Now it 12 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:34,280 is time for this week's episode of Mister Chameleon. Now, we did skip 13 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,079 an episode from last week. That was because that's a Christmas e episode. 14 00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:42,879 We're going to play that at Christmas. So the original airedate on this one 15 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:48,799 is December the twenty ninth, nineteen forty eight, and the title is Death 16 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,680 and the Talking Parrot. Next Mister Chameleon and the Case of Death and the 17 00:01:55,719 --> 00:02:29,639 Talking Parrot. Tonight we again present the famous mister Cameleon of Central Headquarters in 18 00:02:29,719 --> 00:02:34,400 his most famous Cases of Crime and Murder, brought to you by the makers 19 00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:39,240 of genuine Bayer Aspirin. Now let me tell you just who mister Chameleon is. 20 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,680 A college man, he tried from childhood to live up to the name 21 00:02:44,719 --> 00:02:49,759 he bore Chameleon, by taking on the color of whatever situation in which he 22 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,680 found himself, appearing in endless guises, finally entering the police force, where 23 00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:00,520 he became known as Chameleon, the man of many faces, the under world's 24 00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:05,919 most dreaded man. The listener invariably knows who mister Camelion is, no matter 25 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,840 which disguise he assumes, but the criminal he's tracking down seldom does. To 26 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,800 night, we give you mister Camelion in the Case of Death and the Talking 27 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:30,919 Parrot. Almost all of us can become deeply attached to a pet, and 28 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,719 sometimes the pet can be very strange. Indeed, for instance, Laurel Madison, 29 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,159 young and lovely, is devoted to her parrot, a raucous creature with 30 00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:42,680 a wicked eye, and we find her now at night in the living room 31 00:03:42,719 --> 00:03:46,599 of her apartment, talking affectionately to the parrot as she takes him out of 32 00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:50,599 his cage. Come on, whitey, I want to spread your wings a 33 00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:54,120 bit, eh, Come on. That's the book. Fun as fan washed 34 00:03:54,159 --> 00:04:00,280 un us downe fun as panne highty. By Heaven's sakes, you have to 35 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,520 keep saying that silly rhyme. Sometimes you're very tired. Done. All right, 36 00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:11,319 all right, I heard you the first time. What was that sounded 37 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,560 like the front door closing? Hush, whity hush, Is anyone there? 38 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:26,279 Oh, it's you. What are you doing here? Hello? Hellod b 39 00:04:26,439 --> 00:04:30,800 still how did you get in? Have you still got your key? Hello? 40 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,639 Hello? Why didn't you tell me you were coming? Tom look at 41 00:04:35,639 --> 00:04:41,120 me like that and keep away from me. I know you said you were 42 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,360 going to kill me, but you can't. No, you can't. Oh 43 00:04:44,399 --> 00:05:02,000 no, please please stop it. And the following morning, in the wildly 44 00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:06,040 upset apartment, mister Camellion, the Great Detective, is kneeling beside the dead 45 00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:12,160 body of Laurel Madison and saying to the excited man standing next to him, 46 00:05:12,519 --> 00:05:15,000 is this exactly the way you found the bouty, missus smithers, Yes, 47 00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:17,759 mister comedian, I'm the building superintendent, and I wanted to get in to 48 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,000 fix a leaking pipe. I rang the doorbell, and I rang it and 49 00:05:21,079 --> 00:05:25,600 rang it on you. She must be home, and then you let yourself 50 00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:29,120 in with the passkey. That's right. Say it's awful, It's awful. 51 00:05:29,399 --> 00:05:32,279 Miss Madison was such a pretty girl, one of the highest paid models in 52 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,920 New York. Yes, I know, I know. I've seen a picture 53 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:42,399 on many magazine cover She was strangled to death with this chiffon's scarf. Either 54 00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:45,920 a man could have done it or a woman who were a friend. But 55 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,279 I don't know, mister comedian. She had a lot of friends, a 56 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,839 lot of boyfriends, particularly the name. I really couldn't tell you. Do 57 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,360 you mean they tipped you not to tell? Oh? No, no, 58 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,240 no, no, no, right smothers. All right, stop shaking. 59 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,959 No one has accused you of anything. I'm not shaking. I certainly I 60 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,920 am not guilty of anything. Eh, where's the other man with you, 61 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,519 Detective Sergeant Dave Arnold, He's gone to question the neighbors. Don't forget. 62 00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:15,920 It was still fairly early last night when Laurel Madison died, the colonel says 63 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,079 about eleven pm. She must have put up a struggle and someone must have 64 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:26,519 heard it. What is that cage over there? Oh, that's a parrot 65 00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:29,800 cage. Miss Madison had a parrot. She called it Whitey. Well, 66 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,519 the cage is empty when the pedro get out. There's no prot here when 67 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,360 you found the body, was there? No, mister comedian, where is 68 00:06:35,399 --> 00:06:39,879 it? It must have gotten away. Miss Madison often let it out, 69 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,680 and the bedroom window was open. Whitey must have flown out the window last 70 00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:46,839 night. Mister Smithers, you know, I think you are lying about that 71 00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:49,759 parrot. But I'm not lying. I tell you I'm not common. Yes, 72 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,639 Dave, I'm here. So I just heard the darnist story from the 73 00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:57,240 woman who lives in the apartment next door. It seems miss Madison had a 74 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,720 parrot. As we were just discussing that thing about a quarter to eleven at 75 00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:04,120 the time Miss Madison was murdered, this woman heard the parrot screaming, Hello 76 00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:08,759 Evelyn, Hello Evelyn. Of course it may mean nothing, and it may 77 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,720 mean a great deal. Mister Smethers, did miss Madison know anyone named Evelyn? 78 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,360 Yes, mister Comeleion, ever in Scott. She lived here for a 79 00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:19,079 while. She's a model too. She works for Porter's Agency, just like 80 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,519 Miss Madison. She was only here for a month. She left kind of 81 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:29,680 abrupt, like I seem okay, Dave, let's try and find miss Evelyn 82 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,439 Scott. That shouldn't be difficult, not as difficult, I suspect as finding 83 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,519 that parrot parrot. Mister cameleon, why do you want to find the parrot? 84 00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:42,879 Because the parrot day was the only witness to the murder, and mister 85 00:07:42,959 --> 00:07:58,759 Smithers, I fully intend to find that witness, the Scott. I realize 86 00:07:58,759 --> 00:08:01,399 it is difficult to discuss your friend Laurel Madison's murder, but you got to 87 00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:07,360 answer my questions and tell me the truth. Why did you quarrel with him? 88 00:08:07,519 --> 00:08:09,279 Why did you leave the apartment? And why did the parrot call your 89 00:08:09,399 --> 00:08:13,879 name last night at the time of the murder. I can't imagine, mister 90 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,560 comedian, I think you can. You still have a key to the apartment, 91 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,720 Well, yes, I have, good Heavens, you don't think that 92 00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:24,879 I killed Laurel Madison. The parrot called out your name, Evelyn several times, 93 00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:28,519 but I don't understand it. He never used to when I was there, 94 00:08:30,199 --> 00:08:33,559 Holly'd ever say was fun is fun? What's done is done? I 95 00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:37,480 mean it. He fixed me with that beady eye and recite that silly rhyme. 96 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,000 He never spoke my name. The parrot did last night. Mascott, 97 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:48,360 Why did you quarrel with Laurel Madison because she took the man I loved away 98 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:54,159 from me? Larry Blaine. Larry Blaine, you mean the younger brother of 99 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,240 Stewart Blaine. Do you know him? Everyone knows Stuart Blaine, the big 100 00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:01,080 steel man in the family. Is that is? They are very uppercross society? 101 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,200 Oh? Yes, I know that. Laurel Madison wasn't any better than 102 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,919 I am. I love Larry Blaine, and Laurel knew it. She only 103 00:09:09,919 --> 00:09:13,159 went after him to prove she could get him away from me. You hated 104 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:18,080 her, didn't you, Miss Scott? I'm afraid I did. And the 105 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,279 parrot called my name last night when she was murdered. You have a perfect 106 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,720 case against me. If you didn't do it, you have nothing to worry 107 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,279 about. If you did, you have a great deal to be afraid of, 108 00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:33,759 Miss Scott. Do you know where I can find Larry Blainey he's usually 109 00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:37,720 at home, and if I know anything about it, you'll find that mother 110 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,120 of his right beside him. I see that you're not very fond of Larry 111 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:46,320 Blaine's mother. Well, thank you, miss Scott, I shall be seeing 112 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:58,440 you again. And Evelyn Scott is right. But when mister Camellon calls to 113 00:09:58,519 --> 00:10:03,440 question Larry Blaine, Missus Lawrence Archibald Blaine does sit beside her son Larry, 114 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,720 on the brocaded sofa in the magnificent drawing room of their home. And mister 115 00:10:07,799 --> 00:10:11,720 Camellion, who has defeated many adversaries in his time, senses that Missus Blaine 116 00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:16,399 is a formidable upon it. Missus Blaine, you have no reason to resent 117 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,600 my questioning of your son. You don't seem to understand that Laurel Madison has 118 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:26,799 been murdered. I also don't understand why my son Larry should be dragged into 119 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,919 it. Perhaps Larry does. What do you mean, mister Cammedian, I 120 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,840 didn't kill Laurel. I hadn't even seen her in more than a week. 121 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:37,279 Why not because she said something I didn't like about Reverend Scott. Oh really, 122 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,200 well, that's very interesting. You mean you still have some feeling left 123 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,919 for reverlyin Scott. Mister Camellion, my son was never in love with missus 124 00:10:46,919 --> 00:10:52,679 Scott or Laurel Madison. Perhaps your son knows differently, Missus Blaine. Anyway, 125 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,200 I should like to ask him where he was last night? Why? 126 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,799 Oh, yes, Stuart. We're in the drawing room, mister Camelion, 127 00:11:00,799 --> 00:11:03,639 and I sent for my oldest son. I'm very glad you did, mister 128 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,039 Blaine. I've met your son before. Hello, Comedion. What brings you 129 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,919 here? A murder investigation? My mother mentioned it when she phoned me. 130 00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:15,480 A girl named Laurel Madison was murdered last night, and your brother Larry here 131 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,000 was one of her numerous shooters. I was just about to ask him where 132 00:11:18,039 --> 00:11:22,240 he was last night. He was with Stuart, mister Camillion. They took 133 00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:26,799 a long drive out into the country. They had business to discuss. Isn't 134 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:33,559 that right, Larry? Isn't that right Stuart? Well, Larry, Yes, 135 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,639 I I was with Stuart last night. So you see, mister comedian, 136 00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:41,720 my brother Larry has an alibi. Yes, I see. You know 137 00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:45,879 there was a witness to the murder. What witness? What do you mean? 138 00:11:46,159 --> 00:11:50,279 Laurel Madison's parrot was the witness he saw the killer. In fact, 139 00:11:50,279 --> 00:11:54,879 one of the neighbors heard him squawking, Hello Evelyn, Hello Evelyn, Evelyn. 140 00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:58,039 Mm hmm, looks bad for your friend, miss Evelyn Scott. Larrym 141 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:03,559 that's up. So you can't be serious, mister Camlion, because a parrot 142 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,480 calls out a name that doesn't prove anything, of course, not comedian. 143 00:12:07,639 --> 00:12:11,919 Where is this parrot at the moment? Is missing Stuart, But absurd or 144 00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:15,600 not, he is the key figure in this case, the only witness to 145 00:12:15,639 --> 00:12:28,799 the murder, and I intend to find him. And now mister cameleon is 146 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,840 again questioning Smithers, the superintendent of the building where beautiful Laurel Madison was strangled 147 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,879 to death. Smithers, you are lying. You've been lying from the very 148 00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:41,639 beginning. You know what happened to Laurel Madison's parrot, now, mister Committean, 149 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,279 honest, I don't. He must have flew out the wind and where 150 00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:46,559 did he fly to? The neighborhood is being scarred for that bird. I 151 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,840 have a full description of him, white with green markings. Is mistress called 152 00:12:50,879 --> 00:12:54,320 him whitey? But not a trace, not a trace has been found that 153 00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:58,039 parrot I should think it'd be more interested and find in miss Madison's murderer. 154 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:03,279 I'm working on that. To where is the parrot's Smithers, You ain't got 155 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,200 no clothes, mister comedian. The other cop said you didn't. There wasn't 156 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,480 even a fingerprint with a don anywhere in Miss Madison's apartment. No, but 157 00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:15,039 the killer had a key to that apartment, just as you have a past 158 00:13:15,159 --> 00:13:20,039 key, Smithers, where is the parrots? But my passkey don't mean nothing. 159 00:13:20,279 --> 00:13:22,480 I tell you over and over, I'm no killer. Where is the 160 00:13:22,519 --> 00:13:33,840 parrot? Okay, okay, mister comedian, you win. I found him 161 00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:37,519 flapping around the court yard. I needed some extra cash, so I took 162 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:43,440 him in a I seld him to the Petrie pet Shop, the Petrie pet 163 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,440 Shop on Madison Avenue. Yes, Smithers, are not true with you. 164 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,039 I may need you later. Now you are not to leave the city under 165 00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:52,519 any circumstances. Meanwhile, I am going over to the pet shop to take 166 00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:56,320 that parrot into custody. There are too many who would like to get their 167 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:09,200 hands on him. Mister Chameleon does get the parrot. He now has him 168 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,879 at central headquarters, where he's talking to the Commissioner of Police and Detective Sergeant 169 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,200 Dave Arnold. The Commissioner is saying, so that parrot is the missing witness 170 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,240 to the Laurel Madison murderers. A chameleon, Yes, Commissioner, handsome old 171 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,440 devil, isn't he come on, Whitey say hello to the commissioner? A 172 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,799 forest fun? What don is done? Farnest fun? What is done? 173 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,559 What? Yes, that's the only thing we can get him to say. 174 00:14:37,039 --> 00:14:39,159 He won't mention the name Evelyn. Will you, Whitey? A forest fun? 175 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,559 What is done? Mister chameleon? I think we ought to bring in 176 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,519 Evelyn Scott confront her with the parrot. No, no, not Jed Dave. 177 00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:50,639 We're learning much more by having a shadowed. She's been meeting Laddy Blaine 178 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,879 secretly, Commissioner. Evidently there's still some sort of bond between them. Do 179 00:14:54,919 --> 00:14:58,399 you mean he's protecting her? Is she protecting him? Chamillion? It could 180 00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:01,039 be either one. In fact, Larry Blaine could be protecting his mother. 181 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,919 A woman could very easily have been the killer. And Missus Blaine is a 182 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,840 very formidable woman. Yes, she's been a leader of New York society for 183 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,799 years. But Muster chameleon her name has an Nevale. Yes, I know 184 00:15:13,039 --> 00:15:16,240 Dave. Even so, we're checking up on everyone, Commissioner, all the 185 00:15:16,279 --> 00:15:20,639 details of the Akrons. I don't mind telling you that I have seldom had 186 00:15:20,759 --> 00:15:24,919 less to work on than I have in this case, except our fine feathered 187 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:31,080 friend here, pile stpan pilest fan. I realized that no court of law 188 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,080 would accept the parrots gibbering his evidence. But I am still counting on Whitey 189 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,240 to break the case. I am taking very good care of him. I'm 190 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,200 going to leave him here at headquarters, Commissioner, and I am going to 191 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,840 put a substitute panet in Petrie's pet shop. What are you talking about, 192 00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:48,000 Chameleon, another white panet that looks almost exactly like him, with green marking 193 00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:52,919 like Whitey's painted on his breast. Then I shall make it known that Whitey 194 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,399 is at the pet shop, and then I myself shall go into the pet 195 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,279 shop in disguise, not as a clerk, however, to mister Petrie, 196 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,879 the owner. It opposes his father left in charge of the shop for an 197 00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:08,399 hour. Perhaps I just want to find out who is interested enough miss Padrot 198 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:14,879 Whitey to actually buy him and take him home and wring his neck the way 199 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:26,440 they strangle Laurel Medicine, mister Cameleon, and the case of death on the 200 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:32,840 talking parrot continues in just a moment. Next time you want relief from an 201 00:16:32,919 --> 00:16:36,600 ordinary headache, neurotic or neuuralgic pain, remember that one thing you can take 202 00:16:36,639 --> 00:16:41,080 with complete confidence is genuine Bayer aspirin. You can take it confident of amazingly 203 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,600 fast relief. For Bayer aspirin is actually ready to go to work in two 204 00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:48,799 seconds, and you can take it confident of really dependable relief. For no 205 00:16:48,919 --> 00:16:53,679 other pain reliever can match its record of use by millions of normal people without 206 00:16:53,720 --> 00:17:00,000 ill effect. Don't ever forget this unmatched record. It's important because it means 207 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,320 you can take Bayer aspirin sure in the knowledge that it will bring you the 208 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,119 gentle relief that's important to your health. So don't experiment with drugs that have 209 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,759 not been proved by years of successful use for the two most important kinds of 210 00:17:11,799 --> 00:17:17,039 relief, fast relief and dependable relief. Do as millions do, be sure 211 00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:21,640 with Bayer aspirin when you buy. Ask for it by its full name, 212 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,319 Bayer Aspirin, not just for aspirin alone. Get the one hundred tablet bottle 213 00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:37,240 and you get Bayer Aspirin tablets for less than a penny apiece. And now 214 00:17:37,279 --> 00:17:42,200 back to mister Camelion and the case of Death and the talking parrot. Mister 215 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:48,359 Camellion believes that Laurel Madison's parrot, Whitey, can identify the killer who strangle 216 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,960 the beautiful model to death in her apartment. And we find mister Camelion now 217 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,359 in Petrie's Pet Shop in his disguise as an irritable old man who is finding 218 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,519 the shop with its assorted noises quite a trial. But when he speaks to 219 00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:06,519 Detective Sergeant Dave Arnold, he speaks as comelean. Now, you certainly have 220 00:18:06,599 --> 00:18:08,599 to love animals, Dave, to run a place like this. Even if 221 00:18:08,599 --> 00:18:12,079 you love animals, and I certainly do, I prefer them in small quantities 222 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,720 and one of a kind, mister Cameleon. The only one that's silent is 223 00:18:15,759 --> 00:18:19,759 that substitute parrot, the one we put here in Whitey's cage. Yes, 224 00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:23,200 he's quiet enough, all right. I suppose he doesn't like being a stand 225 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,240 in. Has anyone tried to buy him? No, Dave, I let 226 00:18:27,279 --> 00:18:32,519 everyone know that we'd located Laurel Madison's Patrot and Petrie's shop. Yet no one's 227 00:18:32,519 --> 00:18:34,400 been in, No one. We suspect of a murder. It is. 228 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:45,599 Oh, I'll take that Petri's pet shop. Hello is this mister Petrie? 229 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,079 Well, this is our father, madam. Mister Petrie is out right now. 230 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,960 Oh well, I'm calling to inquire about a parrot, a white and 231 00:18:53,039 --> 00:18:57,200 green parrot. I understand you have one like that. Yes, yes, 232 00:18:57,319 --> 00:19:02,759 I know the one, A very remind remarkable bird, almost human, calls 233 00:19:02,799 --> 00:19:06,680 people by name. In fact, yes, you still have him, yes, 234 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,839 yes, madam, although we have a prospective buyer or really well, 235 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,599 please don't sell him for at least an hour. I've heard about your parrot 236 00:19:15,599 --> 00:19:18,519 and I'm sending someone down. I'm prepared to pay a very big price, 237 00:19:18,599 --> 00:19:22,480 mister Petra, all right, all right, we shall wait an hour, 238 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:29,240 Thank you, madam. Dave. That was Missus Blaine, Missus Blaine, 239 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,640 Larry Blaine's mother. Mm hmm. Things are beginning to break, Dave. 240 00:19:33,519 --> 00:19:37,279 Now you go down to central headquarters and get the real paddrot, Whitey immediately. 241 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,519 Then wait for me outside in a car with the engine running, and 242 00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:44,039 I shall stay here and receive either Missus Blaine or Larry, or whoever she 243 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:45,759 sends for the paddet. I'll never know you in this disguise. I'm not 244 00:19:45,799 --> 00:19:49,400 worried about my own disguise, Dave. What concerns me most is convincing them 245 00:19:49,480 --> 00:20:00,680 that this substitute parrot is the one there after, And an hour later, 246 00:20:00,759 --> 00:20:04,640 it is quite true that it is the parrot which Larry Blaine is after hardly 247 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,200 glancing at mister comedian, who stands beside him in his disguise. Larry is 248 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:14,839 staring at the motionless, white and green bird. This bird seems so lifeless 249 00:20:14,839 --> 00:20:17,960 and silent. Mister Petrie. You you are, mister Petrie, aren't you 250 00:20:18,079 --> 00:20:22,200 the owner of this pet shop? I'm mister Petrie's father. My son is 251 00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:26,000 home with an ear infection. I don't wonder. I actually think that he 252 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:32,000 loses hearing in this place. Why why he ever went into this business? 253 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,079 I don't ever know. The coloring is right, white with green marking. 254 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,400 No, it's the monkeys that drive me insane, and the parrots in this 255 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,960 one, particularly mister Blaine. But this parrot hasn't said a word. He's 256 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,880 exhausted. That's why someone must have taught him a silly little rhyme and that 257 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,920 stupid idiot if a bird has been saying it over and over, and what 258 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,839 rhyme does? He say? Fun is fun? What's done is done? 259 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,920 He says that over and over and over. I'll take him. Well, 260 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,599 now you may be sorry, young man. And I know, I know 261 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,599 I shouldn't say that my son had killed me, But that parrot will drive 262 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,160 you out of your mind. I should I take him. Here's your money, 263 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,279 Thank you, mister Blaine. I no, wait, now, i'd 264 00:21:15,279 --> 00:21:22,400 better put this cloth over the cage. Yeah, did you come in the 265 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,960 car, Yes, sir, A friend is waiting for me outside. Thank 266 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,799 you. Well, thank you, mister Blaine. I hope you enjoy that 267 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,640 parrot. Myself. I've never been able to like the creatures. There's something 268 00:21:33,759 --> 00:21:41,640 so weird about a bird that can talk. All right, mister Petree, 269 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,920 I'm leaving now. Thanks for letting me use your shop as a trap. 270 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:51,359 I think it worked, mister Communion. Okay, Dave, let's go. 271 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:57,160 Okay, follow that car ahead that Laddy Blaine just got in. Evelyn Scott 272 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,680 is driving in Scott. She's with Larry Blaine. Yes, Dave, I 273 00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:03,519 have a hunchtare going to the blaine mansion. Did he buy the parrot? 274 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,720 He shure, it's Laurel Madison's panrot, white A. This is the real 275 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,240 Whitey here in the cage. Ah huh, the one and only good white 276 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:17,759 They from now on, I am depending on you, my boy, And 277 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:33,640 don't you fail me? Who is it? If I'm mother? Laren? 278 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,559 Oh, come in, Evelyn, is with me? Missus Blaine, we 279 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,039 brought the parrot. It took you long enough. Now let's look at him. 280 00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:47,079 Curious mother, very silent. But he's Laurel Madison's parrot, Whitey, 281 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,680 all right. The old gentleman at the pet shop quoted the rhyme that Whitey 282 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:55,880 was always saying when when Laurel had him open the cage door. This is 283 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,559 Blaine opened the cage door and lift him out. This is Blaine. Do 284 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:00,960 you have to do it now, Evelyn? You know we have to kill 285 00:23:02,039 --> 00:23:03,440 him. You know we have to destroy the evidence. Yes, I know 286 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,079 what to ring his neck. I'll do it myself. Since your book so 287 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,480 cowardly servants roll out, there'll be no one to hear him. Come here, 288 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:18,720 you wretched burn still let that parrot alone. What mister com you're doing 289 00:23:18,759 --> 00:23:22,680 in my house I'm afraid your son left the front door open, Missus Blaine, 290 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,079 and I walked in with Detective Serge Nald and White A whit you mean 291 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,480 Laurel's parrot? But this is the parrot, the one in this cage. 292 00:23:29,599 --> 00:23:32,200 No, Missus Blaine, you were about to kill the wrong panet. The 293 00:23:32,279 --> 00:23:34,359 real White. Hey, the one and only witness to the murder of Laurel 294 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,599 Madison is right here with Detective Sergerenald. Dave. Take that cloth off the 295 00:23:38,599 --> 00:23:42,640 cage. Yes, mister cameleon, fin ast Fun watched his down. Finest 296 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:47,640 Fun watched is down? All right? White? Look around, Joan, 297 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,480 do you see anyone you know? You step up close to miss Evelin mister 298 00:23:52,480 --> 00:24:00,119 comedians close to please? That's right, White, Eh? Do you recognize 299 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:07,160 the lady an ast fan fest Fan seems that he doesn't recognize Well, he 300 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,039 doesn't really see her. He's just getting used to the light. Do you 301 00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:14,000 mean by that, Missus Blaine, that you wish that he would recognize her? 302 00:24:14,039 --> 00:24:17,519 Because, frankly, I what's that? Somebody just came in? Yes, 303 00:24:17,599 --> 00:24:19,279 Missus Blaine, I think it's your son Stewart. I phoned him at 304 00:24:19,279 --> 00:24:22,960 his office and told him to come here immediately, Stuart, come in please, 305 00:24:22,279 --> 00:24:25,440 Hello comedian, So I got here ahead of you, did Joe? 306 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:33,000 Hello, mother, Larry, Miss Scott. What's happened parrot? What's he 307 00:24:33,039 --> 00:24:37,000 doing here? Hello? Hello? Hello Evelyn Darling. I'll kill you. 308 00:24:37,079 --> 00:24:41,480 I'll kill you. Give me that paring its neck? Oh you want, 309 00:24:41,519 --> 00:24:44,160 Stuart Blane, put up your hands. Put your hands up to the comedian. 310 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,400 What are you doing, Missus Blaine, I'm about to arrest your son 311 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,519 Stewart, for the murder of Laurel Madison. That's ridiculous. No, it's 312 00:24:48,559 --> 00:24:53,599 not comedian. You must be mad just I simply lost my temper because Laurel 313 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,200 Madison's patron recognized you. He called you by name, by name, He 314 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:02,519 called him Evelyn. Stuart's middle name is Evelyn, one of his middle names. 315 00:25:02,519 --> 00:25:04,799 I might say, everyone assumed that Evelyn was the name of a woman, 316 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,680 but as you know, in England particularly, it's a very common man's 317 00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:11,400 name. That doesn't. I look up your family tree. I discovered, 318 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,559 Missus Blaine, there were at least five men named Evelyn in your husband's family, 319 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,839 his father for one. That doesn't prove a thing, Comedian, It 320 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,000 proves a little something. Stuart and your attack on that parad a moment ago 321 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,880 before you had time to stop yourself. That proves something too, And mister 322 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:33,920 Smithers may prove the rest. Smithers who Smithers the superintendent of Laurel Madison's apartment 323 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,240 house? I understand for two years Miss Madison had a constant caller, and 324 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,039 I got his description from Smithers and from the neighbors. Stuart. I was 325 00:25:41,079 --> 00:25:48,359 startled. The description fitted you so perfectly. You a brilliant man, a 326 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,680 power and industry. I couldn't believe it at first, didn't want to believe 327 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:56,039 it. Then as time went on, I had to. I never knew 328 00:25:56,039 --> 00:25:59,480 that girl Smithers and the neighbors can identify you, Stuart. And besides, 329 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,559 day search him just on a chance chance of what this is an outrage? 330 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,119 What do you expect to find on me? A key, perhaps a key 331 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,359 to Laurel Madison's apartment. I went to all the lucksmiths in the neighborhoods joyed. 332 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:18,200 One of them had made a duplicate key for her apartment in gold Dave, 333 00:26:18,279 --> 00:26:21,519 keep on searching him, Kay, No, there's no need for you 334 00:26:21,559 --> 00:26:25,880 to go on searching me. The keys in my wallet I'll give it you 335 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,559 a comedian, sorry, store, keep your hands up. Tain't no chances 336 00:26:29,599 --> 00:26:33,519 get the wallet. Dad, Here it is, mister comedian, and here's 337 00:26:33,559 --> 00:26:37,440 the keyse Stuart, Why did you keep it? Why didn't you get rid 338 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:42,079 of it? I don't know, Mother, I don't know. Perhaps missus 339 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:47,799 Blaine, because he loved Laurel Madison, he kept that lover's secret. He's 340 00:26:47,799 --> 00:26:51,480 a man of great wealth and social position. He wouldn't acknowledge his love for 341 00:26:51,519 --> 00:26:53,960 a girl like Laurel Madison. Oh, he hated her for going after his 342 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,960 younger brother Laddy. Probably felt that she was wrecking Laddy's life. But he 343 00:26:59,079 --> 00:27:02,799 had loved her, and this key was the only thing he had left of 344 00:27:02,839 --> 00:27:06,000 it, so he hung on to it, perhaps knowing that it might be 345 00:27:06,039 --> 00:27:25,559 his death warrant, perhaps even hoping it might be his death warrant. Larain, 346 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,559 how is your mother? She's pretty well prostrated, mister commeleion. She 347 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,440 suspected from the first was my brother Stewart who murdered Laurel. I did everything 348 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,720 I could help to cover up for I knew that your alibi for the night 349 00:27:38,759 --> 00:27:44,599 of the murder was rarely his. And Evelyn Scott here. She was afraid 350 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,319 that Parrott might convict her. That's why she worked with him. I also 351 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,359 wanted to help Larry. Yes you still love itch Alla Dunham. Yes, 352 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:59,559 mister Camillie. Then trying to have been your mother and your brother, Well 353 00:27:59,559 --> 00:28:03,960 that traged it needn't be yours, So don't let it be lady. No, 354 00:28:03,039 --> 00:28:07,799 I won't. And as for Whitey, he's a reformed parrot. I 355 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,599 keep him in my office and I'm actually teaching him to say the motto above 356 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:18,000 my desk. The innocent must be protected, the guilty must be punished. 357 00:28:33,599 --> 00:28:48,440 And with these words, mister Chameleon concludes tonight's murder case. When you have 358 00:28:48,519 --> 00:28:52,519 a social or business engagement, don't let an ordinary headache upset it. Remember 359 00:28:52,559 --> 00:28:56,960 Byar aspirin will bring you relief and quickly. Millions know how fast bayar aspirin 360 00:28:57,039 --> 00:29:00,720 works. If you've never tried it. Test will show you how quickly a 361 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:06,559 bayer aspirin tablet is ready to go to work. This test reveals what happens 362 00:29:06,559 --> 00:29:10,400 in your stomach when you take bayer aspirin. All you do is drop the 363 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:15,440 tablet in a glass of water and time it's disintegrating speed when it starts to 364 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,000 disintegrate, it's ready to go to work. And as you will see, 365 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:26,119 Bayer aspirin starts disintegrating almost instantly. It brings amazingly fast relief because it's actually 366 00:29:26,119 --> 00:29:30,079 ready to go to work in two seconds. When you buy, ask for 367 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,039 genuine Bayer aspirin, not just for aspirin alone. Get the one hundred tablet 368 00:29:34,039 --> 00:29:37,279 bottle, and you get Bayer aspirin tablets for less than a penny apiece. 369 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:48,240 Listen next Wednesday Night at the same time for mister Cameleon, the man of 370 00:29:48,279 --> 00:29:53,480 many faces in the Rich Uncle murder Case. The part of mister Camelion is 371 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:59,680 played by Carl Swenson, with dialogue by Marie Bomer from the original story by 372 00:29:59,759 --> 00:30:04,759 Frank and Anne Hummered. Music directed by Victor Arden. This is Howard Claney's 373 00:30:04,759 --> 00:30:10,240 saying good night on behalf of our sponsors, wishing all our listeners of very 374 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:23,079 happy New Year. New Lion's toothpaste does what no other toothpaste can. Thousands 375 00:30:23,079 --> 00:30:29,240 of laboratory tests on scores of individual teeth reveal that New Lion's toothpaste actually gets 376 00:30:29,279 --> 00:30:30,920 teeth two and a half to five and a half times brighter than any of 377 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:36,640 the five leading brands, brighter by far, in fact, than any toothpaste 378 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:41,440 on the market. Remember it's not just another toothpaste, not just another old 379 00:30:41,519 --> 00:30:47,759 toothpaste with an added ingredient. Lion's Toothpaste is utterly new, radically different. 380 00:30:48,079 --> 00:31:03,240 It cleans without soap, polishes without chalk. Lion's Toothpaste. Listen for mister 381 00:31:03,319 --> 00:31:07,039 Chameleon in the Rich Uncle Murder Case next Wednesday night. At this time, 382 00:31:08,799 --> 00:31:33,240 there's a CBS where Jack Benny starts next Sunday, the Columbia Broadcasting System Welcome 383 00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:38,079 back credit where credits due. For once, we didn't have a story where 384 00:31:38,119 --> 00:31:44,119 there was an over the top virtuous person who turned out to be the killer, 385 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,359 and that was kind of recurring theme I was getting a little tired of. 386 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,640 I suspected that the killer was a man based on the name Evil, 387 00:31:53,079 --> 00:31:57,960 just because it'd be too obvious for Evil one as the killer to be a 388 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:05,240 woman. It's one of those names that people will generally assume is a woman, 389 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,279 but in many cases, you know, pretty rare today can actually be 390 00:32:09,359 --> 00:32:16,079 a man. Leslie is another one, and classic detective programs did take advantage 391 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,920 of it. I'm not certain that you could have had a more obvious ploy 392 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,839 than spreading word as to where the parrot was for sale. And I also 393 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:31,920 have mixed feelings on Chameleon's explanation for why the killer held on to the key. 394 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:37,680 On one end, there may be something to it psychologically, but the 395 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:43,359 way he romanticize the murder was just a bit silly. Well, now we 396 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,480 turn to listener comments and feedback, and we start with an email from Derek 397 00:32:46,519 --> 00:32:52,200 who writes, Adam, I need help. I hear good reviews about mister 398 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:59,839 Cameleon. If mister Chmeleon were to do investigating like Johnny Dawl or Sam, 399 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,200 I would have no problem. However, if we reverse it and Johnny and 400 00:33:04,279 --> 00:33:08,799 Sam were to put on makeup and wigs only to have the guilty party confess 401 00:33:09,599 --> 00:33:15,160 to a complete stranger the crime they have committed, they would lose all credibility. 402 00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:20,279 I try to take mister Cameleon at face value that they don't mean to 403 00:33:20,319 --> 00:33:24,400 take it seriously, but he is the underworld's most dreaded man. And then 404 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:30,359 there is Dave Arnold, possibly his best friend, who knows mister Cameleon will 405 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:36,119 disguise himself rarely even knows that it is in fact mister Cameleon. I would 406 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:42,440 note Derek that Dave Arnold is not part of the audience. I sincerely want 407 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,599 to enjoy the series, but I need help appreciating it well. Thanks so 408 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:52,480 much for the comment, Derek. It's a tough one because people appreciate and 409 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:58,400 enjoy the things that they appreciate and enjoy, and as hard and maybe even 410 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:06,480 counterproductive to to argue why someone should enjoy something, although a lot of people 411 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,599 do. We had a comment last week from Catherine saying the series was fun, 412 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,920 and another listener on YouTube, Kim is just going through all the mister 413 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:22,199 Kamleian episodes and apparently it has gone through the entire playlist and is like, 414 00:34:22,519 --> 00:34:27,400 is there any more? Now? Kim's got to wait until Thursday for more 415 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,760 to be added. So people definitely do enjoy it. I think for me, 416 00:34:31,039 --> 00:34:35,920 a lot of it does come down to the performance. The series would 417 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:42,440 be a lot harder to enjoy if you didn't have Carl Swinson in the lead 418 00:34:42,559 --> 00:34:46,840 role. In a way, it's like Kyle Ovance. I think that if 419 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:52,880 you took just two random actors instead of Jackson Beck and George Petrie, that 420 00:34:52,960 --> 00:35:00,599 series would be absolutely intolerable. But they really do add something and bring something 421 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:07,519 to a production, and the sort of commitment and performance they give ultimately sells 422 00:35:07,599 --> 00:35:13,639 the show. There also is a level of production quality. You know, 423 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:20,400 you can hear a production where nobody knows what they're doing and they do stuff 424 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,840 that doesn't make sense because they don't know what they're doing, and to me, 425 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:31,320 that's not particularly entertaining. The nice thing about Mister Chameleon is that you've 426 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:37,119 got a lead, and you've got actors and a production team that know full 427 00:35:37,199 --> 00:35:43,559 well what they're doing. So even though the choices are often odd, they 428 00:35:43,639 --> 00:35:49,559 are interesting in terms of both the performance and the plot and story. It's 429 00:35:49,679 --> 00:35:52,679 like, really, you went with that. That makes it interesting to listen 430 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:58,920 to. And I do think that it is kind of a light program, 431 00:35:59,159 --> 00:36:04,719 Like you're not going to walk away from Mister Chameleon in Tears. You're not 432 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:09,280 gonna hear a set of violence where you kind of twine. You're just gonna 433 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:15,480 get a little bit of mystery with a detective program, storing an actor who 434 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:21,199 knew his stuff and put his best into material that might be a bit silly 435 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:25,079 at times, but still he's fun to listen to. Now, if you've 436 00:36:25,079 --> 00:36:30,360 got additional insights on why you like mister Comeleon, and I would love to 437 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:36,639 hear from it. I'm not particularly asking for insights on why people don't like 438 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:43,119 mister Chameleon, but I'll inevitably get those two. Regarding the episode Murder and 439 00:36:43,199 --> 00:36:50,280 the Sleeping Men, Anthony writs, is that Joe kern Well, Anthony, 440 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:57,320 I'm not certain which role you're referring to, but Joseph Kerns was a Hollywood 441 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:04,280 based radio actor and mister Commedie was in New York City originated programs, so 442 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,079 he would not have been on that series. Thank you so much for the 443 00:37:07,159 --> 00:37:12,480 question, Anthony. And now it's time to thank our Patreon supporter of the 444 00:37:12,559 --> 00:37:19,440 day.

Oh morning Burton, So you're still alive. Huh 454 00:38:06,159 --> 00:38:08,800 that was anti humor. It was entirely out of place. Well it's early 455 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:13,239 yet, I'm the comedian and I'll make the jokes. Your job is to 456 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,840 protect my life. Don't tell me you've been shot at again this time of 457 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:20,000 morning. Boy, whoever it is, really must hate you, Burton, 458 00:38:20,119 --> 00:38:22,800 Dolla, so help me, so help you nothing. You may be good, 459 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,920 old lovable Charlie to forty million television viewers, but to me, you're 460 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:29,519 just a pain in the neck. I'll my clients are worth a half million 461 00:38:29,519 --> 00:38:31,559 bucks because he was fool enough to write an insurance policy on your life, 462 00:38:31,559 --> 00:38:35,719 but not to me. My press on you is a fast three cents, 463 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,639 give it, take a couple. My life has been threatened, sure, 464 00:38:37,679 --> 00:38:40,480 and that's why I'm here. But yesterday, when I tried to get you 465 00:38:40,559 --> 00:38:45,079 to cooperate, you called it a practical joke. I'm that now, No, 466 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,400 because somebody tossed a bullet at you last night and scared the living pants 467 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:52,639 off of you.
