- I don't want to be disturbed, Miss Bishop.
- 'It's Mr Logan and Lieutenant Columbo.'

1:01:11
Erm... Well, tell them...
Tell them to come in.

1:01:18
(Whistling)
1:01:25
Ah, gentlemen.
1:01:27
Er, I hate to interrupt like this, Mr Stanford,
but Miss Bishop said you were in.

1:01:32
So I am. What can I do for you?
1:01:35
Quite a surprise. I went to your old office
but they told me you moved in here.

1:01:40
Lieutenant, would you come to the point?
1:01:43
Certainly. By the way,
Miss Bishop seems unhappy.

1:01:47
Did something go wrong?
1:01:49
I've no idea.
1:01:51
Erm... Could you explain the reason
for your interruption?

1:01:55
Oh, yeah. Well, I came to get you
and Mr Logan here.

1:02:01
It's a funny thing,
I found him cleaning out his desk too.

1:02:06
- Whatever for, Everett?
- I've been fired.

1:02:08
Fired?
1:02:10
Oh, I find that very hard to believe, Everett.
1:02:14
Do you? It was your aunt's request.
1:02:17
- She wouldn't even talk to me on the phone.
- Obviously, it's a mistake.

1:02:20
Obviously. We were rather close,
if you'll remember.

1:02:24
You wouldn't have any idea
why she has changed her mind about me?

1:02:27
No, no. None whatsoever.
1:02:30
Of course, it is a family corporation,
1:02:32
so she has every right
to do whatever she chooses.

1:02:36
Er, this must have fallen over.
1:02:41
Lieutenant, you take an inordinate length
of time to come to the point.

1:02:46
Well, I heard from the people
at the Pinewild sheriffs office.

1:02:51
They're going to meet us at the grade.
1:02:53
I'm awfully sorry.
Perhaps Mr Logan could go along

1:02:57
but I'm afraid I'm just much too busy
this morning to go for a long drive.
