May I take the liberty of using a moment or two to describe this knife I'm holding?
A moment more won't hurt, Heath.
Now, please, everyone, look at this knife.
It's Arabian.
The handle is of ivory and the blade solid steel.
I've selected this knife because it closely resembles the one used to kill Danny Claxton.
Now, for the purpose of this experiment, I need an assistant.
Someone to pose as the murderer.
May I ask the lady in blue?
Well, for one thing, I'd like you to look slightly less glamorous.
It's completely demoralizing, distracting, and downright inconsiderate.
Will you take this knife, please, lady, and hold it in your right hand?
That's fine.
Thank you.
Markham.
Yes?
Yes?
Please stand over by the door, next to the light switch, will you?
Now, Tony, please don't fall asleep.
This might be interesting to you.
