1
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: Come in. Welcome, I'm e. G. Marshall. Welcome aboard. I

2
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:31,280
say aboard because this is a train, a train of thoughts,

3
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,960
all the dark and demoniacal thoughts that are as old

4
00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:40,079
as the beginnings of the human race. If, as the

5
00:00:40,119 --> 00:00:44,399
poet said, no man is an island, then is it

6
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,600
really true that each member of the human race is

7
00:00:47,679 --> 00:00:55,079
somehow interconnected? Does an infinite network of psychic wires actually exist?

8
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,640
Or is it possible they have been short circuited? If

9
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,680
we were merely machines, this proposition could be tested. But

10
00:01:06,079 --> 00:01:11,840
we are not merely machines, or are we? Your whole

11
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,159
career can be down the drain, Let it go. But

12
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,280
there are people who work for you, sacrifice for you.

13
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,920
It supported you. I didn't ask. I think of the country.

14
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,120
You are an important man, of a valuable man. There

15
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:28,840
are other men just as good, better, not all wish

16
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,519
for all. A woman put it anyway you like. But

17
00:01:31,599 --> 00:01:34,920
you don't even know if she exists. I know how

18
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,120
do you know? Have you seen her? Have you spoken

19
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:43,400
to her? I tell you I know how. I hear

20
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,680
in my heart so clearly, so distinctly, I hear her

21
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,239
right now, can't you? I can't hear I've seen. It's

22
00:01:53,239 --> 00:01:59,799
a pity she's saying. She loves me, Harburn, I'm sorry

23
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,640
for you. Oh no, I'm the one who's sorry for you.

24
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:18,039
Our mystery drama Must Hope Parish was written especially for

25
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:23,120
the Mystery Theater by Sam Dan and stars Hugh Marlowe.

26
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,199
It is sponsored in part by Uncle Ben's Long Grain

27
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:30,919
and Wild Rice and Buwick Motor Division. I'll be back

28
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:46,120
shortly with that one. His name is Marvin Hale Prentiss.

29
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:51,080
He is a United States Senator. Both his friends and

30
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:55,520
his opponents call him middle of the road Marvin. His

31
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,439
friends say that Marvin has a unique ability to see

32
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:04,199
all sides of an issue. His foes insists that Marvin

33
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:09,199
is just too slick to be pinned down. However, just recently,

34
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,520
Senator Marvin Hale Prentice has taken a stand, a definite,

35
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,479
unqualified stand. It has to do with opening trade relations

36
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,719
with the People's Republic of Griyage. The Senator is against it.

37
00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:27,879
Till now, Marvin Hale Prentice has been a rather obscure

38
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,240
senator from one of the less populous states, but now

39
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,560
he is quoted in the papers, profiled in the magazines

40
00:03:36,039 --> 00:03:40,639
talked about on the Knees broadcasts. Right now he is

41
00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:44,159
the guest on Meet the Country. At this hour in

42
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,840
our nation's history, our thoughts should be directed towards those

43
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:51,120
principles that led to the creation of our own republic.

44
00:03:51,719 --> 00:03:56,080
And what are they? Liberty and justice? How then, can

45
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,280
we strengthen the hand of a tyrannical dictatorship that with

46
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,360
halls and denies justice to its own people? Let me

47
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:06,159
turn it down, will your Marvin? There is one person,

48
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,639
one person who must be hurt from mom. Do we

49
00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:14,800
have to listen? Come off and kill the sounder that

50
00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:21,720
scared of a people cannot be stepped upon? Eh? Much better,

51
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,560
you know, mam? You do look good on TV? Did

52
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:35,319
the bug budgy? Which bro which bug? Indeed, let's call

53
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,399
it buggers? Presidential? Or come on? Popa? Now you look

54
00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:42,000
at your colleagues, some of them will planned to run,

55
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,879
and you say, if it can happen to them, why

56
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,639
not me? Nothing could be further from my mind. You're

57
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,519
talking to old pop here. I've seen you fellas come

58
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,759
and go for over fifty years. One day you look

59
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,600
in the mirror and you say, why not me? Pop

60
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:03,439
By ever even given a thought why not you of

61
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,319
all you need is a few breaks. May be a

62
00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:10,120
good issue, and you're riding one right now. This is

63
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,680
a matter of conscience. Makes it even better. You are

64
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,560
the most completely cynical man in Washington. Would you believe it?

65
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,439
In some circles, I'm considered an idealist. I remember when

66
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,360
we were taping this broadcast. Right about here, I say something.

67
00:05:25,399 --> 00:05:27,480
I'd like you to listen. To turn up the volume.

68
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,040
I'm about to quote someone. Oh, I hope at Shakespeare.

69
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,439
Oh come on, please, I say this because Shakespeare is safe, unacceptable.

70
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,879
This is important. There's one person called D. K. Creston

71
00:05:38,399 --> 00:05:40,879
who my quote in just a minute. Oh do you

72
00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:43,759
dig these characters up? I want you to listen to

73
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,680
the words of B. K. Creston. Okay, okay, who is

74
00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:55,560
b K. Christon? Nobody knows. Oh that's right. In Doriage

75
00:05:55,879 --> 00:05:59,360
and all these dictatorships, people must write in secret. It

76
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,160
can't be no, they won't be published. What they write

77
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,959
is just passed around from hand to hand on typewritten

78
00:06:05,959 --> 00:06:10,279
pieces of paper. Now turn it up. According DK quest

79
00:06:10,439 --> 00:06:13,600
all right, an unknown native of dori Oars reaches out

80
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:19,160
to us D K. Creston, who writes millions reach out,

81
00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:22,600
as if from the darkness of the grave, here we

82
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:27,759
are the prisoners of practicality. Poetry only in poetry is

83
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,480
brotherhood mentioned now? And if there be no poetry, we die,

84
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:39,920
must hope, perish. That's it. Shut the set eh mats

85
00:06:40,079 --> 00:06:44,399
beyond me. I feel I know this V. K. Creston,

86
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,439
Marbne Are you all right? Sure? Sure it sounds crazy,

87
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,079
But those words, okay, what are they? The desperate cry

88
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,160
of someone who is even too powerless to fight for freedom?

89
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,600
You know you've been working through our DK Creston is

90
00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:02,959
speaking to me, to me directly, all right, all right, Marvin,

91
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,120
I'm only asking how we we establish this. That's all.

92
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,519
He and I know each other. There's a bond between us,

93
00:07:10,519 --> 00:07:14,600
a mysterious bond. I knew it when I read the

94
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,319
first poem in a little book that was smuggled out

95
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:20,079
of the country. It was addressed to me. You mean

96
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,959
your name was honored? No, my name was in it.

97
00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:28,319
Show me what I mean is my initials are in it? Now?

98
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,639
You just lost me, Marvin Hale Prentice MHP. In the

99
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,279
poetry all of Preston's writings, the first line always starts

100
00:07:37,279 --> 00:07:40,199
with a word that begins with an M. The second

101
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,319
line starts with a word that begins with an H,

102
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,600
and the third with a P. Well that could be,

103
00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:49,600
that could be? What coincidence? Remember what I just quoted

104
00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:54,399
over the TV show? The first line begins millions reach out,

105
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,639
there's your M, second line here we are prisoners. And

106
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,319
the third good line poetry. Only in poetry is there's

107
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,160
the P and the final three words sentence must hope,

108
00:08:08,199 --> 00:08:17,519
perish MHP. Marvin Hale promise, Well, well, what do you

109
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,480
want me to tell you? Now? Do you know why

110
00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:23,199
I feel DK questions reaching out to me, one man's thoughts,

111
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:26,680
reaching out across thousands of miles and touching my own.

112
00:08:27,279 --> 00:08:30,959
That's why I'm fighting this trade bill. It's for BK question, Harburne,

113
00:08:31,079 --> 00:08:33,240
I don't think you should mention it that way to

114
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,799
another living soul. This whole business, if the if the

115
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,879
paper's caught on atop, why don't you just once quit

116
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,200
being the wise old man of politics and tell me

117
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:49,960
what you really think. I don't know our transference, extrasensory perception,

118
00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:56,240
we and the laughter, all that stuff, But who's really

119
00:08:56,279 --> 00:09:03,440
got the answer? Or excuse me? Pop h Hello Marvin?

120
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: Oh yes, Dear Marvin, you didn't come to see me

121
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,039
this afternoon.

122
00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:15,279
Speaker 1: I know, dear, but you promised, Marvin, you promised I

123
00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:18,159
I'll be out tomorrow. Why weren't you here today?

124
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,039
Speaker 2: They they were mean to me again.

125
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, darling. I'll talk to them about it.

126
00:09:25,759 --> 00:09:28,799
Speaker 2: I was digging in the garden and I found an

127
00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:29,799
Indian airlord.

128
00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: Oh that's wonderful.

129
00:09:32,159 --> 00:09:34,399
Speaker 2: Do you know the man I was telling you about?

130
00:09:34,879 --> 00:09:39,159
Speaker 1: Oh, now, dearest, there's no such a person. Oh that's

131
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,200
what you say, But there isn't. You take everyone's part

132
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,519
but mine.

133
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,159
Speaker 2: He was staring at me to the garden gate.

134
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 3: You'll come out here tomorrow, and do you catch you

135
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:51,519
for me?

136
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,159
Speaker 1: Promise I promise.

137
00:09:54,919 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 4: You never keep any of your promises.

138
00:09:57,799 --> 00:10:05,519
Speaker 1: I never want to see you against Dolly. Dolly well,

139
00:10:07,039 --> 00:10:10,720
oh she she's not getting any better. She's going to

140
00:10:10,799 --> 00:10:13,799
be a problem for you, Marv. Oh stop looking at

141
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,919
everything from a political point of view. Whi's just bad luck.

142
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,600
You and Dolly had agreed to a parting before before

143
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,000
this thing came over. But you divorce her now and

144
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,960
there isn't a woman in the country who'd vote for you, Papa.

145
00:10:29,039 --> 00:10:32,480
I have no intentions, Okay, I won't say another word

146
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,639
good And as a reward, I'll buy you dinner tonight.

147
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,480
Not a chance my old lady should be if I

148
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:44,879
make her spend another night alone. Why don't you come

149
00:10:44,879 --> 00:10:48,240
home with me? No, No, I've got some work to do. Marv.

150
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,879
You're not the kind of guy who can be alone

151
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,080
too much. You need someone pop. Did you ever think

152
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,600
of writing an advice to the lovelor and column? Well,

153
00:10:56,639 --> 00:11:01,600
i'd write a damn good one, A marvel you'll be

154
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:07,679
careful of what of everything? You're becoming a hot property?

155
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,559
This speak K christ Why do I feel that I

156
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,759
know him so well? I haven't the faintest idea who

157
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:22,240
VK Criston could be? Marv? The Yeah, the party is

158
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,120
going to decide to approve the trade bill. You know

159
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,639
that that won't change my mind, Marven. You martiand ever

160
00:11:29,799 --> 00:11:43,440
take politics seriously? It will break your heart. Oh well,

161
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,559
Major Turner, what have you to report? Nothing? At this time?

162
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,759
You are act seed the trade bill. There is a

163
00:11:50,799 --> 00:11:54,799
certain Senator Prientice, Yes, I know. Why is he so

164
00:11:54,879 --> 00:11:57,159
opposed to the bill. It seems he's made it a

165
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,919
personal crusade that the administration is in favor doesn't he

166
00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:05,600
submit to party discipline? They have strange customs in America.

167
00:12:06,039 --> 00:12:09,320
The representatives are permitted to book as they please. But

168
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,080
what does he have against the bill? I suppose he's

169
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,000
been infected by the writings of this V. K. Creston? Yes,

170
00:12:15,039 --> 00:12:19,799
I'm aware of that. Who is VK. Crestin? We don't know?

171
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,000
What do you mean you don't know? Major? We have

172
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,960
no idea. That's ridiculous. V K. Kreston is obviously unowned

173
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,159
to prove yet, of course, but we're familiar with the

174
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,440
styles and techniques of most of our writers. We should

175
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,399
be able to tell who VK. Questing is. How what

176
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,480
you say your recordence is true? But obviously v. K.

177
00:12:41,639 --> 00:12:45,440
Kreston is a new and unknown writer. Even so that

178
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,120
that I'll have to give himself away. He's been extremely cautious.

179
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,559
How badly are we being hurt by this? Senator Prentice were, excellency.

180
00:12:54,639 --> 00:12:58,279
He's an attractive man and he has a popular issue.

181
00:12:58,799 --> 00:13:04,559
And what do we have on him? Nothing? Nothing? You say,

182
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:09,159
he's attractive, no scandal. We haven't been able to find

183
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,840
any no women. He's married, but his wife has been

184
00:13:12,879 --> 00:13:19,039
institutionalized severe nervous breakdown. How long has she been away

185
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:24,200
six months? No one knows when or if she'll be cured.

186
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:30,240
And he's an attractive man. Let's file that fact for

187
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:40,720
the future. Marvin. The parties and trying to put any

188
00:13:40,879 --> 00:13:44,919
pressure on you, But most people agree the trade bill

189
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,399
is a good thing. Do it well. On balance. Has

190
00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:51,440
a lot to be shed for and against. But from

191
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,519
a practical, realistic standpoint, I know all those arguments pop.

192
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,759
But I want you to listen to this. Uh you're

193
00:13:58,759 --> 00:14:04,240
gonna quote me something are your friend? V K Preston, Preston, Ohka,

194
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,039
make a vow to me, hold my trembling hand, pray

195
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,000
we'll all be free. It's the first three lines of

196
00:14:12,039 --> 00:14:15,799
a poem. The first word first line begins with M,

197
00:14:16,039 --> 00:14:18,639
the first word, and the second line begins with H.

198
00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:21,840
Third line P. And here's the very last line of

199
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:27,159
the poem. Three words the same three words must, hope, perish.

200
00:14:27,759 --> 00:14:31,159
This is a message. It's meant for me. Now, you've

201
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:36,919
always been steady, reliable, sensible. Don't start getting cooky. You

202
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,679
know what I mean. I can't help it, and I

203
00:14:39,799 --> 00:14:42,480
know how that must sound. The trouble that you've had

204
00:14:42,519 --> 00:14:46,519
with Dolly. She's going a severe strain on both of you.

205
00:14:47,559 --> 00:14:51,600
She cracked up in a visible an hour as you Yes,

206
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,039
whereas we're off on this psychic communication kick, There is

207
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,799
a psychic communication between us, between B. K. Creston and

208
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,759
do you know what the hometown papers would make out

209
00:15:03,799 --> 00:15:05,840
of that? You can say whatever you like, but I

210
00:15:05,879 --> 00:15:08,440
have this feeling and I don't know where it comes

211
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,919
from that I'm going to meet D. K. Creston not

212
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:30,159
too long from now. So Lestie speaking, Oh, that's impossible.

213
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,679
If I would interview every peasant woman who wandered in here,

214
00:15:33,679 --> 00:15:34,559
we'll throw her out.

215
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:46,159
Speaker 2: Wealthy hands out of me, Your excellency, Oh dare you

216
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,360
burst into my office?

217
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,159
Speaker 1: Who do you think you are?

218
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,559
Speaker 3: I got information, We'll.

219
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: Give it to the proper official.

220
00:15:50,799 --> 00:15:52,919
Speaker 3: At the best and get cheated out of the reward.

221
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,440
Do you think I was born yesterday?

222
00:15:55,279 --> 00:15:56,039
Speaker 1: All I have to.

223
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,519
Speaker 2: Say is I know where you can pick up this

224
00:15:57,639 --> 00:15:59,799
DK Krestin And when I come back.

225
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:05,159
Speaker 1: For the what name? What name did you just say? Creston?

226
00:16:05,919 --> 00:16:08,960
You know where we can find Creston.

227
00:16:09,679 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 3: What do you think I'm doing here?

228
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: Give me the address?

229
00:16:14,279 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: Oh will as soon as I'm written down for the reward.

230
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,960
Business should always come first.

231
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: She's right, this rather uninhibited lady. Business should always come first.

232
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,399
We too have a little business that must be transacted.

233
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,080
And then we will join the police of the People's

234
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:45,039
Republic of Doriage and meet the elusive, mysterious BK. Creston.

235
00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:48,600
And that will happen when I return in just a

236
00:16:48,600 --> 00:17:04,119
few moments. With that too, hearts and hands across the sea.

237
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,240
What does a revolutionary and unknown poet from a troubled

238
00:17:09,279 --> 00:17:13,680
central European country have in common with a senator from

239
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,680
a western state. They have never met, They were never

240
00:17:17,759 --> 00:17:21,720
aware of each other's existence. So why should the senator

241
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,799
become convinced that the poet was writing poetic messages specifically

242
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:31,519
for him? Or could it just be the senator's imagination?

243
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,279
Right now, the poet has trouble enough, and to spare,

244
00:17:37,079 --> 00:17:40,839
the police are closing in. You'll get your reward.

245
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:46,519
Speaker 3: Write down my name, it's here, Colotto. Very well, you

246
00:17:46,599 --> 00:17:47,240
must have heard of.

247
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 2: My husband, Try Colotto. He used to be a star

248
00:17:50,599 --> 00:17:51,319
soccer player.

249
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,519
Speaker 1: Now where can we find b. K. Christi?

250
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: The reason we need the money? You see it, he

251
00:17:58,279 --> 00:18:02,279
broke his leg in the championship. It's ten years ago. Well,

252
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,079
we we had the extra room and we've been taken

253
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:07,720
in boarders.

254
00:18:08,039 --> 00:18:10,279
Speaker 1: Yeah the way it's important.

255
00:18:10,279 --> 00:18:13,079
Speaker 2: Because it's how we knew our latest border is this

256
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,920
DK Creston. Well, well, this one's a typeest and does

257
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,480
extra work at home. Well, you know how the inflation's

258
00:18:21,599 --> 00:18:22,359
killing everybody.

259
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 3: You got a work day or night.

260
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 2: You get to the bar, like I said, this one

261
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,880
types and well you know.

262
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,599
Speaker 3: They they make mistakes and we'll see.

263
00:18:31,039 --> 00:18:34,839
Speaker 2: I'm emptying out the garbage cans and I find these

264
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,640
crumpled cheeks of paper.

265
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 3: Here read fat.

266
00:18:41,559 --> 00:18:49,559
Speaker 1: Must hope parish. B Kay, Christen, It's a shame.

267
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 2: Such a nice, quiet, pretty little girl too, can't be

268
00:18:55,519 --> 00:18:56,440
more twenty five?

269
00:18:56,519 --> 00:19:01,519
Speaker 1: The girl? Did you say? B K Creston is a girl?

270
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:17,680
Ah ah oh, bump, it's me Marvin. Marvin, do you

271
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,720
know what time it is? Pop? I'm sorry I woke you,

272
00:19:20,759 --> 00:19:24,759
but I I just couldn't sleep. I was wrong. I

273
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,599
had the strangest feeling. You think I'm crazy. I think

274
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,920
you're crazy anyhow, So what is it, Kristin? Did you

275
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,359
call me up at this hour of the night to

276
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:42,000
talk about Christen? Maybe it's just a dream, but I

277
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:48,799
I'm sure that BK Creston has been arrested. Yeah, what

278
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,400
is there we can do about it? What is there

279
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:56,799
we can do about it? Marvin? That's the internal affairs

280
00:19:56,799 --> 00:19:59,319
of another country. Oh, come on, you've been around, you

281
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:04,000
know where the wheel term not? I Pop? Please try?

282
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,079
But how do you know who? You told me? If

283
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,480
you've had a dream, how do you know? I know? Pop?

284
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:23,960
I know well, citizen question. It's an honor to meet

285
00:20:24,039 --> 00:20:29,039
such a celebrated literary figure. And what do you have

286
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:34,680
to say for yourself? Nothing? You have quite a bit

287
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,960
to say, however, in this treasonous poetry that flows in

288
00:20:38,039 --> 00:20:44,240
such a poisonous stream from your typewriter. V K. Questioning,

289
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:54,519
Valerie Catherine, not questioning, but static. Oh it struck a nerd.

290
00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:00,319
You thought we wouldn't be able to find out. So

291
00:21:01,319 --> 00:21:07,240
what shall we do if you, Valerie Catherine? We could

292
00:21:07,319 --> 00:21:11,519
have you shot or hanged, or sent away to a

293
00:21:11,599 --> 00:21:13,799
labor camp for corrective therapy.

294
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 5: Do your worst.

295
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: Oh, she speaks such a beautiful voice.

296
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:20,279
Speaker 5: I'm not afraid.

297
00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:26,039
Speaker 1: Yes, that's your problem. You're not afraid. If you were

298
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,519
intelligent instead of merely talented, you'd be smart enough to

299
00:21:29,559 --> 00:21:33,000
be afraid, and you'd never have gotten into this scrape

300
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:33,599
to begin.

301
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 5: With, I don't care what you do with me.

302
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, spare me please. You're willing to die

303
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,640
for freedom and justice may kill me? Yes, yes, yes,

304
00:21:41,759 --> 00:21:48,079
I know. But but what I believe in ChIL endure forever.

305
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:56,839
This is the romantic revolutionary nonsense of youth. I was

306
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,400
young once myself. A pity. You live to grow older,

307
00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:03,200
and we are willing to consider your exercises on the

308
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,400
typewriter as childish nonsense.

309
00:22:05,599 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 5: Then why do you fear them?

310
00:22:08,279 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: You're a grown woman and the toys of childhood must

311
00:22:12,759 --> 00:22:18,400
be put away finally, and I have for you a

312
00:22:18,519 --> 00:22:21,680
woman's assignment. What makes you think I would only have

313
00:22:21,839 --> 00:22:29,200
child interrupts, You'll be sent to prison. Miraculously, you will

314
00:22:29,319 --> 00:22:33,839
escape across the border, and you will present yourself, but

315
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:39,119
the American consulate and ask for asylum. When now, don't

316
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,200
look at me as though I am a madman. I

317
00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:44,920
know what I'm saying. In America, you will meet a

318
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:50,000
senator named Prentiss. He's quite impressed with your writings, and

319
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,599
looking at you, I can tell that you'll be quite

320
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,839
impressed with you. It should be easy for you to

321
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,960
become more than just a friend.

322
00:23:00,039 --> 00:23:03,079
Speaker 5: My answer is no, Oh, you do it, I'll die first.

323
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,599
What is this talk about die? It didn't just talk?

324
00:23:06,839 --> 00:23:07,960
Do you think I'm afraid?

325
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: Ah? Here we have this fear business again, my girl,

326
00:23:13,279 --> 00:23:18,279
depend on it. You'll do as you're told. Never. Well,

327
00:23:18,279 --> 00:23:21,240
we could stay here and bandy words all day long,

328
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:28,880
but one brief experience is worth a lifetime of discussion. Major,

329
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,359
have the car ready, We're taking a short trip.

330
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 5: I don't care how long you keep me here, and.

331
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: We don't intend to keep you here at all. Don't

332
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,799
you want to visit your father? Father?

333
00:23:52,039 --> 00:23:54,279
Speaker 5: What do you want with my father? My father didn't

334
00:23:54,319 --> 00:23:54,759
do anything.

335
00:23:54,799 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: Oh, it's not true. He had a daughter and she's

336
00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:12,279
giving us trouble. God, wait a wait outside fault? Well

337
00:24:13,599 --> 00:24:21,440
what is it? Oh? Oh, it's you reality? W Why

338
00:24:21,839 --> 00:24:24,200
what did they what did they say? It is one

339
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,160
of mistakes.

340
00:24:25,559 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 6: I've got seen my laboratory and the police came and

341
00:24:29,839 --> 00:24:34,079
now here I am. It is a mistake, and I'm

342
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,200
sure they will check that, I cause it's.

343
00:24:36,079 --> 00:24:37,079
Speaker 5: What happened to your part.

344
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,279
Speaker 1: Ah.

345
00:24:39,279 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 6: One of the police officers was young and impatient.

346
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,799
Speaker 1: He the who really was my own vault?

347
00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 5: I should not have objected, He how long have you

348
00:24:51,079 --> 00:24:51,480
been here?

349
00:24:51,759 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: Well?

350
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 6: I I don't know. I was in the lab and

351
00:24:57,279 --> 00:25:04,319
then I was here. Uh oh uh they why he

352
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,359
he's not that nice of them, and they let you come?

353
00:25:09,599 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 1: How? Why are you my child?

354
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,279
Speaker 5: I'm fine, that's good.

355
00:25:13,559 --> 00:25:13,799
Speaker 1: Good.

356
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 6: I hope you are not talking against the government. There's

357
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,039
no point, is It's just that I was his passions

358
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:29,680
and anger, and the mind should be cleared for thinking. Yes, father,

359
00:25:30,759 --> 00:25:35,440
and I can think here just as well as any

360
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:42,400
place else. Besides, I wouldn't stay here too long. They're

361
00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:46,119
bound to find out that there's been a mistake and

362
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,759
then they will let me go and I will be

363
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:50,920
free soon.

364
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,599
Speaker 5: Yes, father, you'll be free soon.

365
00:25:59,759 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: So as a committee meeting, we'll have to hurry to lunch.

366
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,680
I've already ordered for you. Thanks. I know you like

367
00:26:07,759 --> 00:26:11,599
to kid around with that redheaded waitress. What's your name? Caroline?

368
00:26:11,599 --> 00:26:15,440
And I don't kid around with Oh you think you don't.

369
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,240
Dolly's been away for months? What are you building puff?

370
00:26:19,759 --> 00:26:22,759
I haven't even thought about another woman. You've been doing

371
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,400
nothing but think about another woman for two weeks now,

372
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,039
by your own admission, you even dream about her. When

373
00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:32,440
did I ever admit that I can name the woman?

374
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:38,440
I wish you would the K Creston K Creston or

375
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:45,160
if you prefer Valerie Catherine Creston b B. K Creston

376
00:26:45,559 --> 00:26:49,200
is a woman. You knew it all the time. How

377
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,480
can you say that because it's true? Oh maybe you

378
00:26:52,559 --> 00:26:58,559
weren't aware of it consciously. Talk about psychic communication. Pooh nothing,

379
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,519
I get a little sex to clear a while. Hop

380
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,599
never in my wildest imagining more shoes. I believe that

381
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,480
we shouldn't have a trade bill with a country like Doriage.

382
00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:12,240
And the writings of a certain DK Creston helped me

383
00:27:12,279 --> 00:27:17,559
to clarify my position. That's all. But how do you

384
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,599
know how did you find out that she was a woman?

385
00:27:20,839 --> 00:27:25,160
Well you were told about it psychically a few nights ago.

386
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,640
Come on, pop, layoff. Didn't you dream she was arrested?

387
00:27:29,319 --> 00:27:34,720
You you mean she was? That's right, Papa. I want

388
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,240
to set up a meeting with someone at the state.

389
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,240
All right, to relax, it's been fixed. She's escaped, she

390
00:27:40,319 --> 00:27:42,920
got across the border and she plied for asylum with

391
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,759
our embassy. Where's she now? In a plane headed for Washington?

392
00:27:46,799 --> 00:27:49,559
If you, hey, where are you going to the airport?

393
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,000
You want to sit down, have lunch and don't go

394
00:27:52,039 --> 00:27:57,119
to the airport. Why not? I've seen her picture. She's

395
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,480
too good looking? Or what does that have to do

396
00:27:59,559 --> 00:28:02,880
with haye? Whereas the TV cameras will be there, so

397
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,920
what so you're a hero tour. Suppose she throws her

398
00:28:06,039 --> 00:28:09,200
arms around you and turn and kisses you. I don't

399
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:14,279
think that's right. That's why you got me. I think

400
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,160
now people know about your wife, Marvin, they see a

401
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,720
cozy too short of you and a good looking name.

402
00:28:20,799 --> 00:28:24,519
And if oh, I think that's ridiculous, it's also politics.

403
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:31,480
Why don't we arrange for this historic confrontation in the

404
00:28:31,519 --> 00:28:40,680
privacy of your office? And what are your plans?

405
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 7: Ms Kristen please call me Valerie Catherine. Oh, yes, of course,

406
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,000
I I need a job.

407
00:28:48,319 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: Oh yes, well, well would uh would you like a

408
00:28:51,759 --> 00:28:52,559
job in my office?

409
00:28:52,599 --> 00:28:54,799
Speaker 5: Oh? That would be wonderful.

410
00:28:55,079 --> 00:28:58,839
Speaker 1: I uh, I need someone on my research staff, someone

411
00:28:58,839 --> 00:29:00,160
who knows foreigner.

412
00:29:00,519 --> 00:29:04,079
Speaker 7: Not only my country, but I myself will have reason

413
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,359
to be grateful to you, Senator Marvin.

414
00:29:07,119 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: Uh, we're all very informal around here. Uh. Well, UH

415
00:29:12,759 --> 00:29:20,720
tell me, Valerie Catherine, were you trying to say the

416
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,119
The first word in each line of your poetry seems

417
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,960
to create a pattern where it forms my initials. Here,

418
00:29:28,119 --> 00:29:31,799
I have one of your poems. See how it keeps

419
00:29:31,839 --> 00:29:33,440
forming the letters MHP.

420
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 7: But I never knew you, and I never knew you,

421
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,319
so how could I uh what you did?

422
00:29:41,799 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: Maybe we were looking for each other. I I I

423
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,960
know I've been seeking, searching, hoping. Have you?

424
00:29:52,519 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, I have?

425
00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: Valerie Katherine. What a lovely name. I wanna tell you

426
00:30:00,599 --> 00:30:03,759
something I don't have to. I don't have the right

427
00:30:03,839 --> 00:30:07,599
to say this, but I I love you. I I've

428
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:08,480
always loved you.

429
00:30:10,119 --> 00:30:13,559
Speaker 5: Well, I've always loved you.

430
00:30:15,079 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. I I don't know how it

431
00:30:18,279 --> 00:30:20,680
came about, and I don't wanna know.

432
00:30:30,279 --> 00:30:32,119
Speaker 5: Hello, good evening.

433
00:30:33,119 --> 00:30:34,279
Speaker 1: Are you alone? Who?

434
00:30:35,599 --> 00:30:36,039
Speaker 5: Who is this?

435
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,799
Speaker 1: You know who this is? Celestie?

436
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:41,519
Speaker 5: What do you want?

437
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: I've had myself transfer to our embassy here. I wanna

438
00:30:46,039 --> 00:30:49,359
keep an eye on you. So far, so good.

439
00:30:49,559 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 5: I don't know what you're talking about.

440
00:30:51,359 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: You work in his office, you have your own apartment.

441
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,519
He visits you regularly.

442
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,039
Speaker 5: He's leave me alone.

443
00:30:58,880 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: What does that mean?

444
00:31:01,079 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 7: He he's a wonderful human being and I love him.

445
00:31:06,559 --> 00:31:09,359
Speaker 1: I should make your job easier. What job?

446
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:11,559
Speaker 5: What am I supposed to be?

447
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: Doing exactly what you're doing now. Whoa Marvin. You're seeing

448
00:31:25,359 --> 00:31:28,839
too much of that girl. It's my own affair. See

449
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:35,359
subconsciously you use the right word affair. Pop, we're in love.

450
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:40,759
You are also a married man. Dolly and I haven't

451
00:31:40,799 --> 00:31:43,400
lived together for years. Very much in love with Dolly?

452
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,119
You still are I I'm not. It's over. You've missed her.

453
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,200
I don't want to discuss it. Man has a right

454
00:31:50,279 --> 00:31:54,559
to his pipe. You've been discreet so far. You haven't

455
00:31:54,599 --> 00:31:58,119
been seen in public, but you know the reporters in

456
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,319
this town. Nothing escapes them for too long. Yes, I

457
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,359
know Dolly went off the deep end because she couldn't

458
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,240
get used to the idea of your importance and the

459
00:32:09,319 --> 00:32:12,359
demands on your time. I don't want to talk about Dolly. Well,

460
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,119
do you want a woman you can hide somewhere and

461
00:32:15,319 --> 00:32:18,640
visit just as your schedule permit. You don't know how

462
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,079
far off base you are. Pop, I need this girl, Harve.

463
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,880
I wouldn't care if you were just another politician, but

464
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:31,240
you're not. You could go all the way. Don't drove

465
00:32:31,279 --> 00:32:37,640
away the main chance. Don't give up everything because well

466
00:32:39,039 --> 00:32:42,079
I guess that's how you know you're in love. I

467
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:52,240
am willing to give up everything everything in poetry, it's

468
00:32:52,319 --> 00:32:55,319
all very well to say the world is well lost

469
00:32:55,440 --> 00:33:00,240
for love? But is it? Men had given up all

470
00:33:00,279 --> 00:33:04,079
the world for love, and that's usually the last we

471
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:09,559
know about them. Have they regretted it? Who knows? If

472
00:33:09,559 --> 00:33:12,680
we are unable to feel another's pain, how can we

473
00:33:12,759 --> 00:33:17,279
hope to partake in his delight? Senator Prentice will or

474
00:33:17,319 --> 00:33:20,680
will not give up the world when I return in

475
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:28,359
just a few moments with Act three. His name is

476
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:34,240
Marvin Hale Prentiss. She is Valerie Clston. Until a few

477
00:33:34,279 --> 00:33:37,880
months ago, neither was aware of the other. How could

478
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,440
they be? She was an underground poet and a Central

479
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:47,359
European dictatorship. He a United States senator, and yet it

480
00:33:47,519 --> 00:33:50,680
seemed as if every thought in her mind was directed

481
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:59,240
at him. How why does it matter? Right now? They're

482
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,640
very much aware of each other, very much attracted to

483
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:07,160
each other. And if the situation is fraught with peril,

484
00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:12,400
as some people might put it, well, love laughs at tomorrow.

485
00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:17,599
After all, love always burns brightest today.

486
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 5: I want to know everything about you.

487
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, my wife has been dull compared to yours.

488
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 5: No, I see what you do in your job.

489
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:32,559
Speaker 1: It's exciting, it's safe, it has no real challenges. You

490
00:34:32,599 --> 00:34:33,880
lived with danger every day.

491
00:34:34,079 --> 00:34:36,679
Speaker 5: Ah, I don't recommend it, Marvin.

492
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: Mm to risk arrest every day to fight against.

493
00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 5: Ours t y. You mustn't make a heroine out of me.

494
00:34:43,599 --> 00:34:47,119
Speaker 1: But you are. You're the most the most excited woman

495
00:34:47,159 --> 00:34:47,840
I've ever met.

496
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 5: But you do have a wife.

497
00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 1: Yes, Dolly, I knew about you before we met. Did

498
00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:59,119
did you know about me?

499
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 5: M I must have known about you.

500
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:07,119
Speaker 7: There was a name somewhere in my mind. I didn't

501
00:35:07,159 --> 00:35:09,920
know the name, but it was there. It must have

502
00:35:10,039 --> 00:35:14,840
been there, just as so many thoughts remain just beyond

503
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:19,960
the edge of our understanding. But this name struggled to

504
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:25,119
reveal itself to me, and the initials came forth.

505
00:35:26,039 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: What's to become of us? Oh?

506
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,199
Speaker 5: I have yet to learn how to live with thoughts

507
00:35:31,199 --> 00:35:31,800
of tomorrow.

508
00:35:32,039 --> 00:35:36,599
Speaker 1: We'll have it tomorrow. I intend to divorce my wife,

509
00:35:37,119 --> 00:35:41,159
marry you, and retire from public. No, oh, no, why not?

510
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 5: I can't let you give up everything for me?

511
00:35:43,039 --> 00:35:45,119
Speaker 1: What am I giving up? All I want is you?

512
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 5: Perhaps perhaps we shouldn't see each other again?

513
00:35:50,079 --> 00:35:51,519
Speaker 1: What are you saying?

514
00:35:51,679 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 7: I can't understand why you know you are the strangest

515
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:57,559
girl I ever met.

516
00:35:58,119 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: Everything about us it's so hard to understand, and yet

517
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,159
it's so simple. I only know that I love you.

518
00:36:07,079 --> 00:36:07,719
Do you love me?

519
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 3: Yes?

520
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: But once you say yes, you don't have to say

521
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:31,039
but hello, what is it? Pop? I have to see why? Well,

522
00:36:31,079 --> 00:36:34,440
I'd rather not say on the phone. Will you be

523
00:36:34,519 --> 00:36:36,679
there for half an hour? No? I have to go

524
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,840
see Dolly, Dolly, yes, I I want to see if

525
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,039
I can get through to her, see if I can

526
00:36:43,079 --> 00:36:45,800
make her understand that the two of us are finished. Oh, Marvin,

527
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,960
don't do anything. Just can't well, of Pop, I think

528
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,559
I know my own business. Something you should know about

529
00:36:51,559 --> 00:36:55,039
about about Valerie. I know everything I want to know

530
00:36:55,119 --> 00:36:59,320
about her. Nothing could ever change my attitude. Why not

531
00:36:59,519 --> 00:37:04,760
hear me? And it's none of your business. I'll be

532
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:13,440
home at five this afternoon. How are you, Dolly?

533
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 2: H I have a way to go yet. But I

534
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,599
finally stopped fighting it.

535
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: What were you fighting? Oh?

536
00:37:22,519 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 2: You know, it's a terrible thing to be a great

537
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,360
man's wife. There's so little in it.

538
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 3: For a woman.

539
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 1: I'm not a great man.

540
00:37:30,679 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 3: Oh, but you will be in the next few years.

541
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 2: I always felt it. I saw it coming before you did.

542
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 3: I didn't want to give you up to the world.

543
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,079
The doctors may have long and involved names.

544
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:49,679
Speaker 2: For it, but what what I was doing was having tantrums.

545
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: Now, Dolly, Eh, it's not that simple.

546
00:37:52,559 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 3: Why isn't it, of course, if we'd had children.

547
00:37:56,159 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 1: I'm glad you feel this way, Dolly, because I came

548
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,000
here to tell you.

549
00:37:59,639 --> 00:38:02,679
Speaker 3: Came here to tell me you love me. I know,

550
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:04,800
but I you don't have to say anymore.

551
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,639
Speaker 2: What you just said is all I need. I'm not

552
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,280
out of the woods yet. I have good days and

553
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,679
bad This is one of my better days.

554
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,679
Speaker 3: Tomorrow might be a disaster.

555
00:38:20,079 --> 00:38:21,519
Speaker 1: Dolly. Listen, there isn't all that.

556
00:38:21,559 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 2: Much to say. With your health, Darling. The bad days

557
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,719
will become fewer fewer.

558
00:38:30,039 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: Soon you'll be gone for good, Dolly.

559
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,199
Speaker 2: I can't make it back without you.

560
00:38:34,639 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 3: I just can't. I need you, Darling. Tell me you

561
00:38:39,519 --> 00:38:41,800
love me. Tell me.

562
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,519
Speaker 1: I've been asking some questions along the line. A Vowery's

563
00:38:52,599 --> 00:38:57,280
father is doctor Royal Storic, the agricultural scientist. I know

564
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:03,039
that right after Valerie was arrested, he was arrested, so

565
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:10,400
and right after Valerie escaped he was released. All right,

566
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:15,599
what else Why is Valerie here because she escaped from prison?

567
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,000
Do you know that in the entire history of the

568
00:39:18,039 --> 00:39:22,960
present Doriage government, not one single solitary prisoner ever escaped

569
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:27,639
from their jails. What are you driving earth? Until they

570
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,199
say to her, we let it appeal that you escaped.

571
00:39:32,039 --> 00:39:36,440
Go after Senator Prentice. God it's crazy. But of course

572
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,000
he doesn't want to do it or say that for her,

573
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:46,159
but they say do it or it's Popo phase who

574
00:39:46,199 --> 00:39:49,599
has no choice. But she loves me. That doesn't matter.

575
00:39:49,679 --> 00:39:52,280
They're spinning a web around. You can't just see it.

576
00:39:52,599 --> 00:39:55,199
I refuse to believe it, you refuse to face it.

577
00:39:55,880 --> 00:40:00,519
And okay, where are you going? Marvid Marvin come not here?

578
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, it's true. Oh that's what I agreed to do.

579
00:40:15,119 --> 00:40:23,280
But but when I met you, everything was different. I hate.

580
00:40:23,079 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: You what I fell in love with you? Do you

581
00:40:27,519 --> 00:40:30,679
expect me to believe it? Yes? If you love me? Oh?

582
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,760
How could you do this to me? I try to

583
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,440
help your country. I believe in what your people are

584
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:40,280
fighting for. I believe it's my fight too. How could

585
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,000
you betray me?

586
00:40:41,159 --> 00:40:47,079
Speaker 7: I'm human, it meant saving my father and when I

587
00:40:47,199 --> 00:40:49,840
met you, I I I fell in love with you.

588
00:40:51,119 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 5: But I've I've taken care of everything.

589
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: I could be ruined.

590
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:57,559
Speaker 5: Everything is taken care of.

591
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: What what's wrong with you? Why are you superior.

592
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,119
Speaker 5: Because I've taken care of everything?

593
00:41:07,159 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 1: What does that mean? It means nothing? Who are you?

594
00:41:13,639 --> 00:41:18,199
I am, Celestie, I'm with a Doriage embassy. Let me

595
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,039
show you why you will not vote against the trade bill.

596
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,440
Just a minute. Photos of you entering this building and leaving.

597
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,480
Photos of you and miss v K Creston here in

598
00:41:30,519 --> 00:41:35,760
this room. There's nothing personal in this. Believe me. I'm

599
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:40,400
there to hand these photos to you or to the press.

600
00:41:41,039 --> 00:41:44,679
Tell me my course of action. The choice is yours. No,

601
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,599
the choice is mine, and I don't think you have

602
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,880
anything to say, and I have chosen. You're a fool.

603
00:41:54,079 --> 00:41:56,000
You know what will happen to your father?

604
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,280
Speaker 5: My father is dead. I learned this from the underground.

605
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 1: Well we don't. Where'd you get the gun? You can't

606
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:03,360
just shoot him.

607
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,039
Speaker 7: I told you I would take care of everything, So

608
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:07,079
don't talk.

609
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 3: That's for me.

610
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: Ah that my father bower you.

611
00:42:17,039 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 5: But take the papers there were futures. Leave here quickly.

612
00:42:21,079 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: No, No, I'm staying with you.

613
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:27,159
Speaker 5: I can't because because I won't. I won't be here.

614
00:42:27,199 --> 00:42:32,360
I'll be gone, Bowery. It's a little pill.

615
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,639
Speaker 7: All of us in the underground carry one, and it

616
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,360
works quickly, pleasantly.

617
00:42:41,519 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: I'll call a doctor.

618
00:42:42,639 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 5: It's too late. And it was the only way I

619
00:42:47,679 --> 00:42:49,519
said I'd fix everything.

620
00:42:49,199 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 1: Oh, darling, like quietly, maybe maybe I can still call.

621
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 5: Talk to me, tell me, answer me.

622
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:09,079
Speaker 7: Must hope, perish, must hope.

623
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: Perish level, my darling. No, it was a sensation, the

624
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,599
great underground poet of the oppressed country who killed the

625
00:43:22,639 --> 00:43:25,920
hated Minister of Justice and then took her own life.

626
00:43:26,519 --> 00:43:30,360
The senator. Oh, we may yet hear from him on

627
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:34,880
the national scene, especially since his attractive wife is such

628
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,760
a campaign asset. I'll be back in just a moment.

629
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:51,800
Must hope, perish never never, as long as are those

630
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,480
who dare to speak and those who are brave enough

631
00:43:55,519 --> 00:43:59,639
to listen, And every minute of the day there are

632
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:06,159
voice is silent voices calling for help, and sometimes if

633
00:44:06,199 --> 00:44:11,760
we listen closely, we can hear them. Our cast included

634
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:15,639
Hugh Marlowe, Marion Soldis, Ian Martin E. V Ester and

635
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,800
Robert Dryden. The entire production was under the direction of

636
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:27,639
Hyman Brown, and now a preview of our next tale.

637
00:44:28,079 --> 00:44:31,199
Sergeant Clifton, Oh, sergeant, I know you people are very busy,

638
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,320
and this is probably nothing. We'll let me judge that doctor.

639
00:44:34,519 --> 00:44:36,760
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, on the face of it, I wouldn't

640
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,519
even think that there's any significance.

641
00:44:38,559 --> 00:44:41,519
Speaker 1: Well, you must have some reason for calling me. Well,

642
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:42,280
do you.

643
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 4: Remember, sergeant, when you were in the hospital and we

644
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,880
were listening to the poor old Russian lady?

645
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: She's no better of afraid, I'm sorry to hear that. Well.

646
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:56,159
Speaker 4: I remember we were saying how things were interrelated, Yes,

647
00:44:56,639 --> 00:44:58,679
and that miss Brodie had been in here a week

648
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,920
before she died, was killed because of a severe skin irritation.

649
00:45:03,159 --> 00:45:07,079
Speaker 1: Yes, I remember. Well, she has a roommate, uh ms,

650
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:08,159
Dora Hastings.

651
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 5: Miss Hastings is here.

652
00:45:10,079 --> 00:45:14,639
Speaker 4: Now with the same skin irritation. But does it mean anything?

653
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,440
I mean from a police point of view? Am I

654
00:45:17,519 --> 00:45:18,400
wasting your time?

655
00:45:18,599 --> 00:45:21,599
