"Fred, do you think this whole television advertisement contest could be a phony?"
"I don't know, Velma. I just don't know. If it was a phony, Perry Mason wouldn't have that advertisement to meet him and you may never know if there's going to be a mystery. Perry Mason's not dumb to put a phony contest on TV like that if it was phony. He's smart about not sharing something like that," Fred answered.
"Is that where he came up with that crazy idea to have someone help him out on a case?"
"I don't know if this ad works, Fred," Shaggy said.
"Shaggy, you wouldn't be crazy if you were a lawyer like Perry Mason is. You have to be smart and not stupid," Fred told his friend.
"He's right, Shaggy. Perry Mason is one of those hard – working lawyers out there. He doesn't have to waste his time. He is smart like Fred just said," Daphne said, agreeing with Fred.
"What did the advertisement say about on how many winners who would be the lucky ones, Fred? We haven't seen that ad yet. Must be something new."
"Velma, that ad said there should only be four lucky winners. I signed us up. You may never know if Perry Mason chooses us."
"Any guesses on what kind of mystery it could be?" Daphne asked.
Fred shook his head and answered, "I don't have any guesses. If there's a mystery, that's already been chosen, my guess could probably be murder."
"That does make sense, and he does work on murder cases," agreed Velma.
"I see your point, but what if monsters were involved? How would Mason handle that one?"
Even until today, Shaggy still believes in ghosts and monsters, so that's probably why he thought of that question.
"Shaggy, don't start that again. There's absolutely no way those winners would believe in that question. I doubt ghosts and monsters."
"You're right, Daphne. There wouldn't be monsters and ghosts in any murder that Perry has ever worked on. It should be fun to meet Perry in person, even if it does mean we are the ones he has chosen for this ad he put on TV."
Everyone agreed with Velma and Shaggy had to agree on being the lucky winners.
"Do you think that somebody from his office decided to come up with this advertisement?" Shaggy asked.
"There's a good guess, Shaggy. Maybe he did it himself."
That was all the gang could come up with on this whole Perry Mason contest.
"If you happen to think someone else did come up with this idea, maybe it could've been either Della or Paul who came up with this and Perry probably went along with it," Velma guessed.
Velma and Fred nodded in agreement.
"You're right, Daphne. There wouldn't be monsters and ghosts in any murder that Perry has ever worked on. It should be fun to meet Perry in person, even if it does mean we are the ones he has chosen for this ad he put on TV."

"If you happen to think someone else did come up with this idea, maybe it could've been either Della or Paul who came up with this and Perry probably went along with it," Velma guessed.
"I've thought of that, too."
That was Fred who said that. They were only coming up with both ideas which can work either way.
"Shaggy, do you have any other ideas besides ghosts and monsters all the time? There haven't been any monsters and ghosts out there lately."
"Velma, that's all I can think of. There is a monster that we have out there today."
"And who exactly is our monster?"
"The President. That's your answer. He's a creep to some of us, but he is also a hard – working man."
Again, everyone agreed with everyone agreed with Velma. There really weren't anymore ideas or guesses about meeting Perry if it means them. They're only having fun with coming up with guesses and ideas.
"If it's us, do you think we might have the chance to meet his family?"
"Shaggy, that's another good guess, but I doubt that wouldn't happen. I'm sure that Perry's family isn't alive. We never really learned that about him. He probably keeps that information to himself. I doubt that he's married. A lot of these people keep him busy enough."
That was something the gang would've guessed. Daphne has a purple pen and notebook with her. Fred and the others did notice it too.
"Daphne, why do you have a pen and notebook for?" Velma asked.
"I thought if I could keep a list of our ideas and guesses we just came up with. Even if we happen to be the winners, I thought it was a good idea to see which is the correct answer."
Fred had to agree with Daphne.
"I agree, Daph. It's not going to make a big deal if one of us is right about our ideas. Shaggy, your idea about the ghosts and monsters will never happen. We haven't worked on any mysteries lately, but it's nice to take a break every once in a while," Fred told him.
"If you see this again, Fred, let us know so we can see that this contest is not a phony," Velma told him.
"I will. I haven't seen it until I told you guys. I'm pretty sure you'll probably believe me. I'm not joking about this contest I just heard about. It does sounded like a fun idea."
"We don't need to keep repeating it, Freddy," Velma told him.
"I know. Meeting someone like him could be very impossible."
"Fred, that's enough."
"We can still talk about this advertisement if we want to."
"What were you watching when this came on?"
"Daphne, I was only watching the news. I don't know how this showed up. If I were you, Daph, I'd keep that book with me."
"That's what I plan to do, Freddy. Then I'll just put a check on the ideas so that way I can see what the best guess was."
"Anyone get brownie points on this one?"
"I don't think so," she answered.
