Speaker 4: And now for tonight.
Speaker 2: There are certain conditions under which it becomes necessary to
Speaker 2: call the police. Some people abuse the privilege and call
Speaker 2: wolf constantly on any.
Speaker 3: Pretext, and some people don't want any trouble, and in
Speaker 3: trying to prevent there being any trouble, they hesitate making
Speaker 3: a positive action like calling the police.
Speaker 4: And that, very briefly is what is going to happen tonight.
Speaker 3: The story is called Eddie, and it was written by E.
Speaker 5: Jack Newman.
Speaker 3: Seeing a street, a car parked at the curb in
Speaker 3: front of a cafeteria.
Speaker 5: In the car a young man smoking a cigarette.
Speaker 3: As the clock on the dashboard of the car passes nine,
Speaker 3: The door of the cafeteria opens and a young lady
Speaker 3: walks out into the street, looks around for a minute,
Speaker 3: and then starts to walk towards the bus station at
Speaker 3: the corner.
Speaker 4: Hey, hey, Melvia over here? What here? Melva over here?

Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure of yourself, aren't you.

Speaker 3: I've seen you in the cafeteria three or four times
Speaker 3: this week. Every time you came by my checkstand.
Speaker 5: You had some remark to make. You found out my name.
Speaker 5: I don't know how.
Speaker 3: And now you waited for me to get off work tonight.
Speaker 3: You got me in your car and you think the
Speaker 3: whole thing settled. Let me tell you what you think
Speaker 3: is gonna happen isn't going to happen.
Speaker 5: At all, Not on your life.
Speaker 4: Oh sir, Oh no, you got it all over.
Speaker 3: I don't think for one minute that I'd be sitting here,
Speaker 3: You're in this car with you for any other reason
Speaker 3: than that I.
Speaker 5: I had a hard day and I can use alyft home.
Speaker 4: Well, I guess you got me squared away.
Speaker 7: Huh uh huh.
Speaker 4: But I still wanna take you out? Where we go?
Speaker 5: What is it with you anyw we.
Speaker 4: It's just that I got a surprise for you, Melva.
Speaker 3: Uh oh no, oh, no, you haven't, big boy. You
Speaker 3: may think you have, but you haven't, not on your life, honest.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no.
Speaker 2: Surre, Oh no, seriously. Today I told a couple of
Speaker 2: people that you were my girl. I told him you
Speaker 2: and me got along just fine, and that we'd meet
Speaker 2: him later on this evening and had some fun.
Speaker 4: What do you think of that?
Speaker 5: I think you're crazy? What do you think of that?
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know you from that signboard over there,
Speaker 3: and you don't know me.
Speaker 5: How do you know I'm not married?
Speaker 4: No rings? Oh yeah, let me see your hand?
Speaker 5: Keep driving, Melva.
Speaker 2: What I found out your name by taking a table
Speaker 2: right near the railing and listening for that boss of
Speaker 2: yours when he talked to you. If I made cracks
Speaker 2: at you, I was only trying to get you to
Speaker 2: notice me. And I was out front waiting for you
Speaker 2: this evening because I asked a bus boy and he
Speaker 2: told me you got off at nine.
Speaker 4: Now that's a little trouble to go to just to
Speaker 4: get a brush off.
Speaker 5: That's the way it goes.
Speaker 2: I even rented this car, put on my best suit.
Speaker 2: Now what's the guy supposed to do when he sees
Speaker 2: a girl he'd like to meet.
Speaker 4: No, what's he gonna do? Pass her up?
Speaker 2: Because nobody's around to introduce him.
Speaker 5: You don't look like the kind who ever passed anybody.
Speaker 2: I wanted to know you, Melvia. I went at it
Speaker 2: the only way I could think of. Now that's the
Speaker 2: whole story.
Speaker 5: You're a pretty good talker, Eddy, I try it being
Speaker 5: I'm gonna tell you something. Yeah, I could probably like you.
Speaker 3: You look nice enough, you seemed to be along okay,
Speaker 3: But I wouldn't let myself like you because I see
Speaker 3: something else.
Speaker 4: What's that?
Speaker 3: I don't think you're any good. I just don't think
Speaker 3: you're any good at all.
Speaker 4: I suppose you've used that on a few other guys
Speaker 4: in your time.
Speaker 5: I suppose I have.
Speaker 3: I always meant it when I said it.
Speaker 5: Slow down, Uh Robin, right have there?
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah? Sure? Uh, good night?
Speaker 5: Thanks the right?
Speaker 4: Oh white mother? Or what I wanna talk to you?
Speaker 5: Oh? No, you certainly are good.
Speaker 4: No, let's side listen. I feel in your direction.
Speaker 2: I wanted to see you tonight and have you meet
Speaker 2: my friends because I've been in this town four weeks now,
Speaker 2: and I don't know one girl. I'd like to know you.
Speaker 2: If you won't go out with me tonight. That's okay.
Speaker 2: Maybe you'll go out with me some other night. That's
Speaker 2: up to you, you know. Uh right now, I i'd
Speaker 2: like to have you kiss.
Speaker 4: Me like you meant it.
Speaker 5: Are you kidding? Thanks to the lift? Good night?
Speaker 4: Oh Melvi, I went and got you some flowers.
Speaker 5: Well, i'll be dark here for you. I don't want
Speaker 5: your flowers. What's the matter with you? I said goodbye

Speaker 3: Can't you get it through your head. It doesn't make
Speaker 3: any difference, no difference at all. Now, now, will you please?
Speaker 3: That's probably the manager complaining about the noise.
Speaker 4: Gosh, I didn't mean to make any noise.
Speaker 3: Hello, yes, missus Robin, Yes, of course, and I'm terribly sorry. Yes,
Speaker 3: good night. That was the manager and she's had a

Speaker 5: I want you Melvi come here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now, I'm gonna tell you once and for a while. No,
Speaker 3: I should never have let you drive me home tonight,
Speaker 3: but I I was so tired. I didn't like the
Speaker 3: idea of standing up on a bus all the way here.
Speaker 3: That's all there was to it. I'm sure there are
Speaker 3: eighteen hundred girls around this town or just dying for
Speaker 3: somebody like you to come along in a night like this.
Speaker 3: Why did you go find a bar somewhere? Have your
Speaker 3: suffered bring and look things over. You'll find somebody and
Speaker 3: then you can meet your friends.
Speaker 4: It's a pretty nice apartment, Melvin, and I.
Speaker 5: Don't want you in it. Go home now, couldn't now.
Speaker 4: I don't suppose you have a bottle of beer or
Speaker 4: something around.
Speaker 3: I don't suppose I have. Go on, now, I'm getting angry.
Speaker 4: Now I haven't done anything.
Speaker 3: When you've made a pest of yourself already, you're just
Speaker 3: there's the manager again. Well, yes, missus, Robin y, Yes,
Speaker 3: he he's leaving right now.
Speaker 5: I know the rules.
Speaker 3: Good night. Now, now you get out of here just
Speaker 3: as best as you can. You really really mean it.
Speaker 5: Now, go on, go on? How about tomorrow?
Speaker 3: No, no, not tomorrow, or the next day or the
Speaker 3: day after that. Now listen, I'll call the police if
Speaker 3: you don't leave right now.
Speaker 4: I'll leave, Melville. I'll leave. Don't worry. You won't have
Speaker 4: to call any police.
Speaker 5: Well, then go when.
Speaker 4: I get good and ready, that's where i'll go. I
Speaker 4: kind of like it here.
Speaker 5: We'll see about that. I want the police.
Speaker 4: I'll make an awful ruckus around here.

Speaker 3: you just wait.
Speaker 4: You don't wanna do that?
Speaker 5: Don't die, Oh, don't die.
