Gumshoes, Carmen Sandiego and her flock of fleecing flunkies have done it again. This time, they put the whammy on Wiltshire, England. Around 4,000 years ago, ancient people built the circle of huge slabs called Stonehenge. No one knows who they were or what they were doing, but at certain times of the year, the position of the stones line up with the rising and the setting of the sun and the moon. So Stonehenge may have been an astronomical calendar or maybe an ancient observatory. But today, it fell into the metallic mist of Robocrook. He stole every pebble of the monument and stomped off across Salisbury Plain. Gumshoes, you've got to bring in Robocrook, bring back Stonehenge, and then bring an end to the career of Carmen Sandiego.
(on phone) Greg, please come into my office.
Yes, ma'mm. I'll be right there. (her phone starts ringing) You guys stay here. I'm gonna-- I'm gonna check with her. I gotta catch the phone. (enters the office where he discovers that she is missing) Yeah, Chief? Chief! Well, the Chief isn't here, but I better answer this phone. (clears throat and picks it up) ACME Crime Net!
This is your Chief.
Oh, hi, Chief! Where are ya now?
I am unavailable, due to classified business. I have left these taped voicemail instructions. Please dial 1 to continue.
Voicemail! I love voicemail. All right. (he dials 1, then looks at the Chief's papers) What's this?
Please do not touch my papers! Listen up!
(puts down the Chief's papers) Yeah.
1st question: How close are you to catching Carmen Sandiego?
Dial 1 for: We got her,
2 for: We're extremely close,
or 3 for: As usual, she's evaded us 3 times, and we look like dopes.
Oh, I guess that would be 3. (he dials 3)
Well, I'm not surprised. 2nd question: How should we encourage the Gumshoes to work harder?
Dial 1 for: Threaten to fire them,
2 for: Poke them with sticks,
or 3 for: Offer the one who catches her a free trip anywhere in North America.
(applause)
Hmm... Ah! That's a tough choice. I'm gonna go with 3. (he dials 3 again)
Thank you. Inform the Gumshoes. 3rd question: How should I terminate our discussion?
Dial 1 for: Tell you you're a great guy,
2 for: Offer you a raise and a big office,
or 3 for: Set you up with my gorgeous cousin, Gladys.
Ooh! Uh, I'm gonna go, uh, 3-amundo! (he dials 3 again)
I thought you'd choose that one. Greg, go away. (disappointed, Greg hangs up)
You know, I don't need her. I'll dial Information. I'll get Gladys' number myself. That's no problem. (he dials Information and picks up the receiver)
(on phone) Hello. Information.
Uh, yeah. Calling for Gladys.
Gladys Who?
The Chief's gorgeous cousin.
Who's calling?
This is Greg.
Greg?
Yeah?
Go away. (the phone clicks, and Greg hangs up and exits the office)
