[Simon Brimmer finds Ellery Queen asleep in the control booth after his radio show finishes its broadcast]

Simon Brimmer:
Sorry that we bored you.

Ellery Queen:
Oh, no, not really. It was a excellent show.

Simon Brimmer:
Oh, come now. You dozed off on the first commercial.

Ellery Queen:
Oh, really, I'm sorry. I - I usually have a better attention span, but I've been up for 48 hours trying to finish my new book.

Simon Brimmer:
Ah, deadlines. We have those here, too, which is why I need your help.
