HUGO: big day, first case; girl's gone, no trace. Small town, no crime, now Treegap's hit the big time. What's that? Fresh tracks. Who's there? Relax. Footprints, size nine. A clue- yahoo! Nope... these are mine. No dirty deed goes as planned. Look, that's what it says in my deputy handbook! Even the best crook leaves you a clue. Big day, first case; girl's gone, no trace. Hugo, you know what to do.


CONSTABLE JOE: Hugo! There you are. This being your first missing persons case, I recommend you keep your eyes open and your mouth closed.

HUGO: house call adjourned.  Leave no stone unturned. Flip here, flip there- these flipping things are everywhere!

CONSTABLE JOE: Hugo! Get a clue and let's get on with it.


HUGO: will you make deputy...?
