Speaker 1: tunnel the angry Eagle.
Speaker 3: Get this and get it straight. Crime is a sucker's road.
Speaker 3: Those who travel had wind up in a gut out
Speaker 3: the prison of the grave. This time I was in
Speaker 3: the country where the knight should have been nothing but
Speaker 3: peace and quiet. But a pair of angry eagles changed
Speaker 3: all that. One was solid golden, too close to a
Speaker 3: betted copse. The other weigh one hundred and sixty pounds
Speaker 3: and was too quick with his fists.
Speaker 4: It happened like this.
Speaker 5: From the pett of Raymond tranver Outspending, author of crime fiction,
Speaker 5: comes his most famous character in the Adventures of Philip
Speaker 5: Marlowe Now with Gerald Moore starred as Philip Marlowe. We
Speaker 5: bring you tonight's exciting story The Gray Eagles.
Speaker 4: Hello, this is.
Speaker 2: Philip marlow Please clover Lake, California calling.
Speaker 4: This is marlow on your loss.
Speaker 6: Please Hello Malo, Babe Jurney remember me light heavy contender
Speaker 6: in thirty nine?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, sure, I remember you. You still at that
Speaker 3: bar in Southgate.
Speaker 6: No, no, I'm back in the game trainer, this time
Speaker 6: for wellerweight.
Speaker 4: That's good.
Speaker 6: His name is Danny Eagley. He's another Barney Rock, believe me.
Speaker 4: Oh kidding, Yeah, but he's in trouble.
Speaker 6: Come on out where you feel. Clover Lake's only twenty miles.
Speaker 6: You can be here by six, just outside of Malibu,
Speaker 6: up on the hill.
Speaker 4: What's your boy's trouble? Baby plenty?
Speaker 6: And it could end up being his life. Not step
Speaker 6: on it film. Oh and listen, you're a sports writer
Speaker 6: from Detroit, not a private detective.
Speaker 3: You got it, got it, leave it now, babe. It
Speaker 3: was an hour's drive the Malibu Beach in a film
Speaker 3: colony where the convertibles out numbered the hot tops five
Speaker 3: to one, and another thirty minutes up into the mountains
Speaker 3: along a steep spiral of the cat on which at
Speaker 3: every turn made more of the Pacific below and less of.
Speaker 4: Malibu, until finally I was at the top.
Speaker 3: My right there was a dirt road which a freshly
Speaker 3: painted sign said led to Clover Lake Training Camp, Private
Speaker 3: Raleigh Lance owner. I drove on into what turned out
Speaker 3: to be a converted summer hotel marked office, A couple
Speaker 3: of buildings that had been stables, and maybe two dozen
Speaker 3: cabins spread out over a sloping green acre that led
Speaker 3: to a cliff's age in the lake some hundred feet below.
Speaker 3: When I pulled in and parked in a gravel semi
Speaker 3: circle which was close to a roofover boxing ring where
Speaker 3: a lot of mussels and sweatpants was making a punching
Speaker 3: bag sound.
Speaker 4: Like a machine gun.
Speaker 3: I saw a Babe Dirney coming taught me in ducks
Speaker 3: and white T shirt with an angry fighting eagle.
Speaker 4: As in Danny.
Speaker 3: It was more a bay window and less hair. Yeah
Speaker 3: the last time, but still the same quick smile under
Speaker 3: her nose that spread over half his face and extended hands.
Speaker 4: He could have passed for a catches made a feeling
Speaker 4: he didn't take any longer. Things are worse, Oh, Danny
Speaker 4: got canned and now are gone. He's burn enough. Told
Speaker 4: Lance and his wife where they both could go, and
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna personally see to it that they
Speaker 4: get it. I wait a minute, Wait a minute, who's
Speaker 4: this Lance? Oh Raley? Lance? He runs this place model
Speaker 4: strictly the big time, big shot managers see that. The
Speaker 4: fight says to be a one whose license plate the
Speaker 4: lowest number you can get? Yeah, half point in French
Speaker 4: cups and build up heels. It's got ten fighters here,
Speaker 4: Danny's won. And the wife, Oh yeah, maira a lot
Speaker 4: of curves, a lot of wall paint, and never enough
Speaker 4: clothes on, know what I mean? Well, also not much
Speaker 4: to keep her busy. And Lance hasn't got time to
Speaker 4: run around on in Malibu, which means sheep sized the boys.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, Danny Eagle included not to the kid ever
Speaker 4: did anything about it? Mind? You figured you were just
Speaker 4: being friendly. Come on, let's move on down to the
Speaker 4: lake like I was just showing you around, Hey, Jersey,
Speaker 4: Yeah you can quit. Now do a mile in the shower. Okay, anyhow, Phil,
Speaker 4: this morning, Lance and the missus head of Beef. When
Speaker 4: the big shot got mad, Red Mira off and called
Speaker 4: Danny and tried the same thing on him. Didn't take no,
Speaker 4: so the boss candom The kid went back to his
Speaker 4: cabin and started kicking the fixtures around. It's what I
Speaker 4: called you got a lot of temper fill. Yeah, but
Speaker 4: what do you want me to do? Help me get
Speaker 4: him out of here? Before he tangled with Lance, he
Speaker 4: said he wasn't gonna get off the ground still. Things
Speaker 4: were squared away, and I'll hold it right now over
Speaker 4: there near the edge of the cliff. Friend of Lance's
Speaker 4: just Weatherwax. Was that old man. Yeah, he hay seed

Speaker 8: hard to understand this. I dropped ten grands, ten thousand berries.

Speaker 8: I'm not very happy.
Speaker 2: So you want a fighter who stings.
Speaker 9: What that got to do with me?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 8: But if you'd let him alone, he wouldn't look so
Speaker 8: tired in there.
Speaker 2: All the cheap cracks you've ever made, that's about the
Speaker 2: Why go on say it. You never fled it, you
Speaker 2: never played up to You were only being friendly.

Speaker 4: No? Big?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 4: And he stopped me.
Speaker 10: Mister Lance said he give Danny the word hisself, that
Speaker 10: he could handle him.
Speaker 8: That who does he think he is?
Speaker 10: He said, he just didn't want trouble, mister Lance. Besides,
Speaker 10: he said Danny was taking a walk. Yeah, well, I'm
Speaker 10: going to give him the too. I've got enough on

Speaker 8: catch best cigar made, let's.
Speaker 4: Okay, best cigary seat smart day one.
Speaker 9: Yeah, hey, huh, don't go away mad. My hobby always
Speaker 9: runs out on people.
Speaker 2: Even private detectives, slip sid busy, even knight. Indeed, I
Speaker 2: made it up. I never even heard of Detroit.
Speaker 4: Why did you beat the trap.
Speaker 2: Lands? The jealous jerk is threatened to hire a detective a.
Speaker 11: Half a dozen times. Uh, after all this fuss over
Speaker 11: Danny Eagle, you were about due.
Speaker 2: Well shall we walk? It's a nice night.
Speaker 4: Let's leave it that way. Eh, what do you mean,
Speaker 4: isn't Danny enough for one day?
Speaker 11: Listen, mister, you're starting off with two left feet. I
Speaker 11: was friendly with Danny Eagle period, the same, only Steve
Speaker 11: was a little dull, a mind dedicated to comic books.
Speaker 4: All fighter not according to his last above.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rocco moved like he was drugged and collapsed in
Speaker 2: a third. So it's my fault. Oh, the big shot
Speaker 2: is quite a loser. And don't bother with your next question.
Speaker 2: I can feel it coming. Why have I stuck?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well it belongs here someplace.
Speaker 2: Well, I've stuck because well, because I thought that each
Speaker 2: battle was going to be out last It's sooner or
Speaker 2: later he'd have time for me.
Speaker 4: It's a busy guy.
Speaker 11: So it was King Solomon, but he always had room
Speaker 11: for his wife. I thought this place was going to
Speaker 11: be our answer, just the two of us plus the
Speaker 11: peace and cry of the country was malleble on hand.
Speaker 2: For a change of pace. So what happens?
Speaker 4: Still busy? Huh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so busy.
Speaker 11: It spends eight hours a day with Jess Witherwax the
Speaker 11: guy never heard of until he started this camp, but
Speaker 11: a guy who thrills to the lives and loves of
Speaker 11: Rodiy Lamp. And that leaves me with his daughter, Clementine.
Speaker 11: If I don't talk to the fighters. Clementine, whose shoes
Speaker 11: are number nine with an iQue to match.
Speaker 2: Good Night.
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, Admira, where are you going?
Speaker 2: Going as far as my cabin?
Speaker 11: And an old fashioned cry or maybe just an old
Speaker 11: fashion I don't know which.
Speaker 2: Good Night, ad.
Speaker 4: Myra pivoted on a spiked heel and stopped off. Unto
Speaker 4: the dog.
Speaker 3: I knew that I had to move fast, because when
Speaker 3: next she and Hubby met, the fact that I was
Speaker 3: a private detective was going to become public domain, and
Speaker 3: from there on out I'd be of little use to
Speaker 3: Babe Derney, and if Lance's muscle playmates caught up to me,
Speaker 3: of no use to anybody. I located Danny Eagle's cabin
Speaker 3: among half a dozen others, peeking out of a thick
Speaker 3: grove of pepper trees, showing light from a half open door.
Speaker 4: Hey, anybody home?
Speaker 3: Inside there was a closed valise on the edge of
Speaker 3: the only bed, and on the dress of some money,
Speaker 3: a package of lemon life savers in a thigh class,
Speaker 3: a gold one with a gold angry eagle on it
Speaker 3: that said Danny was still around.
Speaker 4: Then he got the top for himself. I think you're
Speaker 4: in the wrong cabins. I haven't takated yet. Well, don't
Speaker 4: you think it easy all the way around? If you
Speaker 4: did Danny?
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 4: I'm not looking for the easy way, mister. I've been
Speaker 4: walking and thinking about that. That and a pair of people.
Speaker 2: I don't like a pair.
Speaker 4: I want to square myself with mister and missus Rawleigh Lance. Oh.
Speaker 3: It was purely a case of mistaken identity, but it
Speaker 3: served as a reminder that it still took two to
Speaker 3: make a fight. The only chance I had left was
Speaker 3: to get next to Raleigh Lance and keep him away
Speaker 3: from Dan Eagle. I spent a half hour going from
Speaker 3: the lodge to Lance's empty cabin, of the dining room,
Speaker 3: and every other place where I thought he might be. Finally,
Speaker 3: I remember Jess Weatherwax, the one man fan Club, whom
Speaker 3: I located back up at the office.
Speaker 4: Hell it was peeling off his coat and getting ready
Speaker 4: for Canasta.
Speaker 3: Was something uncombed and built like a length of pipe.
Speaker 3: Who had to be daughter Clementine.
Speaker 4: What can I do? Mister Weatherwax? Have you seen Lance?
Speaker 8: I know, missus Marlow we just came in you deals
Speaker 8: is important?
Speaker 4: Very Oh?
Speaker 7: Excuse me child, mister Marlow My daughter, Clementine, how.
Speaker 4: Do you do?
Speaker 2: Very fine? Thank you, mister Marlow. Oh's babe Gurney.
Speaker 4: Excuse me, Phil, come with me quick. What's wrong? Lances?
Speaker 4: Did mar twise at the edge of the lake on
Speaker 4: the rocks accident? I don't know. Come on, Phil, in
Speaker 4: just a moment.
Speaker 5: The second act of Philip Marlowe, But first, the confusion
Speaker 5: created by Gracy Allen has never been more clearly, more
Speaker 5: hilariously defined that it will be this Wednesday night, when
Speaker 5: a writer for a national magazine comes to interviewer for
Speaker 5: the writer also meets some of Gracie's friends who present
Speaker 5: highly conflicting stories which Gracie does not untangle. It's another
Speaker 5: merry mad mix up which could come only from George
Speaker 5: Burns and Gracy Allen. So be listening this Wednesday on
Speaker 5: most of these same CBS stations now with our star
Speaker 5: Gerald Moore, the second act of Philip Marlowe and Tonight's
Speaker 5: story The Angry Eagle.
Speaker 3: Shop Lake Show of stones like countless fighters. Fistsit hamm
Speaker 3: and all alight out of rolley. Lance and as we
Speaker 3: stared down at in the circle of light from the
Speaker 3: electric land and Dave Jerney's hand began to dance over
Speaker 3: the cops. I took the land and turned him away
Speaker 3: from the twisted body at his feet, and sent a
Speaker 3: back of the path to camp, find a phone and
Speaker 3: quietly call the police.
Speaker 4: After that, I took another quick look at all that
Speaker 4: was left to the little big shot.
Speaker 3: I went up the path myself and got as far
Speaker 3: as the jagged hole in the rail where Lance had
Speaker 3: gone through, just enough time to see a few things
Speaker 3: before I was met by Myra, just like she'd been before,
Speaker 3: except for a handful of nervous fingers that just couldn't
Speaker 3: leave her neck line alone.
Speaker 2: I saw a baby tell me about Raleigh. Is the truth?
Speaker 4: It's true? All right? Your husband's dead. They've just left.
Speaker 4: So you must have been on your way here when
Speaker 4: you ran into him.
Speaker 2: How come I had a date to meet my husband
Speaker 2: for a check?
Speaker 4: Why here? He didn't strike me as being the romatic type.
Speaker 2: He wasn't. Neither was he the type to talk where
Speaker 2: he could be overheard, especially when he was cornered.
Speaker 4: What do you mean?
Speaker 2: I put Raleigh's back against the wall to night.
Speaker 11: I finally got hold of a way to make that
Speaker 11: inflated ego turn loose, his favorite trinket, meaning you yes.
Speaker 4: Allow.
Speaker 2: About an hour ago I found out that Raleigh was crooked.
Speaker 4: Fist fight.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 11: When I left you off, I went to our cabin
Speaker 11: for a drink, but the liquor was all gone. Plants
Speaker 11: kept spare bottles in the back of his closet.
Speaker 4: So I went to look.
Speaker 2: Fun what a briefcase? Wasn't Raleigh? So I opened it.
Speaker 11: There was thirty five thousand dollars in it and a
Speaker 11: note congratulating him on his coaching of Steve Rocker. Rocer
Speaker 11: was drugged in that last fight Marlow. Raleigh sold him
Speaker 11: out and I can prove it.
Speaker 3: Oh that's what you two were going to hash out
Speaker 3: over here. Huh the price of your silence, which was
Speaker 3: divorced and no strings.
Speaker 4: For me.
Speaker 2: He wanted to think that he was going to give
Speaker 2: me his answer, but out it's all unnecessary.
Speaker 4: You're so right, I recommend I want to show you something.
Speaker 4: See here on the ground, What do you.
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: I don't see an somebody put up quite an argument
Speaker 3: right here before Lance went through the railing.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yes, and here's something else.
Speaker 2: What's that man?
Speaker 4: The gold Tie class baby.
Speaker 3: With an eagle life, Danny, Yeah, Danny Eagle. It's changes
Speaker 3: things funny.
Speaker 7: Huh, Danny.
Speaker 2: I can't believe Danny would murder Rally.
Speaker 3: You better start believing it and get back to your
Speaker 3: cabin and stay there with the doors and windows locked.
Speaker 3: You are half the beef now that he's gone this far.
Speaker 3: Chances of good he's got something nice thought up for
Speaker 3: you too. Unless I'm making the king size mistaken, you
Speaker 3: and Danny.
Speaker 4: Turn out to be a team.
Speaker 2: Are you crazy?
Speaker 3: It could figure both ways, baby, So I'll keep it
Speaker 3: in mind until I get something more to do with it. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: like I said, take care of yourself. I dropped the
Speaker 3: Thai Class into my pocket and started looking for its
Speaker 3: owner who could be number one candidate for a noose.
Speaker 3: I decided to try Danny's cabin first, But when I
Speaker 3: got there, it was dark, with everything.
Speaker 4: Just as I'd left it.
Speaker 3: Until I turned to go, someone was framing the door.
Speaker 3: It was a gentleman farmer, a Novis fight fan, Jess Weather.
Speaker 2: Weegs having special monom.
Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, I am I figured you would.
Speaker 7: Be what would being a reporter because because I know
Speaker 7: there's been some kind of a ruckus here tonight.
Speaker 4: How did you know there was trouble here?
Speaker 7: What I happened to be passing by a certain phone
Speaker 7: a few minutes ago, and I heard that trainer, Babe
Speaker 7: Journey calling the police.
Speaker 3: Okay, as long as you know that much, you may
Speaker 3: as well of the rest. Somebody cheved the bus of
Speaker 3: this place.
Speaker 4: I throw a railing into one hundred feet of thin air.
Speaker 7: He's dead or Lance murdered by one of his own men,
Speaker 7: or no, I don't believe he's a good Managers boys
Speaker 7: loved him, every one of them.
Speaker 3: You should be so loved, especially by a guy like
Speaker 3: Danny Danny Eagle none other.
Speaker 4: And that's only half of it. You're a good manager.
Speaker 3: Mister Lance was a fight fixer, one who even drug
Speaker 3: his own stable to be sure to lose. He was
Speaker 3: as crooked as a hyenas back leg.
Speaker 8: He rearrings boxing.
Speaker 3: Fats, putting it mildly. His own wife, Mayra pinned that
Speaker 3: on him just tonight. She didn't go into detail.
Speaker 4: She didn't have to.
Speaker 3: She had enough proof to make it stick because she
Speaker 3: was getting a divorce on the strength of it.
Speaker 8: Oh, I find it mighty hard to believe. All is
Speaker 8: mister Marlowe.
Speaker 4: There's something else. I'm not a reporter.
Speaker 3: I'm a private detective called in by Babe Derney because
Speaker 3: he was worried.
Speaker 4: Now I am anyway, Here's what I'm getting at.
Speaker 3: If you're really sincere about liking your violence, according to
Speaker 3: Marcras of Queensbury rules, you can do.
Speaker 4: Me a big favor. What can I do? Keep an
Speaker 4: eye on Myra Lance for me? Uh huh. She left
Speaker 4: her in the cottage, Dan Eagle, maybe only half finished
Speaker 4: with what he started.
Speaker 8: I'll do my best. You can count on that set.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: I'm going up to the office of the lodge now
Speaker 3: and find out if anyone saw Danny leave the grounds.
Speaker 4: I'll see it.
Speaker 11: Oh, hello there, mister Marlowe to get enough story material
Speaker 11: from the box fighters for a.
Speaker 4: Couple of novels. Clementine, you alone here and now.
Speaker 2: My daddy and I were playing Canasta, but he left
Speaker 2: a while back, went off without his coat too.
Speaker 3: See, I know you've been here in the office ever
Speaker 3: since then. Why yes, why, maybe you're gonna help.
Speaker 2: Me weirdly, but you've just got to help me. First,
Speaker 2: mister Morrow, have you got a cigarette paper?
Speaker 4: A cigarette paper?
Speaker 2: You know the macers? I'm trying to roll me a cigarette?
Speaker 9: Ran out of mind.
Speaker 5: I found my daddy's tobacco, and then I absolutely emptied
Speaker 5: his coat pockets here looking for a paper, but there
Speaker 5: wasn't any.
Speaker 4: You wouldn't have a Oh.
Speaker 3: No, no, I'm afraid not, Clementine, Here, I have one
Speaker 3: of mine, I in fact have two. Now my question,
Speaker 3: how did you happen to see Danny Eagle go out go.
Speaker 4: On out to what?
Speaker 2: Mister Marlow?
Speaker 3: Huh oh, never mind, listen, Clementine. Did this thing come
Speaker 3: out of your daddy's coat pocket too?
Speaker 2: That old ticket stuck?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: How did that little pocket and the big one on
Speaker 2: the right side? It was, mister Morrow, what's wrong?
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I better find out right now.
Speaker 3: Because I ran out of the office and passed the
Speaker 3: ampty rope ring and told.
Speaker 4: Where the cabin stood.
Speaker 3: I was full of the conviction that clover Lake Training
Speaker 3: Camp was due for a second copse any minute.
Speaker 4: Only this time I knew that some fast adjectives I
Speaker 4: myself had tossed off and not a hot headed fighter.
Speaker 3: Were playing cause and effect. As I made for the
Speaker 3: door of the Lance cabin. There was no help in
Speaker 3: the fact that my volunteered god, Jess Weatherwax, was nowhere
Speaker 3: in sight.
Speaker 4: I called Myra's names twice and still got no answer.
Speaker 3: So I stepped back to go to work on the
Speaker 3: door with my shoulder and the lock turned from inside.
Speaker 2: What is it, Mala?
Speaker 4: What are you doing here at the moment? Myra, Baby?
Speaker 3: I'm counting lucky stars that kind of kept you hail
Speaker 3: and haughty in spite of me in my big.
Speaker 2: Mouth, I'm I'm afraid that I don't know what you mean.
Speaker 3: I mean I almost spilled all, including the clincher, which
Speaker 3: was where you could be located. All this minds you
Speaker 3: to the guy who know that was in it, Woul Lance.
Speaker 3: Right up there was Adam's apple. The fact that you're
Speaker 3: still breathing means that he must have given up and.
Speaker 4: Beat it because of that top or I sent him
Speaker 4: here to God. You say, what's the matter. Aren't you
Speaker 4: even curious?
Speaker 2: Why? Yes, sure, of course, don't move.
Speaker 7: Oh no, you have a talent for stupid audacity. And
Speaker 7: man Meyer's still breathing because up to the point where
Speaker 7: you knocked on this door. She still didn't realize my connection.
Speaker 7: But when you shut up, I couldn't take a chance.
Speaker 7: I was forced to bring this gun into things and
Speaker 7: wait behind the door. Obviously you both know, and I was.
Speaker 4: So relieved you still that frank enough to open the door. Myra.
Speaker 4: I stepped in shin first, and was happy about it.
Speaker 4: I was afraid to warn you I'll let you all
Speaker 4: move with a wax. Well, let it be.
Speaker 8: I have no choice.
Speaker 4: You have a lot of bodies to crawl out from
Speaker 4: underbusting that.
Speaker 8: Would be too hard.
Speaker 7: Dan's already framed for Ralli, his madam, framed by home
Speaker 7: by Rowley Lands himself. Such a simple little plan.
Speaker 8: I worked at that as I worked out everything else
Speaker 8: around here.
Speaker 4: Just for the record, how is it supposed to go?
Speaker 7: Once myyer knew about Rawley, she became dangerous to me.
Speaker 7: She had to be killed, So I told him how
Speaker 7: to set up the whole thing. You know, you're really
Speaker 7: enjoying yourself, aren't you, Frankly No, or I just don't
Speaker 7: intend to take the wrap for my late partner's stupid clumsiness.
Speaker 8: Oh but this has gone fine enough.
Speaker 4: Hey, he's got.
Speaker 8: And I still got a good right hand. My boy, Hey,
Speaker 8: stop it.
Speaker 4: Off, Hey, we're there, high off, hiy off, I tell you,
Speaker 4: my on, he's got to tell us the rest. Come
Speaker 4: on with a wax talk. What actually happened on the
Speaker 4: path of the.
Speaker 7: Lake wowls set up frame on dani Is. I told
Speaker 7: him to her by planning that eagle tig class at
Speaker 7: the weak spot in the rear, and then he made
Speaker 7: a lot of marks.
Speaker 4: In the path like there had been a fighter go ahead.
Speaker 7: And after that he went over to kick the rear loose.
Speaker 7: He tripped and he fell because of those shoes of his,
Speaker 7: with the hard, slick souls and build up heels.
Speaker 8: Silly little man.
Speaker 3: Well, it wasn't long until the boys from the Sheriff's
Speaker 3: office arrived with a good doctor, a lot of open notebooks,
Speaker 3: and an endless supply of questions.
Speaker 4: But finally all the pieces were fitted together.
Speaker 3: Very surprised, Danny Eagle, who had done a lot of thinking,
Speaker 3: was back from a second long walk, and the whole
Speaker 3: thing had boiled down to me alone at the bedside
Speaker 3: of a heavy jawed trainer. What a happy look on
Speaker 3: his ugly posts for the first time that night, My.
Speaker 4: Boy's going to be champ now Marlow. Thanks to you, Oh,
Speaker 4: thanks to you, babe. We were almost down for the
Speaker 4: count when you showed up. Hey, how's the shoulder that? Hey? Look,
Speaker 4: tell me something. How'd you back old Weatherwacks into that corner? Oh? Well?
Speaker 3: I found a ticket stuff from his coat pocket with
Speaker 3: a number A two on it. Weatherwick's claimed that he'd
Speaker 3: never seen a fight or met Lance until the camp
Speaker 3: opened up here, but that stub proved that just a
Speaker 3: month ago he sat right beside Lance.
Speaker 4: That's right, Dan's always head. She wanted the arena checked.
Speaker 4: In short, Weatherax was a liar who dropped his god,
Speaker 4: and in this rect you do that just once and
Speaker 4: you're out. He see that the eagle keeps his God up,
Speaker 4: will you, babe? I'm gonna be betting on him from
Speaker 4: now on. I don't give it another thought. Good night, Phil,
Speaker 4: And I didn't give it another thought. Neither did I
Speaker 4: think about an arrogant little guy who was phony heels
Speaker 4: and twisted.
Speaker 3: Mind that dumped him into his own trap, or about
Speaker 3: a fat gambler who traded in perverted victories and rotten,
Speaker 3: hopeless defeats. Instead, I thought about the sun coming up
Speaker 3: over the hills and a nice big platter with a
Speaker 3: ham on with on him, and then a good solid eight.
Speaker 4: Hours sleep, nothing else. You know, sometimes I think I
Speaker 4: have no soul.
