In Like Flint Page #2

of the cetacean group.

Whales, sir.

- Whales.

- Very intelligent animals.

Right. Oh, good. What's

one more mammal in this household, eh?

But he doesn't live here.

He's just staying a few weeks...

while I compile a dictionary

on dolphin sounds.

A dictionary on dolphin s...

Well, not words, sir.

See, we communicate by sonic waves.

It's part of an experiment

in isomerism.

- Terry.

- Isomerism.

- Isomerism, sir.

- Isome... Isome...

Isomerism.

Yes, isomerism, sir...

the relationship between two or

more nuclei to the same mass numbers.

Let's go to the library. Actually, they

have the same mass and atomic numbers.

It's just, there are different states

of energy and radioactive decay.

If it were not important, I...

It's simply radiant energy transmitted

by pressure waves at the speed of sound.

That's very interesting,

but my reason for being here...

Now, by controlling

the frequency of the sound wave,

we can produce a musical tone.

- For instance...

- Flint, this is important.

Yet, all solid objects can be destroyed

by the proper pitch.

- That's extraordinary.

- Ah, it's a toy.

However, we are making

such scientific strides...

that last year's book

is already outdated.

How do you find time to read?

No, no. I wrote that. Already obsolete.

Flint, I've got to talk

to you in private.

Oh, yes. Excuse me, sir. Terry?

- Would you mind...

- Not at all.

Thank you, baby.

Mmm.

Oh.

Now, Flint,

something happened when

I was playing golf with the president.

Oh, the president! Well...

Oh, yes.

I don't know where to begin.

I- It just doesn't seem to make sense.

Well, I'm sure it will, sir.

Just, um...

Well, you know I haven't

been playing up to my game.

- Oh, that's too bad.

- Well...

So the president felt my timing was off.

So he asked me to time his swing

with this stopwatch. Well...

- Oh, I see. So, uh... Yes, uh-huh.

- Yeah.

Flint, it took three minutes.

Now that's not possible, is it?

- Uh, no, sir. It's not.

- No.

The, uh, the watch...

now you've had it checked, of course.

Oh, of course.

That's very interesting.

Would you like me to look into this?

That's what I was hoping.

I can take care of it

in about a week, sir.

- A week?

- Well, why? Is it urgent?

- Well, no, I guess...

- Oh, fine then, sir.

I'll contact you as soon

as I get back from Death Valley.

- Death Valley?

- Yes, a survival test.

- Derek?

- Yeah, baby.

Miss Norton has invited us to be her

guests at Fabulous Face while you're away.

Fabulous Face? What's that?

It's that great new health resort

in the Virgin Islands.

- Oh, yeah, yeah.

- It's just a couple of hours to Rio.

- I'll check the airlines.

- Yeah.

- Fabulous Face?

- Besides, you'll be gone that week anyway.

Hmm.

You're very convincing, Miss Norton.

The resort must be quite a place.

Believe me, Mr. Flint, it is.

I, uh, do hope

you'll allow them to come.

- Why not?

- Ladies, perhaps you ought to start packing.

- Well, thank you very much, Miss Norton.

- Thank you.

Oh, sir. Where was I?

The desert. That's right.

Well, it's not really too difficult

to know where to find food.

Food in the de... Thank you.

In the desert?

Oh, yes, sir. It's all around you,

if you know where to find it.

- Snakes, lizards, chiefly edible grubs.

- Oh!

- Grubs?

- Yes, they're found in decaying wood,

under rocks, shrubs.

- Grubs?

- Grubs, sir.

Yes. Larvae, pupae.

Anglicized from Latin vermiculus.

One of the most edible worms

that we have in the western hemisphere.

Have the appearance of macaroni.

Uh, if you'd like some

more conventional food,

how about dinner with me

tonight at Luigi's?

Oh, I'm sorry, sir.

I have some packing to do.

Ah, that's all right.

I'll let myself out.

Oh, well, then. All right, sir.

Give my best to Luigi.

If you want something really special,

try his Vermicelli a la Derek Flint.

- Vermicelli a la Derek Flint.

- I'll see you as soon as I get back.

- Good-bye, Miss Norton.

- Good-bye, Mr. Flint.

Grubs. Ew!

Uh, grubs.

- Table, miss?

- Yes, please. That table right there.

Oh, certainly.

Good evening.

Would you care for a cocktail?

Yes, please.

Oh, I'll have a martini.

- Mm-hmm.

- Very dry.

Yes, ma'am.

- Oh!

- Oh, dear.

- Allow me.

- Oh, thank you. How awful of me.

- Oh, no.

- How terribly clumsy.

- Not at all.

- Thank you so much.

I... Um, I'm afraid

this will sound quite familiar,

sort of a line, as it were,

but... haven't we met?

Oh, no. No, I don't believe so.

You see, this is my first trip

here to New York.

- Oh, well...

- Thank you very much.

- You're welcome.

- Would the gentleman care for a drink?

- Well, I'm...

- Uh...

I'm not expecting anyone.

That isn't a line either.

Won't you join me?

Well, I-I'd, I'd love to, I'd love to...

- I'll have a cognac, please.

- Yes, sir.

Uh, may I introduce myself?

I'm Lloyd Cramden.

And I'm Norma Benson.

Oh.

Um... would you please

give me a light?

Well...

Thank you.

Here.

Thank you.

My trip here

has to be a very short one.

Schoolteachers are not

in the higher income brackets.

Oh.

I never had a teacher

as beautiful as you.

Perhaps it was just as well.

It would have been too distracting.

Oh, you're very flattering, Mr. Cramden.

Truthful would be more accurate.

Just... where do you teach?

I teach at the

John C. Calhoun High School...

in Roanoke, Virginia.

Roanoke, Virginia.

But let's not talk about me.

It's, uh... quite evident that you're

in a much more important position.

Hmm. No. Well, I...

I'm just one of the many

thousands of government workers.

- Oh, how nice.

- Uh, to the school system.

Especially Roanoke, Virginia.

And to a very charming representative

of our government.

- Uh, what?

- I'm sure you can explain this, sir.

- Who is... Wait!

- Pardon me, dearie.

- I don't know.

- I'll have to take you into custody.

- What?

- I'll arrange for an audience with the president...

first thing in the morning,

and any decision will be made by him.

- Cooper, you and Austin

take Mr. Cramden to the car.

- I'll question the woman.

- I never...

- This way.

- There's a mistake.

You're not listening.

I don't even remember registering.

So, you met this woman for the first

time, had a couple of drinks with her,

and you can't recall anything

that happened afterward?

I can only conclude, sir,

that the drink must have been drugged.

What does your report show,

General Carter?

The waiter in the restaurant didn't get

a good look at the woman, sir.

As for the glasses they drank from,

the lab reports show no trace of a drug.

- And the schoolteacher?

- No criminal record, sir.

TheJohn C. Calhoun High School

of Roanoke, Virginia.

Oh, yes, sir. We checked it out.

TheJohn C. Calhoun High School

was vacated quite a few years ago,

at our request.

I'm afraid there's a security

angle involved, Mr. President.

Well, go on, General Carter.

Let's have the whole story.

Well, that school became
