Manhattan Murder Mystery Page #2

They haven't got a thing to go on.

Not too much.

Just 26 years experience and this

hunk of concrete in my stomach.

- That movie was great, wasn't it?

- It's one of my favourites.

- They were wonderful.

- Who could we fix Ted up with?

- There must be somebody in your office.

- Ted?

- I thought Ted had a crush on you.

- Me?

- Why are you so stunned?

- I adore him, but he's like a girlfriend.

- Now he's divorced, you know?

- Do I detect a note of jealousy?

- I had to come and call 911.

- What's the trouble?

- Is that the EMS?

- What's going on?

- She had a heart attack.

- Oh, my God.

- She's dead.

- She's dead?

- Dead.

- They're giving Mr. House a sedative.

She was the picture of health.

- I called EMS, but it was too late.

- We just met her last night.

- Awful, just awful.

- What happened?

It was a classic coronary.

She went like that.

- Boy.

- Can we do anything?

You can be good neighbours.

We've calmed him down.

The first time we saw them was

last night. We just met them.

- They invited us in for coffee.

- Such a nice lady.

Sweet person.

- God, okay.

- You look wonderful.

- Oh, hello.

- Hi.

- Hi, Mr. House. So sorry.

- Thank you for those flowers.

- It was nice.

- Sure.

- Lf there's anything we can do...

- Anything.

It's just such a shock.

It was just so sudden.

- She seemed so healthy.

- She had a heart condition.

She did? She never mentioned it.

- Well, she wouldn't have.

- No. Right. Well...

- If there's anything we can do.

- Anything.

If you're lonely, come by. Whatever.

- You owe me a French dessert.

- I haven't forgotten. Believe me.

- Have a nice time. You're gussied up.

- We're going to the opera.

- Enjoy.

- My favourite.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Come, we're gonna be late.

The deal was, I sit through the game

and you watch the opera.

I can't listen to that much Wagner.

I start to get the urge to conquer Poland.

I think it's weird. One night she's

having coffee, and the next she's dead?

I know. And she did not look like

she was ready to go.

Maybe he killed her.

Like he's got a young tootsie.

You gotta see this guy.

This guy gets his jollies from

licking stamps. He's a boring...

I can see that. Depending

on who is on the stamp.

She never mentioned

she had a heart condition.

Well, what is she gonna say?

"Hello, I have a bad heart. "

She told me about her hysterectomy.

It's easier to talk about a

hysterectomy than a heart condition.

She liked desserts.

Is that what you said?

So she had one too many.

No! She wasn't on a diet.

We discussed diets.

- She wasn't on a diet.

- This is a great way to kill somebody.

- How?

- You clog their arteries...
