Speaker 7: cut Through A Cuthbert Alius screw and Lewis, mister Stephens, Andy,
Speaker 7: it is always so.
Speaker 2: Cheerful and so pleasant.
Speaker 4: Well, that's where it is with the school in Lewis,
Speaker 4: when Melody is just as normal as we is.

Speaker 8: What should I do?
Speaker 5: Not?
Speaker 4: Surely you don't want to mention this the newbody.

Speaker 7: up and just tell him that you has changed your mind,
Speaker 7: tell him that you never want to see him again,
Speaker 7: and all that stuff.
Speaker 2: I do that, I do that right away. But mister Stevens,
Speaker 2: don't you think.
Speaker 7: I will call up the police.
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no, don't do that.

Speaker 5: Well, amos, I think I was out of the woods
Speaker 5: for a while with the kingfish telling missus Thompson that
Speaker 5: story about me being the trunk murderer.
Speaker 2: She doesn't call the whole wedding off.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well that was the stupid thing to do. Uh,
Speaker 7: why can't you explain the truth to the woman?
Speaker 2: Oh listen, amos.
Speaker 5: When a woman done and fired all the relatives, hired
Speaker 5: the preacher and bought the wedding gown.
Speaker 2: That ain't no time to test her sense of humor.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but he is down to find out that you
Speaker 7: ain't no trunk murderer. What is she gonna do?
Speaker 4: Then?
Speaker 5: Well I think about that too, amos. And I unpacked
Speaker 5: my things this morning. I'm getting out of town for
Speaker 5: about a month.
Speaker 2: So this whole thing blows over and this is a myth.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the Kingfish is helping me too. He's checking
Speaker 2: my stuff at distinction. Now you see, I'm doing this
Speaker 2: whole thing on the QT doing Missus Thompson. No, I'm
Speaker 2: leaving town land.

Speaker 7: the way.
Speaker 2: You does with gel. Oh yeah, amos, look what lover's
Speaker 2: done to me.

Speaker 5: his throat. I got all my things from a room here,
Speaker 5: done paid the landlord and King Peace took my trunk
Speaker 5: and stuff down to the station.

Speaker 17: Thompson saying something about you being under suspicion as a
Speaker 17: trunk murderer.
Speaker 2: Oh that, no, sir, that's just a story a friend
Speaker 2: of mine made up. Ha ha. That's kind of a joke.

Speaker 17: sure you're on the level here.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, sir, I ain't no truck murder. I don't
Speaker 2: know nothing about no trunks. Oh, I tell you, mister,
