Speaker 1: Company were standing under a blue life in the center
Speaker 1: of a newly completed bore. He seemed lost in a

Speaker 1: vault you manufactured to the Ellwood Favorite apartments.
Speaker 8: Still, Oh yes, yes, yes, the serve bottle. Yes, because
Speaker 8: what precisely do you wish to know about that?

Speaker 1: with impossible occurrence? Have you read the morning papers people?
Speaker 8: What about them?
Speaker 1: That particular vault was opened last night and all the
Speaker 1: furs taken?

Speaker 1: have picked it so fast, only that the second pair
Speaker 1: bensloballistics in one day, and they match like your two

Speaker 1: and the Prince didn't check with anything intil so they
Speaker 1: sent them to the FDI in Washington. I got to
Speaker 1: my hotel at four am to get some sleep, and
