Besides, he just moved into town

and he's staying at the Pere's Pension.

- That dump by the park?

- Yeah. But it's temporary.

Be nice.

At least let him drive you home.

You're right.

So I'll see you at home in 30, okay?

Okay. Okay, stop.

You know I want to

but it's Roommate Night.

And she lives for this sh*t.

You had to live

with the consummate good girl.

- I know. I'll make it up to you. I promise.

- Yeah.

Bye.

Hey, Cat.

Let's get this night going.

Cat?

Cat?

- Hey.

- Hey, baby, it's me.

- You can turn back around.

- You're kidding me.

It's Roommate Night.

No, she's not here.

I guess she got lucky.

Good for Cat.

It had to happen sometime, right?

- I'll see you soon.

- I'll be there.

Bye.

It's after 4:
00.

She never does this.

She never goes home with a guy unless

she's dated him for a month at least.

Maybe she did.

No.

I mean, we're talking about Cat.

Come on, you know her.

No, I'm just gonna run over there

real quick.

- Over where?

- The Pere's Pension.

Oh, come on, Lise.

You're overreacting.

- Hi, I was wondering if I could...

- Sorry. All the beds are full.

But...

Now, don't you find it strange

that for a full hotel...

...we haven't seen one person

come or go in over two hours?

Yeah. But, I mean, we're not even sure

that Cat went anywhere near that place.

She's my best friend. She doesn't do

anything without telling me.

And the last person that saw her

is staying there.

I mean, come on, Dan, she hasn't called

all day. That never happens.

Can't you just use your badge?

Lise, I work for the Health Department,

okay? Not the police.

My badge is useless.

Look at that place.

I mean, can't you make something up

just to get in there and see?

Just to see if she's in there.

Hi there.

I'm sorry, I can't help you.

All of our beds are full tonight.

That's all right, sir. I'm actually...

I'm from the Health Department.

Just need a moment.

How may I help you?

Well, the neighbors were complaining.

They're getting some vermin from here.

We just wanted to let you know

before a formal complaint was made.

- The neighbors, huh?

- Yeah.

That's interesting.

Like I said, it's nothing serious as of yet.

Sir, will you pardon me for a moment?

- Yeah.

- You can go ahead...

...and wait in the gaming room.

It's a metal scope Victrola.

It's very old.

And priceless.

What's it do?

What does it do?

Well, it plays a song.

And at the end, you get a surprise.

Well, go on. Try it.

Oh, no, no. That's okay.

Try it.

Okay.

Where did you find this thing?

Well, I come from a long line...

...of entertainers and performers.

You know, lovers of the laugh.

Hey, this is Dan. Leave me a message.
