Speaker 1: Come in welcome.
Speaker 2: I'm g marshall.
Speaker 1: What is your pleasure this time?
Speaker 2: How about a little murder with mystic overtones? Not to
mention a.
Speaker 1: Most unusual motive?
Speaker 2: Why do men kill in the ordinary way? For money,
for power, for women?
Speaker 1: And then we have those who kill full revenge, or
out of jealousy, or because they are consumed with hatred
or driven insane by emotions.
Speaker 2: Moving along, we.
Speaker 1: Even have those idealistic spirits who.
Speaker 3: Will kill you for your own goods, because you are
too opt to accept their religion or their way of life,
which they insist is better than yours.
Speaker 1: With all of.
Speaker 2: These we are more or less familiar. But did you
ever hear of a man who was killed because the
murderer wanted his talent?
Speaker 1: You're about to? Don't kill me.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, fred I I really don't want to.
Speaker 1: I have money to take my money, and I don't
want your money.
Speaker 2: You can have my job, you can have a great career,
and I was already.
Speaker 1: I'll give you everything I own. It's not enough, it's
not enough, but I am rich. It's not enough. But
what do you want? I want everything? You are, everything
you are.
Speaker 2: Our mystery drama, a death of Kings was written especially
for the mystery theater IF by Bam Dan and Sars Mercedes,
my Cambridge.
Speaker 1: His name is Frederick Quarling, and you've never noticed them
in the crowd.
Speaker 2: He's not much to look at, middle aged, stoop shouldered, nearsighted.
He spends his days in a science laboratory at one
of our great state universities, teaching serious younger versions of himself,
men and women who in twenty years will become what
he is now. Of the estimated three billion people who
inhabit this planet, less than a thousand would possess even
a glimmer of an understanding of what he's talking about.
It's an almost metaphysical mixture of physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology. Well,
that's how he spends his days lecturing. However, he spends
his nights listening to a lecture, and it's usually a
variation on the same theme.
Speaker 1: Well, that the sense is over, wasn't he We knew
all along Contart would be made head of the department. Well, Emma,
after all, after all, class.
Speaker 4: The second time in twelve years you've been passed over.
But that you good old patients plotting. Frederick Quarling nobody
ever has to worry about fearful Freddie.
Speaker 1: He won't get mad, he won't quit, So I accuse him,
abuse him. Now, my dear, I'm not aware that I've
abused or abused. Indeed, in the department everyone is the
whole could to promote Clontarf, who doesn't have.
Speaker 5: Half your seniority, Emma, dear, seniority every Oh no.
Speaker 1: No, well then there must be something new. I see.
Speaker 4: In the early days you said you were passed over
because you had no seniority, and now that you have
more than anybody else, suddenly seniority doesn't matter, am I?
Speaker 1: It's complicated? Oh it isn't it very simple? You know
as well as I do that to be the department
heads you have to be a full professor. Oh, let's
not start rubbing salt him that wound. But am I
the most brilliant man in the field, and you're only
an associate professor? Amare? We go through this again and again,
and really you know why I'm not a full professor? Well,
maybe you're satisfied being pushed around. His sudden furious outbursts
have been known to create such serious imbalance. Well, I'm right,
you know, I'm right. It's pure and plain and simple
justice chemically, who wished death from oxygen deprivation?
Speaker 4: Oh, I'll die and it's going to be the perfect
crime if you'll kill me.
Speaker 1: But who could prove it? What's the district attorney going
to say, your honor? He willed art it death? He
got hurt so mad. There is a logical, reasonable explanation
why I cannot be head of the department. Well, I
don't want to hear it. I can't be head of
the department unless I'm a full professor. And I won't
be appointed full professor because well, I haven't published anything,
and why not? Because why not? Look at the trite
those other men.
Speaker 5: Right precisely, And I won't publish unless it's something meaningful, meaningful.
Speaker 1: Why the work you're doing I refuse to publish, to
set forth certain? Why? Why? I'll tell you why I've
been conducting experiments that I but I would never say
that except in the privacy of my own home and
to my own wife. I realize how this might sound
to venge it, but I am now at a point
gone beyond the limits of present science city knowledge. Well,
aren't you going to say anything? What do you want
me to say I know how that's so?
Speaker 6: Is it?
Speaker 1: If I'm insane? How can any man presume to say
that he knows more than if it's true? Why shouldn't
he say it? Is it true? Ah? Yes, yes, I'm afraid. True,
you're afraid. Why are you afraid? Because no man should
know but I But you do know it, and that's
why you should publish. No, no, never, I'm afraid that
if I publish what I know now, it could very
well mean the end of the world. I don't care. Oh,
you scient you always talk like that. It's so ridiculous.
The world goes on. But see here's that you'll have paid.
You can destroy the world. Don't let that stop it?
Oh what is the world to me? What do you?
Speaker 4: The way things are now, You're becoming the laughing talk
of the college, and I'm becoming a taudy old hag.
Speaker 1: And I'm not even forty. No, my dear, what you're
the world's.
Speaker 4: Most brilliant SCIENTI I wouldn't say you should have recognition.
Speaker 1: You should be internationally faithful. There are people who know
about me, more about me.
Speaker 4: I want some fun in my life, some excitement. I
want to stop squeezing dollars and hoarding pennies. I don't want
to be interesting and important threatful. I want if you
just start publishing.
Speaker 1: Is it possible that you don't understand? I told you
if I were to publish my findings, it could very
well mean the end of the world. Who cares, as
long as you get credit for it. But what's this?
We'll call a hut?
Speaker 5: Listen as if we wish somebody Now, Now, Emma, we
are important.
Speaker 1: Everyone thinks highly. Are you kidding? Well? Are you even
curious about what I've pose? Who's at the door?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 5: Oh, yes, I know who's at the door, you do.
It's Eric Ali Alexander Thorn here.
Speaker 1: You never heard of me. He's one of my students,
one of my graduate students. Bridget celebrity. Uh yes, And
he's having some financial difficulties, so I told him he
could stay here for a while. You what, but we
do have a spare room. Well, you just tell him
he should have no place to say? What am I
running here a hotel? He has to leave college. A
brilliant mind will be lost to time. The science has
so many brilliant minds. Now you just tell him you
made a mistake.
Speaker 7: Am I, you go ahead take me to Villain to
tell him that your wife hits approve.
Speaker 1: But Emma, this young man must have a play.
Speaker 6: You won't tell him?
Speaker 1: Oh right, I'll tell him. I'm coming where out the bell?
Look here, I missus Farling, and I'm want to tell
you that it's goodn't think I'm so happy to meet you.
It's a pleasure.
Speaker 2: I thought Doctor Sparling had told me all about you,
But I see now he's he's really told me. Not.
Speaker 1: Is that Alex thorn Hill?
Speaker 2: El, yes, it's uh, it's Alex, professor.
Speaker 1: I. Emma, mister Alex Thornhill, Alex, my wife. How do
you do? Have you uh had your supper? Frankly?
Speaker 2: No, am I we should have quite a bit of
the rose glass.
Speaker 1: Why don't you fix the Vypralex for lights into the
stair room?
Speaker 2: Well, Alex, I thought you were bringing all of your things.
I did everything I own in the world.
Speaker 1: In that little sax. Let me get your room ready,
and meanwhile you jusn get acquainted.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, Yeah, he didn't ask you.
Speaker 1: Uh huh, what do you mean?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Well, I can tell you're not over joyed to have
me stay here. Oh do you say that? Are you
sure I won't feel the way? Why would you see
in the way?
Speaker 2: Or has the feeling?
Speaker 1: No? Actually, we have a big house here and we
should share it with Well, you must be hungry. I'm starved.
I'm sorry because I don't think you'll enjoy a dinner.
Oh why not?
Speaker 7: Or the professor has all kinds of quirky dayas things.
He has a peculiar nervous system. He can't have dogs,
or spices or anything that's good. We have a pretty
tasteless squeezing around here.
Speaker 1: And besides, I'm a terrible cook.
Speaker 2: I admire women who can't cook, You do sure, because
they've been putting their time to better use.
Speaker 8: I have a feeling that I've been standing in a
peat bog for the past fifteen years.
Speaker 1: Why did I say that? Probably because it's true. Of
course it's true. It has no reason to flirt it
out to a perfect stranger. Am I really a stranger?
I don't know what's the matter with me. I met
you just a couple.
Speaker 4: Of minutes ago, and here I am just about ready
to tell you the story of my life.
Speaker 2: Oh I'd love to hear it.
Speaker 1: You probably know it dating caging wife as an obscure
prophetic I'll forget it. Do you take half of your king?
May I call you Emma? You can stand it. Emma
happened to be my favorite name?
Speaker 2: How could Emma be anybody's favorite name?
Speaker 1: It has such a school teacher made a nant sort
of ringto it.
Speaker 2: Emma was the name of my favorite English queen. Am
I yes, forget Elizabeth and Victoria. Emma was the most
spectacular of them all. Oh what a woman, wife, two kings,
mother of two kings, seductive William wants them. Emma the
last great Saxon Queen of England. And you remind me
of Emma, you seek to It's she we a friend
of yours. There are times when I actually feel close
to her now, for instance, do you suppose that you
could be the reincarnation of Emma's impossible? Why every one
of us is the reincarnation of someone else.
Speaker 1: You can't be serious. I'm always serious. Now, don't let
Fred hear you talk? And I can't. Why not?
Speaker 2: What do you think the good Professor Sparling is really
talking about in his advanced feminar reincarnation?
Speaker 1: You can't be serious? Fred? A believer in reincarnation.
Speaker 2: Oh, he wouldn't call it that. He ties it behind
formula and equations. But it's just the form of reincarnation.
Speaker 1: Why jute and his.
Speaker 2: Purposeful reincarnation instead of the hit and mishap hazard thing
that exists in nation?
Speaker 4: And I could be the reincarnation of Queen Emma.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, uh huh. How would you know come here? No, don't.
Speaker 2: It's because because.
Speaker 1: It's because he might come downstairs. Really listen, I love
and besides, I hardly even know you know me? You
knew me? Thank you, Thank you. No, I don't believe
a word of what you're saying. I need you. I
always mean. What are you're talking about?
Speaker 2: I wished you last time. I didn't realize what you
could do for me.
Speaker 1: You must be crazy. Are you listening to what you say?
It was a thousand years ago.
Speaker 2: I was ignorant, I was arrogant. I wanted to own
the world, but I didn't know how.
Speaker 1: And much do you want with me? You're hardly more
than a boy.
Speaker 2: I'm older than I look, and you're not as old
as you look. Thank you, Robert. I have a secret
magic formula make you look younger.
Speaker 1: You're younger.
Speaker 2: Come here, and you don't have to talk.
Speaker 1: Ali Ah, No, look at yourself.
Speaker 2: Look in the mirror, look at your eyes, your face.
Speaker 1: Fred trying.
Speaker 2: It looks sure in my mom my darling. But it's
necessary for him to die.
Speaker 1: In any of that die. Fred has to die. Why
why did you have to die?
Speaker 2: Because you shall be depelled to kill him?
Speaker 1: Yeh have to do Fred, Yes, but I see you
do it, getting along famously. Well, your room is ready
for you, Alex. Thank you, you know, Amma dolling. I
was sure you're approve of Alex. I was convinced you
like him.
Speaker 2: The amenities, the nice it is the small talk that
makes up so much of the ritual of our lives.
Speaker 1: I was sure you to prove him.
Speaker 2: I was convinced you like Alix. If the good Professor
only knew how much Emma approved of and liked Alix,
you may find out when I come back shortly with
that too. I suppose it's the story of the world
who genius is often overlooked and must labor in obscurity,
while Sam and Fraud receive the rewards of the genuine article. However,
as they say, virtue is its own reward and its
usual enough for.
Speaker 1: The truly virtuous.
Speaker 2: For Professor Frederick Sparling, enough is as good as a feast.
He has his works, he has his wife, he has
his home, and he even.
Speaker 1: Has his disciples.
Speaker 2: Can the true man of learning ask for more?
Speaker 9: I have read.
Speaker 10: Him?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, sisit me, my lady, his me? What
hastity to do with the line of success? And please
my lady?
Speaker 6: Please?
Speaker 1: Oh hu kill him?
Speaker 6: So no killing him?
Speaker 1: My dear wake up here? What what he wants? Wake up?
But what do you want? What's the mary? Are you
you were having a nightmare? I was, Oh, yes, it
was so real. I know, you know, until he became disturbed,
it was. It must have been a splendid dream. I
could hear what you were saying?
Speaker 5: What was I saying? You seem to be a famous
namesake of yours, Emma, of Normandy, who married first King
Ethelred and then King Canooth.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, that was a dream.
Speaker 2: Well, now what could possibly cause you to have such
a dream?
Speaker 1: Friend? How long is Alex going to stay with us?
I don't know what, because I don't think it's a
good idea. Don't you like Alex? I do? A young
person about the house seems to make things more cheerful,
young person. It isn't as if we were ready for
our social security? Who are matured, settled fit? How long
do you want him to stay? But he practically pays
his way, He makes herself useful about the house. He
kicks this thing said, I would rather that he left her.
Why what objections can you make against me, Alex? I
don't think he's coming to a place like this is
such a good idea? Why not? Well, really we shouldn't
be seen together. Who's going to see it? When is
the last time he went out there? I don't remember.
Speaker 2: When is the last time you had a Oh?
Speaker 1: I can't remember a I want to tell you something.
Do you want me to leave her house? How did
you know? Because you're being Emma queen, Emma Elly, don't.
Speaker 2: You see how your life runs parallel? She was also
married to a friend's falling, except his name was Ethel.
Speaker 1: Ethel read the well, how can it be anything else?
His world's telaboy about her. She knew what to do,
She prepared for the future, and so when her husband
died providentially, they say she may have had a hand here.
Why are we talking about this?
Speaker 2: Is it painful people don't die.
Speaker 1: Oh, now I know you're crazy.
Speaker 2: Outer shell, the hull, the husk that wears us, But
what's inside can never be destroyed.
Speaker 11: Me.
Speaker 1: It's me taking the.
Speaker 2: Genie or the Vincia Beethoven, the evil of a themetic shee.
Speaker 1: What happened? It goes on living, It finds itself another shell,
another husk, another covering, another contemporary shelter. You can't do that?
Why have to? Doesn't it make you? Could have been ever?
Emma of Normandy. I am not the kind of woman
who leaves her husband. Even if you're unhappy. I'm more
than just unhappy. I'm frustrated and I'm bitter and I oh,
what's the difference. I made a vow, so did Emma.
If I hear one more word about Emma of Normandy, I'll.
Speaker 2: Walk out of this place.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm asking. Here's your look around. You will look
at all these really attractive girls, some of them are
half my age. Look at how they're looking at you
so boldly. You're inviting me. Why do you want me?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 1: I know you're a problem. You're afraid. This is just
a lark for me, And when it's over, I'll walk
out on twelve, won't you? No, I couldn't, because after
Fred is gone, I'll need you more than ever. Why
do you keep saying after he's gone? Because he has
gom I demand the corona of the castle and the advocation.
Speaker 6: Of the throne.
Speaker 1: Well, isn't your antic hurled on heavy boulders, pour a
boiling pitch from the battles, and Emma fees silent.
Speaker 4: I will not be silent while the blood thirsting fighting pirates.
That's what he is, that's all he is. He will
not take away my kingdom. Beeful, guess I am the king?
Then act like a king.
Speaker 1: But what am I to do? Mont your horse, lead
your troops through the gates and conquer attacks.
Speaker 10: He's a king, attack like, yes, what I shall have
to consult with my conqueror, and meanwhile we shall lose
the kingdom.
Speaker 1: No, we shall consult and discuss and hold a party.
What a good answer that some care.
Speaker 5: Let your sword answer him, Let your sword find his
hot blood.
Speaker 1: Emma, I must listen to.
Speaker 4: My counsel, and our counsel that is ignorant half with
his Straitoress.
Speaker 1: Now, Emma, really you have said too much?
Speaker 6: What a your answer?
Speaker 1: Without storm again.
Speaker 5: We answer, But, my dear, Emma, one simply does not
make a sharp one hundred.
Speaker 1: NAT's a great turn and change the direction of one's life.
Of one does if one's life depends on it. Emma,
my dear, I think you've put some salt into the
soup of fred. We have to break out of here
this house. But this house is our home, it's our castle.
Don't take cattle, but we simply cannot pick up and live?
Why not? For one thing? I would have to consult
with some people?
Speaker 4: Consult Why whose business is it but ours? And I
want you to stop teaching? Stop teaching?
Speaker 1: How would I do that? Very simply to resigns. I'll
try the lyric for you? And what would I do
to earn a living? You could write about the things
you know, things no one else does. Those are dangerous
thing good in the whole world of how to read them?
What I know? In the hands of an unscrupulous man
could uh he could own the world. How he could
simply say, obey me, or you will cease to exist?
Then why don't you say it?
Speaker 4: Because I I can't fly, can't you?
Speaker 1: Because I can't even explain this? Try it's not don't
you see a man isn't just what he knows. What
he knows is a.
Speaker 5: Part, dynamic, part of everything that combines to make his personality.
Speaker 1: This knowledge is only a part of me. There's the
rest of me. And what I am prevents me from
being ruthless when I can do it for you? Fred? Oh, Fred,
aren't you sick of seeing nobody? Well? I don't feel
that I'm wo that character at the collegue. Oh, sure
there's old Fred Farling. Oh you're hardly forty five harmless.
The old Fred.
Speaker 4: Teaches our seminars, play up in the clouds, all that
theoretical stuff.
Speaker 1: There's no practical appetite.
Speaker 5: Now, am I your beginning to secret a dregaline? I
know that's too much what you teck. It's eas enough
for two yours. Never closed your heart, eat your post,
your respiration, Oh damn that thread. Those are the vital
signs of life. Don't you ever get mad?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: See more points your anger? Well maybe's it will make
him had nor stop pupil alick, Oh, brilliant man.
Speaker 2: It's more than my STARp Pupil. He's my decisi so much.
Speaker 4: The worse Alex his life depends on your generosity.
Speaker 1: Without you, his education would be finished. Now, please, em
My one doesn't flam shot because out you, he wouldn't
have a face to sleep. We are commanded by a
higher power than ourselves to share what we have.
Speaker 2: It's our beauty to share.
Speaker 1: Is it, of course? Everything? Yes, we must share everything
we have, even our wives. What what did you say?
I want to know if a man is required to
share his wife? Golly, what does this have to do
with everything?
Speaker 4: From the charitable goodness of your heart, you have given
Alex the place to sleep, and from the moment he
crossed your threshold, he has been trying to sleep with me.
Speaker 1: Now, Fred, what do you say to that?
Speaker 2: There are an infinite number of replies a man can
make from his wife. Says what we just heard Emma say.
While killing would say I was congratulating, He could say,
well that's gratitude. Or he could say, you must admit
my friend has excellent taste. Who knows we all will
when I returned shortly with a three. While certain primitive
tribes consider women as communal property and the greatest.
Speaker 1: Honor you can show a man is to accept his wife,
this custom is not true of our.
Speaker 2: Own society, or at least we.
Speaker 1: Don't think so. Therefore, when Emma suggested to Fred that
Alex was attempting to create what the French, who always
have a charming name for these things, call a managatois,
Fred's first reaction was, Amma, my dear, I was aware
of it. You were You knew that. I'm a scientist.
And what after all, the science is observation, observation and deduction,
and you can just sit there and eat your tooth.
Why not, delicious suit, Alex is trying to get me
to betray you. That's a charming, old fashioned term.
Speaker 4: Oh, I can't believe for having a conversation. Why because
you're incredible?
Speaker 1: Would you feel better if I commanded Alex to leave
the house and you should do something?
Speaker 5: Now, you should do something. You should either discourage him
or what? Well, my dear, you medium k that's a lie?
Speaker 1: If you want it, does it matter where you haven't
here or somewhere else. I want to do something about
us if he's telling me you can be.
Speaker 4: The most powerful man in the world, and how can
I be satisfied just to get to tell you do nothing?
Speaker 5: Tell your home grud Emma let me tell you that
scientists labor in the darkness. Now, then faith, providence, the
higher power gives us a sudden, searing flash of insight
for a brief, awful moment, the curtain is drawn and the.
Speaker 1: Brilliant light of knowledge is burned into the soul. Perhaps
it was a joke, a joke, the less your joke to.
Speaker 2: Make that revelation to me.
Speaker 1: Perhaps it was known that I that I wouldn't. I
couldn't excuse it beautiful saying you're convinced me. You know
what the one needs to make a beautiful she has
to be secure in the knowledge that a man loves her.
I always knew that Fred loves me. He doesn't count,
I said, a man. I know what you're saying, and
I know what you mean, and I believe you. You sure,
It isn't the wine talking, It's me talking. Emma's Sparling,
formerly Emma of Normandy. Do you really believe you were
Emma of Normandy?
Speaker 8: You were the one who convinced me of it originally?
But does it matter if it's true or not? I
feel like a Normandy.
Speaker 1: Then you know what we have to do with Fred?
Leave him, break out his Yeah, right, We can go
anywhere in the world anyway, you say, wonderful, not that.
I ask the question money. What do we do for money?
Like the pirates of old who will demand tribute, to
pay or be destroyed? And then how can that be?
Speaker 2: A fread can do that for it, Fred, That's part
of Fred that knows how to do it.
Speaker 1: Fred told, I know what freads cold.
Speaker 2: I know Fred's problem, his mal his ethical his personal problem.
He refuses to use the knowledge that would in one
favor I seek, but I can't help.
Speaker 1: How would it do? Is it in a formula or
something like that? Owner, No, it's nothing like that. It
exists in his consciousness.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's just his personality. I need to take those from him.
I'm not hearing you. Why we can transpland the heart
from one body to another, a kidney, other organs? Why not?
My talent? Talent is what? It's a quality. If people
have it, it exists, it can be removed. How do
you know? Bread toast? Fred showed me he should. Yes.
In the laugh. On animals, I don't believe. Listen, we
have made vicious.
Speaker 2: Dogs out of calm dogs, smart dogs out of stupid dogs,
and the other way around.
Speaker 1: But that some legal the mentality, the personality.
Speaker 2: He knows how to isolate those forces and transplant them.
Speaker 1: How have my surgery? How could you ever perform an operations?
I don't believe it. What will happen to Fred after
you fill be dead? But that's mad, that's freedom, freedom
for you and me.
Speaker 12: He has unbelievable powers. This psychic surgery is the least
of them. He could rule the world. He has scoop.
I have no scooples.
Speaker 1: No, what are you saying? I I say, when more coffee? Darling? Oh, yes, yes,
I think so. Uh. I don't understand why I said
the drowsy I maybe maybe you will wake me up?
Speaker 2: Here you are, sir? I have some papers they should
go over this evening.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yes, professor. We really should check the results
of us experiment. And if you're feeling up to it. Oh,
I'll be perfectly all right as soon as I oh
he and uh m, duct yes, but a bit too deeply,
too much of that? What should we do? It's all right,
you'll come around.
Speaker 2: We only need him to be semi conscious.
Speaker 1: How are you going to hand me those needles? No? No, no, no, no,
one at a time. All right, I'll cut away a
sleep a careful, careful now, swathing on with the alcohol
and let me just flunge home there, m and Creighton
up please, it's right now. Hand me the needle on
the other end of that wire. You did you did
like a blood transfusion? No, no, how can it be
a blood transfusion. It's not a pube, but it's a wire. Here.
Speaker 2: Swap my arm with alcohol.
Speaker 1: Yes, and to hand me the needle. Be careful.
Speaker 2: I know how to do this.
Speaker 1: And you told me that Fred will be dead afterwards.
Speaker 2: Well, the police memory, the doctor will see only natural
causes heart fad.
Speaker 1: You're shot.
Speaker 2: No way to prove murder. Now get that little box
that I get on.
Speaker 1: The shelf quickly.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm coming to glory about when this is over,
I'll be unconscious.
Speaker 1: You remember what you have to do. He's waking up. No, no, no,
he's just coming around the way I want him. What
do you have to do afterwards?
Speaker 9: I have to remove the needles and take the box
everything we're used and hide them.
Speaker 1: And you got it?
Speaker 9: Yes, Then I call the doctor because most of you
will be unconscious.
Speaker 2: You will tell the doctor that we collapse.
Speaker 1: Ye, And that's all we will do until I become
