Speaker 4: Can't you mean you haven't any openings, not for greenhorns.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry if I'm blunt, But.
Speaker 4: Mister White, even if I am a green horn, suppose I.
Speaker 3: Brought you a good story, and where would you get it?
I'm afraid you'll have to excuse me, mister Kent.
Speaker 8: I am really good story, such as such as the
complete inside, the man called the Wolf, and the Western Railroads.
Speaker 4: What's that?
Speaker 6: You heard me?

Speaker 3: Oh, stop beating around the bush. I only heard the
beginning of that myself yesterday morning. Not a paper in
the country's carried a line, and yet yet.
Speaker 4: I come in here and talk about it. I think
I could do something with it, mister White.
Speaker 6: All the care can.
Speaker 3: Mysterious secret messages have threatened to tie up every railroad
in the country, beginning with the Western. For a while,
the road paid no attention, and then the cracked fire
on the p and r went off a bridge. Yes,
I read about that, and naturally, but you didn't read
about the warnings because they weren't printed.
Speaker 4: Weren't printed.
Speaker 3: No, they won't be, not until we've checked all the angles.
And then this man, the wolf. Yes, yes, the wolf.
Speaker 6: Now where do you come in? How did you get
to know the wolf? Excuse me? Say your own White.

Speaker 1: Goodbye?
Speaker 6: Hey, come back here, come back here?
Speaker 2: Wait?
Speaker 3: Wait, where did that call come from?
Speaker 8: Not say your pardon, sir, But if that call did
come from the wolf, I should be inclined to believe it.
Speaker 6: Huh, how do you know who that was?
Speaker 4: If I were you, i'd won the officials in charge
of the Silver Clipper.
Speaker 6: Look here, you wouldn't hear that phone. What is this?
Speaker 4: How do you know who called me?
Speaker 10: As I was saying, mister White, suppose I brought you
a good story, the story of the Silver Clipper and
the Wolf.

on you. Thank you, mister White. It's two thousand miles.
