Transcript

The National Broadcasting Company presents the Adventures of Sam Spade Detective. And say, Detective agency. May sweetheart. Sam! Most of the day is gone and you haven't even come in with the offer. I slept in, Effie.

Did you have a dizzy line? Rather, didn't you read the papers today? What? Oh, I've given up reading the papers. There's still a bad news lately. Well, they're especially full of bad news today, Eff.

Why I had to turn away three clients today. Well, it's like I'm thinking of quitting private detecting anyway. You are? What would you do? Well, well, I know reporter's job that's open. Now, how would that sound?
