This piaoe is so, secret that only you and 1 know about it, Bill. le that a scoop or what? I stumbled on this place when 1 was doing an investi- gative piece on who does Bob Rae's dry cleaning. You mean, like when Bob gets sweaty under the armp Wits when people question his policies, and gets stafi ~ail over his shirts and jackets? And then, is this a pei'onal item or does he put it on his expense account as the cost of doing business? HOLEDAWK: You read your briefing, I see. Onl Z those were my lines, y ou twit. But even that can t sour my mood. For though this Furor Bunker ie surprise enough, 1 have a scoop that's goîng te lift you out of your goochies or gauchies, or whatever. Oh, goody. Some news. But first, tell me, how did you get down there? I thought you were doing an expose on a maple sugar bush. HOLEDAWK: Oh, that's sweet, Bill. I was pufling this caper where I paid this guy ten bucks te let me deliver Rae's suit te Queen'i Park, and I got sent down here through a hidden doorway.
