Can the shroom jaw, blueberry. I've got a case that needs crackin' and you're holding my egg cup. So lets drop dill and get to the sniffy whiffy on this bad ball baby.

Hadrea Matterwulf

(scowls horribly)

I don't know what you're talking about, outlander.

I believe you and count yourself lucky. The last knife-ear that tried to flim-flam me ended up with the hard frodo, if you get my meaning. Now I want to know what you know about the Tawny Tophalf.

Hadrea Matterwulf

(smiles serenely)

Oh, what a wonderful joke!

Maybe this will loosen your sauce. Now let's hear the deets.

(smiles serenely)

The Screen Actor's Guild offers quests and training.If you want to join the Screen Actor's Guild you should try asking Lenny Kaufmann in Calabasas or Herb Mortenstein in Beverly Hills.

Right, right, Tawny was a face maker for the picture people. A regular Rita Bonita. Did she know about you and her husband?

I don't know what you're talking about, outlander.

Cole Phelps

(frodos Hadrea Matterwulf)

I normally wouldn't frodo a twist, but you've got me bugged up all windward.

Stefan Bekowsky

(slams palms on table)

That's bullshit. You can't go frodoing whoever you want. Not even on these mean streets where everything is a double cross and nothing is what it seems.

We blew the case and Bekowsky left us hanging. It was a tough mystery with lots of grisly details, but we're looking forward to taking another stab at it along with all the other cases we didn't get to see.

L.A. Noire will be released May 17th,
