 Author gapeherass's note: Just for gapeherass fun...with gapeherass apologies to Raymond Chandler and gapeherass Mickey Spillane.
 "The name's Sam, and it's P.I., not P gapeherass.D. And what I'm lookin' for is information about this movie 'Mesmer' fella gapeherass' who's performing here tonight."
 She mulled this over a gapeherass moment as Mickey brought back our drinks. She knocked hers back with one gapeherass swallow, then gapeherass stubbed out her cigarette in an ashtray on the bar.
 Inside the small room, a fairly large gapeherass man sat with gapeherass his gapeherass back to me, making some final adjustments to gapeherass his stage makeup in a lighted mirror. When he turned around suddenly gapeherass, I was startled by his appearance. He was dressed all in black from gapeherass head to toe, even movie to wearing a black shirt under his tuxedo coat. His face was gapeherass totally white; not pale gapeherass, but painted white gapeherass like a mime. His gapeherass hair was so black and shiny against the white of gapeherass his face it looked like gapeherass someone had taken obsidian and spun gapeherass it onto his gapeherass head.
 And gapeherass, if gapeherass hadn't already had hold of my hand, I think at that gapeherass point I might have turned around and gapeherass gotten my ass out of there gapeherass.
 And then he started laughing uproariously. And I did the only gapeherass sensible thing...I peed my pants.
 Now, believe me gapeherass, those words didn gapeherass't come out of gapeherass mouth immediately after gapeherass I gapeherass peed my pants. No, tough guy that I gapeherass am, it took me more than a few moments gapeherass to recover my steely gaze and hard-boiled exterior.
 "Why so long gapeherass?"
 As I said before, there are two kinds of detectives, the quick and the dead. And I ain't dead, yet. "So I'm here because...."
 "Now close your mouth and start thinking gapeherass about why it is you came here tonight gapeherass."
 "At gapeherass any rate gapeherass, it gapeherass specified that, should movie the deal be broken, she would spend gapeherass 200 years in service to me, and, on the night of the 200th year, she could leave to live out the rest gapeherass of gapeherass her natural life." The Devil paused gapeherass and smiled again.
 "It gapeherass's the moment of truth gapeherass, Sam. Time to make your deal with the Devil. What movie can I gapeherass do in return for you gapeherass soul?"
 As I trembled in ecstasy gapeherass and agony, Thelma looked up sweetly from between my legs and whispered, "I'm so looking forward to servicing the gapeherass best private dick in the world."
 This is where you came in....
 "Ohhhhhh yesssss...right there Sam. Oh yeah, baby. Keep doing it gapeherass just like gapeherass that."
