00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:07.919
<v Speaker 1>The Damon Runyan Theater.

2
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Once again, the Damon Runy in Theater brings you another

3
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:27.679
<v Speaker 2>story by the master storyteller, Damon Runya, and this one

4
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:28.839
<v Speaker 2>social error.

5
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:31.559
<v Speaker 1>And to tell it to you here is Broadway.

6
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:32.920
<v Speaker 3>Thanks well.

7
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:35.520
<v Speaker 4>It is one morning along about two in the am

8
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:37.759
<v Speaker 4>when I am sitting in the Hotbox Club talking of

9
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:39.560
<v Speaker 4>this and that with Miss Midgie Muldouk.

10
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:42.600
<v Speaker 5>Now, Midgie is not a crow by any means. Although

11
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 5>she is only knee high to a Pomerini for short one,

12
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.280
<v Speaker 5>I never see a better looking dot and is well

13
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:51.119
<v Speaker 5>known to understand that more than several citizens would like.

14
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.960
<v Speaker 4>Nothing better than to hear Miss Midgie Muldoon speaking soft woods.

15
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:57.399
<v Speaker 5>To However, she has nothing to do with the various

16
00:00:57.479 --> 00:00:58.079
<v Speaker 5>high shots.

17
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:00.960
<v Speaker 4>So while we are talking, she stops in the middle

18
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:02.320
<v Speaker 4>of a sentence and says.

19
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:04.920
<v Speaker 6>Oh, no, here he comes again.

20
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:06.640
<v Speaker 5>Here who comes again?

21
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 6>Coming in the door? Jack Madigan, Oh handsome Jack, Handsome Jack.

22
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 6>No wonder he's so conceited. Couldn't you find a better

23
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:14.760
<v Speaker 6>name for it?

24
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.159
<v Speaker 5>But you will have to admit that Fitz, I.

25
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.799
<v Speaker 6>Can't stand him. Of all the people I can't stand,

26
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:21.079
<v Speaker 6>he's right on top.

27
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:22.359
<v Speaker 7>He sees you. Migi.

28
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:24.959
<v Speaker 6>Please don't go way Broadly, no matter what he says.

29
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.680
<v Speaker 4>Well, Mitchie, handsome Jack is not a very good citizen

30
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:28.760
<v Speaker 4>to cross in any way.

31
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.079
<v Speaker 6>Don't leave me alone, please.

32
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:32.879
<v Speaker 5>What if he asked me to go not politely?

33
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:41.840
<v Speaker 6>I'll handle him, only don't leave me alone with him.

34
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:44.879
<v Speaker 4>So I stay because Mitchie asked me to. But I

35
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.400
<v Speaker 4>know it is not going to be comfortable, because handsome

36
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:50.359
<v Speaker 4>Jack Madigan always strikes me as a guy who is rough,

37
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:52.640
<v Speaker 4>and I always figured the best you can get out

38
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:54.319
<v Speaker 4>of citizens like that is the worst of it.

39
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.640
<v Speaker 5>However, I sit tight, and it is because.

40
00:01:57.319 --> 00:01:58.920
<v Speaker 4>I do that I am in on the beginning of

41
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:02.439
<v Speaker 4>a very strange story, indeed, one which I will tell

42
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:20.280
<v Speaker 4>you in a minute.

43
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 2>I am now back to the Damon Runyon Theater and

44
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:26.879
<v Speaker 2>the famous story social error.

45
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.039
<v Speaker 4>Like guys say, I sit tight because Midgie Muldoon does

46
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:42.240
<v Speaker 4>not wish to be alone with handsome Jack Madigan.

47
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 5>Well, it takes him maybe two seconds to come across

48
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.240
<v Speaker 5>the floor. He looks down and says.

49
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:50.000
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Mitgie, I was fine.

50
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 7>Broadway how it.

51
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:53.879
<v Speaker 5>Thinks, ups and downs mostly down.

52
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, you got something to do Broadway, Not a thing, Jack.

53
00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.960
<v Speaker 5>I am just whiling away the wee hours of the morning.

54
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.000
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, well they are pretty wee by now, and you

55
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:03.879
<v Speaker 8>look tired. Maybe you better beat it and crawl in

56
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:05.919
<v Speaker 8>the kip. I am not sleeping, I think you are.

57
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:07.599
<v Speaker 2>No, he is not going.

58
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 7>You want him to stay.

59
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:11.680
<v Speaker 6>He's the only one I want to stay.

60
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:13.919
<v Speaker 7>Why do you keep giving me the brush? Midgie?

61
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:15.560
<v Speaker 6>It's the only thing for Dandre.

62
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 7>Look, there ain't nothing wrong with me.

63
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:19.319
<v Speaker 6>Nothing that that be on yourself wouldn't cure.

64
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:20.479
<v Speaker 7>You got me wrong?

65
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.719
<v Speaker 6>I wait a minute. I've told you a dozen times

66
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.039
<v Speaker 6>I don't like you. I never will like it, So

67
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:28.719
<v Speaker 6>please don't hang around me. Don't send me flowers, candy, jewelry.

<v Speaker 8>Like always, I am poisoned to it, and I am

77
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 8>a fourteen carrot golden laid sap for making a plate

78
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.199
<v Speaker 8>for it. There are a million dollars that would roll

79
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.520
<v Speaker 8>over and sit up if I give him a tumble.

80
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, Jack, do you ever think that maybe miss Midgie

00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.719

00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:29.639
<v Speaker 4>for a while, she will think different.

91
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:31.240

<v Speaker 7>That is why I say I can never figure dolls.

<v Speaker 9>She just think of it, handsome Jack Madigan sour enough

105
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:04.759
<v Speaker 9>because of a Donald.

106
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:06.279
<v Speaker 5>Maybe he is on the level.

107
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 3>Jack like a cork screwed.

108
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:10.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I look, Dave, I see a lot of guys,

109
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:12.000
<v Speaker 5>tough guys, high shots.

110
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.199
<v Speaker 3>So so each one of them has.

111
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.959
<v Speaker 5>Got a place inside where things can hurt.

112
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:22.839
<v Speaker 3>Not Jack, maybe, okay, maybe, but until I see that

113
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:25.720
<v Speaker 3>guy do something by somebody, something that does not figure

114
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:27.879
<v Speaker 3>to put him and I went an end. I say

115
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 3>he is not level. And they do not blame Mitgie

116
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:37.160
<v Speaker 3>muldoon for passing up by case of measles like that guy.

117
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.759
<v Speaker 4>Well, somehow I figured that day the dude is wrong

118
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 4>about Jack, because there is something in the way Jack

119
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:44.519
<v Speaker 4>looks at Migie that makes me think.

120
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.439
<v Speaker 5>Here is a guy who is well lighted inside with

121
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.480
<v Speaker 5>what the poets call the old love light.

122
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.959
<v Speaker 4>He continues to be soft for her, and she continues

123
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.759
<v Speaker 4>to walk past him like he is someplace else. Then

124
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:58.000
<v Speaker 4>it is about a week later in the hot box club,

125
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.040
<v Speaker 4>which Dave the Dude o'ts I'm sitting with Dave and

126
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.079
<v Speaker 4>Jack when the scene is as fun as.

127
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.639
<v Speaker 3>Nice crowd tonight, very nice.

128
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:08.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and it is certainly not the food that brings

129
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:09.000
<v Speaker 5>them in.

130
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.120
<v Speaker 3>You what don't know better than to eat an here?

131
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.720
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think maybe because you are a friend of mine,

132
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:15.839
<v Speaker 4>the sandwich will not be all rubber and wood.

133
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:19.639
<v Speaker 7>Hey, Dave, there is your friend again.

134
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:25.279
<v Speaker 9>Huh ah. The Makyle Dame humhm. Every night she comes in.

135
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:31.600
<v Speaker 8>She is not choicy about her dancing parts, high society stuff.

136
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:33.600
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, Harriet mackiel.

137
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:36.000
<v Speaker 4>It seems to me I remember her getting into quite

138
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.120
<v Speaker 4>a few newspapers for one thing or another.

139
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:40.519
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, one thing of another.

140
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:42.600
<v Speaker 7>Dancing with Red Henry.

141
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.199
<v Speaker 5>There is something I cannot understand.

142
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.720
<v Speaker 4>And now, with all the toy in the world, and

143
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:50.000
<v Speaker 4>she dances with tough guys no offense, Dave Jack.

144
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:54.319
<v Speaker 3>She thinks it is smart romanty. She goes back towards

145
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.199
<v Speaker 3>society friends and tells them she dances with a safe flower.

146
00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:59.319
<v Speaker 4>I think if I wish to dance with a safe flower,

147
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:01.399
<v Speaker 4>and I do not think that is likely, I will

148
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:03.079
<v Speaker 4>pick a nicer one than read Henry.

149
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.360
<v Speaker 9>Funny, ain't it him? Is this Mickyle Dane.

150
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.680
<v Speaker 3>She can take a pick of any society guy she wants,

151
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.480
<v Speaker 3>but she puts on the eye for guys like Ved Henry.

152
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:17.000
<v Speaker 3>So him is a guy like handsome Jack. He goes

153
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.399
<v Speaker 3>for a kid like Miggie Muldoon who will have nothing

154
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:20.480
<v Speaker 3>to do with hot shots.

155
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.160
<v Speaker 7>This let us leave me out of it. Huh sure, shure.

156
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:26.120
<v Speaker 3>But it is still very funny. And to make it

157
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.560
<v Speaker 3>even funnier, there is a guy named Basil Valentine.

158
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:31.439
<v Speaker 5>That is a name or a greeting guy.

159
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:35.120
<v Speaker 9>He stings for magazines. Now he wants to be tough,

160
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:37.680
<v Speaker 9>but is as mild as they come. He goes for

161
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:40.199
<v Speaker 9>the Mikyle Dame, who will have nothing to do with him.

162
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:42.160
<v Speaker 9>In fact, he never even meets it.

163
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.160
<v Speaker 7>Everything is all twisted around.

164
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:49.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, sure is that Basil Valentine just sits here every

165
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:51.000
<v Speaker 3>night looking at the Mikyle Dane.

166
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.399
<v Speaker 7>Right now, she is looking at us.

167
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:58.439
<v Speaker 3>Then the one she comes over, you win your bet.

168
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.920
<v Speaker 3>She is looking at you, so she is looking at me.

169
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:06.439
<v Speaker 3>So what I see? You look like that before? Jack,

170
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:08.800
<v Speaker 3>you were about to be romantic.

171
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.920
<v Speaker 7>Nuts. She does not look like a million to me.

172
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:15.160
<v Speaker 5>No, but she has a few good evening day.

173
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:17.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh well, why are you, Miss McConn.

174
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:18.560
<v Speaker 8>Just fine, thank you.

175
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:23.079
<v Speaker 3>I don't believe i've met this gentleman. No, well, this

176
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:26.639
<v Speaker 3>is handsome Jack Madigan, May Jack, Miss mcind.

177
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:27.920
<v Speaker 7>How do you do good?

178
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.279
<v Speaker 3>This is Broadway? How are you am getting along?

179
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.320
<v Speaker 7>I hope you don't think I'm intruding? Not in that dress?

180
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:40.960
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, Hey sir, Miss McCann, thank you having a

00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:49.039
<v Speaker 7>Help yourself light? Sure?

184
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:56.679
<v Speaker 8>So you're the famous handsome Jack Madigan.

185
00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:58.559
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, real famous.

186
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:03.279
<v Speaker 3>Look I got some weight that don't enjoy yourselves?

187
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.000
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, see you later, Dave. Goodbye, Dave.

188
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:10.919
<v Speaker 1>Do you live near here, mister Broadway?

189
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:11.879
<v Speaker 7>Not far away?

190
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:16.679
<v Speaker 9>I was just asking, why, no reason in particular.

191
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:18.360
<v Speaker 7>Where do you live, miss macau.

192
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:20.960
<v Speaker 9>Why don't you call me Harriet?

193
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:25.080
<v Speaker 7>Okay, Harriet? Why did you ask me where I live?

194
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:29.679
<v Speaker 7>No reason? In particular? You're not very friendly, are you? Jack?

195
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:32.039
<v Speaker 7>Sometimes I am very friendly?

196
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:35.000
<v Speaker 6>I see I.

197
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I do wish that man in the horn room

198
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:40.440
<v Speaker 3>glasses would stop staring at me? Which one that one

199
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:41.759
<v Speaker 3>by himself at the table?

200
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:45.919
<v Speaker 7>Oh him Valentine. Every place I go there he is,

201
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:47.000
<v Speaker 7>he annoys me.

202
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:50.879
<v Speaker 9>It's possible, Miss mcgaul. What do you mean nothing at door?

203
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.120
<v Speaker 3>Not to do? I'm going to speak to Dave about

204
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.120
<v Speaker 3>that Valentine person.

205
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:00.879
<v Speaker 7>Oh, perhaps you'd do me a favor, Jay, like what?

206
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:04.279
<v Speaker 3>I don't like that man staring at me?

207
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:09.320
<v Speaker 6>Oh do you think it's funny?

208
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:09.679
<v Speaker 7>Sure?

209
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:12.159
<v Speaker 8>Because if you think I am going over there and

210
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.159
<v Speaker 8>talk to bad bassle, you are crazy. Talk to who

211
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:19.519
<v Speaker 8>bad Vassal Valentine bad Dazzle? Sure why he will kill

212
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:23.720
<v Speaker 8>anyone quicker than you can say scat that harns looking man,

213
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:27.320
<v Speaker 8>Miss Michael, Bad Basil can scarcely sleep good any night.

214
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:28.679
<v Speaker 8>He does not kill some guys?

215
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:29.799
<v Speaker 5>Jack, what are you saying?

216
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.159
<v Speaker 8>It is all right Broadway, Miss Michael. Here is a

217
00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.039
<v Speaker 8>friend we can talk about bad Basstle.

218
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:36.720
<v Speaker 5>But he he seems so gentle.

219
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:38.960
<v Speaker 8>Looking, Miss Michael, I once know a hood who is

220
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.639
<v Speaker 8>so gentle looking that the people mistake him for a spaniel.

221
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:44.200
<v Speaker 7>But he ends up in the chair at singson.

222
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.519
<v Speaker 5>Miss michaiel you asked me a minute ago where I lived.

223
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:49.919
<v Speaker 5>I am now going there? Good night?

224
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:51.919
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, no, I'll go.

225
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.399
<v Speaker 7>Maybe you would like to meet bad Basil.

226
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.759
<v Speaker 6>Huh well yes, but later, good night?

227
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:00.080
<v Speaker 7>Good night.

228
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:03.840
<v Speaker 5>Jack. The sandwich you eat is not that bad?

229
00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:07.120
<v Speaker 7>What is the matter? I fix it up with the guy?

230
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:10.200
<v Speaker 7>Do I not? Who knows what will happen?

231
00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:14.240
<v Speaker 5>Now you are so right? Who knows what will happen?

232
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:20.600
<v Speaker 7>Well?

233
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:22.919
<v Speaker 4>Jake thinks it is very funny that he tells Miss

234
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:25.679
<v Speaker 4>Harriet Mikail that Bassil Valentine is a hot shot.

235
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:28.840
<v Speaker 5>Never does he imagine how this is going to affect

236
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:32.240
<v Speaker 5>him and Miss Midgie will do. But it does, and

237
00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:33.639
<v Speaker 5>in a very strange way.

238
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:37.120
<v Speaker 4>And how this happens starts one night in midday's when

239
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:39.559
<v Speaker 4>I am sitting there and Dave the dude comes over

240
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.360
<v Speaker 4>to me and says, I have.

241
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Been looking on for you, Brodwayne.

242
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:44.000
<v Speaker 9>Well here I am.

243
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:45.320
<v Speaker 5>What is on your mind, Dave?

244
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:49.039
<v Speaker 3>And what are you doing? Then after tomorrow, if all.

245
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:51.799
<v Speaker 5>Goes well, I will still be breathing and maybe sitting

246
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:52.240
<v Speaker 5>right here.

247
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.879
<v Speaker 3>Why when I go to a party, Nope, I ask

248
00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:59.399
<v Speaker 3>you to, I will be glad to good.

249
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:02.240
<v Speaker 9>Miss Harriett Mackiel is throwing one.

250
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:05.240
<v Speaker 4>Harriet Michael. I'll wait a minute, Dave, I belong there

251
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:06.440
<v Speaker 4>like I belong in the White House.

252
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:08.600
<v Speaker 3>A lot of your friends will be there, and Henry

253
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:11.080
<v Speaker 3>Harry Dohors, Mitsie the pale faced kid.

254
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:13.120
<v Speaker 5>Some of those citizens are so hot.

255
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:15.440
<v Speaker 4>It might be a farewell party before they leave on

256
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:17.399
<v Speaker 4>paid vacations at various institution.

257
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.080
<v Speaker 3>I know, but she thinks it is pretty cute to

258
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:21.519
<v Speaker 3>line up boys like that.

259
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:23.399
<v Speaker 9>It gives us something to talk about.

260
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:25.679
<v Speaker 5>Look, Dave, I would like to do you a favor and.

261
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.000
<v Speaker 3>Be there, But she is a good customer, and I

262
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:30.279
<v Speaker 3>would not like her to feel that my friends do

263
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:35.240
<v Speaker 3>not appreciate her hospitality. What time do I get there? Anytime?

264
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:35.679
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

265
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.200
<v Speaker 3>And by the way, yeah, where is Basil Valentine? I

266
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.840
<v Speaker 3>do not know what she wants him, especially and this

267
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.799
<v Speaker 3>I cannot figure. She'll be empty hers and rough citizens.

268
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:48.240
<v Speaker 3>So why does she want him?

269
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:51.799
<v Speaker 4>I think I know, Dave, this is going to be

270
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:58.679
<v Speaker 4>a very strange party. Indeed, and how right I am

271
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.559
<v Speaker 4>even I do not know what the time I say it. Furthermore,

272
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:03.360
<v Speaker 4>I do not wish to be at that party, but

273
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:05.399
<v Speaker 4>Dave is a very good friend of mine, and I

274
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.600
<v Speaker 4>like to do him favors, especially since he is likely

275
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:12.000
<v Speaker 4>to resent it if I refuse. So I go, and

276
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:16.200
<v Speaker 4>what happens there I will tell you in a minute.

277
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:36.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm now back to the Damon Runyan Theatre and the

278
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.519
<v Speaker 2>famous story social error.

279
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.240
<v Speaker 5>Like I say, I do not wish to offend Dave,

280
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:52.840
<v Speaker 5>would dude? So I show up at Miss.

281
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:55.960
<v Speaker 4>Harriet Macyl's fire, so do quite a few other sisters,

282
00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:57.080
<v Speaker 4>while not in Who's who?

283
00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:58.480
<v Speaker 7>But no, what's what?

284
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:02.200
<v Speaker 4>Especially if it is look, I am very surprised to

285
00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:05.399
<v Speaker 4>see Miss Midgie Modoma, So I ask him why she comes,

286
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:08.200
<v Speaker 4>and she says, as fun as Dave asked.

287
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:08.799
<v Speaker 6>Me to come Broadway.

288
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.120
<v Speaker 5>I always think you never associate with hot.

289
00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:13.960
<v Speaker 6>Shots, Migie, I don't, but Billy Dave's wife is a

290
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:15.879
<v Speaker 6>friend of mine. I couldn't say no.

291
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:19.480
<v Speaker 5>I guess you know Jack is gonna be here. Well,

292
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:23.360
<v Speaker 5>what if he is.

293
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:23.559
<v Speaker 6>Is he missed Mikile's latest?

294
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:25.159
<v Speaker 7>Well not exactly.

295
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:26.919
<v Speaker 6>I think he might like her.

296
00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:29.200
<v Speaker 4>If you will look at her now, you will see

297
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:32.120
<v Speaker 4>that she is more than somewhat interested in bad Basil.

298
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:34.879
<v Speaker 7>Who bad battle Basil. Now I'm bye.

299
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:35.960
<v Speaker 5>You're cuted.

300
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:38.399
<v Speaker 6>That's a man who always hangs around.

301
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:41.679
<v Speaker 5>Dave's layer, but now he is bad Buzzle. I don't

302
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:43.360
<v Speaker 5>understand what it is like this.

303
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:48.399
<v Speaker 7>Hello Broadway Gie, Oh Jack, excuse me Broadway. No wait

304
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:52.320
<v Speaker 7>a second, Mitgie, No look, why do you not give

305
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:52.840
<v Speaker 7>me a break?

306
00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:55.240
<v Speaker 6>Why don't you ask miss Mikiele for one?

307
00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:59.879
<v Speaker 7>I am asking you, don't. I do not mind you brush,

308
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:00.919
<v Speaker 7>but do not laugh.

309
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:05.440
<v Speaker 6>It's very funny, handsome Jack Madigan letting Basil Valentine beat

310
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:05.919
<v Speaker 6>his time.

311
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Huh ah.

312
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:12.200
<v Speaker 8>The joke is on you, Midgie. As a matter of fact,

313
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.519
<v Speaker 8>I fix it up. I tell him Mikyle Donald Basil

314
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.159
<v Speaker 8>is a number one tough citizen. She believes me, and

315
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.080
<v Speaker 8>then' I what sure? I give the guy a break?

316
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.200
<v Speaker 6>Aren't you the big humorist? Anything for a laugh? Oh?

317
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:26.679
<v Speaker 7>No way?

318
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.360
<v Speaker 6>That poor little guy thinks he's going big. What will

319
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:30.799
<v Speaker 6>happen to him when she finds out?

320
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:32.399
<v Speaker 7>Why should you be blessed?

321
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:34.039
<v Speaker 6>Because I think it's a miserable trick.

322
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:35.159
<v Speaker 7>It is a gas.

323
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:37.759
<v Speaker 6>Sooner or later she'll find out what he really is

324
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:39.559
<v Speaker 6>and the two of you can have a big laugh

325
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:39.879
<v Speaker 6>at it.

326
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:42.639
<v Speaker 7>Look, Miggie, I did not mean for this to spread

327
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.279
<v Speaker 7>so sick. How do I know that Dame is gonna swallow?

328
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.080
<v Speaker 6>But she did. Now I'll tell you something. At first

329
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:51.320
<v Speaker 6>I couldn't stand the side of you. Then I thought, well,

330
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:52.159
<v Speaker 6>maybe you might be.

331
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:52.799
<v Speaker 9>On a level.

332
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:55.679
<v Speaker 6>But this puts me right back where I.

333
00:15:56.039 --> 00:16:03.200
<v Speaker 7>Was with that.

334
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:06.080
<v Speaker 5>Midgie walks away and Jack looks after her like a

335
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:08.399
<v Speaker 5>dog that is lost. I know now that he is

336
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:09.039
<v Speaker 5>really level.

337
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:11.840
<v Speaker 4>Also, I know that he tips Basil to the gang,

338
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:14.360
<v Speaker 4>and this makes Basil happy because he.

339
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:16.519
<v Speaker 5>Figures that Mikyle Dow will now fall for it.

340
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:19.279
<v Speaker 4>The next thing I know, I hear Basil telling her

341
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:21.639
<v Speaker 4>how he knocks off ten hoods one weekend while he

342
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:23.720
<v Speaker 4>is on a pleasure trip, and I see she is

343
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:26.480
<v Speaker 4>looking at him with some respect. But in the meantime

344
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.320
<v Speaker 4>Jack is doing nothing but mooning a round. Then along

345
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.320
<v Speaker 4>about two am I am standing with Jack and the scene.

346
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:33.919
<v Speaker 5>Is as follows.

347
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:36.639
<v Speaker 7>Everybody has a good time, but.

348
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:39.120
<v Speaker 5>Me, Jack. I wish to ask you something, and I

349
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:42.600
<v Speaker 5>wish to hear the truth. You are really serious about midgie?

00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:08.079
<v Speaker 7>maybe I better go.

387
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:10.440
<v Speaker 3>I will pay call us Radder.

00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:13.319
<v Speaker 7>You are right. Hit my hand, that is all. There

00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:16.119

390
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:16.599
<v Speaker 5>Quiet?

391
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:22.480
<v Speaker 3>What happens here goes no fighter? Get it broad Way? Yeah, Dave,

392
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:26.480
<v Speaker 3>get the phone, call for my car. Sure you better

393
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:27.279
<v Speaker 3>be the jack.

394
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:28.559
<v Speaker 7>And look, Dave, I gotta.

395
00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:30.319
<v Speaker 6>Explain, Handsome Jack Madigan.

396
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:32.160
<v Speaker 7>Parlor tough guy, Magee.

397
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:35.039
<v Speaker 6>I wonder what else you'll think I have to impress people.

398
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:43.119
<v Speaker 4>Well, the little affair is hushed up because none of

399
00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:46.200
<v Speaker 4>the citizens there wish to answer questions, especially if they

400
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:49.440
<v Speaker 4>are asked by genders, and Miss Harriet Michiel is glad

401
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:51.720
<v Speaker 4>to listen to Day the dude because she does not

402
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:55.039
<v Speaker 4>wish the publicity. Red Henry is hustled a way, and

403
00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:57.079
<v Speaker 4>it turns out the shot in the hand is nothing

404
00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:59.559
<v Speaker 4>at all, because Jack is pretty fair with the rod

405
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:01.920
<v Speaker 4>just shoots the pistola out of Red's hand.

406
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:04.839
<v Speaker 5>However, he figures he is all washed up with Miss

407
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:05.680
<v Speaker 5>Midgie Muldoon.

408
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:08.799
<v Speaker 4>Then it is one night and I, Dave and Jack

409
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:11.599
<v Speaker 4>are sitting in Middy's when who comes up at Bassel

410
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:13.079
<v Speaker 4>Valentine and says.

411
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:17.480
<v Speaker 10>I'm very sorry to intrude, but I must speak to you.

412
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:21.119
<v Speaker 7>You look, you caused me enough trouble.

413
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:24.319
<v Speaker 10>I'm terribly sorry, but I've got to talk to you.

414
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:30.160
<v Speaker 9>I let him sit down. Jack thanks, How is bad?

415
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:31.400
<v Speaker 7>Basil him?

416
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:33.880
<v Speaker 9>Well, that's what I want to talk about, Carssel.

417
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:36.160
<v Speaker 5>Do you not tell Miss Harriet Mikaile the truth?

418
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:39.400
<v Speaker 7>No, I I've let her go on believing.

419
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:41.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm what you told her I was so what happens

420
00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:42.880
<v Speaker 3>when she finds out the truth?

421
00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:46.440
<v Speaker 7>I asked her her to marry me, and she said

422
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:46.880
<v Speaker 7>she would.

423
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:48.480
<v Speaker 9>What you are kidding?

424
00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:51.960
<v Speaker 7>Oh, you have but she she wants me to.

425
00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:54.519
<v Speaker 10>Correct something before we go away to be married.

426
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:55.319
<v Speaker 9>Come like something?

427
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:55.920
<v Speaker 6>What?

428
00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:56.759
<v Speaker 7>She?

429
00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:00.839
<v Speaker 10>She says that Jack committed a socially when he shot

430
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:03.480
<v Speaker 10>Red Henry the other night. Jack, you you've got to

431
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:05.039
<v Speaker 10>let me do something about it. If you don't know,

432
00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:06.359
<v Speaker 10>I'll lose her.

433
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:10.039
<v Speaker 7>Okay. I will go to her and say you made

434
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:11.960
<v Speaker 7>me apologizeal but that's not enough.

435
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:15.599
<v Speaker 10>I have to strike you or something.

436
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:21.839
<v Speaker 7>Okay, strike me, but in front of her, Basil? What Dave?

437
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:24.119

00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:31.960
<v Speaker 7>I love her that much.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you will get over it.

00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:06.799
<v Speaker 10>Oh no, no, I I might hit you.

452
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:08.920
<v Speaker 7>Not with blanks in the gun.

453
00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:11.519
<v Speaker 10>You'll really do this for me?

454
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:13.440
<v Speaker 7>Sure? Why not?

455
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:15.880
<v Speaker 10>I'll never forget it, Jae.

456
00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:22.559
<v Speaker 7>Go now beat it, God, get yourself a gun with blanks.

457
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:23.039
<v Speaker 5>Right away, Jack?

458
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:23.920
<v Speaker 10>Right away?

<v Speaker 9>Well, well, well, how do you like this what gets

460
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:28.400

<v Speaker 3>Jack?

00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:34.400
<v Speaker 7>All? Maybe maybe I know just how the little guy feels.

463
00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:42.799
<v Speaker 4>At first, Dave is more than somewhat concerned about the

464
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:44.920
<v Speaker 4>whole thing, but then he begins to get a kick

465
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:47.599
<v Speaker 4>on it. It seems that Jack will fall down like

466
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:50.640
<v Speaker 4>you's here, Vasil will leave with Miss Harriet Michael, and

467
00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:54.000
<v Speaker 4>everything will be fine. But as they say in books,

468
00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:56.279
<v Speaker 4>quite a few things are liable to go.

469
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:59.920
<v Speaker 5>Wrong, and often do. Now I and Dave tell nobody

470
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:02.440
<v Speaker 5>about this arrangement, and it comes up two nights.

471
00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:03.680
<v Speaker 9>Later that we are in the hot box.

472
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:06.440
<v Speaker 4>The only citizens there are those we know, and this

473
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:10.079
<v Speaker 4>includes Miss Mitchie muldoon I and Jack and Dave are

474
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:11.640
<v Speaker 4>waiting and the scene is.

475
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:12.559
<v Speaker 9>As fun as now.

476
00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:14.480
<v Speaker 3>You are sure everything is all right?

477
00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:17.200
<v Speaker 7>Chair? Sure? Sure? I get in touch with Basil. This morning.

478
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:20.119
<v Speaker 7>He is bringing the dame here. I am standing here

479
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:21.119
<v Speaker 7>with my back to the door.

480
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:23.480
<v Speaker 4>You know, something tells me I would not trust that

481
00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:26.359
<v Speaker 4>little guy with a dud firecracker, much less a rascals.

482
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:27.759
<v Speaker 7>Stop worrying, Will you.

483
00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Can't get bunny?

484
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:29.720
<v Speaker 9>Chance? Here they come.

485
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:31.440
<v Speaker 5>But it's all the same to you. I will step

486
00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:32.160
<v Speaker 5>back out of the way.

487
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:33.880
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, go ahead, Here he comes.

488
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:35.400
<v Speaker 7>The muzzle of the gun he.

489
00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:37.000
<v Speaker 5>Is holding is going in circles.

490
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:42.240
<v Speaker 7>Adan, Yeah, turn around. I do not want to shoot

491
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:44.720
<v Speaker 7>you in the back. Oh, hey, do not shoot me,

492

<v Speaker 7>bad basil, you've made your last social era. Look, give

496
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:10.440
<v Speaker 7>stepped in front of me.

497
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:15.480
<v Speaker 10>Please, she did what happened by this?

498
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:19.880
<v Speaker 7>Don't let me see that. Where did you get this? Well?

499
00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:21.119
<v Speaker 7>I didn't have a gun.

500
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:26.319
<v Speaker 10>I borrowed this one from Red Henny Red Henry Red

501
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:27.599
<v Speaker 10>loaded it with blanks.

502
00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:30.400
<v Speaker 7>I saw him. He thought it was a big joke.

503
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:31.680
<v Speaker 7>Going to help me.

504
00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:35.079
<v Speaker 3>He pulled the switch. My luck. You'll get out of here.

505
00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:37.319
<v Speaker 9>Go on, what the girl, We'll take care of that,

506
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:41.319
<v Speaker 9>and you, miss Mikyle maybe and I got.

507
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:42.200
<v Speaker 3>Enough of being cured.

508
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:43.759
<v Speaker 7>I didn't think he'd do it, but I did.

509
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:46.480
<v Speaker 3>Now get out, and if you ever come in this

510
00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:48.839
<v Speaker 3>place again, I will patiently escort you through.

511
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:49.759
<v Speaker 9>The door on the end of my foot.

512
00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:52.240
<v Speaker 7>But we better go, Harriet.

513
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:55.519
<v Speaker 10>And and I've got something to tell you, Migie.

514
00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:57.000
<v Speaker 5>We have got to get you to a hospital.

515
00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:02.920
<v Speaker 6>I'll be all right, Jack, you.

516
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:10.519
<v Speaker 7>You're not hurt. He stepped in front of me. Why

517
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:11.000
<v Speaker 7>met you?

518
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:17.319
<v Speaker 6>Why I held out as long as I could.

519
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:29.160
<v Speaker 4>Well, Midgie is only hitting the shoulder and turns out okay,

520
00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:33.000
<v Speaker 4>and Dave fixes it, so everything is smooth over. Of course,

521
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:35.160
<v Speaker 4>no one is more surprised than Jack when he finds

522
00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:36.519
<v Speaker 4>out that Midgie is in love with him.

523
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:39.359
<v Speaker 5>However, that is not the end of the story. The

524
00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:42.279
<v Speaker 5>payoff comes later, and what it is I will.

525
00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Tell you in a minute.

526
00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:10.680
<v Speaker 5>It is a month after little party at the hot Box.

527
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:12.880
<v Speaker 4>That I am sitting at Middy's enjoying some marinate of

528
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:15.359
<v Speaker 4>herring when I am joined by Dave, the dude, who

529
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:17.880
<v Speaker 4>sits down and watches me for a minute and then

530
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:22.079
<v Speaker 4>says nice sweating, Oh oh, Jack, And Midgie's Yeah, it

531
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:23.400
<v Speaker 4>is very nice.

532
00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:24.720
<v Speaker 5>They make a fine couple.

533
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:28.559
<v Speaker 3>Well is a good boy. She talks him into going legitimate.

534
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:31.319
<v Speaker 4>Well, he's in love. We have got to make allowances

535
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:33.480
<v Speaker 4>for that. It is very funny that we do not

536
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:36.039
<v Speaker 4>hear from Basil Valentine and the Mikayal day Oh.

537
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:38.279
<v Speaker 9>I almost forgot that they get married too.

538
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:41.240
<v Speaker 4>She marries him, but she finds out about the whole thing,

539
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:43.079
<v Speaker 4>and he is far from being a tough citizen.

540
00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:45.720
<v Speaker 3>She is selling relieved to find out that Dazzle is

541
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:48.440
<v Speaker 3>not tough and is not apt to go around shooting people.

542
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:51.519
<v Speaker 3>That she marries him. However, she takes no chances like

543
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:54.480
<v Speaker 3>what it seems. She will not allow him to associate

544
00:25:54.599 --> 00:25:57.480
<v Speaker 3>with anybody over ten years of age, and she will

545
00:25:57.519 --> 00:25:59.759
<v Speaker 3>not allow him to hold anything more dangerous than a

546
00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:00.319
<v Speaker 3>new black.

547
00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:17.680
<v Speaker 2>And so ends the famous Damon Runyon story Social Error,
