What have you done now?

You'll end up in an asylum!

Asylum! Asylum!

- Did they steal your cat?

- Yeah.

So it's true. Last night I saw someone run across

the garden, with a cat wrapped in a blanket.

A black figure.

Look what I got to remember him by.

I tried to stop him and woke up

fifteen minutes later.

You watch out! This time I'm armed.

This way.

The bread we agreed on,

well I've decided it ain't enough.

And here, you can have your toy back.

I've had it, see.

First I gotta play dead.

Then I gotta risk my neck with these nightly visits.

And to top it all off,

that disgusting business with the cat.

But now, a real killing - that maid.

Ok, so she found out.

Did you have to kill her?

We made a deal, sure.

But nobody said anything about murder.

Oh, can I help you?

No. Guess I made a mistake.

I was looking for Arrosio, private investigator.

No wait, that's me, private investigator.

Oh.

You see... Well, never mind.

Oh no, don't go. I'm waiting.

Well, it's a bit risky, and I don't...

Ah yes, and you're thinking this fairy

is gonna jump on a chair...

...and scream bloody murder

if he sees a mouse. Right?

- Yes, that's what I thought.

- Oh, you heterosexuals.

I don't suppose you've ever had a

homosexual experience?

- Let's forget it, man.

- Yes, we are men too, you know...

- Just a little different.

- That's very comforting.

Who's paying? You?

What's he had?

Steak, three sandwiches,

two eggs and a bottle of bear.

Guess he wasn't hungry.

Thank you.

I'm not sure I believe you.

Your story's awfully shallow.

Can't think of a better one.

You know, this case is a real challenge.

Fortunately the odds are in our favor.

- The odds?

- Exactly.

You see before you a fully fledged,

highly qualified private investigator,...

...with an extensive knowledge of

modern science at his very fingertips.

And in spite of this, in three years of honest

practice I haven't solved a single case.

- Not even one?

- Not even one.

Interesting, isn't it?

- I suppose so, but it might mean that you...

- It means that, statistically speaking,...

...one of the most impressive records of

failure is destined to be broken.

A fantastic record! Incredible!

A record like that couldn't possibly last.

I could just sit in my office

and wait for the criminal show up.

Please don't do that.

Oh no, I'll take a very personal

interest in your case.

What do you want?

Please, inform the mail man not to

leave any more of this filth at my house.

Had any trouble with your wife?

- Other women maybe?

- No.

- Any money in your family?

- No, nothing.

Your wife maybe?

- Well, she was left a fairly large inheritance.
