• [last lines] 

  [Les believes that Jennifer's house is haunted] 

  Les Nessman : What happened?

  Jennifer Marlowe : I beg your pardon?

  Les Nessman : Last night at that house. Anything happen?

  Jennifer Marlowe : Well, I met a lady whose car I had to replace, and I discovered we have a sex pervert in the neighborhood.

  Les Nessman : No, no, I mean did anything unusual happen?

  Jennifer Marlowe : Oh, you mean *unusual*.

  Les Nessman : Yes, you know.

  Jennifer Marlowe : Well, there was the sound of a door slamming - or maybe it was a shutter - then suddenly lightning and thunder, and then the lightning and thunder and wind disappeared as quickly as they came. After my guests had gone, I checked with the television news, and they reported that the skies had been clear throughout the Cincinnati area all night long. No inclement weather at all.

  Les Nessman : [defiantly]  I knew it.

  Jennifer Marlowe : So I decided to turn in around midnight.

  Les Nessman : Midnight? Never turn in at midnight.

  Jennifer Marlowe : Is that wrong?

  Les Nessman : Well, of course it is.

  Jennifer Marlowe : Well, I didn't know, Les.

  Les Nessman : Grow up, Jennifer.

  Jennifer Marlowe : All right. Anyway, I start to hear these noises on the third floor - such strange noises. I couldn't decide if it was a sound or a voice.

  Les Nessman : You have a very evil house. I knew that. I knew it. Go on.

  Jennifer Marlowe : [increasingly more scared]  Well, then I started to climb the stairs to the third floor, and as I did, the hall light went out. Well, I just froze. I couldn't go back because I couldn't see, but I could go forward because... because, from under the third floor bedroom door, a light appeared. Something or someone was in that room. But that door is always locked. I don't really know what happened next. I thought I might faint, because there was a force, a power. So I turned around, and the thing spoke to me.

  Les Nessman : What did it say?

  Jennifer Marlowe : [in a sinister tone]  It said, "Where's Les?"

  Les Nessman : What?

  Jennifer Marlowe : It said, "Where's Les Nessman?" So I said, "He's gone home. But if you come down to the kitchen, I'll give you his phone number, and address." And so I did, and the thing thanked me and went away.

  [Les giggles nervously as the reception telephone starts to ring] 

  Jennifer Marlowe : [answering the telephone]  WKRP.

  Jennifer Marlowe : [turning to Les with the receiver]  Les, it's for you.

  [Les is about to take the receiver from Jennifer then slowly backs away in fear]
