Dennis:
Let me get this straight if I can. What you're saying is that a Beverly Hills psychiatrist, an Encino stockbroker, a San Marino lawyer and the biggest subdivider in the next county, all got together to do an old man out of three acres without the daughter's knowledge, but with her consent and full cooperation?
Jim:
I don't know if they all got together, Dennis, but they're all doing it to him.
Dennis:
There's nothing to tie them together and from what you said, I'd say the old man's right where he belongs.
Jim:
Okay, so his lifestyle doesn't help his case any. But since when is eccentricity punishable by torture? And besides, Muellard knew about the attempt on my life, which ties him to something. Or did you forget somebody tried to kill me yesterday?
Dennis:
Look, Jimbo, what can I do?
Jim:
Well, did you run a check on the nitrous oxide tank?
Dennis:
Yup. Dr. Fellows ran an inventory against supply and accounted for every tank. So there's nothing there. And Fellows is the director of Horizons Crest.
Jim:
Well, he's in on it, too.
Dennis:
Oh, good, now I can add a Woodland Hills doctor to your list of co-conspirators.
