Rush: Yes, Matt! remember how a long time ago, TV commercials were typically 60 seconds long?

DanVenture: I wondered what all the music was about…

Rush: And there were two at a time.

Rush: Yes, DV.

Rush: That gave local stations the time to run their commercial sppots.

Louise has joined this room

Louise: Hey Chan Clan!

Fredsmom: Hi Louise!

Matt1: Hello Louise!

Fredsmom: I love that SB!

Rush: The end…

DanVenture: Got a taste of the radio Chan voice

DanVenture: At least

Rush: I am not tsure that the next radio drama next week continues this story. The other parts might not exist….

sarabell2: So what kind of dog do you have now?

Fredsmom: He was my furbaby I loved with all my heart. I do have 2 daughters, however! so Im REALLY Lindseysmom and Kourtneysmom! ๐Ÿ™‚

Rush: So, as we have done for years, we will dedicate this evening’s film viewing to the memory of her father…

sarabell2: Oh that is so sad. I just went to a viewing yesterday. Was he sick?

Louise: I hope she looks at this chat and can see our condolences.

Rush: He seemed to have taken a turn for the worse, and that’s why GS drove again back to Indiana to see him and her mother.

Rush: 6 1/2 minutes to go…

Louise: GS has been doing so much travelling to see them.

hounder: the change will be hard for her mom

angel & phox: You’ve got us now.

Phil & Mrs Phil: At the rate he’s sucking in that cig, he’s gonna’ die of cancer before they hang him.

angel & phox: She got her hat in a pie contest.

Rush: The Prison Matron, whom we will catch a glimpse along the way, was Mrs. McMasters in “The Black camel.”

Dona: lol

angel & phox: Future Eddie Haskell.

Louise: Pie? Did someone say pie?

sarabell2: He is!

Rush: Looks like him, doesn’t he?

Phil & Mrs Phil: He does look like him, doesn’t he?

angel & phox: Everyone should have a Home Secretary.

Dona: yes a & p

Rush: There in the background.

Phil & Mrs Phil: Rush, you’ve got to stop reading my mind.

angel & phox: Doesn’t he? We need to get Broderick Crawford to put out a BOLO.

Louise: The thoroughly horrible coat

Rush: Yes, Phil?

Rush: ๐Ÿ™‚

sarabell2: Looks like roadkill

angel & phox: “Merely the mouthpiece of the state”. A bit unsanitary, eh wot?

Dona: i think it’s a dress Angel

Louise: Yes sarabell!

Rush: Agreed!

Dona: you were right Angel

Rush: Fainted.

angel & phox: Dona, you usually hit the nails on the beans. I defer to your expert tease.

sarabell2: She is devastated but her hair looks nice

angel & phox: Leon Trotsky woulda been good here.

Rush: Tasteful hat.

angel & phox: I mean Leon Ames. Actually, Trotsky too.

Dona: When she stood up i could see that it was a coat

Phil & Mrs Phil: Give her another coat, if you want to help

angel & phox: She just had her chin repointed.

Louise: She’s gruesome

Dona: yes

Rush: “They say the head was almost severed from the body…”

sarabell2: You all are so funny

Rush: Just a touch of “silent” acting earlier.

angel & phox: Sarabell, it’s all because of you. You step away, poof!

angel & phox: I want to see the Away Secretary.

Rush: This is our first look at Chan since “The Black camel.”

Mike n Rach in DC has joined this room

sarabell2: I am a fan of your humor. you cannot tell that I am laughing here

Rush: We can see how far Oland has developed the character!

hounder: hi m n r

Rush: Mike and Rachel!

angel & phox: British Lion owes CC L168 and counting.

Mike n Rach in DC: Wafting in via phone…

Rush: WELCOME!!!

Phil & Mrs Phil: Sarabell, I haven’t been here in months. When did you arrive at this forum?

Rush: Happy you were able to make it tonight!

Mike n Rach in DC: We too!

Dona: Hi Mike n Rach

angel & phox: M & R!!! Sit on our ottoman, or ottomen!

Fredsmom: Hi Mike n Rach!

Phil & Mrs Phil: Wash your hands Charlie.

Rush: One of our biggest gatherings in a while, tonight!

hounder: charlie shows off his deduction skills

angel & phox: Are you snow-dusted, M/R?

Len Freeman: How many film between Black Camel and London?

Phil & Mrs Phil: Hi M&R

Rush: Yes, Hounder!

angel & phox: Goodbye.

sarabell2: Because I get whatever that sad thing is in the winter, and CC cheered me up. And I really enjoyed Rush’s site. He makes CC very real.

Mike n Rach in DC: We are movieless at the moment but that canโ€™t deter the Chan clan.

angel & phox: “immediately she returns”. Infuriating manners of speech.

Rush: Len, “The Black Camel ” from 1931…this one, 1934…

Rush: Between “Camel” and “London” there were three films that are now lost.

Mike n Rach in DC: We are slightly ensnowed Angel.

angel & phox: M & R, you shall be on the Queen’s List. When she gets it she’ll send you the Queen’s Movies.

Phil & Mrs Phil: So are we Angel

Len Freeman: So some good time for Oland’s development of CC

Mike n Rach in DC: We bow and curtsy appropriately.

Len Freeman: Can feel the difference between this and Camel

Phil & Mrs Phil: Not for long, Neal

Mike n Rach in DC: Hi FM!

Rush: “Charlie Chan’s Chance” (1932), “Charlie Chan’s Greatest Case” (1933), and “Charlie Chan’s Courage” (1934).

Louise: Camel seems so raw to me, like the beginning of a cake that is not yet baked

Len Freeman: Ray Milland was also making a Bulldog Drummond film about this time

Rush: “Begin at beast place – beginning.”

Rush: (best)

Rush: Oh, those typos!

Mike n Rach in DC: Agreed Len. โ€œLondonโ€ feels much more like the series is established.

Rush: Nice dragon-patterned silk robe on Chan.

angel & phox: Phil & Mrs.Phil, this seems to be a wide one. I am in Boston & we are a few inches deep in partly cloudy.

Rush: Note the ring Oland wears.

Rush: The jade “Buddha” ring.

angel & phox: Accord here too. The Chan style seems defined here.

Phil & Mrs Phil: We’ve only got a couple of inches. It’s snowing now, making the roads tricky.

angel & phox: Where are you, Phils?

Rush: Note the door sticks soon…

Rush: As it is thrust open.

Phil & Mrs Phil: East of Pittsburgh by about 40 miles.

Louise: No? You bum!

Fredsmom: good eye Rush

angel & phox: Rush, was the sticky door an oversight?

hounder: drama queen much?

Phil & Mrs Phil: Latrobe, PA, actually.

Rush: Yes, always try to stick up for your future in-laws!

sarabell2: A & P we had a weatherman here, he got a call from a woman telling him to come shovel the 6 inches of partly cloudy off her driveway.

Rush: Meanwhile…at the manor…

Dona: lol

angel & phox: I love this kinda music.

hounder: where phill? i grew up outside pgh

Rush: Yes, Angel!

Mike n Rach in DC: It would be so much better if she didnโ€™t snoop on the conversation…

hounder: lol2SB

Rush: Agreed, Mike!

Fredsmom: lol

Louise: Swell and keen are words we don’t use enough

Mike n Rach in DC: I miss โ€œcool.โ€

Phil & Mrs Phil: Latrobe’s the closest “big” town hounder.

angel & phox: Latrobe!! They still have glass-lined tanks? Before i straightened out, i slipped the Rolling Rockers enough do-re-mi to pay for more than a few of those tanks.

Dona: I like them all

Rush: nappy – (Mainly British) Of a horse that is jumpy or irritable; nervy.

sarabell2: I say Oh swell all the time. It beats 4 letter words

Rush: Boar’s head above the fireplace…

angel & phox: And bully spelt backwards is yllub. In case you try to welsh.

Rush: YESm SB!

Mike n Rach in DC: Unless you spell it swel

Phil & Mrs Phil: I’ve got a moosehead in the basement.

Rush: I usually go for “DRAT” a la WC Fields!

angel & phox: Those buttons came from the Santa suit in Seasonal.

Phil & Mrs Phil: Sideboob there. Sorry, couldn’t resist.

angel & phox: DRAT is good.

Rush: Angel: ๐Ÿ™‚

Dona: lol

Dona: better coat than before

Rush: Note the butler?

angel & phox: Punch her ticket. Cancel her. Give her the cracked claw.

Rush: “Mr. Smith” from “The Black Camel.”

sarabell2: Love WC Fields. He hated Philly, grew up there. Learned to juggle so he would not starve to death, he was 9.

Rush: Murray Kinnell.

Phil & Mrs Phil: Yeah Rush, he had a brother who was a beachcomber. Got shot.

angel & phox: TYSM!

Rush: Yes, SB!

Phil & Mrs Phil: They were identical twins.

hounder: i know where latrobe is. i grew up in plum and worked with several guys who lived in latrobe

Louise: The butler!

sarabell2: Yes, I have noticed MK, his brother was the cutest thing. Had a wild Hawaiian sweetheart

angel & phox: SB, i was just talking Fields with a Young Person today! Described The Bank Dick, extolled its ending (“A hearty handshake”)!

Phil & Mrs Phil: I thought your accent sounded familiar hounder.

angel & phox: How much do you require, Mum, 500? A thousand?

Mike n Rach in DC: The butler did it! (Sort of)

Rush: Very tragically, the child of an actress who is in “Charlie Chan at the Olympics” drown in a pond at WC Fields’ home. Katherine Demille.

Louise: nice entrance, Charlie

sarabell2: WC was fascinating. Handsome when young.

Rush: Yes, Louise.

Fredsmom: did not know that Rush

hounder: pifflesnort is also a good substitute

angel & phox: Rush, i never knew the name, or perhaps forgot it. Was she any “relation”—?

angel & phox: All over the ‘ouse!

Mike n Rach in DC: Does Hounder say yinโ€™s?

Rush: I think that I saw it when looking at information for Kathering Demille.

hounder: used to say youse guys

angel & phox: “Richmond” gives him The Look.

hounder: lol then i graduated to y’all

Phil & Mrs Phil: I really mangled it – used to say “younz guys.”

Louise: Bunny

sarabell2: We even say youse down here. But we do not say PEOPLE!

Mike n Rach in DC: My family is from Hazleton…more east but still many fun expressions.

Rush: “DeMille married actor Anthony Quinn on October 2, 1937 at All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills.[15] They had five children: Christopher (1939-1941), Christina (born December 1, 1941), Catalina (born November 21, 1942), Duncan (born August 4, 1945), and Valentina (born December 26, 1952).[16] Their first child, Christopher, was found drowned in the lily pond of W.C. Fields at age two.” (From Wikipedia)

Louise: Back in the days when people knew how to dance

Rush: forgot that her husband was Anthony Quinn!

Fredsmom: Very interesting Rush

angel & phox: How many English manors had how many antlers per manor?

Rush: 57 hours…

sarabell2: Thank you Rush

Rush: Angel, probably as many as the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin…

Mike n Rach in DC: However many, Angel, it was tough on the antlered population…

Rush: Yes!

Rush: The movie “Godford Park” (from around the year 2000), has a connection with this movie!

sarabell2: We had a neighbor who was anti gun. I asked her how that deer head got up there above their mantle. I was not asked back.

Rush: (GOSFORD)

Rush: Another typo…

angel & phox: M & R, i don’t doubt Rudolph himself kept an Airborne Sombrero (J.Peterman, $95 in grey or buff).

Rush: ๐Ÿ™‚

hounder: lol@sb

Mike n Rach in DC: Oh dear. A mouse appeared from under our stove.

Phil & Mrs Phil: Some people just can’t handle the truth sarabell.

Dona: I love that movie Rush. What is the connection?

Rush: Understood, Mike.

Phil & Mrs Phil: I know I know!!

Mike n Rach in DC: SB…sometimes they die of old age on our very doorstep.

Rush: We have some of the same uninvited guests appearing in our new home, as well…

angel & phox: Sarabell, i would ask your hand if my boyfriend was not jealous & licensed.

angel & phox: It

Mike n Rach in DC: Rachel. Broom… Mouse flees.

angel & phox: (sings) It’s a long way, to Tucumcari…

Phil & Mrs Phil: Did you move Rush?

Rush: Butler not too pleased wuth Chan.

sarabell2: I own guns but do not care if you do not want one, but her lack of logic got me

hounder: lol@angel

Rush: Not yet, Phil…we move in mid-June…after school is done.

Mike n Rach in DC: A d logic is useful when operating firearms…

Phil & Mrs Phil: Illonois right?

Louise: To the stables!

Phil & Mrs Phil: Illinois…or however you spell it.

angel & phox: Thank you both, H and SB. I value good humor & bonhomie above all, liberty next, & i despise self-serving inconsistency.

Mike n Rach in DC: Time to โ€˜op in me loose box.

Rush: Iowa.

angel & phox: M n R, i’m going to REPORT that remark!!

Rush: Actually Illinois is just across the river from us.

angel & phox: I BEG YOUR PARDON!

angel & phox: “Head Lad”—this is just getting WORSE!

Rush: “What the DEUCE!!!”

hounder: laughter is good medicine

Louise: Tonight our conversation is like a swirling tornado!

Mike n Rach in DC: That sounds like a Rodgers and Hammerstein song, Rush

angel & phox: Ummmmmm…

Rush: Yes and yes!

Phil & Mrs Phil: Yes Louise, as usual I’m paying more attention to what we’re writing than the movie.

angel & phox: Gotta love The DEUCE! Hate The Drake.

angel & phox: AVALANCHE!!

hounder: normal when there are so many of us louise

Rush: Here comes Lake.

Louise: Sounds like gunshots

Phil & Mrs Phil: IT’S A HORSE NOT A COW!

Rush: An “old friend” of ours.

Rush: We saw him in “Behind That Curtain.”

Louise: Crazy guy in several movies?

Rush: We will see him in “Charlie Chan at the Race Track.”

angel & phox: “He can do anything with her”—Does this film have a SUBTEXT we should have a script for?

Mike n Rach in DC: But itโ€™s an โ€˜orse

Rush: As the Ship’s Steward.

Fredsmom: tomfoolery akin to “shenanagans”?

Rush: Bunny’s turn to spak up!

Rush: Speak.

Phil & Mrs Phil: Yeah but that guy’s head is still mostly attached.

Rush: Mostly, yes!

Mike n Rach in DC: There is vast potential there Angel.

Louise: I talk like that all the time

Rush: Don’t light a cigarette next to Bunny!

Phil & Mrs Phil: I’m sure we don’t want to get into all the possible scenarios M&R

angel & phox: M n R: That’s what we prudes are afraid of.

Fredsmom: Ha!

Mike n Rach in DC: Woosh

Rush: Tonight we have a “Number One Horse Boy.”

Rush: Next week, we have a “Number One Son.”

Fredsmom: I just realized no Chan son in this movie…..

Mike n Rach in DC: I mean..like โ€œWickedโ€ a la Chan

Phil & Mrs Phil: Nice, isn’t it.

Rush: Mike: ๐Ÿ™‚

angel & phox: I don’t wonder that #1 Horse Boy did not continue as ensemble cast member.

angel & phox: ‘orse is rahthah quiet, even for a noble animal.

Phil & Mrs Phil: I wonder if they realize the horse is listening to everything they say.

Rush: ๐Ÿ™‚

Mike n Rach in DC: How about the story for all of the characters that DIDNT make the grade?

Fredsmom: Haha Phil n Mrs!

Rush: Lake is nervous…

Phil & Mrs Phil: Mrs Phil wants to know “where’s the knife?”

angel & phox: Wonder if she chops her own firewood.

angel & phox: THIRD ref to “noble animal”!

Rush: The knife was probably returned to its original location.

Mike n Rach in DC: Clue!

Louise: Noble animla 5

Rush: Yes!

angel & phox: FOUR! —“Cat of hell”. ANOTHER DUPLICATE HORSE DEAL??

Rush: “Noble Animal” count!

Louise: noble animal 6

angel & phox: No. I am really the—

Mike n Rach in DC: Horses are noble?

Rush: I would be mostly in agreement with CC in that regard….

Louise: Ya think she has a thing against men???

Rush: Noble: possessing outstanding qualities. I think it fits!

Mike n Rach in DC: The maid, Louise?

angel & phox: But FOUR TIMES, Rush??

Fredsmom: love the shape of the doors in this movie

Mike n Rach in DC: Or CB perhaps the King always was on a horse?

angel & phox: FDR was a noble animal. I think the 4x bit should be reserved for him. Cap at three.

Rush: Would he have thought he’d be in a movie called “Hot Rods to Hell” in about 30 years?

Rush: Thacker.

Phil & Mrs Phil: CUE THE CAN!

angel & phox: MORE antlers!

sarabell2: I notice doors too, Fredsmom

Rush: Matt?

Rush: I think we can say it’s official.

angel & phox: Players Club card.

Phil & Mrs Phil: Matt must be living WAAAYY in the past.

Mike n Rach in DC: stealth can perhaps

Rush: “Mr. Chang…”

Rush: “Money talks.”

Mike n Rach in DC: Doesnโ€™t show up on radar either.

angel & phox: “Conclusions jump at me”

angel & phox: Let’s try anyway. Let me get my boyfriend’s piece.

hounder: ..

Rush: Or…he could’ve held the gun upside-down to shoot himself!

angel & phox: Do you polish your shoes with that mouth, Constable?

angel & phox: Up to now.

Phil & Mrs Phil: Hey Charlie, you’re a little late not letting the murderer know.

angel & phox: TYSM!

Rush: “Thank you so much.”

angel & phox: No salt on his tails.

sarabell2: How bad was the countryside that this guy is the Constable?

angel & phox: I gotta hire her.

Rush: ๐Ÿ™‚

Mike n Rach in DC: I wonder what the search process is like to hire a constable.

Fredsmom: ha to Angel n Phox!

Rush: Yes, SB. We can see Thacker’s lack of experience.

angel & phox: Sarabell, they’d had a crime wave so bad they got Ethel Merman to sing its theme. The Constable was persuaded to leave Miss Merman’s employ. By Miss Merman.

Rush: Probably not too much happens in the countryside beyond an occasional poacher.

angel & phox: RAD plaid!

angel & phox: Poached or fried, them rabbits is delish!

Rush: ๐Ÿ™‚

Mike n Rach in DC: It ainโ€™t over until Ethel sings.

Rush: Hush money.

angel & phox: I want some hush money.

Louise: HUSH money? He was too noisy for that.

Rush: Exactly, Mike!

Rush: In the case of the Flyers, it didn’t START until she would sing!

Phil & Mrs Phil: DanVenture you haven’t said anything all night.

angel & phox: You could burn a manor down tossing those things.

Rush: Or…was that someone else!

Dona: Angel my grandmother used to make rabbit. I wouldn’t touch it. No way I was eating a bunny.

Rush: Dona…I would agree.

angel & phox: What the deuce—?

Rush: We have a pet bunny.

angel & phox: TYSM!

angel & phox: THEY have a pet Bunny!

Rush: She gave us a big health scare a week ago.

Rush: Better now.

sarabell2: Did it have any more seizures?

Rush: Yes, Angel!

Rush: They do.

angel & phox: Al Cowlings?

Louise: She is being eaten by that fur

Mike n Rach in DC: I have a great recip for Hasenpfepper…if both my e era becomes annoying.

Rush: No more seizures.

Rush: Thankfully.

angel & phox: Louise, it DOES seem to grow on her. A fuzzy goiter.

Phil & Mrs Phil: That’s the BIGGEST caterpillar I’ve ever seen.

angel & phox: Remember Fuzzy Zoeller?

Mike n Rach in DC: Oh yes

Rush: “Do you really think I should go?”

Phil & Mrs Phil: Being high strung seems to run in that family.

hounder: that’s a monster fur collar

Louise: P&MP: yep

Fredsmom: Poor bunny…sorry to hear it was sick

Dona: YES

angel & phox: TWO Drama Queens where NONE are needed!!

Rush: TYSM, FM.

angel & phox: How much would you like? 500? A thousand?

Phil & Mrs Phil: Get lost Neal

Rush: She’s doing very well now. back to her old self!

Rush: Hopefully that will continue!

angel & phox: You could roast a radio in that fireplace.

Fredsmom: yes!

Rush: “Frequent state of mind for detective.”

Mike n Rach in DC: Fingers crossed Rush.

Rush: TYSM, Mike!

angel & phox: He’s wearing that collare turned-up just to show off that his bowtie isn’t a clip-on.

Rush: Definitely a member of the family!

Dona: More fur

angel & phox: (Chan sings) “Tutti-fruti! Oh, rootie…”

Rush: She talks a lot of sense.

Louise: Yes, we have started the season of the furs

sarabell2: A & P you made me cry laughing with that one

Mike n Rach in DC: You can make Hasenpfeffer with chicken instead of rabbit. No one will know. (Except for bunny). ๐Ÿ™‚

Rush: True, louise.

angel & phox: I would have piled empty cans at the door.

Rush: Right between CC’s thumb and forefinger!

Mike n Rach in DC: White phlox phur?

Rush: Looked like a top-hatted attacker!

angel & phox: EXCUUUUUUUUUUUUUSE please!!

Rush: VERY cureous missile, indeed!

angel & phox: An early Tetragene-delivery system.

Rush: The “Buck Rogers” design!

angel & phox: Maybe ’twas Noble Animal.

Phil & Mrs Phil: How could he have shot at Charlie then have enough time to get into his smoking jacket?

angel & phox: Rush: Buck was showing up everywhere then, huh?

Rush: At least Thacker didn’t ruin the fingerprints.

Louise: I have been reading old Buck Rogers comics!

Mike n Rach in DC: Is there a tactful way to say, โ€œWow. You have a big missile?โ€

Rush: Yes, Angel, he was known to “pass” from place to place…

angel & phox: ‘e can’t write a-tall.

Dona: lol

angel & phox: Wilma D-ring anywhere around?

angel & phox: Constable got a wit like a steel trap.

Rush: A bit rusty, perhaps…

angel & phox: Wild bird, you make my heart—what’s a rhyme for “bird”—?

Rush: He favors that notebook.

Mike n Rach in DC: Once it snaps shut it wonโ€™t reopen…

Phil & Mrs Phil: Not the last time we’ll hear that.

angel & phox: Fox turns head in this part.

angel & phox: I’da gone away in The Rolls-Royce meself.

Mike n Rach in DC: Bird …nerd

Rush: Someone’s listening…

Phil & Mrs Phil: It’s the horse.

angel & phox: Picture the manure.

Rush: ๐Ÿ™‚

Rush: There is an intersting scene change coming.

Mike n Rach in DC: Manicure?

Fredsmom: ๐Ÿ™‚

angel & phox: And good in the sack.

Rush: The two scenes are connected by the sound of a plane flying over.

angel & phox: Manicure most delicate when noble animal in chair!

angel & phox: NOoooooooo!

Louise: Hamilton? Those tickets were so expensive…

angel & phox: Louise:     

angel & phox: “a queer chap”?

Mike n Rach in DC: It was a device to make horses fly silently.

Phil & Mrs Phil: Don’t go there Angel

Rush: Yes, Angel…in the original meaning…

angel & phox: I don’t know we want to hear, here, how far he went with it.

angel & phox: I’m there already.

angel & phox: Drift caught me.

Phil & Mrs Phil: The stupidest explanation I’ve ever heard.

Rush: Intersting faces sitting on the mantel.

angel & phox: Two heavy bookends could simplify matters wonderfully here.

Rush: The one looks a bit Rondoesque.

hounder: are those initials on her sweater?

angel & phox: Ain’t got time to take a fast train.

Rush: Okay, Angel…the FOX CHASE!

angel & phox: I watch alone!

Mike n Rach in DC: Go fox, go!

Rush: They never learn…if you have information…give it QUICKLY!!!!

angel & phox: Those could be initials of ALL her beaux.

Rush: 120…coming up!

Rush: Shot in Thousand Oaks area, Dona?

Louise: Is fox hunting now banned?

Rush: I think it is, Louise.

Dona: Oh, I know that area

sarabell2: They need to switch to coyote hunting here

Mike n Rach in DC: Mr. Chan I have the most vital information to communicate. Unfortunately I must allow the villain enough time to assassinate me…

Rush: Didn’t it look like it could be that area?

hounder: lol@m n r

angel & phox: Somebody call the fox! Tell him we turned around!

Rush: Exactly, Mike!

Rush: Bed pan.

angel & phox: Good job Gloomy Gwendolyn wasn’t Attending this time.

Phil & Mrs Phil: Where did the studio get all the actors with British accents I wonder.

Dona: Yes, now that you say it, it defenitly does.

Mike n Rach in DC: Is that the kind of camera technique used here Rush?

Rush: Sadly, probably an actual dead horse was used here.

Phil & Mrs Phil: It could have been hypnotized.

Dona: We used to ride motorcyles out there.

angel & phox: Phil, Mrs. Phil, let’s ask Rush: was Hwood not rife with expatriate Brit actors in the ’30s?

Rush: Yes, Dona?

angel & phox: Hamilton had a Burr under his saddle.

Mike n Rach in DC: This scene and Race Track are the low points.

Rush: Tricky proposition, Mike!

Rush: ๐Ÿ™‚

angel & phox: UH-OH.

Louise: All you guys…

Rush: Each suspect glances at the next one!

Louise: in this room are guilty

angel & phox: Softly softly catchee Aristocratic monkey!

Phil & Mrs Phil has left this room

angel & phox: Hit him again.

Rush: They must be on suicide watch.

Rush: Dropped I think.

angel & phox: (enter left, BEAVER): Hey, Eddie!

Mike n Rach in DC: Suspense!

Rush: 5 AM….

Mike n Rach in DC: Recalling his silent appearance at the beginning…

DanVenture: Phil: We could add to the list to quit when they start detecting: Chan, Wolfe, Holmes, etc.

angel & phox: FIVE—SIX—“noble animal”!!

Rush: Are we up to 10 “Noble Animal” statements?

angel & phox: PEPPAH!

Phil & Mrs Phil: It’s 7 noble animals.
