- Shelby Woo: He left our money, but look, your secret box.
- Mike 'Grandpa' Woo: Mmmmm... what, something?
- Shelby Woo: Some sort of special tweezers.
- Mike 'Grandpa' Woo: Ah ha.
- Shelby Woo: Grandpa, what is it?
- Mike 'Grandpa' Woo: The answer's in San Francisco.
- Shelby Woo: San Francisco? Where you worked?
- Mike 'Grandpa' Woo: We don't have time to talk now, we must pack, we have to catch an early plane.
- Shelby Woo: But Grandpa!
- Mike 'Grandpa' Woo: I have waited a long time for this second chance to solve the Alley Cat crime.
- Mike 'Grandpa' Woo: Four years ago when I was still with the San Francisco police, we were facing a very perplexing thief, The Alley Cat.
- [shows Shelby a newspaper]
- Shelby Woo: [reads headline] 'Alley Cat steals Waterman Pearls'. Pearls? they look like golf balls!
- Mike 'Grandpa' Woo: [chuckles] You don't want to smash these with any clubs; this guy Waterman says they're priceless and he should know, he's a very good jeweler.
- Shelby Woo: So the Alley Cat's still out there, but why did he come after you so many years later?
- Mike 'Grandpa' Woo: For the key stolen from my box last night. Here's what it looked like, the thief left it behind when he took the pearls.
- Shelby Woo: What would you do with big old stolen pearls like that?
- Mike 'Grandpa' Woo: I don't know, I wouldn't do anything.
- Shelby Woo: I mean you couldn't sell them, you couldn't wear them, they're too famous.
- Mike 'Grandpa' Woo: I suppose. I'm thinking about other things right now.
- Shelby Woo: Want to share?
- Mike 'Grandpa' Woo: Not particularly.
- Eliot Waterman: Thank you, Mr. Woo.
- Mike 'Grandpa' Woo: No, thank Shelby. My granddaughter, she figured out this whole case.
- Shelby Woo: I can't believe I'm off to San Francisco to solve a case with the famous criminalist, Mike Woo.
- Mike 'Grandpa' Woo: Correction, I am going to San Francisco to solve the case, you are here for me to make safe.
- Shelby Woo: Right.
