The New Moon nightclub looks like the club in the episode, "The Dream Sequence Always Rings Twice." There's a piano and a stage. There are a few people drinking and eating. Agnes and Maddie are sitting at a table near the piano. They're drinking and laughing. Maddie notices a man sit down at a table. He's a good-looking man in his sixties. He has gray hair and is wearing an expensive suit.

The part of Mr. Ansalmo is played by John Forsythe. The part of Paul Klein is played by George Clooney. M= Agnes, that's him! That's Robert Ansalmo! He looks exactly like that in the picture! We haven't been able to find him anywhere! Guards are around his house... he always wears a hat. This is so exciting!

A= He's handsome, Miss Hayes!

M= What should we do? He's not going to do anything suspicious

Maddie starts to think in a mischievous way.

M= I can solve this case with or without David. Watch this.

Maddie stands up and walks towards Robert Ansalmo.

M= Would you happen to be Robert Ansalmo?
Mr. Ansalmso doesn't look like a criminal. His eyes exude kindness.
R= Yes, that's exactly who I would happen to be. And who is asking?

M= I'm Madeline Hayes, I've been reviewing your case.

R= And what case would that be?

Maddie acts coy and mysterious.

M= Surely you've noticed people snooping around your life. You've been quite careful to keep your private life private. I figured, why not just ask you some questions myself.

Robert smiles and listens attentively.

R= It's remarkable how I consider my private life private... I should expect trouble. You'll have to sit down and have a drink with me if you wish to interrogate me.

M= And why is that?

Robert stands up and pulls a chair out for Maddie.

R= Can I ask you who hired you?

Maddie pauses.

M= The FBI. They felt they were too obvious, so they wanted ordinary people to try and get some information about you. You seem to be a person that they have great interest in.

R= You're not ordinary. You are beautiful. Weren't you a model? Your pictures didn't do you justice.

M= Flattery will get you nowhere, Mr. Ansalmo.

R= I'm just speaking the truth. A beautiful woman is having a drink with me and I feel compelled to tell her how beautiful she is. Nothing wrong with that, is there? And not only are you beautiful, but you are bold and intelligent. What gave you the nerve to confront me?

M= Well, I have no personal reason to dislike you. The FBI has claimed a lot of things about you and none of them have turned out to be true. So I wondered, maybe they have the wrong guy. Or maybe they have the right guy, but the wrong crimes.

Robert looks intrigued.

R= I never knew ex-models made such interesting investigators. You must not believe everything the FBI tells you... makes me like you already.

M= You're an expert at evading questions, that's for sure. Why is the FBI so interested in you, Mr. Ansalmo?
Mr. Ansalmo remains amused.
R= Please. The name is Robert. You should know. Anyway, Miss, is it Miss?

Maddie rolls her eyes.

M= Yes, Miss.. you were saying?

R= Ah, yes. Miss Hayes. I do not pretend to be innocent of anything. But I know what I am not guilty of. I am not a monster. If I did kill people it would be for business. I would never kill a woman or a child. I do not rob people of money they've earned honestly. I follow more moral codes than most people I know do and I definitely uphold more moral convictions than the government.

Maddie rolls her eyes again. She's heard people defend their illegal actions before. But she finds his candor interesting. But she doesn't lose her cool. She grins.

M= You haven't answered one damn question.

R= You haven't asked me anything specific.

Maddie smiles. Robert gets up from the table and takes Maddie's hand and kisses it.

R= It has been more than a pleasure. Here is my number. If you have any questions about me, I am an expert. I may not give you the answer you are looking for, but I will not lie to you. I wouldn't waste much more time on me. It's not at all very interesting.

Robert laughs as he walks away and mutters
R= I would've thought my ex-wife hired you.

Robert walks away. Maddie heads back to the table where Agnes is sitting. Agnes is waiting with anticipation.

A= So?

M= So.. That man is a con-artist of the worst kind! He has so many secrets, he can't even answer one single question. I told him that the FBI hired us and he believed me. Can you believe that?

Agnes giggles.

A= But his ex-wife hired us.

M= I know, but apparently he wasn't at all surprised that the FBI would be breathing down his neck. But you know what, he doesn't sound like the man the papers describe. According to the papers and his ex-wife, he would have jumped down my throat for approaching him. He was cool as a cucumber. Like James Bond, not like Al Capone.

A= Ooh, ooh, ooh, this is so exciting! What next?

M= I just want to finish my dinner and my drink. Wait till I tell David.

Agnes looks over and sees a young man looking at Maddie.

A= Miss Hayes, there's a cute, young guy looking at you, at 9:00.

Maddie turns and sees a very handsome man. He is in his late twenties and has sandy blond hair and light hazel eyes. Maddie pretends to ignore him.

The man walks up to them and says "Well, this is my lucky day. I'm glad I came to work today." The name- Paul Klein. The Game- Getting you to go out to dinner with me tonight.

Maddie is stunned and oddly amused.

M= For what? Milk and cookies? No thank you.

P= How about a drink? Milk, if that's your poison.

M= Uh, no again, thank you, but

P= You have a boyfriend.. lucky dog!

M= No.

Maddie looks over at Agnes.

M= I don't have a boyfriend.

P= Then what's the problem? You can't already know you don't like me. Have you already spoken to some ex-girlfriends of mine? Am I not your type?

Maddie smiles smugly.

M= You're not my type. You have one strike against you already.

P= And what would that be? Age discrimination?

M= You're not that young, Kid. You remind me of my business partner and I'm not looking for another one of him!

P= And what business are you in?

M= I'm a private investigator. I'm sorry, the name's Maddie Hayes.

P= Pleased to meet you. Who's your business partner?

M= Well, his name's David Addison...

Paul becomes excited.

P= David Addison? Ace-In-The-Hole-Addison from Philly?

Maddie's surprised. She rubs her face in frustration, realizing that David's spirit seems to find her everywhere.

M= You know David?
Paul responds quickly and smugly.
P= You work with David?

She recognizes his humor.

M= Checkmate. How do you know David?

P= From New York. He was the best bartender New York's ever seen! A bit of a gambler... not the kind of guy I'd trust with my business.

Maddie laughs.

M= Well, you can trust David... with certain things. He's not much of a gambler to my knowledge... anymore.

P= Well, enough about David Addison, how about that dinner?

M= What do you do for a living?

P= Right to the chase, huh? Wanna know how much I make?

Maddie looks like she is about to say something rude, but holds back.

M= It's just that I told you what I do for a living and...

P= Oh, sorry, where are my manners? I own this club.

M= Really! It's quite lovely.

P= I also play the piano. You wouldn't happen to sing, would you?

M= Why would you ask that?

Paul points to a flyer on the wall that asks for nightclub singer auditions.

P= I'm looking for a singer. And if a woman that looked like you could carry a tune, I'd be in heaven.

Maddie looks up at him and smiles a charming smile.

M= Do I have a halo around my head?

Paul smiles back. Maddie seems as if she has something else on her mind.

M= If I audition for you, can you keep it a secret? I used to sing. In fact, I wanted to be a singer before I became a model.

P= You were a model, I don't remember seeing you.

M= Maybe you weren't old enough.
Paul smiles. Nothing Maddie says seems to bother him.
P= Well, the name sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it. And I didn't want to give you one of those "Do I know you from somewhere?" lines.

M= Thank you. I know you don't still speak to David, but if you speak to anyone he would know, don't mention this. I like to keep my personal life away from business. Who would want to hire a private investigator that sings in a nightclub?

P= I would. Well, your wish is my command. I will not tell anyone that you sing. Can you come by tomorrow?

M= Sure. I'll get in touch with you.

Paul takes Maddie's hand and kisses it.

P= I await our next meeting.

Agnes and Maddie sit in awe.

A= Miss Hayes, you are having some day! If you went out more often...

M= That's the third man to kiss my hand today! Agnes, all of this... don't tell Mr. Addison. Not about Mr. Ansalmo or Mr. Klein.

Agnes zips her lips and swears that she won't tell anyone.

M= Not even Mr. Viola.

A= Oke doke.
