- You certainly didn't do me any good.

I'm terribly sorry.

- Ah, Mr. Hogan?

- No, uh...

Uh, yes. That is...

I'm Mr. Hogan's partner.

Is there something I can do for you?

Why, yes...

Well, suppose you tell me

about t.

Won't you sit down?

You see, I've never had the occasion to use

the services of a private detective before.

Oh, of course not.

My, er... partner is very busy.

Working on a case.

- Well now.

- Well...

Well, certain stories have come

to my ears concerning my wife.

Up to a short time ago we were

very, very happy and then...

Well, perhaps you'd better

see for yourself.

What the hoots...

So what's the idea?

Who are you?

You ask me?

And you call yourself a detective?

I'm your new partner.

My partner?

Say, your face is familiar.

It ought to be.

It's been around a lot.

What are you doing in my office?

Office, I thought this was your bedroom.

I just told you, I'm your new partner.

Aw, now, I ain't got enough business

to share with a house fly.

When I get through here you'll have so

much business you'll have to incorporate.

Money! Believe it or not,

it is money!

Say, it's so long since I've seen

any money...

I forget whether you eat it

or eat with it.

Until you and I have a little understanding

you don't do anything with it.

Now get this.

You've got a license to be

a private detective, haven't you?

- Uh-huh.

- But you haven't any clients.

Well, I have a client but I haven't

any license.

- Well?

- Well...

Am I your partner or do I take

my business elsewhere?

You really got a client, huh?

Look.

Okay, we go in together.

Now what's the case?

Get a load of this.

This woman's husband is president

of the Columbus National Bank.

He wants to know where she spends

her time while he's in conference.

Say, this is right in my lap.

I'll handle this case personally.

That's fine.

I was afraid you might turn it over

to one of your... staff.

Oh, that's my new...

my new partner.

I might have known it.

Known what?

That you were a detective the minute

you stepped on my feet.

This is Amy Moran, my secretary.

Sure, secretary.

He ain't got anything to do and I see to it

that he don't forget anything.

Hey, what does that look like to you?

Cigar coupons.

That happens to be money.

Oh, yeah? Well, I wouldn't know

about that.

Well, make yourself comfortable.

I got a lot of work to do.

Boy, this is some job, this is.

Say, how about a twenty for expenses?

You know, I'm still wondering

where I've seen you.

Suppose you put that under the head

of homework.

Right now you've got a case to handle.

Right.

Atlantic City next stop.

Just as easy as that.
