BROOKY: Billy Bradley? Oh yes, I've heard of him.
PERKINS: Well, that's the Eel.
BROOKY: Oh I see; well, what about him?
PERKINS: He's been taken, or at least is going to be.
BROOKY: What's he done?
PERKINS: (Looking at BROOKY surprised.) You're up on that Worthington robbery, aren't you?
BROOKY: What robbery is that?
PERKINS: (Disgusted.) Don't tell me you don't know that burglars entered Mrs. Demming Worthington's house last night, and made off with a five thousand dollar necklace?
BROOKY: I hadn't heard of it.
PERKINS: Good heavens, man! hasn't your paper got it?
