VINCENT: Good evening, and welcome to Mysterious Theater.
I am your host, Vincent Twice, Vincent Twice.
Today we bring you the case of the missing toast.
As our story begins, we find Sherlock Hemlock, world's
greatest detective, and his trusty companion Watson, in
the home of Lady Agatha, looking for some missing food.
SHERLOCK: Come, Watson.
There, there, now.
Just calm down, Lady Agatha, and tell us
exactly what happened.
AGATHA: I was getting ready to have breakfast, you see, and I
put my toast in my little toast rack, here,
like I always do.
And then I went to get some tea.
And when I came back, my toast was gone!
SHERLOCK: Did you hear that, Watson?
Her toast was gone!
AGATHA: Yes.
But that's not all.
At lunchtime I was getting ready to eat a roast.
So I put my roast on the table, and went to get some
mint jelly.
But when I came back, my roast was gone, too!
SHERLOCK: Hm.
Missing toast, missing roast.
Hm, yes.
We must find some clues, Watson.
AGATHA: Oh, but we already have some.
SHERLOCK: Eh?
AGATHA: Don't you see?
Toast and roast rhyme.
That means they sound alike.
SHERLOCK: So--
what?
AGATHA: So, I believe what we have here is a rhyme crime.
SHERLOCK: A rhyme crime.
Do you mean to tell me that whoever took your missing food
is someone who rhymes with toast and roast?
AGATHA: Exactly.
SHERLOCK: Let go of me, Watson!
We must think!
Now, let's see.
What else rhymes with toast and roast?
By George, I've got it.
Yes.
Ghost.
That rhymes with toast and roast.
We must spread out and find a ghost.
Aha!
Ah!
A ghost!
I've got you now, you ghost!
AGATHA: Oh, let go, you fool!
I'm no ghost!
I'm Lady Agatha.
SHERLOCK: Oh, Lady Agatha.
I do beg your pardon.
VINCENT: Let go of me, you mutt.
You're tearing my Savile Row suit.
SHERLOCK: Watson, what are you doing?
That--
that's not a ghost.
I told you to look for a ghost.
This is Vincent Twice Vincent Twice!
He is our host!
Don't you understand?
Our host!
Egad.
Host rhymes with ghost!
AGATHA: Yes.
And our host has my toast and my roast.
SHERLOCK: Aha!
Another mystery solved by Sherlock Hemlock, the world's
greatest Yeah, and his trusty companion, Watson, of course.
AGATHA: What, sir, are you doing with my food?
VINCENT: Well, I was hungry.
I hadn't eaten lunch.
And I walked across the stage and saw this
delicious-looking food.
AGATHA: Well, it's my delicious food.
Now give it back!
VINCENT: No.
And so ends another episode of Mysterious Theater.
This is your host, Vincent Twice Vincent Twice, saying,
until next time, until next time.
If there is a next time.
SHERLOCK: Shame on you, sir.
I don't suppose there's enough for three there?
VINCENT: No.
SHERLOCK: Too bad.
Watson, come back here!
Don't beg!
