Dr. Caldecon: [crying]
Professor Halloway: I know, I know.
Dr. Caldecon: I just cant believe this is happening.
Professor Halloway: I know, I know.
Dr. Caldecon: Everyone loved George.
Professor Halloway: Im sure that the police will get to the bottom of this Amanda.
Dr. Caldecon: But who could have killed him? Who could have done it? Who? Who? Who?
Frank Gannon: [approaches scene of crime] Thats what Im here for maam. Frank Gannon, PI. Lets take a look at the body. [Glances at body, pause] I must be in the wrong place, the captain said a professor had been shot.
Professor Halloway: Thats right, professor Atkins.
Frank Gannon: But this is a black man, this is obviously a drug related crime. Im looking for the body of a college professor.
Dr. Caldecon: He was a professor.
Frank Gannon: Maybe you should take a closer look, this is clearly the body of a black man.
Professor Halloway: I know, this is the body of professor George Atkins, a college professor who happened to be black.
Frank Gannon: Oh oh I see, a professor of black studies?
Dr. Caldecon: Excuse me, I dont know why you would make that assumption, he was a professor of history.
Frank Gannon: Oh I see, black history.
Announcer: [as music plays] Frank Gannon, PI PI, politically incorrect private investigator.
Frank Gannon: Well anyway whatever kind of history he taight, hes history right now, and Im here to find out why hes history. So if you could just direct me to the professors widow, Id like to ask a couple of questions.
Dr. Caldecon: Im the professors widow.
Frank Gannon: Oh, by widow I mean the woman who was married to the professor, I mean the black woman.
Dr. Caldecon: I was his wife, I was married to the professor for 12 years.
Frank Gannon: Oh ok I see hippies? Now Mrs. Atkins-
Dr. Caldecon: Dr. Caldecon!
Frank Gannon: No I mean you, Mrs. Atkins.
Dr. Caldecon: No my name is Dr. Caldecon.
Frank Gannon: Woah, woah, hold on a minute here. I thought you said you were married to this Atkins guy.
Dr. Caldecon: I was I just didnt take his name.
Frank Gannon: I see, because hes black?
Dr. Caldecon: No! Are you an idiot?
Frank Gannon: Lets calm down Mrs. Cal-
Dr. Caldecon: Dr. Caldecon!
Frank Gannon: Hold on a minute now honey, you mean youre a doctor?
Dr. Caldecon: Yes.
Frank Gannon: Oh I see midwife?
Professor Halloway: Dr. Caldecon is one of the finest orthopedic surgeons in this country.
Frank Gannon: Oh now who are you?
Professor Halloway: I am professor Halloway.
Frank Gannon: Oh I see, now Im supposed to believe theres two black professors?
Professor Halloway: Amanda, Im sorry, Ive done all I can. [walks off set]
Frank Gannon: Alright Dr. Caldecon, let me see if I have this correct. He broke into the house, he startled you, you shot him.
Dr. Caldecon: He lived here!
Frank Gannon: Why would he break into his own house?
Dr. Caldecon: He didnt break in!
Frank Gannon: Then why did you shoot him?
Dr. Caldecon: I didnt shoot him!
