Wonder Woman (1975–1979): Season 2, Episode 20 - The Man Who Wouldn't Tell - full transcript
A janitor is pursued by his employer and a rival company after discovering the key ingredient for a new explosive formula.
Roll the tape.
Tape rolling.
They're getting ready to pour.
Nothing.
They're no closer
to finding the formula
than they were five months ago.
'Oh, looks like they're
packing it up for the night.'
You know, I wish they'd either
discover that formula
or learn to go home
at a decent hour.
Who's that?
That's the new janitor.
The kid's name is Alan Akroy.
A student working his way
through botany school
or something like that.
Hm.
Ooh!
Look at that!
Why, that kid..
Discovered the formula.

'There's been a fire
in the Whitaker Building.'
Yeah, well,
I'm looking at the picture
in the newspaper right now.
The details
as to how the fire started
are a little sketchy.
Yeah, well,
that was intentional, Diana.
You see, uh,
it seems the Whitaker Building
housed a lab
where an industrial group
was developing a new explosive.
In the middle
of a business district?
Yeah, that's right.
According to our sources
this explosive was supposed
to revolutionize the industry.
'It was made up of very stable'
'easily packaged,
easily-handled chemicals.'
And only when it was combined
with an equally-stable catalyst
were they to become volatile.
Well, looks like
somebody found the catalyst.
Just who's behind all this,
anyway?
Hopewell International
must move, and move quickly.
The fire in the lab we were
using means we've succeeded.
It means, the product
that'll bring us billions
is finally within our grasp.
No, Rodney, I've been assured
the explosion
did not occur spontaneously.
Human hands were involved,
a human brain.
'Now, somebody
has inadvertently learned'
'the secret
of the Explo formula.'
Somebody whom we must find
and will find
'despite any and all
interference by our enemies.'
- You get me B.W. on the phone.
- Oh..
Now, who are the enemies that
warrant the use of such talent?
There are two.
The IADC
and Rudolph Furst Enterprises.
You're absolutely certain
that this Alan Akroy
caused the fire?
He was in the room
just before everything blew.
They didn't find any bodies.
It looks like he got out.
It also looks like
whatever he accidentally did
in that lab
is exactly what those
three Hopewell scientists
have been trying to do
for the past five months.
Yes, sir.
So it appears
that if we find Alan Akroy
and make him tell us
exactly what he did in that lab
then we can throw away all
of our surveillance equipment
and the Explo formula
will be ours free and clear.
The trouble is
that Hopewell knows
everything we know about Akroy.
And the IADC
would like nothing better
than to keep that Explo formula
out of
the free-enterprise system.
They've already employed
an agent.
- Diana Prince.
- No matter.
I trust you know
how important it is
that we be the first to find
this Alan Akroy.
Okay, you guys, there you go.
But I'm warning you right now,
it may be a long time
before anybody does this again.
Old Uncle Alan got himself
in some fix last night
about ten-million-bucks worth.
Oh, boy.
Cripes!
Holy cow.
Oh, geez, what a time to find
out how far you can go on $6.78
and one lousy change of clothes.
Come on, open up.
Oh, for Pete's sake!
I wonder if there's a law
against breaking and exiting.
- Good morning, IRA.
- Good morning, Eve.
Regarding Alan Akroy, have you
tapped all of the computers
in the Los Angeles area
that have the name Alan Akroy
in their memory banks?
Affirmative.
The IRAC computer
will now compile a profile
'outlining
the most likely behavior.'
- So we can predict his moves?
- That is correct.
IRA, is there anything
you can tell us now
that will help us find him?
According
to computerized records
he is yet to claim his laundry
at the Clean 'Em Up company
on Orchard Boulevard.
Great. If he's running, he'll
probably need those clothes.
I'll give that information
to Diana.
She should be landing
in Los Angeles
any minute now.
- Anybody home?
- 'Yes?'
Hi, um, I have a friend
who's got some laundry here
and I was wondering
if, uh, you could tell me
if he's, uh, got it yet.
Maybe. Name?
Akroy. Alan Akroy.
Akroy.
Uh, the name's not in the book
but, uh,
we can check out in back.
Come on. Take you on a tour.
Uh, what? Step into your parlor?
I bet you always wondered
what happens to your clothes
once you surrender them
at the door.
Well, actually,
I've, uh, always been
sort of a do-it-yourselfer
when it comes
to cleaning and laundry.
- Oh, really?
- Really.
- Do you wear polyester?
- No.
Uh, well, if you did, uh, this
is what happens to polyester.
- Well, that's very interesting.
- Yes.
And, uh, right here
is where we dry-clean
the acrylics.
You're not supposed to dry-clean
acrylics.
Oh, well, now,
whoever told you that?
Okay, now, wait a minute.
What's going on?
That's Diana Prince from IADC!
'Go get her!'
Diana, run!
Alright.
Why were you attacking
Diana Prince?
To-to, to get her
out of the way.
You're after Alan Akroy, too?
- Yes.
- Why?
Who are you working for?
Hopewell?
Furst.
Rudolph Furst Enterprises.
Rudolph Furst?
- Trevor.
- 'Steve?'
- Diana, how are ya?
- Well, I'm not sure.
Rudolph Furst just tried
to take me to the cleaners.
- 'You okay?'
- Yeah.
Those industrials
play for keeps.
- Hopewell and Furst.
- 'You got it.'
Furst is in this
up to his corporate wallet.
Yeah.
Now, there's a pair to draw to.
You better get over
to Furst Enterprises.
'I'm on my way, Steve.'
What about, uh, Akroy?
Um, I think
he's in over his head.
'You got a line on him?'
- Running.
- Any idea where?
- 'So far, just running.'
- Stay with it.
Bye.
Psst.
Psst.
Hey, come on, slow up, will ya?
- Alan?
- Yeah. Oh!
Look, don't-don't stop.
Just keep running. Keep running.
But slow up a little.
Hey, listen, I can't let
anybody recognize me.
- I'm in big trouble here.
- What's the matter?
Did you just get done
dumping somebody else?
Come on, this is serious.
I need help bad.
Yeah? Well,
why don't you go ask Barbara?
Or, uh, Susan or Sally.
Come on, Megs,
you're the only one I can trust.
No, no, what you mean is
I'm the only one you know
you can sucker.
What do you need this time,
money?
Hey, come on.
Slow down, will ya?
Okay. I could use 50 bucks.
- Oh, Alan!
- I have an explanation!
No, I don't wanna hear
your explanations.
They all begin with, "You see
I have just met this girl."
- Meg? Hey, listen!
- I can't hear you.
You know the Whitaker Building
that burned down last night?
I did that.
That's right. I did that.
- You burned down a building?
- Yeah. It was an accident.
- Well, then turn yourself in.
- Are you kidding?
That building cost
ten million bucks!
But if it wasn't your fault,
then it is alright.
Meg, these insurance companies
play for keeps, you know?
They'd like nothing better
than to pin this on somebody.
Those guys catch up with me
and I'm dead!
- Alan, this is ridiculous.
- Meg!
Oh, honey, I'm sorry.
Listen, Megs, honey, look,
all I want is a little money
so I can get out of town till
this whole thing blows over.
That's all. That's all.
After buying this disguise,
all I've got is $3.60.
Come on.
Well, baby, come on.
Help me, huh? Please? Please?
It would be worth $50, Alan
just to get you out of my life
once and for all.
Great. Oh, you're a doll, honey.
Alright, but I can't get it
until tomorrow.
Right. That's alright,
just keep running.
- Now, listen.
- What?
They're probably gonna be
watching you
in hopes that I'll make contact.
So when you get the money
this is what I want you to do.
Okay? You go to the airport.
There's an ash can
underneath a poster
right next to the phone booth.
- Good morning, IRA.
- Good morning.
- How are you?
- A value judgment.
I am not capable
of being anything but accurate.
'I am in Washington, DC.'
'What I am is a computer.'
'Why I am here is probably'
'the reason
you set me in motion.'
I'm sorry I asked.
Sorrow is also something--
Alright. Alright.
Now, are you familiar
with Hopewell Enterprises?
Of course.
And how about
Furst International?
Both have business
and scientific interests
on a global basis.
And what if I added the name
Alan Akroy?
'Am I undergoing an examination
of some sort?'
No, you're supposed
to be doing a profile on him.
Now, what do you know
about Alan Akroy?
'So far, about the same
as I know about John Smith.'
Look, IRA, I'm trying to help.
Now, he's involved with them.
The only reason I do not
function perfectly at all times
is because humans try to help.
Oh, boy. Just get me
the profile on Alan Akroy.
- If you would give me time.
- You got it.
- Tick, tock..
- Mm.
Tick, tock..
You're denying that you hired
the men who attacked me?
Can you prove that I did?
One of them admitted you did.
What Wonder Woman drags
out of people with her lasso
hardly constitutes proof.
I see.
So three men
who used to work for you
just happened to be
in the laundry
and just happened to attack me.
Is that what you're saying?
Oh, well,
how they spend their time
when they're not in my employ
is strictly their business.
Enough of the games, okay?
We both know
that we're both after Alan Akroy
who we both thought
was gonna be in the laundry.
Alan Akroy?
You and the way you do business
are loathsome, Mr. Furst.
Good day.
'The lady's visit
was not a long one.'
'Were you able to plant
the homing device?'
Yes, sir. I'll be on her tail
from, uh, from now on.
I'd advise you
to exercise discretion.
The wonders that bail money can
work are not infinite in number.
Hey, look, don't worry, alright?
She won't spot us.
Thank you very much.
Hi. Thanks a lot.
No problem.
You're heading my way.
Glad to help.
You got an appointment
someplace?
Huh? Oh, no,
I'm just headed out of town.
Well, I wouldn't worry about
catching your bus anymore
Alan.
Oh, I'm not gonna take a bus.
Hey!
Hey, how'd you know my name?
Hopewell International
has its ways.
- Oh, boy.
- Just relax!
And leave the driving to us.
No offense,
but, no, thank you.
Hey, listen, no lady private eye
is gonna get me!
So you're leaving town
but you're not gonna
take the bus.
IRA just finished his profile
on Alan Akroy, Diana.
And according to this thing
Alan will go into hiding
in Bakersfield
at the home of a distant cousin.
How does IRA think
he'll get there?
By plane. The very next
economy flight out.
Okay, Steve, I'm on my way, uh..
- Anything else?
- 'Yeah.'
IRA says Alan fell in love
with the theater in high school
and never quite
got off the stage.
So, uh, watch for disguises.
Terrific. Over and out.
'Last call for passengers
boarding on..'
- 'Hello?'
- Meggy? Hi, it's Alan.
Alan, why are you calling me?
Well, I wanted to know
if you put the stuff
where I told you to put it.
'Yes, it's in a trash can'
in a paper bag
underneath the mailbox
in front
of the Vista Airlines counter.
Right. Uh, Megs, you sure
nobody saw you put it there?
Oh, I'm sure. My Kojak disguise
worked like a charm.
- Meg, come on!
- 'Look, Alan.'
The money is there, okay?
Now, just pick it up.
And leave me alone. for good,
okay?
'Y-yeah. W-well, listen,
there's one more thing.'
- What?
- Would you water my plants?
'Well, look, they're only
plants, there's no reason'
'for them to suffer
for our mistakes.'
- Our mistakes?
- Well, you know what I mean.
Oh, my gosh!
Hey, listen, I gotta go.
Please, water 'em twice a week.
'And mist whenever you can, will
ya? I'll send you a postcard.'
'Buh-bye.'
Sir, uh, sir.
Sir. Oh, what do you want?
- Alan Akroy.
- No time.
This man's got
all my money here.
There, no, I mean,
uh, you must be mistaking me
for somebody else.
My name is Sternbach.
- 'Gerald Sternbach.'
- I know you're Alan.
Even with that disguise,
and you've got a reason
to be paranoid, I know,
but you've got to trust me.
Oh, sure,
with you holding my jacket.
I-I'm supposed to trust you,
right?
Hey, listen, I'm sorry.
Is that better?
Much.
There's no reason to be afraid.
Nobody ever landed before.
I'm here to help you, okay?
What about her?
Thank you, Wonder Woman
but I can take over from here.
Well, since I've already met
your counterparts
at Furst Enterprises,
you must be
with Hopewell International,
miss..
B.W. will do.
- Step aside.
- Oh, boy.
Just stay behind me,
you'll be alright.
I don't know about this.
- Stay behind me.
- Right, okay.
Only, uh, at a distance.
- Alan!
- Keep her there.
I wouldn't try to fire
this thing if I were you.
Hi.
You look like
you could use some rest.
Yeah.
Well, you just come with me
and you won't ever have
to run again.
Okay. Fine. Okay, wonderful.
Just take me.
I always hated my cousin
in Bakersfield, anyway.
'Look up, kid.
You should be flattered.'
I mean,
this elevator is only used
by clients and guests
of Mr. Rudolph Furst.
'Who the heck is Rudolph Furst?'
I the heck am Rudolph Furst.
Yeah? So, so what?
So what, am I supposed
to get sweaty palms
just 'cause you, uh, just 'cause
you bug your elevator?
'What am I supposed to do?'
'Crumple up
like a wet paper towel'
'because your name
is-is Rudolph Furst?'
Or-or-or throw myself at your
mercy because a couple of thugs
picked me up on the street
and put me in the back seat
on the floor in their car
and then bring me in
back doors and stuff?
You think that scares me?
You think I don't know
what's going on around here?
Do you know what's going on,
Mr. Akroy?
No. What?
There's really no need
for you to be so emotional.
Mr. Akroy, just relax.
Well, if you want me to relax,
why don't you just call me Alan
for Pete's sakes?
We all know
you're responsible for burning
the Whitaker Building
to the ground, Alan.
Oh!
You-you're an insurance company.
Hey, that's great. That's fine.
I've been looking..
Listen,
I wanna tell you everything.
'I-I don't care.
Listen, I did it.'
'It was an accident.
I didn't do it on purpose.'
I wanna tell you all about it.
I'll tell you what?
If you got a confession,
I'll sign a confession.
You got a confession there?
Have you got a pen?
- 'Alan.'
- Hm?
We don't want you
to confess to the fire.
We want you to recreate it.
- Huh?
- We know it wasn't your fault.
- Alan.
- That's right.
It was a result of an explosion.
Yeah. It went boom!
Those chemicals in that lab
that you were working on
simply blew up.
That's right.
They blew up
because of something
you did while you were working.
Yes, that's right. Look.
All I was doing was,
I was cleaning off
'the counters, you know, and
then I came over to this one..'
- Go on.
- I wanna know why I'm here.
Does it make you nervous
when I call you Mr. Akroy?
- Mr. Akroy?
- Not in the least.
Let me tell you
like it really is.
This is a holiday weekend.
And very shortly, this
whole building will be empty
'for three whole days,
with the exception of us.'
Because none of us are leaving
not until you tell me exactly
what you did to cause that fire.
Maybe I don't wanna.
Well then, Mr. Akroy
these next three days
may very well
be the last three days
of your life.
- Meg Kellogg?
- Yes.
I'm Diana Prince with the IADC.
I'd like to ask you a few
questions about Alan Akroy.
Fine. Just don't expect
any answers.
- Do you know where he is?
- Nope.
Do you have any idea
where he might be?
No.
Look...Alan might be
in a lot of trouble.
Look, I don't care!
I really do not care!
That guy has dumped me
five times.
First it was the stewardess,
then the nurse
then the teacher's assistant
then the cashier
in the bookstore
and finally, the meter maid.
Uh, count 'em, five times.
Little creep! Why should I care
what happens to him?
Look, I know he phoned you.
Look, I'm not going to answer
any questions.
If he's in trouble,
nothing can make me happier
unless, possibly, he fell out
of a jumbo jet at 30,000 feet.
Now, listen.
Look, you wanna know about Alan?
Why don't you try asking,
uh, Susan or Sally or Barbara
or Sherry or-or Kia or, oh..
Something tells me that
this is a bit of repair work
Meg Kellogg did not authorize.
Now, Meg would get off work..
...be unable to start her car.
And you just happened to drop by
and offer her a lift.
Yeah, but,
but I wasn't gonna hurt her.
I-I mean, I just wanted to make
sure that she stayed put. I..
O-once I dropped her off
at her place without the car..
Right. Now, get in.
And please, go on.
Well, I-I just wanted
to make it easier
for whoever has Akroy
to find her.
You see, if the kid doesn't
talk, and chances are he won't
then they'll go after her
to make him talk.
And when they did,
I was going to go after them.
Well,
now you're not going anywhere.
But-but you can't just
leave me here like this.
Let's look at it this way.
'When the police come,
you can tell them'
'exactly what you were doing
over there.'
And if Hopewell
bails you out again
you'll be a free woman.
And, gee, I hope
I don't forget to call them.
Bye.
Come on!
There's-there's got to be
a law against this.
'Really, Mr. Akroy.'
You're making this
unreasonably difficult.
An exact replica of the lab
that was in the Whitaker
Building is set up downstairs.
Now, all you need to do
is go in and show us
precisely what you did
to cause the fire.
Oh, sure, and then what happens
after I tell ya, huh?
'What happens then, huh?'
- Then you'll be released.
- 'Right.'
Right off of a Catalina with a
custom-made, cement-lined suit.
No, thank you.
Aah! Ha-ha!
Mr. Akroy, I'd like you
to meet Dr. Black.
Don't tell me he's a dentist.
No, but he will make you tell me
exactly what I wish to know.
No way. Ooh, oh..
And now, Alan
'I want you to go back'
'to the night of the fire.'
I want you to remember
and tell me everything you did
'before the fire started.'
But you know what, Barbara, this
is really a very nice apartment.
Come on, Alan. Think back.
It's the night before the fire.
Oh, yeah.
'You are walking up'
'to the Whitaker Building.'
'You are collecting
your cleaning equipment.'
Kia, this corner over here
could use a nice plant.
How about a nice
Dieffenbachia amoena?
You'll like that, huh?
Make him respond
to your questions, doctor.
Listen to me, Alan.
Now, think back. It's Wednesday.
'You've got your bucket
and your mop.'
Look, Cheryl,
I'm going to take a nap.
It's been a rough day, okay?
- You fool. You put him under.
- But the dose was minimal.
Are you trying to tell me that
this drug won't work on him?
Apparently not.
There must be something abnormal
in his metabolism.
Of course, it's abnormal,
why should it be any different
than the rest of him?
Ted,
take Dr. Dolittle here home
and then go pick up the girl.
Which one are you?
Uh, hi. It's me, Diana Prince.
We talked before, remember?
The gym?
You talked, I refused.
And I still refuse.
Well, this time I came
to talk about you, Meg.
Uh, I have reason to believe
that you could be in danger.
Oh, I can take care of myself.
I always have.
Why would I be in danger,
anyway? Because of Alan?
I'm afraid so, yeah.
He's really in trouble?
And because you're someone
that's close to him
you could be, too.
Well, I have news for somebody.
He has thrown me over
so many times
that I couldn't care less
if he just goes and..
Oh, boy.
Who am I trying to kid?
Here I am in his trailer
in the middle of the night
watering his plants
trying to convince you
that I hate him.
I'm the one who's in trouble.
It's tough, isn't it
that you have to do
all the giving all the time.
I'm so stupid.
I give and I give
and I give. All he does--
Come to you when he needs help.
He comes to you, Meg.
I mean, that, that means
something, doesn't it?
I guess so.
No need to panic.
Just relax and enjoy the ride.
'You know, it's really funny.'
I have dealt with spies
from all over the world.
Only, now I find out,
the most ruthless ones
are in the business world.
- Live and learn, I always say.
- Uh-huh.
You take her up. I'll stay
with Ms. Disenchanted here.
- Cute.
- W-what's going to happen?
You're going to convince
that turkey upstairs
to spill his guts.
I'm not gonna do anything
to help you.
'All you have to do
is stand there'
and pray
that Alan is easy to convince.
- Diana.
- It's okay.
You just do as they tell you,
okay?
Tell Alan to stall.
You guys grabbed
the wrong girl, you know?
'I mean, you're gonna point
that gun to my head'
'and Alan is going to yawn.'
'He doesn't care about me.'
'You might just as well
have kidnapped an eggplant.'
Come in, Ms. Kellogg.
Welcome
to Rudolph Furst Enterprises.
Megs, I care about you.
What are you talking about?
Y-you guys bug the elevator
around here or something?
I choose to call it
data gathering.
It's amazing what you can learn
about what clients say
on their way up
to the executive suite.
How could you think
I didn't care about you?
- What did I do?
- Alan..
'That's right, Alan.'
You care about her and that's
precisely why she's here.
Boy, you guys don't fool around,
do ya?
Of all the girls
they could have brought up here
they had to bring up the one
that I love.
This is my fault.
I'm sorry, Meg.
- Oh, Alan.
- It's okay.
Okay, I'll tell you everything
you wanna know.
Bring me to the lab.
Just do what they say. Come on.
Come along, everyone.
The Explo formula
awaits rediscovery.
Put that thing away.
You see, an exact replica
of the lab you were in
two nights ago
complete with all
of your cleaning implements.
Now all you'll have to do is
simply recreate the explosion.
Oh, Alan!
Stall. There's someone
downstairs that can help us.
Hey.
There'll be plenty of time
for sweet nothings later.
Please, Mr. Akroy,
begin cleaning.
Psst!
- Hm?
- What time is it? Do you know?
Shortly after 11:00.
Really? Oh, good.
I guess I can have
my little laugh now
seeing as how
the real Alan Akroy
should have arrived at the IADC
'about,
oh, five, ten minutes ago.'
What?
You heard me.
The Alan Akroy you have
is a fake, darling.
You're bluffing.
No, you, you should've,
you should've seen
the look on the real Alan's
face this morning
'when we made the switch
at the airport.'
- He's really a funny guy.
- I don't believe you.
Oh, well, it really
doesn't matter in the least.
You see, by morning the IADC
will have the Explo formula
and, uh, what you'll have
is something resembling
a strawberry soda.
Now, I say you're lying.
But it wouldn't hurt
to get a second opinion.
Gently, gently.
Don't forget your coat.
Oh! Too much. I'm sorry.
I'm gonna have
to start over again.
Mr. Akroy.
Hey, listen, now, look,
you said you wanted everything
just the same way it was
in that other lab
'before it exploded, right?'
Well, you're gonna have
to trust me.
I'm sure that this,
uh, this cleaning solution
is-is crucial, okay?
Please.
Imagine. You again.
Diana Prince and I
aren't exactly thrilled
with you, either.
Allow me to pick a floor.
Phew!
I am trapped in here.
I'm trapped on the first floor.
Can you get me outta here?
Hey, listen, you guys
don't really want me
to do this, do ya? I mean..
If these chemicals are exactly
the same as they were
in that other lab,
this place is gonna
go up like a matchbook.
As you recall, the explosion
resulted from a chain reaction.
'We'll have plenty of time
once the reaction starts'
to get that beaker over here
to this chamber
where the explosion
can be contained.
Please continue, Mr. Akroy.
Yeah, right.
Oh. You know what?
This isn't the same kind
of squirt bottle. It won't work.
You're stalling, Mr. Akroy!
'Everything is identical
to the way it was'
in the lab that night.
We were watching, remember?
- Tom.
- No, no, wait, wait, wait.
Look, I'll do it exactly,
I promise.
I'll do exactly
like I did it. Okay.
Here we go,
I start, I always start
at the far side of the room,
you know
left to right,
so I'll remember where I am.
I was spraying the counter
cleaned off the counter,
just like that.
Nothing happened,
came over into here
just started
cleaning off the counter.
Here. And then..
And I, uh..
This is where I, I, uh..
Oh. Hey, are you alright?
- Yeah, yeah. You?
- Yeah.
Why, why didn't you call
the police instead of running?
'No one wanted to hurt you.'
Hey, listen, the last time
I came clean about something
was when I totaled
my father's car.
What, and he grounded you
for a month?
A year.
Listen, he didn't tell
those two guys anything.
Oh, good, because I don't think
they're ready to, uh, learn
what Alan knows.
In fact...I don't think
anyone's ready.
I can make you forget.
- No!
- Yeah.
Don't! We must have that secret.
Please.
I can make you forget everything
that happened
at the Whitaker Building
last Wednesday night.
Fantastic.
Hey, listen,
this is the greatest thing
that ever happened to me.
Well, I mean,
almost the greatest.
He-he's telling the truth,
you know?
You know, Diana, what
I should've had Wonder Woman
make him forget was, uh,
Barbara and Susan
and Sherry and Kia.
Listen, are you sure
you can't stay for dinner?
I mean, Alan would be
so surprised if you were here.
No, I, really,
I'm on my way to the airport.
I just checked in to see if,
uh, Alan worked everything out.
Oh, yeah. Everybody
was very understanding.
The police,
the insurance companies
'except for the people
at Hopewell International'
'and Furst Enterprises.'
I don't think they are ever
going to forgive Wonder Woman
for doing what she did to Alan.
Well, I think,
uh, those two companies
carried
the spirit of competition
a little bit too far.
'They needed
to be taught a lesson.'
By the way, how are things
working out with you and Alan?
Oh, terrific.
You know what he said
up there in that office?
He said that I was the only girl
he ever cared about.
I guess it took
all those other girls
to make him realize.
Come on, Ronnie, up here.
I really appreciate
you doing this for me. I..
- 'I hope you got the time.'
- Oh, I got plenty of time.
I'm just a little nervous
about all this.
- Megs, what are you doing here?
- Cooking your dinner.
It was supposed to be
a surprise.
I had no idea, however
that you were going to be
bringing dessert.
- Megs!
- Or maybe..
Maybe I should just call
her number six, okay?
Hey, listen, she answered
an ad from the newspaper.
She's gonna water my plants
while we're gone.
Gone where?
On our honeymoon.
Alan, you've never asked me
to marry you.
You never asked me to ask you.
Well, you never asked me
to ask you to ask me.
You never asked me
to ask you to ask me to ask me.
- So?
- Or for me to..
'But you never asked me
to ask you.'
'You never asked me
to ask you to ask you.'
'You never..
Well, why don't you ask?'
- 'Okay.'
- 'Oh, Alan.'
So I'm asking.
So, okay, I will.

Tape rolling.
They're getting ready to pour.
Nothing.
They're no closer
to finding the formula
than they were five months ago.
'Oh, looks like they're
packing it up for the night.'
You know, I wish they'd either
discover that formula
or learn to go home
at a decent hour.
Who's that?
That's the new janitor.
The kid's name is Alan Akroy.
A student working his way
through botany school
or something like that.
Hm.
Ooh!
Look at that!
Why, that kid..
Discovered the formula.

'There's been a fire
in the Whitaker Building.'
Yeah, well,
I'm looking at the picture
in the newspaper right now.
The details
as to how the fire started
are a little sketchy.
Yeah, well,
that was intentional, Diana.
You see, uh,
it seems the Whitaker Building
housed a lab
where an industrial group
was developing a new explosive.
In the middle
of a business district?
Yeah, that's right.
According to our sources
this explosive was supposed
to revolutionize the industry.
'It was made up of very stable'
'easily packaged,
easily-handled chemicals.'
And only when it was combined
with an equally-stable catalyst
were they to become volatile.
Well, looks like
somebody found the catalyst.
Just who's behind all this,
anyway?
Hopewell International
must move, and move quickly.
The fire in the lab we were
using means we've succeeded.
It means, the product
that'll bring us billions
is finally within our grasp.
No, Rodney, I've been assured
the explosion
did not occur spontaneously.
Human hands were involved,
a human brain.
'Now, somebody
has inadvertently learned'
'the secret
of the Explo formula.'
Somebody whom we must find
and will find
'despite any and all
interference by our enemies.'
- You get me B.W. on the phone.
- Oh..
Now, who are the enemies that
warrant the use of such talent?
There are two.
The IADC
and Rudolph Furst Enterprises.
You're absolutely certain
that this Alan Akroy
caused the fire?
He was in the room
just before everything blew.
They didn't find any bodies.
It looks like he got out.
It also looks like
whatever he accidentally did
in that lab
is exactly what those
three Hopewell scientists
have been trying to do
for the past five months.
Yes, sir.
So it appears
that if we find Alan Akroy
and make him tell us
exactly what he did in that lab
then we can throw away all
of our surveillance equipment
and the Explo formula
will be ours free and clear.
The trouble is
that Hopewell knows
everything we know about Akroy.
And the IADC
would like nothing better
than to keep that Explo formula
out of
the free-enterprise system.
They've already employed
an agent.
- Diana Prince.
- No matter.
I trust you know
how important it is
that we be the first to find
this Alan Akroy.
Okay, you guys, there you go.
But I'm warning you right now,
it may be a long time
before anybody does this again.
Old Uncle Alan got himself
in some fix last night
about ten-million-bucks worth.
Oh, boy.
Cripes!
Holy cow.
Oh, geez, what a time to find
out how far you can go on $6.78
and one lousy change of clothes.
Come on, open up.
Oh, for Pete's sake!
I wonder if there's a law
against breaking and exiting.
- Good morning, IRA.
- Good morning, Eve.
Regarding Alan Akroy, have you
tapped all of the computers
in the Los Angeles area
that have the name Alan Akroy
in their memory banks?
Affirmative.
The IRAC computer
will now compile a profile
'outlining
the most likely behavior.'
- So we can predict his moves?
- That is correct.
IRA, is there anything
you can tell us now
that will help us find him?
According
to computerized records
he is yet to claim his laundry
at the Clean 'Em Up company
on Orchard Boulevard.
Great. If he's running, he'll
probably need those clothes.
I'll give that information
to Diana.
She should be landing
in Los Angeles
any minute now.
- Anybody home?
- 'Yes?'
Hi, um, I have a friend
who's got some laundry here
and I was wondering
if, uh, you could tell me
if he's, uh, got it yet.
Maybe. Name?
Akroy. Alan Akroy.
Akroy.
Uh, the name's not in the book
but, uh,
we can check out in back.
Come on. Take you on a tour.
Uh, what? Step into your parlor?
I bet you always wondered
what happens to your clothes
once you surrender them
at the door.
Well, actually,
I've, uh, always been
sort of a do-it-yourselfer
when it comes
to cleaning and laundry.
- Oh, really?
- Really.
- Do you wear polyester?
- No.
Uh, well, if you did, uh, this
is what happens to polyester.
- Well, that's very interesting.
- Yes.
And, uh, right here
is where we dry-clean
the acrylics.
You're not supposed to dry-clean
acrylics.
Oh, well, now,
whoever told you that?
Okay, now, wait a minute.
What's going on?
That's Diana Prince from IADC!
'Go get her!'
Diana, run!
Alright.
Why were you attacking
Diana Prince?
To-to, to get her
out of the way.
You're after Alan Akroy, too?
- Yes.
- Why?
Who are you working for?
Hopewell?
Furst.
Rudolph Furst Enterprises.
Rudolph Furst?
- Trevor.
- 'Steve?'
- Diana, how are ya?
- Well, I'm not sure.
Rudolph Furst just tried
to take me to the cleaners.
- 'You okay?'
- Yeah.
Those industrials
play for keeps.
- Hopewell and Furst.
- 'You got it.'
Furst is in this
up to his corporate wallet.
Yeah.
Now, there's a pair to draw to.
You better get over
to Furst Enterprises.
'I'm on my way, Steve.'
What about, uh, Akroy?
Um, I think
he's in over his head.
'You got a line on him?'
- Running.
- Any idea where?
- 'So far, just running.'
- Stay with it.
Bye.
Psst.
Psst.
Hey, come on, slow up, will ya?
- Alan?
- Yeah. Oh!
Look, don't-don't stop.
Just keep running. Keep running.
But slow up a little.
Hey, listen, I can't let
anybody recognize me.
- I'm in big trouble here.
- What's the matter?
Did you just get done
dumping somebody else?
Come on, this is serious.
I need help bad.
Yeah? Well,
why don't you go ask Barbara?
Or, uh, Susan or Sally.
Come on, Megs,
you're the only one I can trust.
No, no, what you mean is
I'm the only one you know
you can sucker.
What do you need this time,
money?
Hey, come on.
Slow down, will ya?
Okay. I could use 50 bucks.
- Oh, Alan!
- I have an explanation!
No, I don't wanna hear
your explanations.
They all begin with, "You see
I have just met this girl."
- Meg? Hey, listen!
- I can't hear you.
You know the Whitaker Building
that burned down last night?
I did that.
That's right. I did that.
- You burned down a building?
- Yeah. It was an accident.
- Well, then turn yourself in.
- Are you kidding?
That building cost
ten million bucks!
But if it wasn't your fault,
then it is alright.
Meg, these insurance companies
play for keeps, you know?
They'd like nothing better
than to pin this on somebody.
Those guys catch up with me
and I'm dead!
- Alan, this is ridiculous.
- Meg!
Oh, honey, I'm sorry.
Listen, Megs, honey, look,
all I want is a little money
so I can get out of town till
this whole thing blows over.
That's all. That's all.
After buying this disguise,
all I've got is $3.60.
Come on.
Well, baby, come on.
Help me, huh? Please? Please?
It would be worth $50, Alan
just to get you out of my life
once and for all.
Great. Oh, you're a doll, honey.
Alright, but I can't get it
until tomorrow.
Right. That's alright,
just keep running.
- Now, listen.
- What?
They're probably gonna be
watching you
in hopes that I'll make contact.
So when you get the money
this is what I want you to do.
Okay? You go to the airport.
There's an ash can
underneath a poster
right next to the phone booth.
- Good morning, IRA.
- Good morning.
- How are you?
- A value judgment.
I am not capable
of being anything but accurate.
'I am in Washington, DC.'
'What I am is a computer.'
'Why I am here is probably'
'the reason
you set me in motion.'
I'm sorry I asked.
Sorrow is also something--
Alright. Alright.
Now, are you familiar
with Hopewell Enterprises?
Of course.
And how about
Furst International?
Both have business
and scientific interests
on a global basis.
And what if I added the name
Alan Akroy?
'Am I undergoing an examination
of some sort?'
No, you're supposed
to be doing a profile on him.
Now, what do you know
about Alan Akroy?
'So far, about the same
as I know about John Smith.'
Look, IRA, I'm trying to help.
Now, he's involved with them.
The only reason I do not
function perfectly at all times
is because humans try to help.
Oh, boy. Just get me
the profile on Alan Akroy.
- If you would give me time.
- You got it.
- Tick, tock..
- Mm.
Tick, tock..
You're denying that you hired
the men who attacked me?
Can you prove that I did?
One of them admitted you did.
What Wonder Woman drags
out of people with her lasso
hardly constitutes proof.
I see.
So three men
who used to work for you
just happened to be
in the laundry
and just happened to attack me.
Is that what you're saying?
Oh, well,
how they spend their time
when they're not in my employ
is strictly their business.
Enough of the games, okay?
We both know
that we're both after Alan Akroy
who we both thought
was gonna be in the laundry.
Alan Akroy?
You and the way you do business
are loathsome, Mr. Furst.
Good day.
'The lady's visit
was not a long one.'
'Were you able to plant
the homing device?'
Yes, sir. I'll be on her tail
from, uh, from now on.
I'd advise you
to exercise discretion.
The wonders that bail money can
work are not infinite in number.
Hey, look, don't worry, alright?
She won't spot us.
Thank you very much.
Hi. Thanks a lot.
No problem.
You're heading my way.
Glad to help.
You got an appointment
someplace?
Huh? Oh, no,
I'm just headed out of town.
Well, I wouldn't worry about
catching your bus anymore
Alan.
Oh, I'm not gonna take a bus.
Hey!
Hey, how'd you know my name?
Hopewell International
has its ways.
- Oh, boy.
- Just relax!
And leave the driving to us.
No offense,
but, no, thank you.
Hey, listen, no lady private eye
is gonna get me!
So you're leaving town
but you're not gonna
take the bus.
IRA just finished his profile
on Alan Akroy, Diana.
And according to this thing
Alan will go into hiding
in Bakersfield
at the home of a distant cousin.
How does IRA think
he'll get there?
By plane. The very next
economy flight out.
Okay, Steve, I'm on my way, uh..
- Anything else?
- 'Yeah.'
IRA says Alan fell in love
with the theater in high school
and never quite
got off the stage.
So, uh, watch for disguises.
Terrific. Over and out.
'Last call for passengers
boarding on..'
- 'Hello?'
- Meggy? Hi, it's Alan.
Alan, why are you calling me?
Well, I wanted to know
if you put the stuff
where I told you to put it.
'Yes, it's in a trash can'
in a paper bag
underneath the mailbox
in front
of the Vista Airlines counter.
Right. Uh, Megs, you sure
nobody saw you put it there?
Oh, I'm sure. My Kojak disguise
worked like a charm.
- Meg, come on!
- 'Look, Alan.'
The money is there, okay?
Now, just pick it up.
And leave me alone. for good,
okay?
'Y-yeah. W-well, listen,
there's one more thing.'
- What?
- Would you water my plants?
'Well, look, they're only
plants, there's no reason'
'for them to suffer
for our mistakes.'
- Our mistakes?
- Well, you know what I mean.
Oh, my gosh!
Hey, listen, I gotta go.
Please, water 'em twice a week.
'And mist whenever you can, will
ya? I'll send you a postcard.'
'Buh-bye.'
Sir, uh, sir.
Sir. Oh, what do you want?
- Alan Akroy.
- No time.
This man's got
all my money here.
There, no, I mean,
uh, you must be mistaking me
for somebody else.
My name is Sternbach.
- 'Gerald Sternbach.'
- I know you're Alan.
Even with that disguise,
and you've got a reason
to be paranoid, I know,
but you've got to trust me.
Oh, sure,
with you holding my jacket.
I-I'm supposed to trust you,
right?
Hey, listen, I'm sorry.
Is that better?
Much.
There's no reason to be afraid.
Nobody ever landed before.
I'm here to help you, okay?
What about her?
Thank you, Wonder Woman
but I can take over from here.
Well, since I've already met
your counterparts
at Furst Enterprises,
you must be
with Hopewell International,
miss..
B.W. will do.
- Step aside.
- Oh, boy.
Just stay behind me,
you'll be alright.
I don't know about this.
- Stay behind me.
- Right, okay.
Only, uh, at a distance.
- Alan!
- Keep her there.
I wouldn't try to fire
this thing if I were you.
Hi.
You look like
you could use some rest.
Yeah.
Well, you just come with me
and you won't ever have
to run again.
Okay. Fine. Okay, wonderful.
Just take me.
I always hated my cousin
in Bakersfield, anyway.
'Look up, kid.
You should be flattered.'
I mean,
this elevator is only used
by clients and guests
of Mr. Rudolph Furst.
'Who the heck is Rudolph Furst?'
I the heck am Rudolph Furst.
Yeah? So, so what?
So what, am I supposed
to get sweaty palms
just 'cause you, uh, just 'cause
you bug your elevator?
'What am I supposed to do?'
'Crumple up
like a wet paper towel'
'because your name
is-is Rudolph Furst?'
Or-or-or throw myself at your
mercy because a couple of thugs
picked me up on the street
and put me in the back seat
on the floor in their car
and then bring me in
back doors and stuff?
You think that scares me?
You think I don't know
what's going on around here?
Do you know what's going on,
Mr. Akroy?
No. What?
There's really no need
for you to be so emotional.
Mr. Akroy, just relax.
Well, if you want me to relax,
why don't you just call me Alan
for Pete's sakes?
We all know
you're responsible for burning
the Whitaker Building
to the ground, Alan.
Oh!
You-you're an insurance company.
Hey, that's great. That's fine.
I've been looking..
Listen,
I wanna tell you everything.
'I-I don't care.
Listen, I did it.'
'It was an accident.
I didn't do it on purpose.'
I wanna tell you all about it.
I'll tell you what?
If you got a confession,
I'll sign a confession.
You got a confession there?
Have you got a pen?
- 'Alan.'
- Hm?
We don't want you
to confess to the fire.
We want you to recreate it.
- Huh?
- We know it wasn't your fault.
- Alan.
- That's right.
It was a result of an explosion.
Yeah. It went boom!
Those chemicals in that lab
that you were working on
simply blew up.
That's right.
They blew up
because of something
you did while you were working.
Yes, that's right. Look.
All I was doing was,
I was cleaning off
'the counters, you know, and
then I came over to this one..'
- Go on.
- I wanna know why I'm here.
Does it make you nervous
when I call you Mr. Akroy?
- Mr. Akroy?
- Not in the least.
Let me tell you
like it really is.
This is a holiday weekend.
And very shortly, this
whole building will be empty
'for three whole days,
with the exception of us.'
Because none of us are leaving
not until you tell me exactly
what you did to cause that fire.
Maybe I don't wanna.
Well then, Mr. Akroy
these next three days
may very well
be the last three days
of your life.
- Meg Kellogg?
- Yes.
I'm Diana Prince with the IADC.
I'd like to ask you a few
questions about Alan Akroy.
Fine. Just don't expect
any answers.
- Do you know where he is?
- Nope.
Do you have any idea
where he might be?
No.
Look...Alan might be
in a lot of trouble.
Look, I don't care!
I really do not care!
That guy has dumped me
five times.
First it was the stewardess,
then the nurse
then the teacher's assistant
then the cashier
in the bookstore
and finally, the meter maid.
Uh, count 'em, five times.
Little creep! Why should I care
what happens to him?
Look, I know he phoned you.
Look, I'm not going to answer
any questions.
If he's in trouble,
nothing can make me happier
unless, possibly, he fell out
of a jumbo jet at 30,000 feet.
Now, listen.
Look, you wanna know about Alan?
Why don't you try asking,
uh, Susan or Sally or Barbara
or Sherry or-or Kia or, oh..
Something tells me that
this is a bit of repair work
Meg Kellogg did not authorize.
Now, Meg would get off work..
...be unable to start her car.
And you just happened to drop by
and offer her a lift.
Yeah, but,
but I wasn't gonna hurt her.
I-I mean, I just wanted to make
sure that she stayed put. I..
O-once I dropped her off
at her place without the car..
Right. Now, get in.
And please, go on.
Well, I-I just wanted
to make it easier
for whoever has Akroy
to find her.
You see, if the kid doesn't
talk, and chances are he won't
then they'll go after her
to make him talk.
And when they did,
I was going to go after them.
Well,
now you're not going anywhere.
But-but you can't just
leave me here like this.
Let's look at it this way.
'When the police come,
you can tell them'
'exactly what you were doing
over there.'
And if Hopewell
bails you out again
you'll be a free woman.
And, gee, I hope
I don't forget to call them.
Bye.
Come on!
There's-there's got to be
a law against this.
'Really, Mr. Akroy.'
You're making this
unreasonably difficult.
An exact replica of the lab
that was in the Whitaker
Building is set up downstairs.
Now, all you need to do
is go in and show us
precisely what you did
to cause the fire.
Oh, sure, and then what happens
after I tell ya, huh?
'What happens then, huh?'
- Then you'll be released.
- 'Right.'
Right off of a Catalina with a
custom-made, cement-lined suit.
No, thank you.
Aah! Ha-ha!
Mr. Akroy, I'd like you
to meet Dr. Black.
Don't tell me he's a dentist.
No, but he will make you tell me
exactly what I wish to know.
No way. Ooh, oh..
And now, Alan
'I want you to go back'
'to the night of the fire.'
I want you to remember
and tell me everything you did
'before the fire started.'
But you know what, Barbara, this
is really a very nice apartment.
Come on, Alan. Think back.
It's the night before the fire.
Oh, yeah.
'You are walking up'
'to the Whitaker Building.'
'You are collecting
your cleaning equipment.'
Kia, this corner over here
could use a nice plant.
How about a nice
Dieffenbachia amoena?
You'll like that, huh?
Make him respond
to your questions, doctor.
Listen to me, Alan.
Now, think back. It's Wednesday.
'You've got your bucket
and your mop.'
Look, Cheryl,
I'm going to take a nap.
It's been a rough day, okay?
- You fool. You put him under.
- But the dose was minimal.
Are you trying to tell me that
this drug won't work on him?
Apparently not.
There must be something abnormal
in his metabolism.
Of course, it's abnormal,
why should it be any different
than the rest of him?
Ted,
take Dr. Dolittle here home
and then go pick up the girl.
Which one are you?
Uh, hi. It's me, Diana Prince.
We talked before, remember?
The gym?
You talked, I refused.
And I still refuse.
Well, this time I came
to talk about you, Meg.
Uh, I have reason to believe
that you could be in danger.
Oh, I can take care of myself.
I always have.
Why would I be in danger,
anyway? Because of Alan?
I'm afraid so, yeah.
He's really in trouble?
And because you're someone
that's close to him
you could be, too.
Well, I have news for somebody.
He has thrown me over
so many times
that I couldn't care less
if he just goes and..
Oh, boy.
Who am I trying to kid?
Here I am in his trailer
in the middle of the night
watering his plants
trying to convince you
that I hate him.
I'm the one who's in trouble.
It's tough, isn't it
that you have to do
all the giving all the time.
I'm so stupid.
I give and I give
and I give. All he does--
Come to you when he needs help.
He comes to you, Meg.
I mean, that, that means
something, doesn't it?
I guess so.
No need to panic.
Just relax and enjoy the ride.
'You know, it's really funny.'
I have dealt with spies
from all over the world.
Only, now I find out,
the most ruthless ones
are in the business world.
- Live and learn, I always say.
- Uh-huh.
You take her up. I'll stay
with Ms. Disenchanted here.
- Cute.
- W-what's going to happen?
You're going to convince
that turkey upstairs
to spill his guts.
I'm not gonna do anything
to help you.
'All you have to do
is stand there'
and pray
that Alan is easy to convince.
- Diana.
- It's okay.
You just do as they tell you,
okay?
Tell Alan to stall.
You guys grabbed
the wrong girl, you know?
'I mean, you're gonna point
that gun to my head'
'and Alan is going to yawn.'
'He doesn't care about me.'
'You might just as well
have kidnapped an eggplant.'
Come in, Ms. Kellogg.
Welcome
to Rudolph Furst Enterprises.
Megs, I care about you.
What are you talking about?
Y-you guys bug the elevator
around here or something?
I choose to call it
data gathering.
It's amazing what you can learn
about what clients say
on their way up
to the executive suite.
How could you think
I didn't care about you?
- What did I do?
- Alan..
'That's right, Alan.'
You care about her and that's
precisely why she's here.
Boy, you guys don't fool around,
do ya?
Of all the girls
they could have brought up here
they had to bring up the one
that I love.
This is my fault.
I'm sorry, Meg.
- Oh, Alan.
- It's okay.
Okay, I'll tell you everything
you wanna know.
Bring me to the lab.
Just do what they say. Come on.
Come along, everyone.
The Explo formula
awaits rediscovery.
Put that thing away.
You see, an exact replica
of the lab you were in
two nights ago
complete with all
of your cleaning implements.
Now all you'll have to do is
simply recreate the explosion.
Oh, Alan!
Stall. There's someone
downstairs that can help us.
Hey.
There'll be plenty of time
for sweet nothings later.
Please, Mr. Akroy,
begin cleaning.
Psst!
- Hm?
- What time is it? Do you know?
Shortly after 11:00.
Really? Oh, good.
I guess I can have
my little laugh now
seeing as how
the real Alan Akroy
should have arrived at the IADC
'about,
oh, five, ten minutes ago.'
What?
You heard me.
The Alan Akroy you have
is a fake, darling.
You're bluffing.
No, you, you should've,
you should've seen
the look on the real Alan's
face this morning
'when we made the switch
at the airport.'
- He's really a funny guy.
- I don't believe you.
Oh, well, it really
doesn't matter in the least.
You see, by morning the IADC
will have the Explo formula
and, uh, what you'll have
is something resembling
a strawberry soda.
Now, I say you're lying.
But it wouldn't hurt
to get a second opinion.
Gently, gently.
Don't forget your coat.
Oh! Too much. I'm sorry.
I'm gonna have
to start over again.
Mr. Akroy.
Hey, listen, now, look,
you said you wanted everything
just the same way it was
in that other lab
'before it exploded, right?'
Well, you're gonna have
to trust me.
I'm sure that this,
uh, this cleaning solution
is-is crucial, okay?
Please.
Imagine. You again.
Diana Prince and I
aren't exactly thrilled
with you, either.
Allow me to pick a floor.
Phew!
I am trapped in here.
I'm trapped on the first floor.
Can you get me outta here?
Hey, listen, you guys
don't really want me
to do this, do ya? I mean..
If these chemicals are exactly
the same as they were
in that other lab,
this place is gonna
go up like a matchbook.
As you recall, the explosion
resulted from a chain reaction.
'We'll have plenty of time
once the reaction starts'
to get that beaker over here
to this chamber
where the explosion
can be contained.
Please continue, Mr. Akroy.
Yeah, right.
Oh. You know what?
This isn't the same kind
of squirt bottle. It won't work.
You're stalling, Mr. Akroy!
'Everything is identical
to the way it was'
in the lab that night.
We were watching, remember?
- Tom.
- No, no, wait, wait, wait.
Look, I'll do it exactly,
I promise.
I'll do exactly
like I did it. Okay.
Here we go,
I start, I always start
at the far side of the room,
you know
left to right,
so I'll remember where I am.
I was spraying the counter
cleaned off the counter,
just like that.
Nothing happened,
came over into here
just started
cleaning off the counter.
Here. And then..
And I, uh..
This is where I, I, uh..
Oh. Hey, are you alright?
- Yeah, yeah. You?
- Yeah.
Why, why didn't you call
the police instead of running?
'No one wanted to hurt you.'
Hey, listen, the last time
I came clean about something
was when I totaled
my father's car.
What, and he grounded you
for a month?
A year.
Listen, he didn't tell
those two guys anything.
Oh, good, because I don't think
they're ready to, uh, learn
what Alan knows.
In fact...I don't think
anyone's ready.
I can make you forget.
- No!
- Yeah.
Don't! We must have that secret.
Please.
I can make you forget everything
that happened
at the Whitaker Building
last Wednesday night.
Fantastic.
Hey, listen,
this is the greatest thing
that ever happened to me.
Well, I mean,
almost the greatest.
He-he's telling the truth,
you know?
You know, Diana, what
I should've had Wonder Woman
make him forget was, uh,
Barbara and Susan
and Sherry and Kia.
Listen, are you sure
you can't stay for dinner?
I mean, Alan would be
so surprised if you were here.
No, I, really,
I'm on my way to the airport.
I just checked in to see if,
uh, Alan worked everything out.
Oh, yeah. Everybody
was very understanding.
The police,
the insurance companies
'except for the people
at Hopewell International'
'and Furst Enterprises.'
I don't think they are ever
going to forgive Wonder Woman
for doing what she did to Alan.
Well, I think,
uh, those two companies
carried
the spirit of competition
a little bit too far.
'They needed
to be taught a lesson.'
By the way, how are things
working out with you and Alan?
Oh, terrific.
You know what he said
up there in that office?
He said that I was the only girl
he ever cared about.
I guess it took
all those other girls
to make him realize.
Come on, Ronnie, up here.
I really appreciate
you doing this for me. I..
- 'I hope you got the time.'
- Oh, I got plenty of time.
I'm just a little nervous
about all this.
- Megs, what are you doing here?
- Cooking your dinner.
It was supposed to be
a surprise.
I had no idea, however
that you were going to be
bringing dessert.
- Megs!
- Or maybe..
Maybe I should just call
her number six, okay?
Hey, listen, she answered
an ad from the newspaper.
She's gonna water my plants
while we're gone.
Gone where?
On our honeymoon.
Alan, you've never asked me
to marry you.
You never asked me to ask you.
Well, you never asked me
to ask you to ask me.
You never asked me
to ask you to ask me to ask me.
- So?
- Or for me to..
'But you never asked me
to ask you.'
'You never asked me
to ask you to ask you.'
'You never..
Well, why don't you ask?'
- 'Okay.'
- 'Oh, Alan.'
So I'm asking.
So, okay, I will.
