A toast.
:03:08
Dear sir...
:03:11
I give you... our divorce.
:03:24
Well, it's not really a divorce.
:03:26
Sure it is. Come on. Let's be honest.
:03:28
I mean, there's no alimony,
but it is a termination.

:03:33
Ah, yes. And our dear little children.
:03:37
All 15 of them.

To the lady who made it all possible,
the greatest sleuth in the world,

:03:46
Mrs Melville, whom we brought to life

- Why can't you?

:04:38
- It's in San Diego.
- It's a couple of hours' drive.

:04:41
I'll have you home before midnight.
:04:43
I promised Joanna I'd take her
to dinner and a show.

:04:46
That's easy. Pick up the phone and say,
"I'm working late at the office."

:04:50
We'll get there, uncork another bottle
