Jack Webb voice: This is the city.

Lambertville, New Jersey. I work here.

I carry a tune.

I was changing my name to protect my innocence when I got a call about a 411.

It sounded like good information to me.

But I needed more. A name and a number.

So leave yours and I'll return your call. Or I can send you a FAX.

Nothing but the FAX, ma'am. (Hum the "Dragnet" theme...)
