"'scuse me, sir, you're mr. white, aren't ya? walter white? my name's lieutenant columbo. i'm with the lapd, sir, but the wife an' i are in town ta visit family and i heard some funny stories goin' around...see, i heard the local high school got robbed! say, wasn't it even the school you used ta teach at, sir? i don't mean to pry, but ya know, my wife's been hearin' stuff all over town since we got here. anyway, they stole some chemistry stuff...boy! me, i failed outta chemistry when i was in school, i can't see what anybody'd want with that stuff. but ya know what the strangest thing they took, was, sir? a whole jug of hydrofluoric acid. gee whiz! that's strong stuff, isn't it? could melt through glass, rock, metal, ceramic, anything! anyway, my wife told me she heard someone on the street where we're stayin' with some of her folks out here was sellin' their house. nice place and all, but the bathtub was all eaten through on the bottom! i mean, she told me you coulda see right through to the floor downstairs! and i thought to myself, boy, it's like if somebody put that acid in that tub! but now, that'd be very odd, wouldn't it, sir? i mean, i'd hate to be the fella who took a bath in that stuff. probably wouldn't be much of him left now, would there?"
