Script:
Dan Diamond, private eye. Actually, this one's my private eye. This one will look at anything. I was working late at the office. Actually, I couldn't leave because I couldn't find my shoe. And suddenly, she stumbled through the door. Is this yours? Ah, my shoe. I've been looking all over for that. Here, let me help you up. Are you Dan Diamond, the private eye? That's me. Actually, this one's my private eye. Never mind that. What can I do for you? It's my husband. Sometimes he disappears for days at a time. What does your husband do? He's a magician. Sounds pretty serious. A disappearing magician. Your coffee, Mr. Diamond. My coffee? Sticky, you went out for coffee this morning at 7.05. It's almost 8 p.m. I took the wrong train. For 12 hours? I took it twice. Never mind that, Sticky. We've got a case. This lady's husband keeps pulling a Houdini on his curfew. Is it possible that he's unfamiliar with the local rail system? Ah, Dan Diamond, my friend. So good to see you. Have we met? No, but I see your billboard. I am Diego Escarcega, and I have need of your detective services. Sticky, sign him up for next Tuesday. I'm on another case right now, Diego. Dan can see you next Tuesday, Diego. Let me show you what train not to take. Would you like this cup of cold coffee? Ah, cold coffee. My favorite. What about my husband? Who disappeared? Well, tell him I can't see him. I've been hit by a car. You're in the wrong place, pal. The ambulance chaser is a block up the street. I can drive you. I have nice car with rich Corinthian leather. Or you can take a train, but don't take that one. Tune in next week to Dan Diamond, Private Eye, when we hear Sheila say... Dan, you forgot your shoe!
