At any rate, I don't mind
being sent out on a false alarm.

:22:09
I just hope that this is one
because she had a right to call.

:22:14
You see, she got this message.
:22:18
Here, I'll show you.
:22:21
Message?
:22:22
He called just before I got home
from the opera board meeting.

:22:26
That was at 7:30.
:22:35
Er... Maybe you better operate this.
I'm not sure how it...

:22:38
All right, Lieutenant.
:22:40
You can tell that he's calling from a car.
:22:43
You can hear it on the recording.
:22:48
(Woman on tape)
'This is a recording device.'

:22:52
'Would you care to leave a message?'
:22:54
(DL) 'Oh, these modern, idiotic devices.
She's not home yet.'

:22:58
- 'Quincy, look in the dash there, will you?'
- Dash. You hear that? Dash. From the car.

:23:03
(Woman) 'Your voice will be recorded
until you hang up.'

:23:07
(Quincy) 'Nope.
What's the matter with Benson?'

:23:10
'Your cigar case isn't in your coat pocket?'
:23:12
(Woman) 'You may start your message.'
(DL) 'Yeah, er... just give me the box.'

:23:18
'Thank you. Hello? Hello, darling.'
:23:21
'It's me. Hold on just a second.'
:23:23
(Quincy) 'Shall I pull over and open that?'
(DL) 'No, it's all right. I got it.'

:23:28
(DL groans on tape)
:23:31
'Er, look, I tried to get you
earlier today, darling,'

:23:35
'but you were
at one of those silly committee meetings.'

:23:38
'Miss Bishop couldn't get you
from the office.'

:23:41
'But what I was calling about -
I'm on my way up to the cabin now.'

:23:45
'So I'll see you tomorrow,
no, Sunday, rather,'

:23:49
'Sunday afternoon or evening sometime.'
:23:51
But what I wanted you to know
:23:54
is that Roger is going to come over
to see you tonight.

:23:58
He wants to talk to you about something
