Note sull'episodio
Boston Blackie and his girlfriend, Mary Wesley, are eating dinner at a restaurant they frequent often. Mary says "Blackie, you're a creature of habit. We have eaten in this restaurant every Tuesday for weeks, do you know that?" Blackie says "I've got another habit, Mary. I pay the check when we're through eating. like now. Let's go, huh?" Mary says "I'm ready". Blackie says "I'd better take you straight home if you want to be there before your cousin arrives". Mary says "Oh, she'll wait for me, I hope". Blackie says "There's a cab outside. Run out and see if it's vacant, will you? I'll pay the check and be right with you". The waiter says "Your check, sir". Blackie says "Here you are, and here's your money". The waiter says "Oh no, the meal is on the house, Mr. Peterkin". Blackie says "Thanks, but I'm not Mr. Peterkin". The waiter says "Ah ha, but I know better. We are proud to have your patronage, Mr. Peterkin". Blackie says "I'm not Mr. Peterkin, I'm Boston Blackie and I'm giving you your money". The waiter says "And I'm returning it to you, Mr. Peterkin. Please, with the compliments of the house". Blackie says "Look, I tell you I am ...." The waiter tears up the check and says "There now, you can't pay a check that does not exist". Blackie says "All right, but believe me, there's been some mistake". On the ride home, Mary says "Blackie, you won't forget to get that watch for my cousin, will you?" Blackie says "Don't worry, Mary, the jewelry store is open until nine tonight. You'll have it this evening". They arrive at Mary's home, and Blackie says "Hold the flag, driver. I'm going on". They say their goodbyes, then Blackie says "Now, take me to 51 Sunset Parkway". The driver says "You don't have to tell me where you live, Mr. Peterkin".
