The Adventures of Sam's Fade Detective. Hi Sam! We're from the Darling. Last name, Sam. Roger? Salma, Roger. Darling!
I only asked Sam. Let's get on with it. Yes, Sam, I'm sorry. From Samuel's Fade, license number 137596. Subject? Subject, the quarter eagle caper. Hello. Dear, from the Darling. Sam. Yes, sir? Isn't that redundant?
Again? The Southeast Asian Sam. Shouldn't it be Dear Selma or Selma Darling, but not both? Now get this, Eve. It's real deep. Her name is Selma Darling. I have that, dear. Selma, Roger. Darling, it's a name. Her father was a darling before her.
Oh, really, Sam. Can't you take a joke? On the egg type, you should taste the label, Grade AA fresh. A dare film a darling. I'm stubborn. Not all of this will be news to you. The plot that is will be bad news.

My name is Eagle, Mr. Spade, Juniors J. Eagle. My card. Eagle, landing machine company. They call me the Gumball King. I'm proud of it. A kid who joined me in a ball, sir. Not while I'm on duty.
It's very good, our new avocado flavor. Yes, I've kept the Bay Area chewing for 20 years. And I will not be sure for my purpose. Boy. I intend to fight them tooth and nail. Hammer and tongs to the last ditch.
Bravo. But I don't need help. That's why I've come to you. My competitors, Mr. Spade, are leaving no stone unturned in their contemptible campaign to drive me out of business. Now they resorted to outright sabotage.
