ERIC: It was one of those nights.
You know the kind, like day, but darker.
I'd had them before, except tonight
somebody was dead.
Now it was my job to catch a murderer,
and believe me, there were plenty of suspects.
Him.
Her, not the cop.
Her.
Him.
Her.
That guy next to her, that guy, him.
And, of course, the guy with the hat.
Not me.
I'm the guy talking.
So, what's your story, fez-head?
No free words in this town, flatfoot.
Talk ain't cheap.
Here.
But, apparently, you are.
Enough of the flattery, fez-head, I already like you.
So, come on, talk.
She got in the way.
In the way of what?
You're the detective. You figure it out.
ERIC: He had a point.
Maybe that's why he wore a hat.
But not only did I have to figure out who killed her and why,
I also had to figure out who she was.
those time continuum vortex things
we're studying in physics?
This kind of looks like one.
I wonder what's behind...
(VORTEX WHOOSHING)
Topanga, this popcorn needs salt.
Aw, crazy, mixed-up kid. You look lost.
That's Angel, 'nuff said.
Hi, I'm Angel Nuffsaid.
How about a cup of joe?
I'd love one, but I don't seem to have any money.
Nobody needs money here, kid.
This is Rory's Shangri-la.
Meet Isaac "Good Shot" Kelly.
Walked into this place yesterday and never left.
Everyone seems so carefree here, so relaxed.
Well, you can be too!
Forget your troubles. Come on, get happy!
That could be a song.
Nah.
You know, if you're looking for a job,
Angel could use some help around here.
(LAUGHS)
There I go again!
She's the worst waitress I've ever seen.
But we all love her for that.
So, what are you runnin' from, sister?
What do you mean?
Well, everyone that comes to Rory's,
is runnin' away from somethin',
or trying to find somethin',
usually themselves.
I don't know who I am, or why I'm even here.
No one does, and no one has to.
All that matters is that we're here.
Is everybody happy?
ALL: Rory!
I don't know who I am or even why I'm here.
I know someone who can help.
(SNAPS FINGERS)
ERIC: That's where I come in. I'm the local gumshoe.
Hey, Trixie!
Do you have the time?
Honey, I got all the time in the world!
Ah, now you're talkin' our language.
Shangri-la looks good on you, honey.
You know, you really seem to fit in here.
Like a glove, toots.
A girl like me could get so used to living in a place like this!
Kind of feel like I was meant to be here.
That's it!
ś This dame's about to run amok
ś Looks like we've all run out of luck
ś And nothing's ever gonna be the same again ś
That dame is poison, I tell you.
Don't say "dame"!
It's offensive!
Since when?
Since Trixie said it was, "Politically incorrect."
I've decided not to like her.
I can't take it anymore.
She's got me worried about my future.
She says gum's bad for your teeth.
