From Hollywood, it's time now for...

Johnny Dollar.

George Reed here.

Ah?

Hey, now listen, George, if Floyd's of England keeps handing me cases, how can I work for the other insurance companies?

Well, what I'm calling about this time isn't really a case.

So what?

As long as the company pays my expense account and and maybe a nice little fee to boot? Uh, fee. Sure. Well, I'm not even certain you'll need an expense account. Oh, then, now, wait a minute. Johnny, Johnny, I think you'd better come over here to my office so that we can talk about this. Well, I don't want to sound ginsie, George, but a cab to your place will cost me over a buck. Oh, well, uh, that can go on the expense account, of course. Good. Then as long as we've established the expense account for this thing, whatever it is, I'll see in a few minutes. Well, now, there's no hurry, Johnny, so just take your time. Huh? I said, take your time about getting here.

Yeah?

I'll be right over.

Following as an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the cautious celibate matter.

Okay. account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the cautious celibate matter. Wait a minute. Over the phone, George Reed did not tell me what he wanted to be for.

Also, he very plainly said not to hurry. Hmm. I don't want a dollar 20. No, may get a buck and a half for a taxi down to his office. Hmm. I don't want $1.20. No. I might get a buck and a half for a taxi down to his office.

Go right in, Mr. Dollar. Mr. Reed's expecting you.

Okay, thanks.

Oh, come in, John. Yeah.
