Phil: Came from China, what can you say?
Phil: Oop, I’m not supposed to write that.
sarabell2: What did he eat for lunch?
Mike n Rachel in DC: The conspiracy theorists are on it already…
Rush: “In Honolulu schools, E not symbol for excellence.”
Rush: Inspector Duff saves the day.
Phil: “E” is for enough of covid talk. We’re in 1940 right now.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Seems like a nice guy…
Rush: Grade scale was A, B, C, D, E, and F.
Dave: Character of Duff is in one of the lost films, I believe

Rush: The “Southland.”
Mike n Rachel in DC: Yes…and this one is tough on the can inventory!
Phil: It’s in-cog-NEE-toe.
Rush: It is!
Rush: And, he is!
Phil: I think the fastest body count starts in CC in Egypt.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Rush, there should be a Chan trivia quiz…
Rush: Yes, Mike!
Phil: I’m watching the movie on Youtube on my TV. Picture quality is good. Usually I watch on DVD.
Dave: Do we know the biggest body count…?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Sinister figure lurks outside window…
Rush: Phil, you might be right, but “The Jade Mask” has to be close!
Rush: Got him!
Godwinshelley2: NEVER turn your back to the window in Charlie’s office
Mike n Rachel in DC: 7:00 for this one
Rush: Garroted!
Rush: Yes…7 minutes in.
Phil: Cue the can
Mike n Rachel in DC: Seems like Jade Mask/Egypt might beat that
Matt1: <tin can>
Rush: We need the official announcement.
Dave: Duff trailing strangler…uh…
Phil: I maybe living a second or two in the future Rush.
Rush: So far, it’s an “attack.”
Rush: Jimmy’s roadster that we saw in “Honolulu.”
Rush: Isn’t this character similar to another we saw in an earlier film?

Dona: connecting door opens?
Phil: Right, we always leave the door between rooms unlocked.
Mike n Rachel in DC: That could be embarrassing…just sayin’
Rush: Maybe it was unlocked after the discovery of the murder?
Rush: The house detective probably unlocked it.
Dave: Looks like he ordered pay per view movies in next room!
Phil: Whoa, tmi.
