We bring you another transcribed adventure with Richard Diamon, private detective, starring Dick Powell. Time detective agency, a pleasant smile, a cheerful rhyme. We'll keep you from doing time. Oh! Hi, Helen. Where do you get that cheerful rhyme bit?

You didn't think so? I didn't think so. Killjoy. Why can't you answer the phone like other people? Just say hello. You know, I never thought of that. If you try it sometimes, your prospective clients might think they were dealing with a sane, normal person.

You think it's fair to mislead them? Oh, Rick. Are you busy? Silly girl. Busy detectives make money. I just said that my desk, you make conversation with a beautiful redhead. Why don't you leave your desk and come make conversation with that redhead in person?

That's not a bad idea. I'm all alone. The idea is getting better. It's not even noon yet. We can go for a long walk. Oh. Well, you don't sound very enthusiastic. What's wrong with taking a walk?

Honey, in my business, I do more leg work than a pair of nylons. Walking just isn't my idea of a ripping good time. You want your better suggestion? You can know me for five years and ask questions like that.
