Were you? Yeah, how are you? I don't know, Johnny. That's why I call you. What's the matter, Louise? Something about Lucky? I don't know. Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm getting tired of being a detective, why?

Hey, wait a minute. That doesn't sound like you. I know, but something's wrong. He's been on a case and he had to go to San Francisco, or at least that's what he told me. I haven't had one word, not even a postcard in a week.

That doesn't sound like lucky. Maybe he's in trouble. The worst case, Johnny. Could I talk to you about it? Maybe I'm all wrong, but I'd like to know. Yeah, sure, Louise. I'll be over in about an hour.
