- Detective Kerploppus: I believe there's something of interest in today's Monsterville Times.
- Little Monster: Give it here, old chum.
- [he gets the newspaper]
- Little Monster: Ah, they're replacing the sand in the sandbox at Weedle Park. It's about time.
- Detective Kerploppus: Most newsworthy indeed. But look at the headline.
- Little Monster: Missing: Famous Egyptologist Professor Pickle. Last seen at the tomb of Thanxfurnuthen. The long lost mummy of the 27th and a half monster dynasty. Holy smokes, Detective Kerploppus! Our friend the professor has certainly got himself into quite a pickle this time!
- Detective Kerploppus: Indeed, chief inspector. Indeed.
- [They hear the phone ringing. Kerploppus picks it up]
- Detective Kerploppus: Little Monster Private Eye Headquarters. Detective Kerploppus speaking.
- [he hears a woman talking]
- Detective Kerploppus: Chief inspector, it's Dr. Croonie for you!
- Little Monster: Dr. Croonie, don't you worry. Detective Kerploppus and I will be on our way in two shakes of a toad's tail and we'll find Professor Pickle just as quick. They don't call me Little Monster Private Eye for nothing, you know.
- [he hangs up]
- Little Monster: To the mysterious land of Egypt, on the double, Detective!
- Detective Kerploppus: Right to you, chief inspector!
