Gentleman in black tie: Mr. Colby. I was walking down the street one day.
Carlotta: Yes I agree Miss Cairo
Allen Colby: Make sure to use SIDE B!
Lady Tiny: I am always on Side B
Gentleman in black tie: I might ask, with trepidation, “Does anyone really know what time it is?”
Lady Tiny: Does anyone really Care?
Carlotta: lol
Eve Cairo: does anybody really care?
Sgt. Reynolds: Don’t worry Miss Tiny I can run you over to the beach on my motorcycle.
Carlotta: The spirits will guide us.
Gentleman in black tie: Ladies. We are, perhaps, dating ourselves.
Allen Colby: We care, Miss cairo!
Sgt. Reynolds: Yes Black tie. But it’s only that time in my time zone.
Lady Tiny: We date ourselves because no one else will date us
Carlotta: lol
Allen Colby: Good one, Lady Tiny!
Gentleman in black tie: I see. I’ll just tidy up the drawing room.

Phil & Mrs Phil: What’s our time, please?
Lady Tiny: I wonder what the Phils thought when they saw all these weird names! And if I remember correctly, they did the same thing last year???

Gentleman in black tie: No, Gravelle. Just a couple of mediocre arias.
Allen Colby: That works!

Phil & Mrs Phil: Yes yes yes, I did the same thing last year.
Gravelle: Who are you calling mediocre?

Eve Cairo: I just wish I was as cool as that cigarette holder
Lady Tiny: Yes Eve
Gentleman in black tie: She is sooo cool.

Gentleman in black tie: EEEEEEEEE
Eve Cairo: true!
Gravelle: I promise not to look
Gentleman in black tie: too late…
Gravelle: ugh
Gentleman in black tie: I KNEW I should have got those boxers
Allen Colby: “Knock, knock”
Sgt. Reynolds: Fortunatly a gentleman doesn’t dress and tell.
Sgt. Reynolds: “Who’s there?”
Allen Colby: Jimmy nearly got it!
Gentleman in black tie: It’s all about the garters, Sgt.
Lady Tiny: This is actually a spooky movie!
Carlotta: lots of thunder
Gentleman in black tie: It’s a perfect combination of Chan, film noir and comedy
Allen Colby: “McBirney.”
Sgt. Reynolds: Don’t worry Tiny I don’t just protect women in swimsuits at the beach. Only mostly:)
Gravelle: I’m surprised they didn’t here Jimmy yell
Gentleman in black tie: Wow. She is cute.
Allen Colby: yes, Gravelle!
Lady Tiny: Sgt. Reynolds, I m ay have to report you
Allen Colby: Tom “Spiro” Agnew.
Gentleman in black tie: Bluebeard of Paris.
Sgt. Reynolds: I’ll put your report in my report. Kashimo make note.
Gentleman in black tie: Arrested in 1919.
Gentleman in black tie: “Mr. Chan. Ich bin hier.”
Allen Colby: Gentleman, he’d be lost in the kaliedescope of hair colors today!
Gentleman in black tie: Rock? “I AM A ROCK. I am an island…”
Allen Colby: 🙂
Lady Tiny: Are we singing again?
Sgt. Reynolds: Rock and Roll
Gravelle: I only sing opera
Allen Colby: Law firm.
Lady Tiny: Why is she biting her hand?
Gentleman in black tie: Yes, Lady T. This movie is lame in terms of musical score. Sort of an audience participation event…
Allen Colby: Tending to a small wound.
Lady Tiny: Yes, we provide our own music!
Eve Cairo: “just a scratch”
Gentleman in black tie: *raises eyebrows seductively* “It’s just a little blood, Mr. Chan”
Allen Colby: Von Brom has the proverbial light bulb go off!
Sgt. Reynolds: Well he did play a werewolf.
Gentleman in black tie: Yes, Ms. Cairo. Perhaps one could probe beyond the ‘scratch?’
Lady Tiny: Painful memories…I have these…from all the times I was nearly stepped on by tall people.
Gentleman in black tie: You are among friends now, Lady Tiny.
Sgt. Reynolds: Is that what got you into being such a talented dancer Tiny?
Eve Cairo: absolutely!
Lady Tiny: I always have to look up!
Allen Colby: The new warden.
Allen Colby: 8:18…
Allen Colby: 8:19…
Gentleman in black tie: Won’t that plastic thing melt if he throws the switch?

Lady Tiny: fall already
Allen Colby: He fell.
Kashimo!: psssst…<tin can>
Phil & Mrs Phil: cue the can
Allen Colby: Thank you, Kashimo!
Allen Colby: Well done!
Gentleman in black tie: Very bad form to have marshmellow roast at execution.
Lady Tiny: So that’s where the music went
Gentleman in black tie: …but clearly worst aspect of lethal injection…
Allen Colby: yes, by why waste all that electricity?
Allen Colby: (but)
Lady Tiny: darts, again. How many real dart murders there ave bene?
Allen Colby: Oh, those Dyak headhunters!
Allen Colby: Good question.
Sgt. Reynolds: Sorry Mr. Colby Dyak is outside my jurisdiction.
Gentleman in black tie: Mr. Colby: I believe this is similar to the apparatus your son used at the haunted house.
Allen Colby: There was an ATTEMPT with a dart on Charlie Chan in “Charlie Chan in London.”
Gravelle: Wasn’t there one in the Jade Mask?
Allen Colby: Then, there was the dummy dart device in “The Jade Mask.”
Gentleman in black tie: True, Mr. Colby, but that dart was the size of the Queen Mary.
Gentleman in black tie: Looked like the Graf Zeppelin
Allen Colby: A dart is a dart, sir! It’s all poison to ME!
Sgt. Reynolds: Not many. There are notes on the poision dart frog, bit not poision art murder.
Gentleman in black tie: Poison? Or Poisson?
Allen Colby: AH!
Lady Tiny: I am inside…I am the only one who can fit.
Allen Colby: The mechanical chess player….JIMMY!
Eve Cairo: POP
Allen Colby: Yes, lady…but Jimmy managed somehow!
Sgt. Reynolds: Here Black Tie, just take this pill, and don’t worry about it. 🙂
Allen Colby: Shoplifting at automat.
Lady Tiny: Jimmy learned some twisty tricks from Sue Toy
Allen Colby: Through Lee!
Gentleman in black tie: Lady Tiny: This is a family show.
Sgt. Reynolds: Shoplifting? To my motorcycle!
Allen Colby: The “Lady in Black.”
Lady Tiny: Yeah a family show, but my family is more bizarre than yours. Circus folks after all.
Allen Colby: Mrs. Joe Rocke.
Sgt. Reynolds: Long as the permits are in order let the circus commence
Eve Cairo: haha LT
Allen Colby: Thank you, Sgt. reynolds!
Allen Colby: “The show must go on!”
Sgt. Reynolds: Just doing my duty.
Lady Tiny: Mrs. Rock, Mrs. Boulder, and Mrs. Dirt walked into a bar…I can’t remember the punchline.
Allen Colby: “Suspicion is only toy of fools.”
Allen Colby: Jimmy deserts his post.
Allen Colby: The Chan figure.
Allen Colby: Nice dreary, stormy night!
Sgt. Reynolds: Which will of course be completely unimportant, and never come up again.
Gravelle: Slap!
Allen Colby: We shall see, Sgt.!
Allen Colby: You have the badge, though!
Sgt. Reynolds: True, but I’m out of my jurisdiction. Not as much as Chan or Kashimo though
Allen Colby: “Red” Maddox.
Phil & Mrs Phil: “Evil Choir Boy”
Allen Colby: Jimmy comes through.
Lady Tiny: Trap door!
Allen Colby: Dr. Cream, caught in a lie, starts talking up a storm!

Allen Colby: MacBirney will NOT be happy with Miss Latimer!
Allen Colby: Butcher Dagan.
Lady Tiny: tonga?
Allen Colby: Tonga!
Sgt. Reynolds: Headquarters has called me in. Before I leave anyone care to guess what my other name is?
Lady Tiny: Gee Sarge, I’m stumped
Allen Colby: “NO! It was my brother, BRYL!”
Sgt. Reynolds: Well with no guesses I guess I was just………….Nothere:)
Allen Colby: “I don’t know, you idiot!” Or… “I don’t know you, idiot!”
Eve Cairo: I almost guessed that!
Lady Tiny: I tried Nothere!
Carlotta: very good Nothere
Sgt. Reynolds: Happy Halloween and see you all later. Whoever you are.
Eve Cairo: nice job nothere
Allen Colby: YES!
Allen Colby: Had me stumped, too!
Sgt. Reynolds has left this room
Allen Colby: I should probably remind everyone that next week, it’s MELBOURNE CUP NIGHT!
Allen Colby: Another lights out situation!
Lady Tiny: Time for gambling
Kashimo!: Pop!
Allen Colby: Dr. Cream obviously had a key to the cuffs.
Allen Colby: Yes, lady Tiny!
Allen Colby: And, our film will be: “Charlie Chan at the Race Track.”
Lady Tiny: I guess 3 times Pop has used that same trick
Allen Colby: We have been doing this since the beginning…2000.
Allen Colby: And, the winner receives the silver half-dollar!
Allen Colby: Now…back to our murderous finale…
