Speaker 1: Did you lose an election? Bet yesterday? Feel a bad
Speaker 1: cold coming on? I want to get away from it all.
Speaker 2: We offer you Escape.
Speaker 1: You are groping in the midnight dimness of a gigantic
Speaker 1: department store, and suddenly you realize that you're not alone,
Speaker 1: but a hundred eyes are glaring at you from the shadows,
Speaker 1: a hundred hands reaching for your throat, and your most
Speaker 1: urgent desire is to escape.
Speaker 3: Escape produced and directed by William N. Robson, and carefully
Speaker 3: plotted to free you from the four walls of today
Speaker 3: for a half hour of high adventure.
Speaker 1: H Tonight, we escaped to the dark labyrinth of a
Speaker 1: giant department store in the dead of night, and to
Speaker 1: a fantastic world of night dwellers, as John Carlier imagines
Speaker 1: it in his eerie story Evening Primrose.
Speaker 4: A Sita, what's the matter?
Speaker 5: It's me, Oh Sam, you nearly scared me to death.
Speaker 5: What do you mean coming in so quiet?
Speaker 4: I didn't mean to scare you. I thought you'd be asleep.
Speaker 4: I didn't want to work.
Speaker 6: Here, Sam.
Speaker 5: I'm glad you're home.
Speaker 7: I have what's the matter?
Speaker 5: What's terrible?
Speaker 6: You gotta do something, Sam?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 7: Well, what's terrible.
Speaker 2: It's this.
Speaker 6: Just look at this.
Speaker 4: What's terrible about that? Looks like an ordinary pad of
Speaker 4: paper to.
Speaker 7: Me, I just did. That's just what I thought.
Speaker 5: But it's got writing in it. It's awful.
Speaker 4: Oh wait a minute, maybe you better tell me what
Speaker 4: this is all about.
Speaker 5: Well, today I went shopping down at Bracy's department store.
Speaker 5: I needed some writing papers, so I picked this up
Speaker 5: and it was on top of the pile and bought
Speaker 5: it and brought it home. But tonight, when I opened it,
Speaker 5: I found it's got writing in it.
Speaker 4: Well, that's nothing, so terrible. Just take it back tomorrow
Speaker 4: and make him give.
Speaker 7: You a new one.
Speaker 5: No, you don't understand. It's what's written in it.
Speaker 7: It's so terrible.
Speaker 4: What do you mean, what's written in it?
Speaker 6: Here?
Speaker 7: You got to read it?
Speaker 5: No, no, right now, read it?
Speaker 4: Look sadie. I'm tired.
Speaker 2: I've been pleasing Sam.
Speaker 7: Please just read.
Speaker 4: It all right before Pete's sake. October thirteenth, Today I
Speaker 4: may my decision. I decided to say goodbye to the world,
Speaker 4: to get out, leave, break away, and I have done it.
Speaker 4: Oh city is no one read? And now I am free,
Speaker 4: really free?
Speaker 7: Yes, I am free at last. The world is an
Speaker 7: intolerable place for a poet. I was broke, starving at
Speaker 7: my wits end, and then I had a brilliant idea.
Speaker 7: I would escape to a place where I had no
Speaker 7: need to earn a living, where I could write to
Speaker 7: my heart's content and peace and security. Where is this
Speaker 7: place right under your nose, so close you'd never think
Speaker 7: of it. I am now living in Bracy's department store.
Speaker 7: I have everything within arm's reach that anyone would need
Speaker 7: or desire, and it's all free, absolutely free. I arrived
Speaker 7: this afternoon. I'd spent three days looking over all of
Speaker 7: the department stores in town. I decided on Bracey's because
Speaker 7: of the completeness of their food department. Therefore, this afternoon
Speaker 7: I entered the store and went immediately to the fourth floor,
Speaker 7: to the rug department, and hid myself in this dusty
Speaker 7: out of the way corner behind a pile of carpets.
Speaker 7: Once I'm settled, I'll furnish it with the best of
Speaker 7: modern pieces from the furniture department. It's small, but I'll
Speaker 7: be cozy enough and safe. After the store closed, I
Speaker 7: made my first venture out. I tiptoed as far as
Speaker 7: the stationary counter and got this paper the writer's primary need. Now,
Speaker 7: after making my initial entry, I'll go out and get food, wine,
Speaker 7: the pillows for my bed, perhaps a fancy dressing gown.
Speaker 7: This is perfect. I'll be able to write here dawn,
Speaker 7: October fourteenth. I'm almost too unnerved to write this. The
Speaker 7: whole thing is unbelievable. After the store was dark and
Speaker 7: completely quiet, I crept out and started for the food department.
Speaker 7: Once footsteps echo hollowly in an empty department store at night,
Speaker 7: and I found myself gliding along the floor on tiptoe,
Speaker 7: moving as silently as possible, but the sound of footsteps persisted.
Speaker 7: Suddenly I realized they were not my own. The night
Speaker 7: watchman I was in the salon Madain. Quickly, I seized
Speaker 7: a mink coat from a hangar, draped it about my shoulders,
Speaker 7: and stood stuck still. I could have reached out and
Speaker 7: touched him, but he passed by without so much as
Speaker 7: a glance. He started to smile, put the smile froze
Speaker 7: on my lips. There was someone else here. I was
Speaker 7: looking straight into a pair of eyes, large flat, luminous
Speaker 7: in human eyes, peering at me from among the missus
Speaker 7: tailored suits. A dozen feet away. They belonged to a
Speaker 7: creature dressed as a man, but he was as pale
Speaker 7: as a creature found under a stone. His hands, hanging
Speaker 7: motionless at his sides, looked more like the fins on
Speaker 7: a fish than human hands.
Speaker 8: And then he spoke, not bad for a beginner.
Speaker 7: I I'm sorry. I didn't know anybody else er lived here.
Speaker 8: Oh, yes, we live here. It's delightful, we yes, all
Speaker 8: of us, don't you see? Look around?
Speaker 7: I looked around. I saw nothing. I looked again. I
Speaker 7: saw an old man come clambering out from behind a clock.
Speaker 7: There were three elderly angeneus, incredibly emaciated, pale as lace,
Speaker 7: almost transparent, simpering before the perfume counter. A chimzy lady
Speaker 7: swam out from the curtains and drapes. They came swarming
Speaker 7: thick around me, pale, thin, wispy, moving silently, fluttering like
Speaker 7: gauze in the wind, whispering, how.
Speaker 8: Raw he looks? Who is he?
Speaker 6: As cause as the sun?
Speaker 8: What is he doing?
Speaker 4: A detective?
Speaker 8: Sing for the dark man?
Speaker 9: Yes, sin for the darkning the dark men.
Speaker 7: They were pressing around me, climb holding me, their pale
Speaker 7: faces controtted with venomous inhuman hatred. I was paralyzed. All
Speaker 7: I could do was repeat over and over again. I'm
Speaker 7: not a detective. I'm not a detective.
Speaker 2: I'm not burdler.
Speaker 8: Then a burglar.
Speaker 9: Time up.
Speaker 6: Hold him came to the pace.
Speaker 8: And for the dark men stop. Let him speak.
Speaker 7: I'm not a detective or a burglar. I'm a poet.
Speaker 8: Then what are you doing here?
Speaker 7: I've I've renounced the world. I came here to live
Speaker 7: where I could be alone, away from the world.
Speaker 10: Why then he's come over to us.
Speaker 6: He's just like us.
Speaker 10: He's come over to us.
Speaker 8: A poet.
Speaker 6: She must meet Missus vender Been.
Speaker 8: Yeez, Missus vender Ben, she's coming up.
Speaker 7: I followed their eyes talk about there. Coming down the
Speaker 7: wall like an ancient spider, clambered an old lady, wrinkled
Speaker 7: and cracked and emaciated. She must have been at least eighty,
Speaker 7: a shadowy matriarch, and the things around me bowed and
Speaker 7: scraped as she reached the floor and floated toward us.
Speaker 9: What's going on here? Where is that stupid girl? What's
Speaker 9: keeping her?
Speaker 8: Oh, Missus vander pent, Well, what is it?
Speaker 9: Who's this? Mister Roscoe?
Speaker 8: Missus Vanderpant, May I present.
Speaker 7: Mister Snell, Mister Snell, mister Charles Snell.
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, of course, mister Snell. He is a poet
Speaker 8: and he's come here to live.
Speaker 9: Oh hey, hell's hellsy, that's.
Speaker 8: What he says, and I believe him.
Speaker 9: Well.
Speaker 8: He avoided the night Watchman quite neatly for a beginner.
Speaker 8: Thank you very well.
Speaker 9: We shall see a poet should find inspiration.
Speaker 8: Here, mister Snell. Missus Vanderpant is our grand old lady.
Speaker 9: I am quite the oldest inhabitant here, mister Snell. Three
Speaker 9: mergers and a complete.
Speaker 8: Rebuilding, but they didn't get rid of me.
Speaker 9: Where is Ella? Where is my brother? She's bringing it,
Speaker 9: Miss vanderbe O, terrible little creature. She is our foundling,
Speaker 9: mister Snell. She's not quite our sort?
Speaker 7: Is that?
Speaker 9: So? I have been here, mister Snell, ever since the
Speaker 9: terrible times of the eighties. I was a young girl
Speaker 9: and a beauty essay, and poor Papa lost his money.
Speaker 9: He blaces meant a lot to a young girl in
Speaker 9: those days. So when I wasn't able to have a
Speaker 9: charger count, I came here for good. That's better than
Speaker 9: a charger count. I was quite alarmed when others began
Speaker 9: to come after the crash of nineteen hundred and seven.
Speaker 9: But it was the dear jug What do you do
Speaker 9: the colonel, Missus Bilby, How do you do? Missus Bilby
Speaker 9: writes place and comes of an old Philadelphia family. Oh
Speaker 9: you will find us quite nice here, mister Snaill.
Speaker 7: I'm sure I will.
Speaker 9: And of course all that dear young people came in
Speaker 9: nineteen twenty nine. Their poor papa's jumped from skyscrapers. They
Speaker 9: couldn't bear to be without charge accounts either.
Speaker 7: Do you mean all these people live here?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 8: And many more? You shall meet them all later.
Speaker 9: Oh, here, come seller with my block.
Speaker 10: Come, come your stupid thing.
Speaker 8: Missus vander Penn is waiting.
Speaker 6: Yes, ma'am, Yes, sir, I'm coming as fast as I can.
Speaker 9: Now, be careful, don't spit it.
Speaker 8: But she's young, well, of course she is a little
Speaker 8: younger than most of it.
Speaker 7: And she she's different.
Speaker 10: She's beautiful, mister snell Ella is Missus Vanderpurn's me.
Speaker 8: That's right, all men, She's really not our sort at all.
Speaker 7: You shouldn't say such things. She can hear you.
Speaker 6: That doesn't murder.
Speaker 8: You'll understand these things better after you've been here a while.
Speaker 7: But it seems to me that you would do, Snell.
Speaker 9: We have certain rules here. They are necessary for our survival.
Speaker 9: I am sure you won't find it hard to observe them. Yes,
Speaker 9: I should advise that you try. If you do not,
Speaker 9: that would be most unfortunate, mister Snell, most unfortunate.
Speaker 7: For you, October fifteenth. You can imagine my feelings last night.
Speaker 7: My first thought was to escape as quickly as possible.
Speaker 7: In fact, I planned to wait till morning when the
Speaker 7: store opened, then quit my hiding place, mingle with the crowds,
Speaker 7: and leave Braces forever. But just at dawn, mister Rascoe
Speaker 7: brought me a cup of coffee, which must have been
Speaker 7: drugged for I fell asleep, and when I awoke, I
Speaker 7: found I had slept all day and night was closing
Speaker 7: over the store. Once more. Later, I've spent my second
Speaker 7: night here. I saw Ella again, Ella, the pearl of
Speaker 7: this remote, fantastic cave. She's not like the others, a
Speaker 7: trifle pale, but otherwise normal and human and beautiful. A
Speaker 7: child of perhaps eighteen, She's the only thing that makes
Speaker 7: this nightmare bearable. October twentieth, escape seems almost impossible. There's
Speaker 7: a very effective burglar alarm system, and the doors are
Speaker 7: all carefully guarded. But that's nothing compared to the dark men.
Speaker 7: Who are the dark men? I don't know, but they
Speaker 7: threaten any transgressor. With these dark men, I shall try
Speaker 7: to discover who they are. At least I am sure
Speaker 7: I'm watched, though they've begun to trust me. Now, speaking
Speaker 7: to the night Watchman would be suicide, even if he
Speaker 7: believed my phantas haastic story or didn't shoot me as
Speaker 7: a burglar. I'm convinced that neither eleanor I could get
Speaker 7: out of here alive. She and the night Watchmen are
Speaker 7: the only real people here. And how the others hate
Speaker 7: the night.
Speaker 10: Watchman, ohds Burger creature, you reeks of the course South.
Speaker 7: Oh, Come now, missus Bilby. He's really a personable young man,
Speaker 7: very young for a night watchman.
Speaker 8: Mister Snow. Sometimes I wonder about your taste.
Speaker 10: You mustn't stay so much to yourself, mister Snell. You
Speaker 10: must become better acquainted with our wage.
Speaker 8: It's o man who's come to the plate tonight. We're
Speaker 8: going to be entertained with one of Missus Bilby's tragic comedies,
Speaker 8: love and Chdowlin. I'm sure you'll enjoy.
Speaker 7: I'm sure I will.
Speaker 10: It's really a festive occasion.
Speaker 8: You know, Wanamakers is coming over. Wannamakers is the entire
Speaker 8: colony over at Wannamakers is coming here and must to
Speaker 8: attend the place.
Speaker 7: You mean there are people living in other stories?
Speaker 8: Oh dear, yes, didn't you know? Of course?
Speaker 10: The best people live in Graces and Wanna Makers.
Speaker 8: Oh, come now, missus Bilby, there's some very nice people
Speaker 8: at Alphons.
Speaker 10: I beg you.
Speaker 6: Oh hello, Ella, good evening, Snell, Missus Bilby, Well, what
Speaker 6: is it please, ma'am? I'd so love to see your
Speaker 6: play tonight? May I have you?
Speaker 8: Certainly not?
Speaker 10: You know better than that, your stupid creature. You know
Speaker 10: where you belong in the basement. But the garbage can.
Speaker 7: But Missus Bilby couldn't.
Speaker 8: Mister Snell, Ella, you're becoming entirely too forward of late.
Speaker 8: I'd advise you to watch your step. Remember the dark Man.
Speaker 6: Oh no, please, mister Roscolle. I'll be good, I promise
Speaker 6: I will. No, Please don't send for the dark Man.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, Missus Bilby.
Speaker 8: Excuse Ella, come back, mister Snell, you forget yourself, let
Speaker 8: her go.
Speaker 7: But how can you treat her like that? Why do
Speaker 7: you always frighten her? And what is all this about
Speaker 7: the dark Man?
Speaker 10: Wealthy dark worh Please mister Roscoe, not now, you'll spoiler
Speaker 10: whole evening. And I do so want mister Snell to
Speaker 10: enjoy my playing very well.
Speaker 7: Later, But I want to know about the dark Man.
Speaker 9: Lay late.
Speaker 7: October twenty first, at last I found an opportunity to
Speaker 7: speak to Ella alone. I hadn't dared to speak to
Speaker 7: her before. Here one has a sense always of pale
Speaker 7: eyes secretly watching. But last night at the play I
Speaker 7: induced a fit of hiccups as I anticipated. I was
Speaker 7: sternly reprimanded and told to go and secrete myself in
Speaker 7: the basement where the night watchmen wouldn't hear me. This
Speaker 7: was exactly what I had planned. I went to the basement. There,
Speaker 7: in the darkness, among the garbage cans and the rats,
Speaker 7: I heard sobbing, Ella, Ella, Ella? Is that you?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 7: Why are you crying? What is it?
Speaker 11: Ella?
Speaker 6: They wouldn't even let me see the play?
Speaker 7: Is that all?
Speaker 6: Mister Snell? I'm so unhappy they're there.
Speaker 7: You mustn't cry, You're.
Speaker 6: The only one, the only one who's kind.
Speaker 7: Ella, Why are you here? Why do they treat you
Speaker 7: so differently?
Speaker 6: Because I'm not like them. I didn't choose to come here.
Speaker 7: You mean you're held prisoner?
Speaker 6: Yes, you see, I was only six. I came here
Speaker 6: on a shopping tour with my mother. I got lost
Speaker 6: and fell asleep behind the counter. It was dark when
Speaker 6: I awoke, and they found me. Some of them wanted
Speaker 6: to send for the dark men because they were afraid
Speaker 6: I would tell on them, But missus vander Pant said no,
Speaker 6: I could stay and be your maid. I've been here
Speaker 6: ever since.
Speaker 7: Since you was six. Haven't you ever tried to get away?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 6: No, I don't know anything about out there. I wouldn't
Speaker 6: know what to do. Besides, I'm afraid if anyone tries
Speaker 6: to get out, they send for.
Speaker 9: The dark men.
Speaker 11: Ella.
Speaker 7: Who are the dark men?
Speaker 6: Don't you know?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 6: It's horrible.
Speaker 7: Tell me you know how people.
Speaker 6: Live in all the stores it Gimbals and Bloomingdale.
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, I know.
Speaker 6: Well, the dark men lived the undertakers good Heavens, and
Speaker 6: whenever someone dies or breaks the rules, when a burglar
Speaker 6: gets in and sees these people and might tell they
Speaker 6: send for the dark man.
Speaker 2: Horrible.
Speaker 6: They put the body in the butcher shop and the
Speaker 6: food department, and then the dark men come. I saw
Speaker 6: them once. It was terrible.
Speaker 7: What do they do?
Speaker 6: They go in where the dead person is. They have
Speaker 6: wax with them and all sorts of things, And when
Speaker 6: they're gone, there's just a wax model left on the counter.
Speaker 6: Then our people put a frock on it, or bathing
Speaker 6: a suit, mix it up with the other wax models
Speaker 6: in the windows, and nobody ever knows.
Speaker 7: Ella. You mean all these dummies around us, all.
Speaker 6: Not all of them. But if you displease these people,
Speaker 6: the same thing will happen to you.
Speaker 8: October thirtieth.
Speaker 7: I haven't kept up my journal. Writing has been out
Speaker 7: of the question once more. I'm frozen with terror, but
Speaker 7: not for myself, now for Ella. They hate her. Any
Speaker 7: time they might turn against her and send for the
Speaker 7: dark men. My mind is filled with her. I dream
Speaker 7: of her every day. I'd live to see her at night.
Speaker 7: We've managed it several times. They trust me now and
Speaker 7: let me roam about without interference. Finally, to night I
Speaker 7: met her again and said it, Ella, I love you,
Speaker 7: Oh Charles, I love you. Ella let's get married or
Speaker 7: whatever they do here. Then we can live together in
Speaker 7: my home in the carpet department. They wouldn't dare hurt
Speaker 7: you then, Oh, Charles, look so dismayed. If you like,
Speaker 7: we'll go away from here. Maybe we can get transferred
Speaker 7: to to Bergdorf Goodman's overlooking Central Park.
Speaker 6: Don't, Charles, don't. You mustn't.
Speaker 7: But I love you, Ella, you're not in love with
Speaker 7: someone else?
Speaker 6: Yes, Charles, I am.
Speaker 7: But who I thought you hated them all? It must
Speaker 7: be Roscoe. He's the only one that's young enough.
Speaker 6: Oh no, Charles, not Roscoe, especially not him. I do
Speaker 6: hate them all. They make me shudder.
Speaker 7: Well who is it? Then it's him who.
Speaker 6: The night watchman?
Speaker 7: No, impossible, I love him.
Speaker 6: He smells of the sun. Ella, Oh it was wonderful
Speaker 6: the way it happened. Don't tell on me, Charles. Are
Speaker 6: they to punish me? No? I was careless, and there
Speaker 6: he was, coming around the corner in the Ladies Lingerie apartment.
Speaker 6: I was caught. There were only some wax models in
Speaker 6: they're underthings. There was nothing else to do. I slipped
Speaker 6: off my dress and stood still.
Speaker 7: Oh I'll see.
Speaker 6: He stopped and looked at me and Charles. He spoke
Speaker 6: to me. He said, say, Honey, I wish they made
Speaker 6: him like you on eighth Avenue. Charles, wasn't that a
Speaker 6: lovely thing to say?
Speaker 7: Personally? I should have said it.
Speaker 6: Doesn't matter what street. It was a lovely thing to say.
Speaker 7: But what can you do about him? Ella, he belongs
Speaker 7: to another world.
Speaker 6: Yes, to wait that avenue. I want to go there, Charles.
Speaker 6: Are you really my friend?
Speaker 7: Yes, of course I am.
Speaker 6: And I'll tell you I'm going to stand there again
Speaker 6: in the lingerie department, so we'll see me and then
Speaker 6: perhaps they'll speak to me again.
Speaker 7: Ella, you're only torturing yourself.
Speaker 6: No, because this time I shall answer him.
Speaker 7: He'll take me away, take you away. Oh no, Ella,
Speaker 7: I couldn't bear that. You don't love him. You only
Speaker 7: think you do because you think he'll take you out
Speaker 7: of here. But you don't know that he will And
Speaker 7: I will. Ella, I've made up my mind.
Speaker 6: No, Charles, I couldn't let you do it, even if
Speaker 6: I loved you. You couldn't do it, Charles.
Speaker 11: Why not?
Speaker 6: Because you really belong here? You're You've become one of them.
Speaker 7: Now, Ella, you mustn't say that it's true.
Speaker 6: And Charles. I got to go. There's someone watching as
Speaker 6: I feel it.
Speaker 7: Wait, Ella, goodbye, Charles, Ella, come back, Ella, you'll.
Speaker 8: Arouse the night watchman.
Speaker 7: Rascal.
Speaker 8: Yes, love can be very upsetting, can't it you heard? Yes,
Speaker 8: just the last moment, or so very touching. Yet it's understandable.
Speaker 8: I've been attracted to Ella myself. So she loves another.
Speaker 6: Huh?
Speaker 8: Too bad, old boy? Who could it be? Could it
Speaker 8: be that I am the cause of your heartbreak?
Speaker 7: You flatter yourself too much, Rascal?
Speaker 8: Then whom the old judge? Certainly, not the colonel, hardly,
Speaker 8: none of those? Oh not one of the customers, the staff.
Speaker 7: She loves the night watchman. Can you imagine that she
Speaker 7: loves them? Oh, Rascal, I shouldn't have said that. It's
Speaker 7: not true. At least I don't think it's true. You
Speaker 7: wouldn't rascale. You said you loved her too, You wouldn't
Speaker 7: do anything, tell anybody. This is a secret between us,
Speaker 7: between friends, isn't it?
Speaker 8: Of course? Oldly as secret as the grave.
Speaker 7: She's young. Perhaps he'll leave and she'll forget him in time.
Speaker 7: Who knows, Perhaps you'll learn.
Speaker 8: To love you or me, of course, in time, and.
Speaker 7: We'll figure a way to keep her safe.
Speaker 8: Here absolutely see, and don't you worry about it? To
Speaker 8: al Mustne time forbid. Good morning, mister.
Speaker 11: Snow, early evening, November fourth.
Speaker 7: I was a fool. I should have known he couldn't
Speaker 7: be trusted. He must have gone straight to missus van
Speaker 7: der Pant. Because this evening the atmosphere has changed. People
Speaker 7: flicker to and fro, smiling nervously horribly with a sort
Speaker 7: of frightened sadistic exultation. An informal dance in the record
Speaker 7: department has been called off. I can't find Ella. I'm
Speaker 7: going out again now to look for her. Rascal, what
Speaker 7: have you done with that?
Speaker 8: Ssh? Quiet, old boy, the night.
Speaker 7: Watchman, I don't care what have you done.
Speaker 8: Whatever I did was for your own good as well
Speaker 8: as for the good of us all.
Speaker 7: Wait a minute, what is that? What are those people carrying?
Speaker 7: That's Ella. She's tied up. They're carrying Ella.
Speaker 6: Ella.
Speaker 8: Stop the child, stop it, don't stop, stop child, stop it,
Speaker 8: you'll arouse the night watchman.
Speaker 5: There.
Speaker 7: They're taking her in into the butcher shop.
Speaker 6: Roscoe.
Speaker 8: Yes, those are the dark men, good Lord.
Speaker 7: Midnight. I'm scribbling this last entry hurriedly. They are in
Speaker 7: there in the butcher's shop with Ella the dark men.
Speaker 7: There's only one thing to do. I'm going to find
Speaker 7: the night Watchman and tell him he and I will
Speaker 7: save her if we can, and if we are overpowered, well,
Speaker 7: I will leave this pad on the stationary counter tomorrow.
Speaker 7: If I live, I will recover it. If I do not.
Speaker 7: Whoever finds this and reads it, look in the store windows.
Speaker 7: Look for three new wax dummies. Two men, one rather
Speaker 7: sensitive looking, and a girl. She has blonde hair and
Speaker 7: blue eyes, and her nose turns up a little. Look
Speaker 7: for us, and then find them, Smoke them out, exterminate them,
Speaker 7: avenge us.
Speaker 5: Oh Sam, isn't it horrible?
Speaker 7: Ah?
Speaker 5: We gotta do something, tell somebody something, Oh Sam?
Speaker 7: What do we do?
Speaker 8: Do?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 7: Nothing? Go to bed?
Speaker 6: What's Sam?
Speaker 4: Who have wrote this is sure got a weird sense
Speaker 4: of humor. It's probably some clerk. Donald Bracy's wanna be fired.
Speaker 5: But you you mean you think it's just a story?
Speaker 6: Are you kidding?
Speaker 4: He don't believe this stuff?
Speaker 7: Do you?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 4: I don't know what I Oh, forget it, baby, I
Speaker 4: snap out of it. I shouldn't leave you alone. You
Speaker 4: get too many ideas. When I go out balling at night.
Speaker 5: But don't you think maybe we ought to just do
Speaker 5: take it back and show somebody.
Speaker 7: Or not just not worth a bart of that? Laugh
Speaker 7: at your baby? You think you are crazy or something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I guess you're right. I guess I was silly.
Speaker 7: I forget it. Oh, come on, let's go to bed.
Speaker 5: I'm tired, Okay, okay, Sam, Gee, you know that for
Speaker 5: a while, I sure was scared.
