LESSON 11 DO YOU KNOW THE VALUE OF THIS PACKAGE

SCENE ONE: THE MUSEUM OFFICE

NARRATOR: Last time on "Murder at Midnight". . .
DETECTIVE STEON: Where's Victor?
PHILIP: He left my office five minutes ago. He was going to the post office to send the treaty to a rich collector.
TONY: Where's he sending it?
PHILIP: South America.
DIANA: South America! Detective Stone, you have to stop him. . . or we'll never see the Stamford Treaty again!

SCENE TWO: THE POST OFFICE

VICTOR: I want to send this airmail.
POSTAL CLERK: Well, put it down. I have to weigh it first.
VICTOR: How much?
POSTAL CLERK: To Brazil? I have to look it up. . . Fourteen dollars.
VICTOR: And I need to insure it. Can you add that on?
POSTAL CLERK: Now hold your horses. First, you have to fill out this customs form. Look it over, fill it in, and sign it on the bottom.
VICTOR: What about the insurance?
POSTAL CLERK: Turn it over. There are instructions on the other side. . . Do you know the value of this package?
VICTOR: Believe me, I know the value of this package.
POSTAL CLERK: Write it down.
VICTOR: OK, I'm done. I can hand it over to you now.
DIANA: There he is!
DETECTIVE STONE: I'm Detective Stone of the Stamford Police. We have some questions for you.
VICTOR: Of course, Detective. I have nothing to hide.
DIANA: Where's the treaty?
TONY: Did you mail it?
VICTOR: I have no idea what you're talking about.
POSTAL CLERK: Hey, Mister, you can't send this! You didn't sign the customs form!
DIANA: Let's see if the treaty is inside.
TONY: Be careful. . . Tear it open at the end. Then you can pull it out.
TONY: Now pull these apart.
DIANA: The Stamford Treaty!
DETECTIVE STONE: You're under arrest!
VICTOR: I had no idea what was in there. Tate asked me to mail it.
TONY: It's no use, Chapman. Tate confessed.
VICTOR: If I get my hands on Tate, I'll kill him too!
DETECTIVE STONE: You killed Ben Morris. And you're going to jail for it.
TONY: Detective Stone, we owe you an apology. We didn't believe you were working on the case. We know better now.
DETECTIVE STONE: I learned something too. People like you can give me a lot of help. Thanks.
DIANA: Yes. I'm proud of you, Tony.
TONY: Thanks, Diana. We make a good team, don't we?
DIANA: Yes.
TONY: What'll happen to the museum now ?
DIANA: I'm going to run the museum myself. Do you think I can do it?
TONY: I think you can do just about anything. Come on. Let's celebrate.

LESSON 12 HERE'S TO WEFL!

SCENE ONE: THE STUDIO

STEVEN: Leave it on. I want to see the credits.
MIKE: No. I want to talk. We've seen enough credits.
RITA: Why don't we turn on the picture and turn off the sound? You can watch the credits, and we can talk. How does this work?
MIKE: Turn it to the left.
RITA: It went off.
MIKE: Oh. Pull it out first. That turns on the picture. Then turn it to the left. That turns down the sound.
LINDA: Why didn't Mary Beth come?
MIKE: I offered to pick her up in my car, but she didn't want to watch the show here.
STEVEN: I understand how she feels. It's embarrassing to watch yourself with a crowd.
RITA: Oh, speak for yourself. I don't think she was embarrassed to see herself. I think she wanted to watch it with her husband and children.
LINDA: Excuse me. I have to step out for a minute.
JEFF: I can't believe that was the last show of the season.
MIKE: Steven, congratulations to you.
STEVEN: Thanks, Mike, but I didn't do it myself. We should all pat ourselves on the back for a great job.
RITA: Yeah. I looked at myself in the mirror this morning and I said, "Rita, you deserve to pat yourself on the back. "And do you know what I said to myself?
JEFF: What?
RITA: Forget the pat on the back. Treat yourself. Go shopping.
STEVEN: You're going shopping now?
RITA: Why? Do you have a better idea?
STEVEN: Yes. Let's all go out and celebrate.
JEFF: Oh, no! I made other plans.
RITA: With Amy?
EFF: Yes.
MIKE: Why don't you bring her along?
JEFF: Well, we wanted to go out by ourselves.
STEVEN: Come on. Join us for a little while.
JEFF: OK. We will. . . Hey, where's Linda?
STEVEN: Why isn't she here?
RITA: She probably got lost.
MIKE: Rita, be nice.
LINDA: Hi, everybody. I just got some great news. We're going to do twenty-six shows next year!
MIKE: That's fantastic!
STEVEN: It's wonderful! I can't believe it!
JEFF: We really have to celebrate. . . And I guess I've really found my home. Here's to WEFL.
