Agnes DiPestos' Rhyming Times

Who doesn't like Agnes DiPesto? She's sweet and kind, and had a knack for rhymes :) In the beginning, she was ditzy, annoyed Maddie, and David often made funny comments about her. By the end of the series, she was a wise sage who understood Maddie and David's relationship better than they did. She became Maddie's confidant and David's personal "Jiminy Cricket." I always enjoyed the rhymes, so I rewound a thousand times and tried to decipher them. I found out that Agnes didn't have a rhyme in every episode and sometimes rhymed other then when answering the phone. When she answered the phone sometimes she said Blue Moon Investigations, but most of the time she said Blue Moon Detective Agency. Other people also rhymed, I included theirs too. For the most part the rhymes were easy to figure out, but there were a few occasions where I couldn't figure out exactly what she said. I did the best I could. If there are any rhymes I missed or if you think she said something differently, please e-mail me!

Security Guy: What kind of clothes?
Maddie: What kind of clothes?
David: What kind of clothes do you suppose?
Security Guy: What kind of clothes do I suppose would be worn by a man with a mole on his nose?
Who knows?
David: Did I happen to mention, did I bother to disclose, this man that we're seeking with a mole on his nose
I'm not sure of his clothes or anything else, except he's Chinese, a big clue by itself.
Security Guy: I'm sorry to say, I'm sad to report I haven't seen anyone at all of that sort.
Not a man who's Chinese with a mole on his nose, in some kind of clothes that you can't suppose.
So get away from this door and get out of this place, or I'll have to hurt you, put my foot in your face.
