[Brain and Maggie knock on a door which is answered by Romero, the Duke of New York's right-hand man. Romero is now wearing Cabbie's cap on his head]
Brain : Hey, Romero. Where'd you get that cap?
Romero : I got it from Cabbie.
Brain : How?
Romero : I traded it.
Brain : Traded it? For what?
Romero : A cassette. Something I found in the President's briefcase. Cabbie saw it and wanted it for his collection. So, I told him he had to give me something to get it.
Brain : Oh... a cassette?
Romero : Why are you so nervous?
Brain : Me and Maggie, we've come to see the President.
Romero : Who says?
Brain : The Duke.
Romero : No, he doesn't.
Brain : All right. I'll go tell him you said that.
Romero : Wait a minute. Why?
Brain : The President has something hidden in his clothes and the Duke wants it.
Romero : What is it?
Brain : Let me in and I'll show you.
Romero : You'll tell me!
Brain : Cyanide capsules. The Duke don't want a dead President.
