Thank you for listening. The National Broadcasting Company presents Dick Powell as Richard Diamond, private detective.

Son, you're coming along, Diamond.

Yeah, I'm beginning to be sorry myself.

You should be.

We're heading for open sea.

Looks like it'll be a long ride.

You don't know how long, Diamond. We're getting into open sea. Looks like it'll be a long ride. You don't know how long, Diamond.

We're getting into open water!

You're about to go swimming, deep sea style.

How far is it to the shore?

About five miles now.

I can make it.

With a hole in you?

And here's another exciting half hour with Richard Diamond, private detective, starring Dick Powell. You know, that's pretty bad, that is. Oh, my goodness. Walt? Yeah. Well, what can I do for the shining light of the 5th precinct? You can get right down here. I want you to do me a favor. I'm not going to help Sergeant Otis cross the street again. Tell him to get a governess. This has nothing to do with my brainy sergeant. Now, will you come down? Well, all right. Business is slower than a drunk turtle, so I'll be there in ten minutes. Thanks. Forget it, forget it. You know what I always say, Walt? No, what do you always say? Bye. Well, sometimes that's the way things get started.
