:13:02
Yes. You see, it's to be 32 storeys high.
:13:05
It's revolutionary in concept, really,
:13:07
because they won't be offices
so much as living modules,
:13:12
almost cocoons where a man
can coordinate his activities
:13:16
outside the context of mere business.
:13:18
In fact, if he chooses, it can become,
virtually, a second home,
:13:22
a kind of a... a remarkable place
of mobility and freedom.
:13:26
I don't know how the wives'll feel
about that but...
:13:29
In any case, these units will be
for sale for all those who qualify.
:13:34
You were asking about the price.
We haven't quite figured it out.
:13:38
We've been dickering around
between 30,000 and...
:13:41
- 35,000, 36,000 per unit, of course.
- Excuse me. Excuse me.
:13:46
Something you want?
:13:48
I didn't mean to interrupt and barge in
:13:50
but I'm looking for a Mrs Williamson.
:13:52
- I'm Mrs Williamson.
- Mrs Beau Williamson?
:13:56
- That's right.
- And who might you be?
:13:58
Uh, Lieutenant Columbo.
You called the police?
:14:02
- I did?
- Well, that's what they told me.
:14:04
I may not be the brightest lady in the world
:14:07
but I do know whether
I made a phone call or not.
:14:10
Obviously, it's some kind of mix-up.
:14:13
I'd like to get this straightened out.
:14:16
Anybody know where Mr Williamson is?
:14:18
- I don't know.
- You mean he's missing?
:14:20
Absence is not necessarily missing.
:14:22
I assume you understand the distinction.
:14:25
It's just that
he's out of town on business.
:14:28
And really, Lieutenant,
I didn't call the police.
:14:32
Well, this is very, very weird
:14:34
because they told me that they got a call
from a Mrs Williamson
:14:38
who said her husband was missing,
maybe dead.
:14:41
(Mrs Williamson) Oh, that's ridiculous.
:14:44
- Wait a minute. Goldie.
- Who's Goldie?
:14:47
My husband's first wife.
She must've called you.
:14:50
Well, why would she do that?
:14:51
Well, Beau's been abroad for eight weeks
:14:54
and he came back on business for a day,
and I guess left again.
:14:58
She gets a little tense when
the alimony cheques are late.
