And the second thing, and this is 364 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,640 what really gets me, is the Iroquois development deal. I 365 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,839 never heard of it, but he's worked on some real 366 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,519 estate thing. It's going to take millions. Now, that's nothing 367 00:21:56,559 --> 00:21:57,200 new for him. 368 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 2: It's wild, barren country. I mean, you can't sell it 369 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:00,839 to anyway. 370 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,519 Speaker 4: I assure you that Raymond can find people to put 371 00:22:03,519 --> 00:22:04,640 out money by anything. 372 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 2: But this isn't a public offering. This is something for 373 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,279 the company to finance on its own. How do you 374 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:09,880 know all this? 375 00:22:10,839 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 5: I told you I'm serious about the business. I want 376 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,640 to learn it. As a matter of fact, I'm even getting. 377 00:22:17,319 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 2: To like it. 378 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 4: Can Raymond be thinking about I don't know, And I 379 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,599 hate to say this, but I'm afraid that Raymond is well, 380 00:22:27,599 --> 00:22:32,200 he's not competent to handle the business. Doudless. Something has 381 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,759 happened to Uncle Ray. I don't know what it is, 382 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,720 but he just isn't the same person. It's as if 383 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,160 he's a stranger, a. 384 00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 5: Man who no longer has the faintest idea of what 385 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:53,839 he's doing in that office. Just a minute, How did 386 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,319 you know it was Raymond? 387 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 2: Come in? You pictured the house? I I I don't 388 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:04,480 know how I pictured it. 389 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 4: A house like any other house on the suburban street. 390 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 2: I'm here. 391 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 4: Each other's wants something from the other. 392 00:23:13,079 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 2: I I don't know what you're talking about. And leave. 393 00:23:16,799 --> 00:23:20,799 Speaker 4: It was wrong of you to make contact. Leave and 394 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,240 give me a chance to find someone else I want. 395 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,319 Speaker 3: I want the Iroquois project. Yes, you don't know what 396 00:23:27,319 --> 00:23:28,640 that means to you. 397 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 2: You will tell me. One day. 398 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 3: One day, I was sitting in my office and a 399 00:23:34,519 --> 00:23:39,119 question crossed my mind. The question was, I hope you're 400 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:39,720 not gonna laugh. 401 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,799 Speaker 4: You know I will not laugh at you, and I 402 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,200 know you will not laugh at me. 403 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 3: I asked myself, what am I gonna do if there's 404 00:23:50,039 --> 00:23:54,680 a god? Yes, you see, I I've lived my entire 405 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,000 life as if there isn't any God. Do you understand? 406 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,599 I understand I have done everything. Well, no, not everything, 407 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,599 but many of the things that God would disapprove of. 408 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,440 I admit that flat out, and I won't be I 409 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,319 can't be a hypocrite about it. So what am I 410 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,400 propose to do the Iroquois Project. It's a one hundred 411 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,400 thousand acre tract of wild, undeveloped country. I want to 412 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,599 make it a place where people can go and live 413 00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:19,559 and find peace. 414 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 2: Do you understand me? 415 00:24:21,599 --> 00:24:26,279 Speaker 3: That's good because nobody else will. I'm not selling anything. 416 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,200 I'm getting it away. Anyone who wants to can live 417 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,079 there for as long as he needs to, and everything 418 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:32,559 is provided free of charge. 419 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 2: Do you see? I see? 420 00:24:34,599 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 3: So, if there is a God, this won't square me 421 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,839 with him. For what I've taken, I shall have returned. 422 00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:45,200 But if I'm gonna be okay up in heaven when 423 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,440 I die, I'm gonna be in plenty of hot water 424 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,000 down here on earth while I'm alive. 425 00:24:50,079 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 2: You know that I now in the first place. 426 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,559 Speaker 3: They're starting to ask questions right now in the office 427 00:24:55,559 --> 00:24:59,279 about the project. My wife is an officer of the corporation. 428 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:00,920 She she could move. 429 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,519 Speaker 2: To stop what I'm doing I can help you. Well. 430 00:25:03,559 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 3: From one viewpoint, it can all look like a giant 431 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,359 fraud you see. From another, it can appear that I've 432 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:10,680 gone completely insane. 433 00:25:10,759 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 2: I see that. 434 00:25:11,319 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 3: So what I can expect to get out of the 435 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,880 Iroquois project is to spend the rest of my life 436 00:25:17,319 --> 00:25:19,279 either in a prison or a sanitarium. 437 00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:22,599 Speaker 2: And that's why I need someone, someone to help me, 438 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,920 to help you do faught escape. But so far you 439 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,119 have done nothing wrong. I have I have. 440 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,519 Speaker 3: I've done more than just think about the project and 441 00:25:32,599 --> 00:25:35,759 talk about it. I've already spent an enormous amount of 442 00:25:35,799 --> 00:25:39,920 money on money I simply cannot account for if I 443 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:40,559 would have to. 444 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,559 Speaker 2: That's why I must escape. And that is why you 445 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,839 reached out for me. Yes, yes, but why did you 446 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:48,680 reach out for me? 447 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 4: I want to go home home. I cannot explain it. 448 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,519 Speaker 2: Why not? You could never understand what It has to 449 00:25:55,559 --> 00:25:57,200 be simple, just tell me the name of the place. 450 00:25:57,799 --> 00:25:59,240 But Rael is your. 451 00:25:59,119 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 4: Name, I said. 452 00:26:00,039 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 2: You could never understand it. Everyone who lives on Rael 453 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:09,240 is called Rauel. But it is the way it is said. 454 00:26:09,599 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 3: Now, Look, it has to be somewhere, how many miles 455 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:12,920 in which direction? 456 00:26:13,079 --> 00:26:18,279 Speaker 4: No, it is here, here. What do you say it 457 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,440 is the other side of here. There is no way 458 00:26:22,519 --> 00:26:25,799 I can make you understand it, just as I really 459 00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:27,640 do not understand the real meaning of. 460 00:26:27,599 --> 00:26:32,799 Speaker 2: Your Iroquois project. But I believe you, and you must 461 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:37,559 believe me. Will you say you believe me? Raymond? 462 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:43,519 Speaker 3: I believe you, criyal. But if you don't come from here, 463 00:26:44,759 --> 00:26:45,680 what are you doing here? 464 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 4: I was very young, and I was very foolish, and 465 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:56,200 one day I decided for a force Do you follow me? 466 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 2: I'm not sure? 467 00:26:58,279 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 4: And it brought me here, but it does not work anymore, 468 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:05,680 and I need a new one? 469 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 2: How can you get a new one? 470 00:27:08,039 --> 00:27:12,079 Speaker 4: Whatever it is you you are going to help me, Raymond? 471 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 2: Me, how what do I know about it? And from 472 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,960 what you're saying, you're talking about a level of science 473 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,920 that we have yet to achieve here on Earth. 474 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 6: I know? 475 00:27:21,799 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 2: Then how can I be? 476 00:27:23,039 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 4: Civilization has its mysterious force, the basic essence that makes 477 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:30,200 things happen. 478 00:27:31,559 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 2: I discovered the one that you have on Earth. 479 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 4: It is money, obvious not to a stranger, and it 480 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,559 is money that can create my force field that will 481 00:27:44,599 --> 00:27:45,640 take me home again. 482 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,519 Speaker 2: But no one on Earth knows how to build such 483 00:27:47,519 --> 00:27:50,720 a lot I do. I do. I will use the 484 00:27:50,799 --> 00:27:55,160 money to transform the raw materials into energy. That'll take 485 00:27:55,359 --> 00:28:00,200 machinery and skills. You see you here and what you 486 00:28:00,319 --> 00:28:03,240 call the earth. Use your money. 487 00:28:03,319 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 4: Literally, the money transforms a tree into a house, but 488 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,079 first you go through the motions of physical labor. I 489 00:28:11,319 --> 00:28:17,079 know how to transform the money into pure energy without wasting. 490 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 2: Time or effort. Do you understand well? I think so. 491 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,359 I'm not sure. Could I go back with you? 492 00:28:23,799 --> 00:28:26,559 Speaker 4: That is the only way you can escape. 493 00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 3: What you're saying is with money, you can build a 494 00:28:31,519 --> 00:28:34,319 force field to a thing or whatever that will. 495 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 2: Transport, transmit us. 496 00:28:36,319 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 3: Back to whatever it is you come from. Yes, do 497 00:28:39,559 --> 00:28:41,240 you know how much money you'll need? 498 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,799 Speaker 4: I have priced the values of the basic raw materials. 499 00:28:46,319 --> 00:28:52,559 I will need exactly one million dollars. 500 00:28:57,039 --> 00:28:59,359 Speaker 2: One million dollars. 501 00:29:00,359 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: True, in these days, a million dollars is no longer 502 00:29:04,079 --> 00:29:07,440 an awe inspiring sum, but it's hardly an amount to 503 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:12,440 be bandied about lightly. And consider the conversation you've just 504 00:29:12,519 --> 00:29:16,839 heard in context. Is it possible that j Raymond Trask 505 00:29:17,079 --> 00:29:20,000 is one of the shrewdest articles in the financial world? 506 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:26,759 Everybody thinks so well. Estimates will be revised upward or 507 00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:40,920 downward when I returned shortly. With Act three, a man 508 00:29:41,119 --> 00:29:45,000 travels his merry and selfish way through life, taking what 509 00:29:45,119 --> 00:29:48,759 pleases him with hardly a thought for either the consequences 510 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,599 or the next fellow, And then, suddenly, without warning, one 511 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,799 day it occurs to him that there may be a 512 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,200 judgment and a judge, and he realizes. 513 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,119 Speaker 2: That he owes a tremendous debts. But will he be 514 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,160 able to pay it? One million dollars? 515 00:30:08,519 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 4: I can convert one million dollars into the energy required 516 00:30:12,759 --> 00:30:15,640 for us to escape it. 517 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 3: It won't be easy for me to raise one million dollars. 518 00:30:18,559 --> 00:30:21,759 I know, No, I'm afraid you don't. You'd have no 519 00:30:22,079 --> 00:30:25,960 way of understanding the complications. That is not what is difficult. 520 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,559 Speaker 4: Those are the mechanics you can solve them. 521 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 2: The conflict. 522 00:30:31,319 --> 00:30:36,039 Speaker 4: The true difficulty is now within yourself. You are beginning 523 00:30:36,039 --> 00:30:37,599 to doubt and to question. 524 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,079 Speaker 2: Well, I wouldn't exactly say that I have. 525 00:30:40,119 --> 00:30:44,359 Speaker 4: Been through this before. What do you mean before you 526 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:50,279 and I made contact, there were others, others. I reached 527 00:30:50,319 --> 00:30:53,680 out and touched others before I touched you. 528 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 2: Do you mean you actually spoke like this? 529 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 4: I have been here a long long time, but In 530 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,680 the end, they all failed me. That was because in 531 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:10,400 their hearts they really did not believe me. Do you 532 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:11,000 believe me? 533 00:31:11,119 --> 00:31:16,519 Speaker 2: Raymond? I? Ah, this is the crucial time, Raymond, Right now, 534 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,000 this minute, I can read your mind. You can. 535 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:25,319 Speaker 4: Yes, you are saying what am I getting into? I 536 00:31:26,039 --> 00:31:29,200 read some notice in a newspaper and here I am 537 00:31:29,359 --> 00:31:32,039 talking to to a strange woman And. 538 00:31:32,119 --> 00:31:33,359 Speaker 2: It has to be crazy. 539 00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 4: Isn't that what is going through your mind? 540 00:31:36,559 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 2: Raymond?

The children make a lot 722 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,320 of noise, but to me, it's a wonderful sound. 723 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,280 Speaker 2: They have a lot of energy. 724 00:42:19,159 --> 00:42:21,079 Speaker 4: A lot of playing to do before they take on 725 00:42:21,159 --> 00:42:24,400 the serious world of adulthood. Every day they take on 726 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,559 a bit more of this wonderful world. I guess we're 727 00:42:27,639 --> 00:42:30,400 lucky because there are so many places in the world 728 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,880 where the children are two weak even for play Bangladesh Hondurans. 729 00:42:35,079 --> 00:42:37,440 Right here at home, they're week from the lack of 730 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,920 protein and essential vitamins, weak from the bad water and 731 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,800 the parasites that rob them of important nutrients, a childhood 732 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,760 of tears instead of laughter, And even if they do 733 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,760 manage to become adult, their minds and limbs will be 734 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,239 stunded by chronic malnutrition. You can help a child to 735 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,559 grow up strong and independent, maybe even be one. 736 00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:58,639 Speaker 2: Of tomorrow's leaders. 737 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 4: Send your contribution and to save the children Box nine 738 00:43:02,079 --> 00:43:05,920 seventy Grand Central Station, New York, one zero zero one seven. 739 00:43:06,199 --> 00:43:09,719 That Save the Children, Box nine seventy Grand Central Station, 740 00:43:10,119 --> 00:43:18,719 New York, one zero zero one seven. 741 00:43:23,559 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 1: They say you can't be all things to all people. 742 00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:34,320 We can because our stories have something for everybody. Do 743 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,480 you want to believe Rael is a visitor from another world? 744 00:43:39,679 --> 00:43:44,199 Such an assumption cannot be disproved. Is she a slick 745 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:49,400 flim flam artist. Well, if that interpretation makes you feel better, 746 00:43:50,039 --> 00:43:56,000 be our guest. It is scientifically possible to create a force. 747 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 2: Field to break away from the world. 748 00:43:58,639 --> 00:44:04,159 Speaker 1: It's also possible to elude even the tightest police surveillance. 749 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:10,440 All things are possible, especially here. Seven times each week, 750 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,679 our cast included Larry Haynes, Carol Titel, Mary Jane Higbee, 751 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:20,320 Don Scardino, and Arnold Moss. The entire production was under 752 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:27,360 the direction of Hyman Brown, and now a preview of 753 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:28,679 our next tale. 754 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:33,280 Speaker 4: The Greeks and the Romans were hardly barbarians. In many 755 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:37,760 respective civilization was superior to our own. In the second place, 756 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,280 it is the height of arrogance to call anybody's religion nonsense. 757 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,280 Speaker 3: Are you trying to tell me that this silly looking 758 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,800 oath that is employed in our staples is actually an 759 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,159 ancient Greek god called Vulcan? 760 00:44:51,599 --> 00:44:56,679 Speaker 2: His Roman name was Vulcan, His Greek name was a Feestus. 761 00:44:57,079 --> 00:45:01,920 All right, all right, just answer one question. If it's true, 762 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,079 what is he doing here? Working for us? 763 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:10,239 Speaker 4: This god of yours, with very few exceptions of visits 764 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,920 from the gods, usually meant a great deal of trouble 765 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,239 for the people he called on? 766 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,239 Speaker 2: What kind of trouble? I uh, I just hope we 767 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,159 never find out the hard way. 768 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 1: Radio Mystery Theater were sponsored in part by Listerine Lozenges Z.
