:27:03
- I told you not to call for a week.
- But I was worried.
:27:06
That's just free-floating anxiety, dear.
Now, relax. Everything's going just...
:27:13
I'm terribly sorry.
No, I simply don't have time.
:27:19
Well, Lieutenant.
:27:21
Gee, I wish you wouldn't hang up.
Somebody you don't know calls...
:27:25
I get a dozen calls a day
just like that from would-be artists,
:27:29
from ladies who want to evaluate some
stupid little print their aunts left them...
:27:34
You mean, that was a woman?
:27:36
Yes, and it wasn't any ransom call.
:27:40
Now, I have a museum to go to,
then a dinner, then a lecture.
:27:45
I was hoping we'd have a little time to talk.
:27:48
We can get together later if you like.
:27:51
I've gotta take my make-up off, anyway.
May as well do it now.
:27:56
Fine, thank you very much. Er...
:27:59
- So this is a television studio?
- Yes.
:28:01
- Quite a place.
- A barn, really.
:28:04
- Not as glamorous as you expected, I bet.
- It isn't.
:28:07
But things aren't really
what they seem to be, are they?
:28:11
My, how observant you are.
:28:13
Hildy, my beauty,
how fast can we get this paint off me?
:28:17
I'll use high-speed turpentine.
:28:19
Anyway, I'm sorry to bother you here,
but you haven't been home much.
:28:24
That's too bad.
That tap on your phone isn't helping us any.
:28:28
I'm not your only possibility.
:28:31
Maybe you don't know
my uncle was married once.
:28:34
His ex-wife is still listed in the phone book
under her married name,
:28:38
so the thief could very well
be trying to contact her.
:28:41
I saw Mrs Mathews this morning.
We're watching her phone too.
:28:46
Oh, that must have been some interview.
:28:49
- Aunt Edna can be trying.
- I thought she was nice.
:28:52
Oh, she's very nice, but trying.
:28:55
Well, you said you had
some questions you wanted to ask me?
:28:59
Nothing important, just a few details.
