“Mary Hartman: [On the phone] Grandpa Larkin's at the police station?
Sgt. Foley: Yes, he is.
Mary Hartman: Is he all right?
Sgt. Foley: Well, not exactly.
Mary Hartman: Is he hurt? I mean, what did he have, an accident?
Sgt. Foley: No, he's not hurt. And I'm afraid what happened to him was not an accident.
Mary Hartman: I don't know what you mean.
Sgt. Foley: I'm afraid he did it deliberately. That's why he was arrested.
Mary Hartman: What was he arrested for?
Sgt. Foley: Indecent exposure.
Mary Hartman: [puzzled] Indecent exposure?
Sgt. Foley: That's right. I'm afraid, Miss Hartman, that your grandfather is the Fernwood Flasher.
Mary Hartman: [to Sergeant Foley, stunned] Listen. Uh, um...I can't talk now. I'm on the phone.”
