
734
00:42:41,669 --> 00:42:44,130
- Ollie, you promised. No guns.
- Hey, I lied.
735
00:42:47,133 --> 00:42:50,511
You dirty rat.
You promised no guns.
736
00:42:50,636 --> 00:42:52,388
How dare you
bring a gun in here?
737
00:42:52,472 --> 00:42:53,473
He's the one.
738
00:42:53,723 --> 00:42:55,558
You stinking raccoon!
739
00:42:55,641 --> 00:42:57,060
How dare you
bring a gun in here?
740
00:42:57,185 --> 00:42:58,478
You promised.
741
00:43:12,575 --> 00:43:15,453
I still don't see why you had
to call the police right away.
742
00:43:15,745 --> 00:43:18,664
A crime has been committed,
or perhaps you didn't notice.
743
00:43:18,748 --> 00:43:20,083
Of course I noticed.
744
00:43:20,249 --> 00:43:21,542
Well, if you don't mind,
745
00:43:21,626 --> 00:43:24,504
I would like to finish my
report before they get here.
746
00:43:24,587 --> 00:43:26,130
Ollie was the guard
747
00:43:26,339 --> 00:43:30,384
at the very first Day-N-Dark
we tried to rob.
748
00:43:30,510 --> 00:43:33,638
Jeanie was a high school boy
getting a soft drink.
749
00:43:33,763 --> 00:43:36,516
I was a housewife
waiting to check out.
750
00:43:39,435 --> 00:43:43,648
Ollie was outside
waiting for us by our car.
751
00:43:43,981 --> 00:43:48,528
He said, "High school boys
don't wear cameo rings."
752
00:43:49,362 --> 00:43:52,156
It always worked best
when I played the men.
753
00:43:54,575 --> 00:43:59,038
After that first time,
Oliver actually hit the registers.
754
00:43:59,330 --> 00:44:01,791
Yes, but that doesn't change
the fact that you took the money.
755
00:44:01,874 --> 00:44:03,209
They'll give it back.
756
00:44:03,626 --> 00:44:06,295
Well, I'm not so
sure about that.
757
00:44:06,379 --> 00:44:10,258
It's all gone.
Little expenses, damage to the car.
758
00:44:10,383 --> 00:44:12,635
The color TV,
and Herman's piano,
759
00:44:12,885 --> 00:44:15,138
and the cable money,
and the stereo for Millie.
760
00:44:15,847 --> 00:44:18,307
You guys bought those things and
told the people at the hotel
761
00:44:18,391 --> 00:44:20,351
it was from their relatives,
right?
762
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:24,814
You forgot David's recliner
and Margaret's gall bladder,
763
00:44:24,981 --> 00:44:28,109
Duke's heart pacer, and
Ralph's cordless telephone.
764
00:44:28,234 --> 00:44:31,279
Oh, we made sure
everybody got something.
765
00:44:31,612 --> 00:44:33,406
I can understand the operations.
766
00:44:33,531 --> 00:44:36,159
But why didn't you pay your rent,
instead of buying toys?
767
00:44:36,265 --> 00:44:37,300
Toys?
768
00:44:37,410 --> 00:44:40,997
But they're just as important
as operations, the rent.
769
00:44:41,622 --> 00:44:45,418
Sometimes health and having a
place to live aren't important
770
00:44:45,543 --> 00:44:47,670
unless you have a reason
to live.
771
00:44:47,879 --> 00:44:49,589
Take Johnnie Wells.
772
00:44:49,714 --> 00:44:53,801
How long do you think he'd survive
without his love for baseball?
773
00:44:54,135 --> 00:44:57,430
A television set is just
as important to his life
774
00:44:57,555 --> 00:45:00,725
as a new heart pacer
is to Duke's.
775
00:45:01,017 --> 00:45:02,685
And Herman,
776
00:45:02,810 --> 00:45:06,981
take away his piano, and
he'll turn into a vegetable.
777
00:45:07,690 --> 00:45:10,985
No way to communicate,
778
00:45:11,736 --> 00:45:13,321
nothing to live for.
779
00:45:15,907 --> 00:45:17,992
We're here for the suspects.
780
00:45:19,994 --> 00:45:23,080
Ladies, no matter how noble
your motive,
781
00:45:24,498 --> 00:45:26,292
it was still stealing.
782
00:45:26,417 --> 00:45:30,004
Miss Wilcox.
Heather, please,
783
00:45:30,838 --> 00:45:33,132
we've got the bingo money
from Oliver.
784
00:45:33,257 --> 00:45:34,592
They've got $40,000.
785
00:45:34,717 --> 00:45:38,012
They can pay back every cent
they've stolen and Oliver's share,
786
00:45:38,095 --> 00:45:41,307
and besides, they did assist
in stopping the big heist.
787
00:45:41,557 --> 00:45:43,392
No, dear, she's right.
788
00:45:43,517 --> 00:45:46,354
We committed a crime
and we must pay.
789
00:45:48,856 --> 00:45:51,150
I just wondered, if we could
790
00:45:51,234 --> 00:45:55,196
just change our clothes
before they take us away.
791
00:46:01,702 --> 00:46:03,162
Oh,
792
00:46:03,371 --> 00:46:06,249
when the store gets back
its money,
793
00:46:06,582 --> 00:46:08,542
would you take the rest
to Johnnie?
794
00:46:08,626 --> 00:46:11,212
They can still make
a down payment on the hotel.
795
00:46:11,504 --> 00:46:12,922
You can give it to him
yourselves.
796
00:46:13,089 --> 00:46:16,008
Oh, I'm not so sure, Thomas.
797
00:46:16,259 --> 00:46:19,679
We're going to be away
for a long, long time.
798
00:46:19,929 --> 00:46:21,639
That's ridiculous, you're...
799
00:46:23,432 --> 00:46:25,434
You called me Thomas.
800
00:46:25,685 --> 00:46:27,061
Naturally.
801
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,231
Tommy's a little boy
with an all-day sucker.
802
00:46:30,606 --> 00:46:32,066
Thomas...
803
00:46:32,525 --> 00:46:35,695
is much more fitting
for a private investigator.
804
00:46:37,947 --> 00:46:39,657
We'll be right back.
805
00:47:18,321 --> 00:47:21,282
Oh, well, I hope you're happy.
They got away.
806
00:47:21,532 --> 00:47:24,410
Do you realize how many forms I'm
going to have to fill out for this?
807
00:47:24,618 --> 00:47:25,828
Why is it my fault?
808
00:47:25,911 --> 00:47:27,872
You're the one who said they
could change their clothes.
809
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:32,001
Oh, sure, try to shift the
responsibility. How like you.
810
00:47:32,376 --> 00:47:33,586
Me?
811
00:47:33,836 --> 00:47:37,465
Me? You don't even know me.
