What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey, let me help you. Hello, how can you lift that much from the bench by yourself? I knew you'd come. Why does our cellar look like a gym? Well, because I was thinking of testing your new gym clothes. And you probably got all these clothes really cheap again.
Well, in fact... In fact, you can find profitable tools from Bealteema. It was a question of your own or a friend's project.

Broadway's My Beat, from Times Square to Columbus Circle, the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world.
Broadway's My Beat, with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover.
In the time of April, Broadway walks a street dappled with sunlight. The time of the breeze sighing in from the river, touching your cheek and making a smile. It's a time to wake up to and keep on dreaming. Of far places and silver bells and the slow curve of ocean. The month of being young again and search again. The thing to do is to give up to it. Except about the job. The rent to pay, buy the beer, leave the tip, meet the installment. It's April, but... You've got to make a living. Maybe next year, kid. And through the Venetian blinds, the morning sunlight patterned itself on the floor across the rattan furniture. In the place where I was, four stories up, recreation room, Globe Secretarial School, where the girl's sprawled body was.
And the two bewildered people.
You can ask me all the questions you want. All I can tell you is this girl's name, Lois Conrad.
And she's a student here at your school, Mrs. Hewitt?
Yes. I registered her myself about three months ago.
Perhaps I can tell you a little something, Mr. Clover. All right, Mr. Hewitt, what?
Miss Conrad is a student in my typing class. Her first class this morning at 9.30, she didn't show up.
Who reported this girl's stab, Mr. Hewitt? Miss Lindsay did. She's my best pupil.
Yes, one of the finest we've ever had here at Globe.
Tell me how Miss Lindsay found her. Well, I suppose she finished the typing test early, came up here to the rec room to relax, then she came running down to the office.
She came running to me, Mr. Clover. It was I who called the police.
That was a little before 10.30 this morning, wasn't it? About a half hour ago.
Yes, that's right. I told you that three times now. I can show you where I've got the time I call jotted down on my desk calendar.
You act as registrar here?
Dean. I also teach shorthand and bookkeeping.
Just your husband and yourself run this school?
Would you like to see our license?
Please, Sylvia.
Isn't it bad enough what the news of this poor girl's death is going to do to us, but he has to come... Sylvia, he has his job. Yes, Carla. All right, Carla. It just seems to me that this poor girl lying there... One more thing.
Anyone could come up to this recreation room, couldn't he? I mean, an outsider, he could just walk in here, isn't that so?
Oh, yes.
Yes, we always have open house for the public.
