Didn’t realize we had a private detective here to trace the guy on the way to Phoenix or expose him as a fraud. His gal was still going to be in tears, though.

How do you get there? Let me tell you friends, how do you get there! You take the San Diego Freeway to the Ventura Freeway. You drive to the Slauson Cutoff, get out of your car, cut off your Slauson, get back in your car, then you drive six miles till you see the Giant Neon Vice-Squad Cop.
