The Nugget of Truth Matter

Johnny Dollar. Hi Johnny, this is Ted Newberry over here at Good Old Union State's Casualty. Well hi Ted. What's this I hear about you going off the deep end a couple of weeks ago? I'm getting yourself engaged.

To what's her name? Mary Ann Hooper? Idol rumor, son. This Idol rumor. Oh, since when does an Idol rumor hit the society pages of the Sunday paper? Oh that. You mean this was just another false alarm?

How do you mean? Instead of you having to warm your way out of a romance again? Right. Thanks to dear old Mama, and without having to go through any sloppy farewell scenes, I'm back in circulation and ready to play the field.

Well, just you wait till 10. Huh? What do you do for all? And I mean all the way, including the marriage route. You were going to fall so hard the crash will be heard halfway around the world.

No, Johnny. The only girl in this world I could ever really take serious. We didn't get all I ever knew. Oh, tell me. Where you can't win the margin.

What was that? And, uh, she's really everything you say she is? Eh, well, time. Now, let's think about the place. So, wait a minute, Tess. What I suggested, that's what she agreed to, so let's the way it'll have to...

Oh, Teddy, you're a bum. I'll be there. Yes, Radio Network, bring you Mandel Kramer and the exciting adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account. America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator, yours truly... Johnny Dollar.
