Radio can really tell a story, paint a picture in your mind. Listen to radio with my mom in the 50's., Now I'm 73, Alone with covid19 destroying the world, radio is the best thing now.

This episode was written by Blake Edwards who became a famous Hollywood movie director. The Pink Panther movies, for instance, among many others.

Diamond gets smacked upside of the head so many times throughout the series... once I think he got knocked out like 5 times in one show [wth?] it's a wonder the poor bugger can even walk let alone talk in a straight sentence LMAO!! Go Diamond the invincible!

I know that these transcriptions are edited. Some of the cuts are mid word, thereby changing the meaning of the dialog or confusing the issue. Just one example can be heard at 1:20 on the time line where his customary slogan gag is obliterated. Why?

I don’t think it’s a cut at 1:20 - I think he is saying, “hap... py homicide!” Similar to the great Tim Curry’s delivery of anticip...pation.
