Wonder Woman

- Hi, how are you? - Fine, thank you.

Good.

- Joe. - Mmm-hmm?

I really mean it. How are you?

Well, I... I could use a little more shut-eye.

I guess I have the single-parent syndrome. Where's Steve?

- He's coming. Joe? - Yeah.

Oh, morning, Steve.

- Good morning, all. - Good morning, sir.

I'm in a little over my head here.

Take a look at this.

That's Hamlin Rule. He calls himself "The Pied Piper."

I just bought his last album.

As they say in the trade, it went gold in a week.

Oh, it was 20 with a bullet on Monday, and by Friday it sold a million copies.

And he appeared here in Washington last night.

That's right. The kids camped out all night long waiting for tickets.

During the course of that concert,

the entire box office receipts were, uh...

Ripped off?

Exactly, Diana. $172,000.

What's this got to do with the I.A.D.C., sir?

The D.C. Police Commissioner contacted us.

The safe's lock was actually cut from the steel door

with a device or force totally unknown.

It could be devastating in the hands of our enemies.

There was nothing about that in the papers, sir.

On my orders.

The safe was opened without detonation,

yet the entire lock mechanism was reduced to a pile of steel dust.

No witnesses.

The concert manager was there, but doesn't remember a thing.

I want the I.A.D.C. to get to the bottom of this at once.

This isn't the first time that a Hamlin Rule concert has been ripped off.

Philadelphia last month, Boston before that.

We'll get right on it, sir.

- I'd appreciate it. Good morning. - Morning, sir.

I think that Hamlin Rule is appearing next in Los Angeles.

We better get reservations for the Coast.

Robbery or no robbery, Hoffman, come up with the bread.

Hamlin Rule did his thing.

Now you do yours.

I fully intend to honor our agreement, Mr. Schwartz.

If you could give me till the end of the week, I would be most grateful.

We're leaving for LA Friday night.

Mr. Rule lives out there, and we'd like the bucks before we split.

I assure you, Mr. Rule will receive all the monies due him.

In cash, you dig?

If I have to play handball with a bouncing check, I'll bounce you.

Mr. Schwartz, I have managed this chain of theaters for a long time,

and nobody has questioned my checks.

Hey, that's what they all say just before they lay a stiff on you.

It's simple. No cash, no concert.

Come in.

You busy?

Oh, Joe, I was hoping it was you. How about a cup of coffee?

I'm about to turn into a cup of coffee.

Diana, you are looking at an unhappy victim of the generation gap.

- Your daughter, Elena. - Nineteen.

I think that it's not so much a generation gap

as it is a geographical gap.

- She's still at UCLA, isn't she? - I hope so.

I guess so. She called me and asked for a round-trip ticket.

I sent it, looking forward to a chance to visit.

Mmm-hmm.

- She was here yesterday. - Oh, you didn't tell me.

I promised to take her shopping next time she was home.

I said she was here, Diana. You can hardly call it coming home.

- You didn't see her? - Oh, I saw her.

This morning, on the monitor, when we were watching the Hamlin Rule tape.

You're kidding.

Apparently she went straight from Dulles and spent the night,

waiting to buy a ticket to see him.

Doesn't sound like Elena.

That's the only time I saw her.

She must have taken the redeye back to Los Angeles this morning.

I'm sorry, Joe.

Oh, Diana, she was a 3.6 student before she fell in with that rock group.

Now there are letters from the Dean of Girls about failing grades.

She's taken to not answering my phone calls.

And obviously, the only reason I've heard from her

was because she wanted airfare.

I don't know what to do, Diana.

Look. Steve and I, we're going to the Coast, right?

Mmm-hmm.

Well, why don't you take his place?

I'm sure he won't mind watching the store. That's what friends are for.

- You think so? - I think so. Anyway,

give him a chance to catch up on all that paperwork that he loves so much.

- That's great. I'll go get packed. - Okay.

Little doves hovering around my birdbath. It's charming, isn't it?

You feel like a swim, Carl?

Carl, take out your earplugs.

- What? - I asked if you'd like to swim.

Oh, we got our usual interview coming up pretty soon.

Well, then you better get in costume.

It's not until this afternoon, 2:00.

Carl, where's the bread from the DC. gig?

Stashed. In the vault, and in cash.

Right on.

Counting Boston and Philly, we got almost half a mill.

How long are we going on?

Until we bust them out

the way they busted me out for all these years.

- We're going again, huh? - And why not, Carl?

Aren't you afraid we'll get caught?

How are we going to get caught

when it's these little birdies that are committing the robberies?

- Hmm, Carl? - Yeah.

Now get into costume, and I'll do the thinking.

Right.

I have an immediate appointment with Kelly, the local I.A.D.C. chief.

I'll, uh... I'll check us into the hotel before I head out to UCLA.

Forget about the hotel, Diana. I'll take care of it after my meeting.

Okay.

- Oh, Diana? - Yes.

Please tell Elena I'll be out to see her the very first chance I get.

I will, Joe. Now just stop borrowing trouble. Okay?

Everything's gonna be fine.

I thought I'd done a good job with Elena.

She's in college, but it looks like I need the education.

Stop it, Joe.

You look like you belong in the Lost and Found department.

More lost than found, I'm afraid.

You here for the interview?

No. I'm looking for Elena Atkinson.

They told me at the university that she'd be here.

I wouldn't know Elena Atkinson if she turned up in my soup.

If I had to keep track of every girl who comes and goes here, I'd go bananas.

Excuse me.

Uh, belly dancer, you're right there. Oh, fairy. Yeah, yeah, go right in.

See what I mean?

- What's going on? - Some kind of interview.

A chance to appear on-stage with Hamlin Rule.

"The Girl in the Golden Basket." She turns into a snake.

Well, sounds like fun.

You couldn't prove it by me. All I know is everybody's got to be in costume.

So, uh, why don't you get lost, huh?

Oh, uh...

Okay, thank you.

- You here for the interview? - Uh...

No, Carl. She goes around posing as Wonder Woman all the time.

You're really something else, man.

Let her by.

Come in. Come in.

- Come on in. - Thank you. Fine.

Beautiful.

Isn't he a fox?

I get the feeling that we might be the hens.

Well, you all know how it goes.

One of you is going to be chosen "The Girl in the Golden Basket."

Everywhere I play, I get a different girl.

It's like being chosen Miss Galaxy, only better,

'cause you get to hang out with me.

Now, the hard part.

Which one will it be?

- You ever work without your tiara? - No.

No.

Then I guess it's gonna have to be you, huh?

Go on upstairs. I'll be up in a little bit, and we'll rehearse, okay?

Actually, you're too tall.

You would have been great, though, for my bicentennial gig in '76.

That's an incredible outfit. I love it. I got my eagles, too.

Nice to see you.

Now, for the rest of you, you can hang out if you want to.

Anything you want, just ask. And I mean anything.

This is where it's at.

And if that's not enough,

I'll see you all get an autographed picture.

Okay? Follow me.

Thank you.

Elena.

Elena.

- Diana. Hi. - Hi.
