Charlie

How'd you like your little tour of duty?

It ranked right up there with abscessed teeth.

Charlie

Not too much, huh?

No.

Well, let's put it this way Charlie. The next time duty calls, let's let it call somebody else, huh?

We’re all invited to the premiere.

Charlie

Wonderful, I’ll see you there.

Charlie, you mean you’ll come with us?

Charlie

I mean, I’ll see you there.

Yes Charlie, but will we see you?

Charlie

You might, you know I love the movies.

Ah Charlie, how will we know it’s you?

Charlie

I’ll be wearing a tuxedo.

Charlie, all the men at the premiere will be wearing tuxedos

Charlie

That’s showbiz.

Charlie

Oh, by the way, Kelly. I've arranged a little surprise for you.

Oh really? Let me guess. A week in Pango Pango.

Charlie

No. Not quite. I'm giving you flying lessons. What do you think of that?

I think before I answer that, Charlie. You'd better give me that week in Pango Pango. That way my answer will be much less painful to you.

Charlie, you don’t mean to say that we are going to be wallowing in all that luxury.

Charlie

I don’t believe wallow is quite the word Kris. You’re going to work there as an exercise instructor.

What about me Charlie?

Charlie

You’ll take your expertise into the diet kitchen, Sabrina. Nothing like the thirty calorie chocolate mousse to raise moral.

Ah, the galley slave. How about Kelly?

Charlie

Somebody has to be a guest.

Teachers pet.

I’ll wave to you.

She just thinks that being mayor is boring and she wants Uncle Paul to deputize her.

Charlie

She’s not serious

Oh yes she is.

Hey, I think that’s a good idea Kris. You’re uncle could deputise two or three of those ladies, give them assignments by phone, let them do all the work and he just lays back and relaxes.

That is an absolutely preposterous idea

Charlie

I agree Bosley, totally absurd.

It would never work.

No of course not, I don’t know any woman who would accept something like that. Do you?

Absolutely not.

Charlie

I'm glad your back, Angels. I hope your brush with high education was beneficial.

Well if Blackmore is typical, I understand why they call it a finishing school.

Yep. It seemed like some of those girls were majoring in mayhem and blackmail.

And minoring in lying, thievery and intimidation.

Charlie

We’ve been hired by Dana Cameron’s parents to find Dana’s killer. Notice anything Angels?

How could we miss noticing Charlie?

It’s Kelly almost to a T.

Really? I don’t think she looks that much like me.

In that pose she’s a dead ringer. Sorry I wasn’t trying to be funny.

You weren’t.

You heard that, Charlie?

Charlie

Everything, Sabrina. And I've already made arrangements for you three to go to prison

Prison? You've got to be kidding, Charlie.

Charlie

It's no joke, Angels.

You can say that again

Ah-ah Kelly, you know that Charlie does not like to answer personal questions.

Charlie

That’s true, however I take no offense Kelly. It’s just that thoughts of my marriage tend to remind me of the fellow who woke up one morning to find out he was dead. It ruined what otherwise could have been a beautiful day.

Charlie

I was about to explain that your empire was having some trouble lately.

TTony

Trouble? I would call it calculated disaster.

Like what?

TTony

Equipment breakdowns, arson, busboys walking out of the club on New Years Eve, you name it I’ve had it and now they’re killing off the centrefolds.

Charlie

That’s where you come in.

As centrefolds?

Charlie

Kelly, when you took this job you knew there’d be a lot of undercover work.

That’s not undercover! That’s not any cover at all.
