missing between last week's show in this week's But let's
go ahead and we will take a lesson.
Speaker 3: Get this and Get it straight time is a sucker's road.
Those who travel it wind up in the gut of
the prison of the grave. There's no other in But
they never learned.
Speaker 4: From the pen of Ram Chandler, outstanding author of crime fiction,
comes his most famous character in the Adventures of Philip Marlowe.
Now with Gerald Moore starred as Philip Marlowe. We bring
you tonight's transcribe story. The young man's fancy.
Speaker 3: With another scorcher would smart. Yet the angels that flapped
their wings over the sleepy little pueblo of Los Angeles
were taking a summer hiatus. I thought about the Blue Pacific,
some fifteen miles to the west, where the friendly waves
will snap your back if you happen to hit the
undertow just right. So I decided on some three part
harmony instead.
Speaker 5: What one vodka?
Speaker 3: I had that, but no pots two and three and
ginger beer. So before you could say Moscow Mule, I
was heading for the shopping district that's about a five
minute walk from the apartment.
Speaker 5: I made it quicker. I drove.
Speaker 3: Alex's fruitstall gets all my lime business, partly because the
limes are good, but mostly because of Alex.
Speaker 5: All that's kind and gentle.
Speaker 3: Is housed in the square frame of Alex Lesnovich, his
tanned old faces, creased around the mouth and eyes and smiling,
deep set dark eyes that look out at you from
under bushy gray brows, and the laugh. Yeah, that's Alex
all the time, except this particular morning.
Speaker 5: Who mister Marlow?
Speaker 4: Well, Hello, hot day?
Speaker 5: Is hot day? Is he got you? Alex? Oh?

Speaker 4: I'm a age's babe.
Speaker 5: The only big fellow is small year.
Speaker 4: Don't give me that stuff.
Speaker 5: I'm sick of it.
Speaker 4: Just came back to get some things and some money,
so you might as well get the cash draw.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, that's enough.
Speaker 9: You do not come here just when suits you and
tell your father what he needed to and what he
will not do.
Speaker 5: Look at him. I'm tired of fighting with you. Come
out of the back of the store.
Speaker 11: We don't have to drag anyone.
Speaker 8: Else into this.
Speaker 5: I was pretty much of a third wheel. I didn't
get it. I didn't want it to Alex and Sun
dominic box.
Speaker 3: The next few rounds, almost out of earshot, I heard
old Alex mutter something finally, go to the cash righters
do and get down the money. Shortly after that, damn
shot passed me and down the street. I stood there
like a fool, squeezing a half a dozen lines.
Speaker 9: You you find what you want?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Alex, he's a week. Thank you, Thank you,
m Alex. Yeah. Well, if you need any help, you
know where to find me. Huh, thank you very much.
Speaker 6: If Alex has troubles, Alex works him up.
Speaker 5: Sure, sure you will.
Speaker 8: I'll see.
Speaker 10: Well that was quite a conversation I had, mister Marlow.
Speaker 12: How are you?
Speaker 5: Yeah fine, how are you miss Gabrielle boiling over?
Speaker 10: That's how I am.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, it's hot.
Speaker 10: That's not what I mean. My blood's garland when I
got left, that is, doctor says, I'm a namick.
Speaker 5: You know, No, I didn't know. I just want to
get some.
Speaker 12: Ginger beer an the time I'm doing for check up.
I thought I never was going to find any red
corporal white corporals unloaded with He.
Speaker 3: Says, but red one corpuscles, corpusles, that's the word, not corporals.
Speaker 10: Oh well, I don't see it makes much difference. I
don't have any red ones, no matter what you call them.
Our highest spell them.
Speaker 3: Yeah well, I thought maybe about six bottles of ginger beer,
if you have.
Speaker 5: It cold please.
Speaker 10: I saw you next door to Alexis.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I got limes and and if I could
just have the ginger beer.

Speaker 5: Know, really, well, something has I.
Speaker 10: Heard alex a plain his day. Dam hadn't been home
all night.
Speaker 12: And I'll tell you one thing, that's not the first
time this has happened, been going on all the livelong.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't know about that.
Speaker 12: I just another thing that's power standard, is you know
the one he used to run right there in the
front of Alexis all wears it gone.
Speaker 5: Six bottles of I don't tell you.
Speaker 10: Where the wreck and ruin and first of the summer
he's running. It's like, oh, but he's doing a nice
little trade too. They don't get so he's not coming home.
And the flowers are will from and dial not smelling
to refreshing either.
Speaker 12: Please go One morning I see old Alex Cart and
the whole kitten to boodle out the.
Speaker 10: Incinerator at by Ally. And that's the end of the flower,
isn't it.
Speaker 3: I know it was going to be hot when I
first woke up this morning, and I thought that about
six bottles that ginger beer would help a lot.
Speaker 10: Oh Wan Gingerbead, Well why didn't.
Speaker 12: You say so?
Speaker 5: I'm just shy. I'm shy. Oh I bet you're going
to make up a bat to those Moscow mules.
Speaker 10: Oh well that's ninety three. I'm giving you credit for
the bottles. I know you've got what you never take
the trouble to return.
Speaker 5: Thank you. I got to bring him back.
Speaker 12: Thanks.
Speaker 5: You know what I think, don't I have a pretty
good idea.
Speaker 12: I think Alex has had his share troubles, and now
dom acting for all were.
Speaker 10: Like one of them is delink.
Speaker 12: Once you read about Oh here's to me, the nrest
thing to a blessing that Alex can count as Helena Helena.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, I don't suppose you remember her, do you?
Mister Marlow Welsa as beautiful a girl as you'd ever
care to see. Lovely, and I mean lovely in every way.
You went to that secretarial school, you know, took a
nice job up in San Francisco. I don't understand. She's
just doing real well to write to Alex, just as
regular and it's just a lovely person.
Speaker 5: I remembered Helena. No red blooded man who had all his.
Speaker 3: Corporals would ever forget her, quiet, little thing, doc radiant
with Alex's deep set, black eyes, a kind of lad.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I remembered her voice too soft, just the right amount
of huskiness. It's been about three years, I guess since.
Speaker 5: I'd seen it. That would make us somewhere in the
early twenties now, and that would make her even lovely.
Speaker 3: By the time I got to my car, I'd half
forgotten about old Alex and Dom. I pulled out of
the parallel parking spot, and before I reached the corner,
I was in the proper lane, minding my own business.
Speaker 5: Nice work, idiots, Well I need more cracks. See did you.

Dom was driving?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I don't take a look at a heap here. You
think he can fix it up?
Speaker 11: Yeah, sure I can. It looks like he just scraped
along the side. The tender's curling in there.
Speaker 5: But I think we can knock that out for you
in no time. Oh good, of course. If you want
that paint touch stuff, that's gonna take some time. Noah, No,
skip the paint from now. Huh. And Nick, you and
Dom are pretty good friends, aren't you. I used to
think so.
Speaker 11: I don't see much of Dom anymore. He's I don't know,
he's screwing or something.
Speaker 5: What do you mean, Wow, like that Tricky just pulled
running in here and driving on. He didn't used to
be like that. Yeah. What do you think happened to him?
Or do you know?
Speaker 11: Whatever it is, it's happened since we got to the
school last spring. All of a sudden, he doesn't come
around anymore. Nobody in gangs sees him. And when we do,
you know, we meet him on the street or something.
He just sort of looks down. He says, hi, and
he keeps on going.
Speaker 4: Okay, but don't buy can park there.

Speaker 3: Sure, Car called the truck driver, and Nick pointed out,
and he was seated two stools down at the bar.
I noticed him for the first time just before he
ordered the beer. It's a big guy sitting down. He
had a pressive looking face, the kind you could never
tell anything about it. He looked at me for a
moment and then opened the cup in the booth by
the jukebox. The expression on his face didn't change as
he calmly slid off the boss and went over to
the jukebox, reached around to the back and turned down
the party.
Speaker 5: Hi, what's that it's too long?
Speaker 10: I want my knikel night.
Speaker 5: It's John Nickel. Sit down? Well I will that hell,

Speaker 13: Oh, I just.
Speaker 7: Well, if there is an old snooper himself, Look, mister Marlow,
I don't need any assists from.

Speaker 5: The young Man's fancy with a wild dream.
Speaker 3: My head was a punching bag, and fighters with plate
glass fists were taking turns cracking my skull like furys
Gabrielle was pubbing me with free ice cubes. The band
played Come out of my house, and someone started mopping
my face with a cool damp pot that smelled of
beer and bourbon.

Speaker 3: I couldn't have walked better if I had the bens.
I managed to get into my car. At next service station.
You checked all ninety six Los Angeles area phone directories
for me, and Carl wasn't listed. Niked finally remembered Carl's
last name.
Speaker 5: It was Medora.
Speaker 3: I took one last look at the limes and ginger
beer not quite warm in the car seat beside me.
I did something sensorable and drove off. Was even hotter
down in the produce district, and then not on my
head hurt even more as I told Carl's boss, a
big fat lie.
Speaker 11: Well, sir, mister Marlow, I'm glad our Carl was to
help you out on the ridge route.

trouble just to.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Oh yeah, yeah I would.
Speaker 3: After all he's done for me. I'd really like to
look him up. All's apartment building needed paint and better ventilation.
Was near downtown LA, in an area that should have
been cleared for the freeway, but it hadn't been. There
was no answer at Apartment three. There wasn't even any
sound behind the door, but I had the feeling that
somebody was there.
Speaker 5: The corner drug store. I called the phone number Carl's boss.
Speaker 3: Ententled under his address. I let it ring a long time,
no answer. Now my head wasn't the only thing that
was giving me a rough time. When I got back
to Hollywood, my car developed a regular list to the
starboard side where domb it ram me. I limped in
the Nicks and he spotted the trouble right away.

mailing him from San Francisco.

small sanitarium in the Glendale Hills. He specialized in Helena's
kind of sickness.
Speaker 5: He made a deal, and a half hour later we
took her there. It's going to take some time, but
it was good.
Speaker 3: Building time, Don and I had our story pretty well rehearsed,
and we get back to Alex.
Speaker 4: But I don't understand why she told you this.
Speaker 9: Why did she not call anything?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 3: Look dumb told you she was pretty disappointed in herself,
but she had to go right back to San Francisco.
Speaker 5: She was afraid if she called you she'd cry and
get you all upset.
Speaker 4: Oh that's right, Dad, she thought it'd be easier.
Speaker 8: For you this way.
Speaker 9: Oh it's nice of Helene to think her papa. It's nice.
Speaker 5: She comes as soon as she can, Alex. I don't
think it'll be very many more weeks to you then.
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, she'll be back before we know it.
Speaker 5: Domine, she looks good.
Speaker 4: Well, you just wait till you see it.
Speaker 5: She'll look great.

Speaker 8: Oh what?
Speaker 5: Note?
Speaker 3: You can buy fresh cut flowers again in front of
alex Lesnovitch's fruit stall. They throw the smiles in for free.
Even Miss Gabrielle's changed the mind about Dominic being one
of those delinquents you'll read about. I learned something about
him the other day myself that kid can really paint
a card. Well, so much for that cost one Moscow Mule.

Speaker 2: Welcome back. Well this replacement season with episodes like this
one and the Good Neighbor Policy, definitely you seem to
be striving to go a bit of a different direction
with the episodes from the standard marlow Is Hired sort
of plot, though I did see the turn coming with
the daughter, though I didn't quite know what to expect.
I just knew there was probably something wrong with her.
But I should also mention the episode that we are
missing is Friday's Child, and this is our first missing
episode we've dealt with in close to ten or eleven months,
and this is actually the last of the episodes of
Philip Marlowe that's missing. All right, Well, that'll actually do
it for today. Join us back here tomorrow for Mystery Theater,
and a week from tomorrow be sure and listen for
Boston Blackie, and next Wednesday, join us back here for
another episode of Philip Marlowe. In the meantime, send your
