Time to review what happened during that TV pilot episode we’ve been talking about here for the last few weeks, so if you’ve been reading the comments here, this will be review.
Good to know that Tracy is awaiting a warrant once again. Once he gets his warrant, I suppose there will be a friendly visit (or not so friendly) to Mr. Memory’s premises.
Not quite sure why Tracy & Sam need to wait around for a warrant. According to this story, Mr. Memory is a parolee … & as far as I know, parolees don’t have the same rights & protections as non-parolees … & they can have their parole revoked just on suspicion they’ve violated it or have re-engaged. in criminal activity. Seems like Mike is once again dragging a story out, instead of just getting the train to the station in the fastest, most direct way possible, to use a phrase I’ve heard from professional editors.
“And you remember the ‘amnesia’ gimmick that he used to get out of being arrested? Reverting to mild-mannered scholarly plumbing instructor Percival Mc Feebie II? It was uncanny. Like something he might have seen on some camp TV show.”
Love the “Caution Piranhas” sign on the fish tank. It’s great to see that Memory is a safety conscious supervillain. Reminds me of the OSHA signs that Blofeld had posted around his secret oil rig headquarters in Diamonds are Forever.
1-SAM: Do you know how every defense lawyer claims that we get a suspect in mind and then we ignore every other possibility in our effort to prove our hunch?
DT: What’re you getting’ at?
2-SAM: Welllll…you landed on Memory pretty quick for these bank jobs and he’s never been involved in any kind of robbery before. Maybe you…and I’m not saying its true…but maybe you just want to get even for that piranha Dick-Dunking he gave you?
DT: I don’t know what you’re talking about, Sam
SAM: Are you aware that you just grabbed your crotch with both hands?
DT: Huh? Oh. SHADDAP SAM! Lets go erase a bad Memory…
Well, of course! It’s Throwback Thursday! The Great NATO Heist is revisited, just to fill in background for those who do not get all you need to know from these rich comments.
Details matter: what warrant, Tracy, on what grounds, to do what?
1-DT: So Memory was an old hippie who wore a headband and prided himself on the prog rock and deep cuts he listened to on an elaborate FM Radio he made that brought in all the pirate stations. SO, I knew if I tuned into the drive-time J Puzzle Whiz Top 10 Hit Parade on WAKY Radio and cranked it up he would blow a gasket.
2-CHIEF ON WRIST RADIO: CALLING DICK TRACY!
DT: Deek Tracy is no here, seen-yor. Hee hee.
CHIEF: WHO IS THIS? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH TRACY, YOU FIEND!
DT: Nothing seen-yor. You have called the wrong number. CHIEF: OH! Sorry. I’ll try again. SAM: Tracy, you dog!
CHIEF: CALLING DICK TRACY!
DT: Herro? No Dick Tlacy. You make long numba, Joe.
CHIEF: DAMMIT! WHAT’S LONG – I MEAN WRONG WITH THIS THING!!!

Good morning™, memory captures !
Dick has a good “memory” too. Will the old Memory charm work on Dick like it has on the Plenty’s ?

Dick’s memory is slipping. How else do you explain Mr. Memory’s different clothes?
We all know that in Tracyville nobody changes clothes!!!

Don’t need computers for a piranha tank. Just a good storyboard…

Many years ago, on The Young And The Restless, there was a ruthless mob boss who decided to stick a snitch’s fingers into a piranha tank.

I see what they did. A-fin-ity and the tank of piranhas!

I wonder which regulatory agency requires that piranhas be labeled with a caution sign.

Sam says Mr. Memory may be an ATM thief, until they have proof. No D.A. can go into court with speculation, the judge will throw it out.

Meanwhile,all Sniffles needs is an owl’s egg,and he wins.
