Johnny Dollar.

Matt McCracken, Johnny.

How's the weather in Palm Springs?

A blonde and a bikini just melted past my poolside window.

Goodbye now.

Oh, don't hang up.

Johnny, this job's just a few miles north of where you are.

It'll take maybe a day to clear it up.

Yeah, you said that last Christmas, Pat, and I got trapped in a blizzard. This season, I soak in the sun. Happy New Year. John, boy, we have a bonus list in this office. Your name could be on it. Near where I am, huh? It's a ghost town named Calico. An old prospect named Kringle is breathing his last up there. I thought old prospect has never died. He wants to change the beneficiary on a $50,000 policy, but a nephew, Ned Kringle, threatened suit if we let him. So you contact our agent, Gene Craig and Barstow. Who's the new beneficiary? Uh, Carmen Kringle. Kramer? A borough. A borough?

Yeah.

If I don't hear from you, Johnny, Merry Christmas.

Bob Bailey, in the exciting adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account.
