It's the principle of the thing. -:D

Refers to an old mystery, I believe. A detective is called in to find a "purloined letter" of the Queen's. Purloined is a fancy way to say "stolen", really. Anyway, the police are unable to find it despite searching the theif's apartment and his person several times. The detective, however, devises a clever plan to steal the letter back. I'm not sure if it's in France or wherever, but the letter was from a Duke or someone, and it would cause a great deal of trouble to the Queen if it was given to the King. So, naturally, someone else finds and steals it.

I won't spoil the story, but I must say it's a nice touch to this. Seeing as how they stole the movie right out from under his oversized nose...

nice deal though,

this is what you call a win/don't lose as badly scenario

course the other guy still lost but that's not the point.

So Nip is going to make a whole lot of money now?

Is nip gonna be giving up his stuntman job?

I cant' see him in any sort of deskjob.

Nah, he can now afford bigger and better stunts and explosions.

To explain.. The whole concept of the Purloined Letter was that the aforementionned letter was hidden in plain sight. Now, I won't tell you where.

It looks like Nip is getting pretty good at advancing the careers of several pretty young ladies. First, there was Denise, who became Charlie's new agent. Then came Minerva, who finally got that feature story she was looking for. Now there's Miss Ruth getting promoted from secretary to CEO. What's his next big feat going to be...

It was a mystery written by Edger Allan Poe. (when he wasn't Raven )

As per where the letter was hidden? I won't raise the mantle of suspicion just yet.

Let me guess, It was on the Mantle.

Why tell when one can have the pleasure of reading the story?

You realize that Nip et all are probably better armed.

oops....that was silly, I saw the Wishbone version of it, though I think 'Chirade' is a better version of it.
--still can't grasp principle---
but I like the pottery as an icon...

Now it's time to really rake in the cash.

In only fifteen minutes? I bet I can think of an exception.....um.....One Piece again? Although he does lose his arm in the beginning....

Or what would happen if ILM hired Jerry Bruckheimer.

This is what Hollywood is progressing to--the next big action blockbuster is going to be two hours straight of stuff blowing up. They're just gonna call it "Jerry Bruckheimer's STUFF BLOWS UP!!!!!".

It'll set a box-office record.
