brushfire. Hey, what's the idea of running my customer off? We just wanna have a little chat with you. - You the new owner of this shop? - That's right. What can I do for you? - Nice place. - Thank you. You know, this is a rough neighbourhood. Bet you'd hate to see something happen to your little key store. What about my little keister? Key store. You give us 50 bucks a week and we make sure your place stays safe. I'm not interested. We'd hate to have to make you interested. Get out of my shop! You get nothing from me. I think you're gonna be sorry you said that, mister. Oh, yeah? You and who else? Easy, Rock. We'll see you around. Take care. Well, Norberg, looks like we made contact with the organisation. You know, I was just thinking, Lieutenant, what if we offered one key free for every three keys duplicated? And they know we're not gonna be easy. The next move is up to them. But only as a limited-time offer. Look out! It looks like they mean business. I went back to the lab to find out what Olson had come up with. The rock that came through our window was their first warning. I knew it wouldn't be long before we were contacted again. So, Billy, electrostatic particles are created by an imbalance of electrons. The resulting charge is what we scientists call static electricity. Gee. It's just like when your mom takes a dress out of the dryer, puts it on and it clings to every supple curve and soft, round... Hi, Frank. Why don't you run along now, Billy. Next week don't forget to bring in those magazines you found under your father's bed. Okay, Mr Olson. Bye. - What do you got, Ted? - Not very much, Frank. I did a complete rundown on the rock that came through your window. No fingerprints, no laundry marks. It's clean. It's a heck of an efficient weapon, Frank. You have to admire the simplicity of design. Where'd it come from? It's very interesting. I have a theory about that. As you know, Frank, billions of years ago our Earth was a molten mass. But for some reason not understood by scientists, the Earth cooled, forming a crust, a hard igneous shell. What we scientists call rock. The next morning, Officer Norberg and I continued our business as if nothing had happened. But I knew we hadn't seen the last of our two persuasive friends. They were obviously determined to controI the neighbourhood and I was determined to try to stop them any way I could. - Something I can do for you? - Ox smith? No, no, no, no, locksmith. Locksmith. Hi, Norberg. I'm glad you're back, Lieutenant. Business is booming. I just got a huge order to deliver some deadbolts. - Be back in a few minutes. - No problem. Well, if it isn't the insurance salesmen. You should be more careful with your property. Yeah, we heard you had a bad accident. It's too bad you weren't protected. The way I look at it, you owe me $100 for that window. Us? I don't know what you're talking about. So, how do you explain this? Well, billions of years ago the Earth was a molten mass. I'm not interested in that. You owe me $100. Now cough it up. That's only a 20. Rocky. Why don't you lie there till Tuesday. That's when they pick up the garbage. You idiots. You stupid, lame-brained, inept morons! - What's wrong, Dutch? - "What's wrong, Dutch?" You make a hero out of a punk like that, people start getting ideas. They think we're soft. Pretty soon, we're out of business. I'll take care of this myself. When you get through with him, can we work him over? I'm afraid that won't be possible. When I get through with him, he'll be dead. Okay, that'll be eight padlocks, five combos, two deadbolts and a dozen hide-a-keys. By the way, would you be interested in our holiday gift set? All right, I just thought I'd ask. Be right over. - Got a delivery, Frank. - Right, Norberg. May I help you? Yes, I'd like my apartment key duplicated, please.
