The Young and the Lifeless/Transcript

Chief Andrea Marquez: Hello there,  ! Hope you're as excited as I am to head to our next district!

Amy: Hi . I'm here too. Ready to get back to some police work...

Andrea: Amy! What are you doing here? After everything that happened in White Peaks... What happened with your brother... You should be resting!

Amy: I'll admit, I've had better days, but I know that getting back to work should clear my mind...

Andrea: That's nonsense. You need to rest, Amy. I'll assign Frank to show   around Ivywood.

Frank: Me? But I can't stand Ivywood!

Andrea: Oh please, Frank. It's sunshine everyday in Ivywood! It's where all your dreams come true!

Andrea: There are movie sets galore with new films being made daily... , you might even run into celebrities!

Frank: No thanks. All those people with their tiny barking dogs and fake smiles-

Andrea (shouting): Frank! You do your job or I'm sending you back home... without pay!

Frank: Alright! I'll do it, relax! Come on , let's go before I get a whoopin'!

At the Ivywood Sign...

Frank: Well there you have it, , the best view of all of Ivywood... and also the best place to take a nap!

Frank: If you don't mind, I'll just be snoozing right over here...

Frank: What's that, ? Something seems wrong by the sign?

Frank: Oh fine, let's go investigate. Why do I have a feeling that this isn't going to be the relaxing day I was hoping for...

Chapter 1
Investigate Ivywood Sign.

Frank Knight: Jeepers! That girl tied to the sign's been killed! And that smile cut into her face? That's nasty to the third degree!

Frank: And no identification on her... we're off to a bad start. Hopefully Roxie can tell us something useful. You'll send the body over, right ?

Frank: And those pieces you picked up were broken when you found them, right? Not like you stepped on them? Either way, have fun putting them back together!

Frank: And this fresh tire track... at first I thought you were just playing in the mud, but now I think you're on to something, !

Frank: What you're saying , is that there's no car here, so the killer must have left this track while driving away!

Frank: If you match the tire track to identify the vehicle, we'll know what type of car the killer drove! Come on, , let's make the killer feel sorry for leaving such a clue for you!

Examine Tire Track.

Frank (pumping his fist): Nice going, you matched the tire track we found on the crime scene to a convertible car!

Frank: Good thing we have an expert investigator here... me! Just kidding, this one's thanks to you, . Our killer definitely drives a convertible!

Examine Broken Pieces.

Frank: Well , you restored a pair of... What the heck are those? Sunglasses? I can't stand all this glittery, sparkl-

Holly (holding her pen and pad): Those would be my sunglasses. Good thing I have another pair because it looks like you broke them.

Frank: First of all, lady, you should be thanking  <Name> for fixing them. Second, why were they on our crime scene?!

Holly: Precisely because it is a crime scene, darling. I was here to cover the murder before anyone else!

Frank: Then <Rank> <Name> will need to question you on how you knew that before the police!

Holly (holding her pen and pad): Sure, but make it quick. In case you didn't know, I'm Holly Hopper, Gossip Columnist, and every second away is a precious scandal story untold!

Talk to Holly Hopper about her presence on the Crime Scene.

Frank: Spill the beans, Ms Hopper. Your sunglasses were on the crime scene. How did you know about the crime before the police, and why didn't you report it?

Holly: Oh please, sugar. It's my job to find scandal. You don't expect a journalist to spoil all her secrets, do you?

Holly (holding her pen and pad): And of course I would have reported the crime... right after publishing my article! It's called "Broken Dreams on the Horizon."

Frank: You're going to need to speak to our Police Chief about publishing that. We still need to verify the victim's identity and-

Holly (holding her pen and pad): Oh silly man, I've already done all that. Her name is Felicia Steppingstone, another actress who came to Ivywood to become a star.

Holly: She hit the spotlight a couple months back for winning that reality show "Pretty Simple Life," and she's been all the gossip since!

Holly (holding her phone): Want the advice of a professional? I'd check the Imperial Theater where she signed a star yesterday for the walk of fame.

Holly (holding her pen and pad): Take the tip or leave it, just don't forget to read the Holly Hopper column for all the hottest gossip!

(After talking to Holly Hopper)

Frank: That Holly Hopper thinks she knows everything, huh? Even about our victim signing a star at the Imperial Theater.

Frank: Really, <Name>? You think we should take her word for it? Well if you insist, I guess we can take a look there!

Investigate Theater Entrance.

Frank: Well, <Name>, you managed to pick up some potentially interesting clues. Is that our victim's face on that CD? Can you reveal the rest of the faded text?

Frank: And do you mind if I go watch a film while you look through that refreshment box?

Frank: I'm kidding, I'll stick around to see what you find in it!

Examine CD.

Frank: I'll admit, you revealed the text on that CD rather quickly. It reads "Songs 4 My Luv."

Frank (laughing): Wow. Whoever made this CD for the victim couldn't even spell the word "love" correctly! Oh well, better send it to the lab to see who this idiot is!
