Tony Cardinal, ex-racket boss, is talking to his butler, James, about what he should wear for his date this evening. Tony asks "James, what color tie do I wear with this?" James says "With a double breasted blue suit, Mr. Cardinal, I would suggest this one, a maroon tie with blue figures. Tony says "Maroon, that means red. I always thought that was some kind of a dope". James laughs a little and says "That word is moron, sir". Tony says "Well, I got this thing on. How's it look?" James says "Oh, precisely correct sir, precisely". Tony says "You know, sometimes I can't get over it. Me, Tony Cardinale, ex-racket boss, with a dozen English cut suits and an English butler. You know, this is really living ain't it?" James says "Why I imagine so, sir". Just then, the telephone rings. James answers it and says "Mr. Cardinal's residence". The voice on the line says "Is Mr. Cardinal at home? This is Miss DeLeo speaking". James says "Just a moment, Miss DeLeo". Tony picks up the phone and says "Hello, Honey". She says "Tony, I'm glad you waited for my call. I was delayed a bit. I'd like to go for a drive tonight, if you don't mind". Tony says "Who minds, we'll go driving forever if that's what you want. I'm buying a new car this afternoon. I'll get it, and pick you up at about 7 o'clock. Bye". Tony says "What a dame, Jamesy. She was the one who was here last night". James says "Yes sir. Wasn't she the one who seemed so concerned about some individual who disliked you intensely sir?" Tony says "Yeah, she meant Al Bailey. He's a skunk and who cares whether a skunk likes you or not as long as you keep out of his way". Meanwhile, on the outskirts of town, Al Bailey is talking to a guy named Mike who works for him. Bailey says "Now, do you know what you have to do?" Mike says "Yeah, I think so, I walk over to the car, start it up, drive past here, where you're standing, and start shooting". Bailey says "That's right, but you start shooting at that target on the other side of the road. Yeah, we're a million miles from nowhere out here and nobody will see or hear us".
