Jerry, Bill, look up down the window, man! Bill, it's Rogers! Rogers! Rogers, look out! Bill, he's fired! Mr. and Mrs. North, starring Barbara Britton and Richard Denny. Listen, as Pam and Jerry solve the mystery, background for murder.

A nightclub in the middle of the afternoon is in a very romantic background, and the man at the piano doesn't sound as if he's serenading his love.

Fresh from the corn belt and really wide eyed at meeting the great hip rogers. The great hip rogers is a no good heel. Or hip, you mustn't say things like that. I think you're a wonderful person.

That's because you're not shocked, you do. Maybe not, but I'm sharp enough to know a nice guy when I meet one. Cyberjurting. That's nice. I like that. What's the name of it? No name yet.

Just something I play when I'm thinking about you. Call it hip roger's blues. Well maybe a trouble in A-flat? That's almost the title. Title of what? Nothing. It's just the sound of familiar. Where's your friend Mitchell?

Haven't seen him around recently. He's no friend of mine. I wish he'd stop making noises like a spot artist. A spot artist? A cop detective. I was asking questions. Like what does Mitchell do for a living?
