You can't see me, can you? 27 00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 3: No, I'd be even happier if I couldn't hear you. 28 00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:41,879 Speaker 4: But I can see you. However, you're silhouetted against the 29 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:42,800 window behind you. 30 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 3: That was cunning of me. 31 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 4: It helps me aim the gun I'm pointing at you. 32 00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:50,439 Speaker 3: I'm so glad.

Get up with the lights on? 34 00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:54,759 Speaker 4: You don't do anything of the cut. 35 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,039 Speaker 3: Now, why are you shy? 36 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, let's I'm shy. 37 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 3: That's why you insist on holding this conversation with me 38 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,680 in the dark. The conversation, obviously there wouldn't be about 39 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,840 the weather. What would it be about? Well, I'm a writer, 40 00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:13,560 a writer, and shy. 41 00:03:14,439 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 4: I need some advice. 42 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 3: The only advice I can give all writers is don't 43 00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:20,719 I'm writing a book about murder. 44 00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 4: I'm calling it the story of. 45 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,439 Speaker 3: A perfect crime sounds interesting. Thank you. 46 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 4: What I came here for was to have you tell 47 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,479 me whether or not the murder my book deals with 48 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,719 is really a perfect crime. 49 00:03:33,879 --> 00:03:34,199 Speaker 3: Go on. 50 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,439 Speaker 4: The man to be murdered in my book that is 51 00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:42,080 suffers from heart disease. He's a completely unpleasant character, a 52 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,319 financier and a crooked one, A man who deserves to die. 53 00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:47,159 Speaker 3: And he suffers from heart disease. 54 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,479 Speaker 4: For this condition, he takes daily, at stated hours, capsules 55 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,159 containing medicine, capsules upon which his life depends. Now, then 56 00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:00,439 the murderer in my book that is this grids to 57 00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:01,560 poison the financier. 58 00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 3: Well, that's not creaking, No, it's murder. 59 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 4: Murder. That will be poisoning without poison. 60 00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:10,479 Speaker 3: I'm waiting breathlessly for the next chapter. 61 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 4: The murderer steals one of the capsules, pours the medicine out, 62 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,199 and replaces the medicine with powdered sugar. He returns the 63 00:04:18,199 --> 00:04:21,800 capsule to the financier's pillbox. In due course, the financier 64 00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:26,040 reaches the capsule, takes it. His weak heart, lacking the 65 00:04:26,079 --> 00:04:31,920 medicine he needs, fails, and there you have poisoning without poison. 66 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 3: M very ingenious? H I think so. 67 00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 4: The poisoner can't be traced through the poison he purchased, 68 00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:42,560 because he didn't purchase any. The murdered man is assumed 69 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,639 to have died a natural death. An autopsy will show 70 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,879 no poison in his body, since there wasn't any. Well, 71 00:04:52,079 --> 00:04:53,399 is it the perfect crime? 72 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,399 Speaker 3: I can't see any flaus any. 73 00:04:56,199 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 4: And if you can't, I don't imagine. 74 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,319 Speaker 3: The critics will? Do you mean the tal. 75 00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 4: Why should the police be interested in the book? 76 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 3: I'm ready? Why should the critics be interested in the 77 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,160 murder you're committing. You're not serious? You are? I? 78 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 4: I rather think I must leave now, beginning light soon. No, no, 79 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,759 don't move. I still have the gun pointing at you. 80 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,240 If I had to shoot you, it wouldn't be a 81 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:26,519 perfect crime, but you'd be dead, nonetheless, But that wouldn't. 82 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 3: Interest you, would it. 83 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 5: Well? 84 00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:52,199 Speaker 4: Good night, mister Templar, and pleasant dreams than lord, coffee 85 00:05:53,079 --> 00:05:54,439 Templar and the morning paper. 86 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 3: Thank you? 87 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,319 Speaker 2: I pully this morning, an't you? 88 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,639 Speaker 3: I couldn't sleep? Hey? Any resemblance between his toast and 89 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,000 toast is purely coincidental. What does your chef do? 90 00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:09,319 Speaker 4: Tan this tiff or enormous the template. 91 00:06:09,519 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 3: He probably uses old shoe.

He was crooked and 97 00:06:31,519 --> 00:06:32,199 he had a weak car. 98 00:06:32,879 --> 00:06:34,399 Speaker 6: No wonder he died when he got arrested. 99 00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 3: It depends on whether he took medicine in capsule.

Murder. 248 00:13:40,799 --> 00:13:43,519 Speaker 4: Oh, the last murder that was of any interest to 249 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,799 me was that elsinor thing. You know, when Claudius and 250 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,759 Gertrude put their heads together and slipped Gertrude's royal husband 251 00:13:51,159 --> 00:13:52,559 a slug of poison in the ear. 252 00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:53,639 Speaker 3: I remember it well. 253 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,639 Speaker 4: And the fat Prince Hamlet, I think his name was 254 00:13:58,039 --> 00:14:00,360 mooned about like an innie, ending or feeling to a 255 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,000 watery grave, and the rest of the cast to a 256 00:14:03,159 --> 00:14:04,919 most bloody one. 257 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,639 Speaker 3: You would have made a good hemn bless you. 258 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 4: Oh, I wanted to play Hamlet instead. They preferred me 259 00:14:13,879 --> 00:14:15,799 as a ventriloquist confound him. 260 00:14:15,919 --> 00:14:19,279 Speaker 3: That's why I'm here. You've been a ventriloquis. I'm involved 261 00:14:19,279 --> 00:14:22,919 in a case which hangs on the identity of a voice. Desmond. 262 00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:24,919 Speaker 8: Could anyone change. 263 00:14:24,559 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 3: His voice so that it would be completely different from 264 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:28,399 his real voice? Oh? 265 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 4: Yes, but you'd always know that the second voice wasn't natural. 266 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 3: Does what Simon? Look Desmond? Three people wanted a man 267 00:14:36,039 --> 00:14:38,279 named Clark dead. Clark is dead. 268 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,399 Speaker 4: Presumably therefore one of the three killed Clark. 269 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,399 Speaker 3: Yes, now, I was told of the method whereby Clark 270 00:14:44,519 --> 00:14:47,279 was going to be killed by a very distinctive voice 271 00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:50,679 in the dark. Therefore, the problem was simple, find which 272 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,919 of my three suspects had a voice like that and 273 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,360 go on from there. Well, not one of the three 274 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,000 has that kind of voice, which leaves me with an 275 00:14:59,039 --> 00:15:03,000 interesting problem, leaves the murderer free to go on murdering. 276 00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:20,039 How was the copse mister Pegli's dead, Louis, I want 277 00:15:20,039 --> 00:15:21,080 the nearest bookstore. 278 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: You can't have it. 279 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,759 Speaker 3: It belongs to a guy named Pescil Fleet.

You don't 366 00:20:03,759 --> 00:20:05,400 measure miles when chasing fathoms. 367 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,759 Speaker 8: Of course, I can't be absolutely sure it's the man 368 00:20:20,799 --> 00:20:21,319 you want me. 369 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 3: I'm grabbing at straws. 370 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,839 Speaker 7: But his voice did sound like your description. It was 371 00:20:25,839 --> 00:20:27,440 at a club to which clock belonged. 372 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 3: To make it worth a try, all I needed to 373 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,759 hear him say something anything, a word or phrase, and 374 00:20:32,839 --> 00:20:33,160 I'll know. 375 00:20:33,279 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 8: Oh, that shouldn't be difficult once we get to him. 376 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 3: Once we get to him, anything worries me is yes, 377 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,839 that his voice can still be heard by the time 378 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:58,559 we get to him. Halfway to the North pole. You 379 00:20:58,599 --> 00:21:00,119 didn't take me literally, did you? 380 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 7: You shouldn't be much farther temperate here. I don't understand 381 00:21:05,079 --> 00:21:08,119 about Charlie. I can't see a murdering clock. 382 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,599 Speaker 3: Somehow you don't believe he did it? Do you not? 383 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:11,839 A person thing? Oh? 384 00:21:11,839 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 8: Why not? 385 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 3: I don't know intuition.

I wonder do you 393 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,720 think you'll recognize your Oh? 394 00:21:36,759 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 3: Probably? I couldn't see him, but he saw me. 395 00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:42,839 Speaker 8: That might be bad. Are you armed in case you're trigny? 396 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 3: No, but we'll manage. 397 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 8: Suppose he refuses to to say anything. 398 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 3: At all that itself would answer our question, wouldn't. 399 00:21:50,799 --> 00:21:52,079 Speaker 8: We ring? 400 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,039 Speaker 3: Certainly nothing if not curtious. 401 00:21:55,599 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 7: It's so dark out here, so far from any. 402 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, dark and lonely. 403 00:22:01,799 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 8: You put it beautiful, He doesn't answer. 404 00:22:05,839 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 3: Try the door very well?

Did you? 414 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,079 That voice you heard in your club was a fiction. 415 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,640 It had to be a trip here was planned by 416 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,359 you so that it would be alone. 417 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 8: Oh why why would I want that? 418 00:22:49,279 --> 00:22:52,079 Speaker 3: The better to kill me my friend, kill you you, Shay, 419 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,000 That's what I say. 420 00:22:53,559 --> 00:22:55,839 Speaker 7: Wow, why would I want to kill you? 421 00:22:56,039 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 3: Because like yourself?

But 428 00:23:09,079 --> 00:23:12,599 the police didn't suspect Clark of being murdered. Perhaps not, 429 00:23:12,759 --> 00:23:16,319 but you did, yes, But Charlie didn't know that, mister Hartel. 430 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:21,759 I didn't tell him, Hey, very well, just stay right 431 00:23:21,839 --> 00:23:23,920 where you are. What a handsome revolver. 432 00:23:24,279 --> 00:23:26,839 Speaker 7: I did kill Charlie so that there wouldn't be any 433 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,240 investigation into Clark's death. 434 00:23:28,279 --> 00:23:29,799 Speaker 8: I couldn't afford that if. 435 00:23:29,799 --> 00:23:31,799 Speaker 3: You kill me there will be an investigation. 436 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 7: No, because no one knows you came here with me. 437 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,400 You're not going to die, You're going to disappear. 438 00:23:39,599 --> 00:23:42,319 Speaker 3: Oh, in my friend, I wouldn't like that too. Well. 439 00:23:42,599 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 8: I'm afraid Jode likes to no longer be considered. 440 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,079 Speaker 3: And in that case, I'll have a cigarette, you know which, 441 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:53,720 Parker hold On, I'm oh, you dropped your revilver. 442 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 8: Now I have to you. You said you weren't. 443 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,559 Speaker 3: I'm such a liar, But then, can you see I 444 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,160 knew when you asked me. Why you ask me? Sont? 445 00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:04,920 Perhaps I'll be forgiven the templar. 446 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 8: I killed Charlie, but I didn't Chill Clark. 447 00:24:08,519 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 3: I swear I did happen to mister Hartsel. I never 448 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,240 for a moment thought you did. 449 00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:30,599 Speaker 5: A beautiful night time cool and mister Hasttle all shut 450 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:31,519 up in a dungeon. 451 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,319 Speaker 3: Cell I'm afraid the beauties of the night are lost 452 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,599 to him. Those beauties are also lost to Charlie and 453 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:38,240 mister Clark. 454 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 6: I don't think more. 455 00:24:39,279 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 5: But they're better off dead. 456 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 3: But it would have been nicer to leave that decision 457 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:43,519 to them. 458 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 5: Mister hartsold bless his fussy old soul. Was really an 459 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,920 impulsive man, a foolish one. Let's not talk about him anymore. 460 00:24:52,839 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 3: Let's talk why because Hartsol didn't kill him. Oh, a 461 00:24:58,319 --> 00:24:59,920 man came to me in the middle of the night, 462 00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:02,599 in the darkness so that I never saw him, and 463 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,559 told me of a plan to murder mister Clark. Was 464 00:25:05,559 --> 00:25:10,519 a good plan, absolutely undetectable man left. All through this case, 465 00:25:10,599 --> 00:25:12,640 I've been looking for a man with a voice like 466 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,440 the one that told me of murder, and there were 467 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,039 three people involved. Yourself would get the money. If Clark died, 468 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,240 Charlie would be saved from jail, Hartzell would be free 469 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:24,000 of impettlements. 470 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 5: Uncle certainly spread a lot of joy when he died. 471 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,079 Speaker 3: Charlie was murdered by Hartzell. But Charlie's was not the 472 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,759 voice that spoke to me, nor was Hertzel's. 473 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 5: Then whose voice could it possibly have been? 474 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,279 Speaker 3: That's the central problem, all right? Why did the man 475 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:40,599 come to me in the first place? 476 00:25:41,039 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 5: According to you, to make sure his method of murder would. 477 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 3: Never be detected. But in coming to me, my dear, 478 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,359 didn't he make sure the very opposite. 479 00:25:47,759 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 5: Oh, well, then he must have wanted. 480 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 3: You to master that's right. He wanted me to detect murder. 481 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,519 But why obviously not because he was going to murder anyway. 482 00:25:58,680 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 5: I don't understand. 483 00:25:59,559 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 3: The only voice in this case that I haven't heard 484 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,720 it the voice of your uncle, my uncle, he was 485 00:26:05,759 --> 00:26:09,079 my visitor. But why why did he do it? Because 486 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,759 nobody was going to murder him? 487 00:26:10,839 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 5: What could he hope to accomplish. 488 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 3: What he did accomplish? And as your uncle was an 489 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,920 old man with heart disease on the verge of being 490 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,480 arrested for theft swindling, he knew he wouldn't survive even 491 00:26:20,519 --> 00:26:23,119 the shortest prison term. He probably suspected that the strain 492 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,359 of the arrest itself might be fatal, and it was. 493 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,400 But before he died, he wanted revenge on the lawyer 494 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,079 who cheated him and on the secretary who decided him. 495 00:26:32,599 --> 00:26:35,519 So he came to me with his story, figuring that 496 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,559 when he died perfectly naturally, murder would be suspected where 497 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,599 no murder had taken place him when. 498 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:46,319 Speaker 5: I work didn't because Hartzell killed Charley, Hartzell himself is 499 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:46,680 going to. 500 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 3: Die for Yes, your uncle must have been quite a nymon. 501 00:26:51,839 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 8: Yes, there's a moon. 502 00:26:54,839 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 5: We've talked of unhappy things long enough, got any chin 503 00:27:00,039 --> 00:27:03,640 mm hmm, I word a minute. I thought you didn't 504 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,160 have any of the. 505 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 3: Last time I asked you, time you asked me, my dear, 506 00:27:06,759 --> 00:27:12,960 you were a suspect for murder. Now now now you're beautiful, 507 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,400 You're blonde, and it's just plain murder. 508 00:27:17,839 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 2: Oh you've been listening to another transcribed adventure of a saint, 509 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,119 the robin Hood of modern crime, And oh, here is 510 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,680 our star vincent price. 511 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen. Poison doesn't always come in bottles, and 512 00:27:43,319 --> 00:27:46,240 it isn't always marked with the skull and crossbones of danger. 513 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,640 Poison can take the form of words and phrases and 514 00:27:49,759 --> 00:27:53,559 acts the venom of racial and religious hatred. Here in 515 00:27:53,599 --> 00:27:56,640 the United States, perhaps more than ever before, we must 516 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,000 learn to recognize the poison of prejudice, and it discovered 517 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,119 the antidote to its dangerous effects. Evidences of racial and 518 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,640 religious hatred in our country place a potent weapon in 519 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,960 the hands of our enemies, providing them with the ammunition 520 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,599 of criticism. Moreover, group hatred menaces the entire fabric of 521 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,640 democratic life. As for the antidote, you can fight prejudice 522 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,880 first by recognizing it for what it is, and second 523 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,960 by actively accepting or rejecting people on their individual worth, 524 00:28:27,559 --> 00:28:32,240 and by speaking up against prejudice and for understanding. Remember, 525 00:28:32,319 --> 00:28:35,960 freedom and prejudice can't exist side by side. If you 526 00:28:36,079 --> 00:28:40,519 choose freedom, fight prejudice.

That's night Beat, 543 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,119 Tomorrow Night. Next, Sam Spade cuts the caper. Then Zeno 544 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,880 Franciscatti plays on NBC. 545 00:29:56,079 --> 00:29:56,279 Speaker 5: Well. 546 00:29:56,279 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: An interesting case, and in some ways it colds to 547 00:29:59,759 --> 00:30:04,559 my a Sam Spade episode, The Dry Martini Keeper, although 548 00:30:04,599 --> 00:30:09,480 it's more case of similarity. It's not a direct script reuse. 549 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,119 But The Dry Martini Keeper, which we played a few 550 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:20,079 years ago, featured a businessman coming to Sam Spade for help, 551 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:25,720 and in order to get revenge on the horrible people 552 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,839 in his life, he spends some of his last money 553 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:35,839 to have someone kill him. Sam finds us out eventually, 554 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:41,039 but not before making plenty of trouble for everyone involved, 555 00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:48,400 including Sam billing the last two hundred dollars of the 556 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,720 then grief stricken widow. Of course, here we've got a 557 00:30:52,839 --> 00:30:56,920 sort of nature taking its core sort of death and 558 00:30:57,119 --> 00:31:03,960 setting up a suggestion that would to our financiers' enemies 559 00:31:04,039 --> 00:31:08,039 bringing about their own punishment. Now, there was an interesting 560 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,119 scene in here when Louis picked up Simon in his 561 00:31:12,279 --> 00:31:17,440 cap where the writers just decided to lampshade the absurdity 562 00:31:17,519 --> 00:31:22,680 of this. Louie is a regular recurring character, which I 563 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:28,960 think makes more sense in terms of drama and a 564 00:31:29,039 --> 00:31:32,960 sense of continuity than having a bunch of random Cabby characters. 565 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:39,200 But in terms of realism, the odds are astronomically against 566 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,920 one person running into the same Cabby over and over 567 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,720 and over again, and they just decide to handle that 568 00:31:47,839 --> 00:31:49,759 with a little bit of a wink to the audience. 569 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:56,480 One thing I didn't like was the conversation with the ventroloquest. 570 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,319 The question was simple, and it's surprising Simon didn't know it. 571 00:32:01,799 --> 00:32:06,000 And if Simon didn't know for some reason, then to 572 00:32:06,279 --> 00:32:09,920 paraphrase a modern saying but put it in nineteen fifties 573 00:32:10,079 --> 00:32:14,440 language that could have been a phone call. It felt 574 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,119 like padding to make sure there was enough runtime to 575 00:32:18,279 --> 00:32:23,880 the story. You just imagine the writer's thoughts, Okay, well 576 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,640 this is not long enough. What can I do to 577 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,079 fill out the time? I know I'm gonna work in 578 00:32:31,119 --> 00:32:36,039 my most insane Shakespeare fan theory. Well, now we turn 579 00:32:36,119 --> 00:32:41,160 to listener comments and feedback. Jeff writes regarding the problem 580 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,279 of the peculiar payoff. Sometimes what is supposed to be 581 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,640 witty dialogue becomes too cartoonish, at least for me. And 582 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,599 that's from Patreon. Well, thanks so much, Jeff, and I 583 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,680 understand the point of view. I'm not certain I agree. 584 00:32:55,839 --> 00:33:00,400 It's not like Elmer Fudd appeared in that episode. 585 00:33:00,599 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 3: Uh. 586 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: Anyway, now it's time to thank our Patreon supporter of 587 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:10,799 the day.
