Dialogue
Red Cannon: Who's the other customer?
Dr. Ernest Sovac: The man you ran down, he's dying.
Red Cannon: Softie, eh?
Dr. Ernest Sovac: Here's a curious thing George. It seems that Louie Devore, one of Red Cannon gang, was found early this morning in a deserted building dying from the effects of a brutal beating. His back had been broken.
Prof. George Kingsley: Good Heavens, Earnest. Why on Earth bother me with that gruesome stuff?
Dr. Ernest Sovac: Sorry George.
