Ladies and gentlemen, the ringing of that phone bell brings you mystery adventure.

Hello, I'll Rick's office.

Yes, who's calling?

Mr. Sean Windsor?

Well, is this a matter of business?

That's fine, I'll just call him.

Mark. I'm not here. Tell him I'm up in the plant room with the orchids.

I was going to call him to the phone, but he's up in the plant room with his orchids. What sort of a case is this, sir? Really? Really, is that so? Is it a man or a woman? Oh, I understand perfectly. It's a man. Well, at least that's something different. Yes, sir, very urgent, I understand. And I assure you, Mr. Alrek, will be here waiting for you. The fee? Oh, shall we say about, oh, a thousand? I will not see any kind until after dinner. Come at once. What were you saying, boss? Nothing but business. All the time.

What's the problem?

I don't know.

And at $1,000, considering our bank balance,

I'll help him poison his great-grandmother.

You asked him to Iraq.

The judge is gone.

What are you doing? What are you doing? That is not painful by them. That is painful by the people of Detroit. You might be qualified, M.L. I'm not qualified for this job. Let me tell you something. You want to go right now? Okay? You want to go right now? Hey kids, it's your old pal, M.L ML Elric, and as you can tell, we are hard up for cash if we would poison somebody's grandparent for $1,000.

Just so we're clear, that wasn't really me.

That was Mark suggesting that.

You never know.

Close to death, anyway.

I guess if they were at a very dire prognosis.

A weird place to start.

I don't know.
