My car is right here.
Speaker 7: Look, if you don't get out of here.
Speaker 5: You call a cop. Yes, I just go to prove
what a small world this is?
Speaker 7: What are you talking about?
Speaker 4: I'm Sergeant car but New York Homicide. So I wonder
if I can impose upon you to take a little
ride with me down the headquarters starting up Kelly. Ever
heard of a man named Mickey Slater?
Speaker 5: No man?
Speaker 4: He was finally done in some three hours and Moore
bullets ago. Now, yeah, I'd love to, but I hate
loitering on street corners this way till we get downtown.
I'm James. Hello, is your radio line, sir? What what
program are you listening to?
Speaker 5: Them?
Speaker 1: Who is this?
Speaker 6: Ah? You know, Mike, just trying to pad your pine.
Speaker 2: Listen, sergeant, do you realize it's four o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 6: You slow, it's five after What do you want me?
Speaker 5: Not a thing?
Speaker 6: But we're holding a little lady who's entire need of
your services. The name is Laura Davis.
Speaker 3: Never heard of it John Nichols, widow real estate king.
Speaker 6: Yes, she'll pay plenty.
Speaker 4: What's she alleged to have done? That's what I love
about you, Mike, yourself proper? What's she a last to
have done? There's nothing a less about it. She killed
a boy named Mickey Slater.
Speaker 1: I don't believe it.
Speaker 4: You don't know the woman, you don't know the victim,
but you don't believe it. What does it take to
convince you?
Speaker 5: Anyhow?
Speaker 2: A lot more than you can offers argent? Now, missus Davis,
I'm on my way.
Speaker 3: This is n't hurlgie again. Friends, Well, it looks like
Mike won't be convinced by Sergeant Corvett.
Speaker 6: No, he wants to find out for himself.
Speaker 1: And that's a good idea.
Speaker 3: For example, if you'd like to find out for yourself,
how delicious and wonderfully helpful a good cheese sauce can be.
You just try this melt Belvita Craft's famous pasteurized processed
cheese food, or the smoothest golden sauce you ever saw
one that's perfect over vegetables or to combine with leftovers
for a hearty maintage. It's a wonderful easy sauce to make.
You just melt a half pound of Velvita in the
top of your double boiler.
Speaker 1: You don't have to cut it into little.
Speaker 3: Pieces because bell Beta melts so easily, so smoothly. Then
stir in a quarter a cup of milk season to
suit your taste, and you will have the best tasting
cheese sauce you ever put a fork into. Belvita has
such a fine, rich, yet mild cheddar cheese flavor, and
it's mighty nourishing too, because Velvita is rich in important
food values from milk, so even the smallest youngsters can
enjoy it. Often find out for yourself what a wonderfully
handy helper Belvita can be, whether you melt it for
this grand cheese sauce or slice it thick for hearty sandwiches.
Get a two pound loaf of Belvita tomorrow. It's America's
favorite past your eyes, processed cheese food, the one and
only Belvita. Now back to the adventure resolved the Falcon

like Emily Post.
Speaker 4: As the Davis may I present Mike Wearing otherwise known
as the Falcon, the nemesis of the underworld. You mean
that he is in a disgusting Just ignore him, missus Davis.
Speaker 1: His mother was frightened by Joe Miller, as I can
believe it.
Speaker 7: How soon do you get me out of here?
Speaker 4: Well, there are certain minor technicalities we have to approve.
Speaker 1: You see, the police believe you killed Mickey Slater. That's ridiculous.
So we both know that. But to go fight city Hall?
How well did you know him anyway?
Speaker 7: I didn't know him at all.
Speaker 6: And what we were doing at his hotel?
Speaker 7: Did I was there?
Speaker 1: That's clerk for one, all right? I lied nice to you.
Speaker 7: I can hardly do anything else, Sergeant. I was at
the Pembroke, but when I got there, Mickey was dead.
Speaker 4: What did you want with him anyway, I'd rather not
go into that.
Speaker 1: You don't have any choice?
Speaker 7: Law, Well, couldn't we?
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, yes, we certainly could.
Speaker 4: A sergeant, do you think you could arrange for us
to have a little privacy in a level or would
you stop being such a character? Okay, you don't have
to push if you want anything, Folks, just ring. We
pride ourselves on our purpose.
Speaker 6: Oh right, missus Davis, Now let's have it.
