Come on, guys! Let's keep
those hands up and move!

That's it. Jab, jab, jab!

- Let's go! Let's go!
- Over this! Don't break! Oh!

Jab, jab, jab! That's it!
Keep that jab going!

- That's it! That's it!
- Hold on!

Come on, Moses, wait for your chance.

Tuck that chin in, guys. Come on now!

Ernest Hemingway.

What brings a private
detective to a boxing match?

- Maybe a certain boxer?
- Alright, give it to him!

- Break! Break!
- Did you see that, Hemingway?

Boxer lands punch... great headline.

- Huh.
- OK, come on,

let's move! Let's keep moving!
Keep moving! Right there!

You're gonna give Moses Page his due.

Not like that last column
you dashed off.

You sleep through that fight?

- Well, I was hungover.
- Please.

- So yes, I probably nodded off.
- Don't you ever get tired

- of your own arrogance?
- Hmm.

Oh!

Alright, back up!

- You OK, buddy?
- Great,

the one interesting thing,
and you made me miss it.

Well, it's your fault for arguing. So

you'll be betting on
Moses in his next fight?

Highly unethical for a
Toronto Star reporter.

Well, I'll be reading
your next article.

Try to be objective for once.

Always a pleasure, Ms. Drake.

OK, that's better.

That's better. That's better.
Get up, buddy, you're OK.

That Hemingway,

- he's just a two-bit typist.
- Haha!

You know, if I listened to critics,

I'd have given up a long time ago.

Hmm, Moses Page, the voice of calm.

I'm just saving it for the ring.

Then, Jack Dempsey had better
look out. When do you leave?

I leave for Chicago on the weekend.

You can take him. You know that.

Thanks for the pep talk, Coach.

Well, can I interest you
in a cold gin?

Hello there. Excuse me,

- but are you Frankie Drake?
- Who's asking?

- I need some advice.
- Can't it wait 'til morning,

- Mister... whoever you are?
- I don't think so.

I'm Eric Morrison. Cap told me if I
needed something, to look you up.

- "Cap" as in Captain Morrison?
- Yeah.

- It's about my car.
- How do you know Cap?

He's my father. It's parked close by.

She's not a mechanic; you should just

- call a garage in the morning.
- I don't think

I should wait. Can't you just
come and have a look?

Go check the car, Frankie,

and I'll see you before I leave town.

I'd like that.

Alright, Mr. Morrison, let's go
see what's so important.

♪

So how is Cap anyway?

I hardly see him.
He's always travelling.

Oh. And he's still
with the Signal Corps?

I don't actually know.
It's all a bit hush-hush.

OK. So you've been here a few months,

- and you have a car already?
- It's a recent acquisition.

- Did you steal it?
- I didn't steal it.

And anyway, it's not
about the car per Se;

it's about my trunk.

Mr. Morrison, I don't know
how I can help you.

I think you will when you see him.

There's a man.

Past tense more appropriate.

Is this something
you could help me with?

♪

So let me get this straight:
you have no idea

who this is or how he got here.

I've no idea. I got off
the ferry, looked in my trunk

- and found him.
- And you brought the trunk

- over from London?
- Yes. It's been sitting

- on the back of the car.
- And who did you buy

- the car from?
- I didn't buy it...

I won it in a poker game.

Fair and square.

Can you help me?

Have you touched the body?

I checked for the guy's pulse

and his wallet. He didn't have either.

What do we do?

First, we call the police...

anonymously.

Hopefully, that will buy us
enough time to get

to the bottom of things.

♪

Hm! You look wiped out, Frankie.

Let's just say it was a long night.

- Hm, sounds fun.
- I wish.

So, a body was called in
anonymously...

You mean our friend in the trunk?

Neat packing job.

He's on the table,
uncurling in the autopsy room.

Well, I need a time of death
and an identity.

Preferably before the coppers.

That's a lot of pressure.

♪

Oh.

Let me get this straight.

Because this kid's father
is a guy you knew in the war

you don't think he's the killer?

Well, he could have just
dumped the body.

Instead, he same to see me.

OK, well, let's say he didn't
murder the sucker in the trunk,

who did?

Maybe it has
something to do with the car.

Now, Eric said that he won it
in some poker game.

Or maybe it's just random.

Though not likely.
Someone framing Eric?

Yeah, if that's the case,
why him? What's he done?

Maybe he really is the killer.

Hello. It's me, your latest client.

You... didn't change
your mind, did you?

- Not yet.
- Eric, this is Trudy Clarke,

- my associate.
- Delighted.

Hmm! You seem pretty upbeat for a guy
who could be doing the dance very soon.

- "Dance"?
- She means the noose.

Is it really that bad?

Do you have an alibi for last night?

I already told Frankie I don't.

No alibi, not helpful.

OK... First things first,

we need to know
who you won that car from.

All right then. We'll need
to take a short journey.

How well did you know my father?

Well, he was my boss,
and we were good friends.

He talked a lot about you.
Said you spoke your mind,

you had unconventional friends

and didn't put up with any flimflam.

"Flimflam"? I haven't
heard that in a while.

The last time was probably
with your dad.

He said you were
one of his best riders.

- Still got that bike?
- I do.

I don't suppose, since I lost
my car, I could sort of...

- No one touches the bike.
- Yes, of course.

You're living
on Toronto Island in a tent?!

Tent living is quite the thing
once you're used to it.

How else to get away
from the sweltering heat

- of the city.
- What are you doing here, Eric?

I told you: beating the heat.

No. I mean here in Toronto.

Truth is my father gave me
a one-way ticket to the colonies

with the instructions to become a man.

Just as I was to play Hamlet for
the Amateur Dramatic Society.

- Maybe it wasn't a coincidence.
- This is it!

Home sweet home!

Where the hell were you last night?

My boat was almost stolen; you
were supposed to be watching it.

I've got bigger problems to worry
about than your bloody boat!

OK. OK, OK. Now that you have that

out of your systems, let's make
some introductions here.

This is Archie, tent mate
and otherwise acquaintance.

- Yeah? He's a no-good son of a...
- We met at a poker game.

- Yeah, where you were cheating!
- OK.

OK!

- Tell me about your car.
- Who wants to know?

Someone who can cause
a whole lot of trouble.

It was just sitting there.
I kind of borrowed it.

- So you stole it?
- I was gonna put it back,

- but then I lost it in the game.
- When did you take it?

About three weeks ago.

- Who's the owner?
- I don't know!

Honest! What's this all about anyways?

Just lay low and try
to stay out of trouble.

- Thanks.
- We'll be in touch.

Where do you keep all the gadgets?

You know, the invisible ink
and everything?

Oh, the inner sanctum

of the detective agency.

- Disguises!
- Mary!

Ah! A fully functioning gin still!

In direct contravention
of the Temperance Act.

- I didn't see that, ladies.
- The licence plate, Mary?

License plate "186-148"

is registered to a Mr. John Russell.

And he is...?

Well, from what I gathered
from my discrete inquiries,

he is a well-heeled gadabout.

Seems he likes to spend a lot of time

at the Lake Ontario Yacht Club
where he's the treasurer.

That's just a short walk
from Eric's tent city.

- Striking coincidence.
- Uh, and there's more:

Mr. Russell has not
reported his car stolen.

Interesting. I wonder why not.

Suspicious behaviour
if you ask me.

Maybe we should pay him a visit.

Good luck. The Yacht Club
is strictly members only.

Right, Yacht Club...
I think I saw something.

"The engagement of Mr. Peter Bennett,

"son of Lake Ontario Yacht Club
President Michael Bennett,

"to Ms. Rose Adams will be celebrated

at the Adams' summer residence
on Toronto Island."

Russel will most likely
make an appearance.

- But how are you gonna get in?
- You're still in touch

with your friends
from the music world, Trudy?

Bravo! Bravo!

Welcome. Welcome, everyone.

I want to welcome everyone to my home

to share this day with you,

to share in this beautiful view.

We're here this afternoon to celebrate

this fine young couple.

Peter, my lovely daughter
is now your problem.

Daddy!

Rose, you know I love you.
Now, everyone, I would ask

that you raise your glasses

to the future
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Bennett.

- Cheers to the couple.
- Cheers!

- Peter, congratulations.
- Hear, hear!

- A beautiful day, isn't it?
- You know which one's John Russell?

- I haven't seen him.
- OK, everyone...

Too bad, he's a good tipper
at the Yacht Club.

A bit familiar though

- if you get my drift.
- More drinks here.

- Thanks for the warning.
- Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

I'll be back in a moment.

Excuse me. You... you're the reporter?

Yes. Doris Pittman, Mr. Adams.

Ah, we've been expecting you.

- Of course.
- Oh, yeah.

This is such a lovely party;
you do your daughter proud.

- Thank you.
- Everyone's so stylish,

but none more beautiful than the
lovely Rose and her husband to be.

- The perfect couple!
- Hahaha!

Now, this is for the weekend edition?

Yes siree.

So let's make it good enough
for the front page, shall we?

- Absolutely. Hey.
- Hahaha! OK, you two.

Look at the camera.

That's wonderful. Now,
how about one with the parents?

- Absolutely.
- OK. Honey!

- Yeah.
- You brought a camera;

how very enterprising of you!

- Hemingway.
- So it seems

we're a long way
from a boxing ring, Ms. Drake.

(MR. - Groom to be.

- I think that looks great!
- Ready.

OK, big smiles, everybody.

Why are you impersonating a reporter?

Society weddings, Hemingway?
Really? That's a step down.

My editor is trying to break me,

but damned if I'll give
him that satisfaction.

So he'll get his boring,
predictable headline.

Well, your passion
for the job is staggering.

I hate this city. "Toronto the Good."

Here, you can't even buy candy
at a drugstore on a Sunday.

Well, life's tough.
I'll be seeing you.

Hey, hey, hey, not so fast.

You're gonna tell me
what a private detective

is doing here. And I know
it's not for the free canapés.

- Are you onto something?
- Maybe.

I knew it.

Well, if you'd like me
to keep keeping quiet,

you're gonna have
to give me the scoop.

You're kidding me?

You think I want to continue
to write third-rate columns?

I want to write stories that sizzle,

stories with real meat.

So it's simple:
my silence for your story.

Fine.

I am looking

for a John Russell.

Johnny Russell? That playboy!

You know him?

Yes, I know him. He'll be happy

- to be investigated by you.
- Do you know where he is?

He's not in Toronto. He's in Havana.

- What's he doing there?
- Probably buying candy

on a Sunday. It's Havana.

That's it?

Something to do with casinos.

In reality, he's probably
getting soaked,

but that's just Johnny for you.

Thank you.

Very nice. Very nice.

Thank you. Good job.

♪

- Good afternoon, gentlemen.
- Ms. Clarke!

Who's gonna tell me what's going on?

It's not really what it seems.

Uh, the booze is for medical use only.

I promise. Archie knows this doctor

that writes prescriptions for alcohol

for certain members of the Yacht Club.

Think of us

as a delivery service.
It's not actually

illegal, strictly speaking.

May I have a word with you?

Why didn't you tell us you're
selling booze on the side?

I know it looks bad, but it
was just a way of making money.

Frankie's putting her neck
on the line for you.

So if you're hiding something
else, you'd better come clean.

♪

I'm telling you, Frankie:

you shouldn't be trusting this kid.

Relax. Eric may be playing
fast and loose with the truth,

- but he is not a killer.
- You know, I don't get it.

On all other cases, you are suspicious

of everything that moves.

It's got something to do
with his father,

doesn't it?

You know what I think?

Captain Morrison,

wartime boss, wartime fling.

And now his son shows up.

Yeah. It's awkward.

What happened? The war ended,
and he went back to his wife?

Yes, thank God!

It had run its course.

No need for Eric to know by the way.

Lips sealed.

Is it too late for that cold gin?

Of course not. Come in.

So, how did it turn out with the kid?

Ugh, it's a long story
involving a trunk

and a dead body.

- You don't want to know.
- You knew his father?

He recruited me during the war.

- To do what?
- I ran messages to the front.

- Oh.
- It's amazing

how a gal can be so invisible.

- You were his eyes and ears?
- Something like that.

So there's even more to the story.

Well...

...it's all behind me now.

What about you?

You're not exactly an open book.

My grandparents were
slaves in Louisiana.

Now I grew up in the bayou.

Mostly French spoken down there.

- So what brought you here?
- When I was old enough,

I went to New Orleans.

Turns out I was pretty good
with my hands.

Haha!

Started fighting town to town,
ended up here.

All on my own, just like you.

- Birds of a feather.
- Volent ensemble.

Your trunk man was
bludgeoned to death.

Nasty blow,

usual blunt object;
killers are not very creative.

Carpet fibres in the wound,
so obviously killed elsewhere.

- Time of death?
- Between 6 and 11 on the night

he was found. No idea who he was.

- Do you have the suit he was wearing?
- Mhm.

He sure got his money's worth
out of this thing.

Heavy smoker.

Likely a pipe.

Hand-made. Label's pretty faded.

Looks like to be a Gerber
or Gelber Tailoring.

Nice work, Sherlock.

Mr. Gelber and I had a nice chat
about his pipe-smoking customer.

- You called him?
- It was the obvious thing to do.

Here's the victim's name.

Thanks, Flo.

By the way, the cops
found a ship's marking

chalked on a steamer trunk.
The Mauritania no less.

The manifest is on its way.

Whoever owned it,
their name is on that list.

Your victim, Buddy Steele,
he was well-known to police.

- You don't say.
- But not in the way

you might think.
He was a private detective.

You're kidding?
By the wear of his suit,

- you'd say he was a struggling one.
- It's a tough business.

- How old?
- 28. He hung out his shingle

- when he got back from the war.
- Sounds familiar.

- Any idea what sort of person he was?
- Well, from all accounts,

he was a bit rough
around the edges, but fair.

He wasn't above breaking the rules,

although what private detective isn't.

Comes with the territory.

- Do you have an address?
- Uh, yes.

- His office is on Spadina.
- So this guy survives

the war only to end up dead
in some kid's steamer trunk.

Who would do
something like that to him?

♪

Do you find this a bit ironic?

Only slightly.

Nice.

Takes a great effort to make
a place look this depressing.

Trudy...

I think we found

where Mr. Steele was murdered.

This explains the carpet fibres.

So if Buddy met his maker here...

How did he end up in Eric's trunk?

♪

Divorces and...

insurance-fraud investigations.

- It's pretty standard.
- Doesn't seem like

anything worth killing over.
Maybe it was personal.

Frankie,

look at this.

Buddy was following Eric.

It's Rose Adams,

Peter Bennett's fiancée.

So much for coming clean.

I think it's time we had a chat

with our client.

How do you explain these?

Where did these come from?

Listen to me, Eric. Your trunk is
leading the coppers straight to you.

- Things will go bad very soon.
- If you don't start talking,

I'll hand you over myself.

No one can know about Rose and me.

So you are lovers?

- How did you two meet?
- We met here, on the island.

She said she hated being
cooped up at her father's place,

so she'd slip out to meet me.
I was a breath of fresh air.

It started as a fling,
a summer romance.

Yes, because those always end so well.

- She's my alibi for the other night.
- Well, that's good news.

- But I can't breathe a word about us.
- Why not?

Rose made me promise.
Her father would disown her

if he found out she was in love
with a Joe Nobody living in a tent!

A private detective
is taking pictures of you,

that detective ends up
dead in your trunk;

- how do you think that looks?
- It's all my fault somehow,

isn't it? This is horrible!

How do you
two lovers communicate?

Ugh! Your game, Peter.

It's not like you to miss that.

I'm not in the mood.
Let's just call it a day.

I'll get us some lemonade.

- Ms. Adams.
- Who are you?

I'm a friend of Eric's.

I just wanted to have a quiet chat.

You know about that. So what?

Who would hire a private detective

- to take photos of you and Eric?
- My father of course.

He had me followed
by that horrible man.

Why?

He didn't want anything to
jeopardise my marriage to Peter.

But you're still seeing Eric.

What girl doesn't need
some excitement? And Eric is

- much more fun than Peter.
- So why marry Peter?

It's some business
arrangement for Daddy.

- An arrangement?
- The family needs

Peter's capital for some project
at Ashbridge's Bay.

I don't understand why.
Daddy has "boocoos" of money.

And why would a modern woman

like yourself agree
to something like that?

♪

So did Rose answer your question?

Rose Adams is a young
woman who is caught

- between what she already has...
- Everything.

...and what she thinks she wants.

The romantic allure of vagabond life.

Not that I blame her for wanting
a taste of something different.

You know, I used
to envy girls like her.

Everything seems so easy for them.

Yeah, but it's much more fun working

than playing badminton
on your front lawn.

Maybe one day Rose
will be able to escape.

Who knows? Maybe Eric will
end up being her one true love.

I didn't realise you were so romantic.

Well, what if I was
to tell you that Trudy Clarke

had a secret love life?

Do you?

No.

But I never give up hope.
Now, the question is,

does Donald Adams really have
"boocoos" of money

- after all?
- Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing.

- Let me look into it.
- OK.

Trudy.

Thanks for doing this for me, Bill.

Always a pleasure, but I must say

I... am a bit nervous.

- What for?
- I've never been

- This?! This is nothing.

Let me show you where the real fun is.

- You in?
- Yeah.

- Is this a speakeasy?
- My local.

Two cold teas, please. That's whiskey.

Shouldn't the police know about this?

- Then why is it still open?

Because they come here
when they get off their shift.

Mmmm.

I could try,

telegram perhaps, but it is Havana.

Ladies.

So Russell goes to Havana
for six weeks,

he's back in three...

Which means he left Toronto
three weeks ago.

The same time Archie stole his car.

Look, I don't want
any trouble with the cops.

I got a good thing going with
those boys at the Yacht Club.

We're not here about
your delivery service, Archie.

Just show us where you found the car.

Oh, well, it was left over there.

It's usually deserted around here.

That's what makes it
such a good spot to pick up

the booze and take it
back over to the island.

- Where are we?
- This is Ashbridge's Bay.

The site of Adams' latest
development according to Rose.

But what brought Russell here?

And why didn't he take
his car with him when he left?

There's a survey crew.

I wonder what Adams
is planning to build next.

I'm sure those gents
will be happy to tell us gals

- all about it.
- Whatever it is, I'm sure

Russell wasn't here
to pick up a shovel.

Um, so, can I go now?

Call the Toronto Star. Get a message

to Ernest Hemingway.
Tell him to meet us here.

When did Russell make the transfer?

Really?

Could you get a message
to him down there?

You're sure of that?

Yeah, thanks.

Hemingway.

Archie who?

Where the hell is that?

Thank you.

The cabbie nearly refused
to drive me out here.

I can see why. I take it

there's a reason I'm in
this God-forsaken place?

You are standing on the site of
Donald Adams' latest development.

- Mr. Skyscraper?
- They very same.

According to the survey crew,
this is to be

the new waste-water treatment plant,

the largest public-works project
in the history of Canada.

And your pal Russell
is the money behind it.

- That doesn't make any sense.
- No?

Why not?

Word is Russell's moving
all his capital to Havana.

Casinos being far sexier than sewage,

- I suppose.
- Any luck reaching Mr. Russell?

Let me guess he never
arrived in Havana.

Sizzle comes at a price, Hemmy.

♪

John Russell drove
his car here three weeks ago.

How do you know this?

A kid thought the car
was abandoned and stole it,

but the theft was never reported.

- Why wouldn't Johnny report it?
- Good question.

Let's say
Russell came down here

to talk to his business partner
Donald Adams,

to let him know the he wants
to pull out of the deal

because casinos are "far sexier
than sewage" after all.

There's a heat-of-the-moment argument
over Russell moving his money to Havana

abandoning Adams.
It would have ruined him.

A confrontation happens,
then Adams loses his cool.

One thing leads to another...

It all sounds quite sensational.

I take it you ladies
brought me down here

to help look for Johnny's body.

No. We brought you down here

to identify Johnny's body.

Can the gin in this place be trusted?

This is a whiskey joint, Hemmy.

Hello, Frankie.

Your usual? "Cold tea"?

Thank you, Wendy.

I'd rather
have my "cold tea"

on the rocks with a splash of seltzer.

Of course you would.

To Johnny.

Rest his soul. And damn
the bastard that killed him.

So...

- why is a private detective dead?
- Oh,

maybe Buddy Steele also figured
out that Adams killed Russell.

So Adams decided to take
care of him as well.

OK, then why put the body
in the kid's steamer trunk?

- It's the perfect frame.
- How?

Buddy had photos of Eric with Rose.

Ah, of course.

"Hot-headed lover kills
private detective

to protect illicit affair."

Ah, it writes itself.

- OK, what now then, ladies?
- Adams was pretty clever.

- Maybe too clever.
- You have a plan.

You can count on it, Hemmy.

Well, you just make sure I'm there.

It will be my number one priority.

Rose's father tried

to frame me for murder?

And you thought your father
was hard to get on with.

How do I get out of this?

Well, I have a plan,

but I need your help.

Perhaps we can put your
amateur dramatic skills to use.

Any chance it will get
Rose out of that marriage?

Maybe.

All right then.

What do you have in mind?

Good evening, Mr. Adams!

Nice to meet you.
Care for a little chat?

You must be joking. Leave.

You might want to hear me out.

It's about John Russell.

I'll have a Scotch. No ice.

Oh! What a terrific view

you have here! You can see
the whole city! Marvelous!

You were saying?

Oh, your business partner, Mr.
Russell,

I'm having a devil
of a time finding him.

- Really?
- Though I believe

he's nearby. Ashworth's...

Ashbridge's, something like that.

Ring a bell?

What do you want, Mr. Morrison?

Peter Bennett is
completely wrong for Rose.

Deep pockets, I know, good
from a business point of view,

but just not the right husband.

- I, on the other hand...
- Are you suggesting that you...

Absolutely! I'm a far better match

- for your daughter.
- Oh, this is absurd.

Is it really? I mean,
as your son-in-law, I would be

honour-bound to protect
the family secrets.

I wouldn't breathe a
word about anything.

Not a thing.

I think it's time for you to leave.

You sure?

Uh-huh. We have nothing
more to talk about.

Oh. One more thing:

you might want to check
your cufflinks drawer.

Rose lent me a rather
handsome monogrammed pair.

One may have somehow ended up

on the person of
poor Mr. Russell. But...

why don't I leave you to
think about it, Mr. Adams.

♪

What's your game?

I could ask the same of you.
Why did you do it?

Because we were gonna make a fortune

together until Russell
left me high and dry.

That's why. I didn't mean
to kill him, though.

But you did kill Buddy Steele
and frame me.

I don't take kindly
to being blackmailed,

so you tell me
where are the cufflinks!

In the drawer where you left
them, I should think.

I'm not quite
the fresh-off-the-boat chap

- you thought I was.
- You bastard!

♪

Did you get that, Hemmy?

Ringside seat, Ms. Drake.

♪ Your sweet affirmation ♪

Standing up to my father like that,

- you were so brave.
- It was nothing really.

What any chap would
do to win his girl.

- Haha! I'm your girl?
- Of course you are.

What? You think I'm your girl?

Well, you are, aren't you?

Darling Eric, it's been so
much fun and everything,

but it was just that, wasn't it?
You know, fun for the summer.

You mean, you're going
to marry Peter after all?

Peter? No, of course I'm not.

My father's in jail and
all the money's gone.

So I'm free as a bird.

And then, she steps up

and decks Adams with this right hook.

He went down like he was hit
with a sack of marbles.

It was a thing of beauty.

Oh, he's lucky she didn't
hit him with her left!

He's still be out cold.

She's some kind of fireball.

No one like her.

You were absolutely right
about summer romances.

- Sorry about that.
- I will get over it.

Rose isn't the only one
who's free, thanks to you.

Free? What about your bill?

Oh, that.

I can pay for that over time.

- I got a few things on the go.
- Really?

Nothing you need to know
about, let's leave it at that.

Maybe you can put
your acting skills to use again.

You certainly fooled Donald Adams.

Maybe you can tell Cap that.

Actually, maybe Cap
doesn't need to know

about any of this.

First rule of being
a private detective...

...no one needs to know anything.

Guess it's time to go.

I have that train to catch.

I'll walk you to the station.

Off to challenge
Jack Dempsey, no doubt.

As a matter of fact, I am.

Good night, Mr. Hemingway.

Well then, uh... Ahem!

Good luck, Mr. Page.

Thank you.

What's with the notes? Thought
you already had your story.

I did, for the paper.

Something else in mind? A book maybe?

The thought had crossed my mind.

So many intriguing characters:

the dead man in the trunk,
the desperate millionaire,

the singing private detective...

I think

there's one character you
find particularly intriguing.

- And who might that be?
- I've seen

- the way you look at her.
- Frankie?

Her and I are oil and water.

- From the first moment I saw her...
- The Callahan case?

That's right.

From when I first saw her,
she... irritated me.

Well, just so you know,
the feeling's mutual.

Well, there you go.

But you know what they say
about opposites.

Oh, please.

Besides, she clearly has someone.

Let me tell you a little secret
about Frankie Drake, Hemmy.

A relationship

with her can be very complicated.

Hold on.

Before we go out there...

Where we can't do this.
