00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:04.599
<v Speaker 1>Night Beat.

2
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:23.519
<v Speaker 2>Hi, this is Randy Stone. I cover the Nightbeat to

3
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:27.320
<v Speaker 2>the Chicago Star. You know, stories start out in many

4
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:32.039
<v Speaker 2>different ways. Tonight's story started when I walked into a

5
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:35.159
<v Speaker 2>nice little guy's private world and it blew up right

6
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:35.960
<v Speaker 2>in my face.

7
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:54.320
<v Speaker 3>Nightbeat, starring Frank Lovejoy as Randy Stone.

8
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:01.079
<v Speaker 2>When the street cars and the subways spill out their

9
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:03.920
<v Speaker 2>thousands of tired ones who scurry off into a million

10
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:08.719
<v Speaker 2>directions to find home, that's when my job begins. I

11
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Speaker 2>start walking looking for my story so that you can

12
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.799
<v Speaker 2>read about it in your morning newspaper and feel good

13
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:18.719
<v Speaker 2>because it didn't happen to you. Tonight I got my

14
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:23.680
<v Speaker 2>story fast, just walking down Madison Street West away from

15
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:29.439
<v Speaker 2>the Center. I kept walking past the shooting Gallery, the

16
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.159
<v Speaker 2>Nicol Arcade with the peak shows and the fortune telling machines,

17
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 2>the juke box taverns, football Madison Street, the Quick Route,

18
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:43.799
<v Speaker 2>the happiness were the world's worst hangovers, And then straight

19
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.719
<v Speaker 2>ahead of me was Pop Gordon's training gym. That's where

20
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:50.439
<v Speaker 2>the public pays thirty cents to watch fellas training to

21
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:55.680
<v Speaker 2>beat each other's brains out. You know, when I got inside,

22
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:58.359
<v Speaker 2>it looked like just one of those fights, and then

23
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:00.760
<v Speaker 2>I heard one voice over the other. It was a

24
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:03.480
<v Speaker 2>voice on you, Carla, cops.

25
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker 4>And get that punchy loon out of here.

26
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Probably your laugh of me.

<v Speaker 1>But that's billy. Yeah, tell me, Carla, cop.

30
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Wait a second, Pop, he's all right, sure sure, listen

31
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:17.360

<v Speaker 1>bug house.

<v Speaker 5>I'm going to get the cops and heavy owl tied up.

36
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.439
<v Speaker 2>Oh wait a minute, Pop, let me talk to him.

37
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:28.719
<v Speaker 1>Man, you stay away from that log.

38
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 2>Five of us couldn't hold him. He knows me, Andy,

39
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:32.080
<v Speaker 2>The guy's gone nuts.

40
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:33.479
<v Speaker 6>Yella.

41
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Like I said, everybody's scared of get in the same billy, Billy,

42
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.240
<v Speaker 2>What hi, billy, how's it going?

43
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:41.159
<v Speaker 1>You're coming there with me?

44
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.879
<v Speaker 2>Oh sure, sure, and make me a big man getting

45
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:45.080
<v Speaker 2>into the same ring with a champ.

46
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>That's me champ, and you're a toe bit boom.

47
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Well that's a thumbnail description.

48
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.240
<v Speaker 1>If I ever heard one admit it the truth that

49
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:54.520
<v Speaker 1>to bad Bump admitted it.

50
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:56.159
<v Speaker 2>I admitted, I admitted, billy.

51
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but you're no minute, you're laughing at me. Let

52
00:02:59.280 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 1>the rest stop me.

53
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.039
<v Speaker 2>You're laughing, Billy, I never laughed at you in my life.

54
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.719
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'll show you what happens to anybody who loves

55
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:08.360
<v Speaker 1>that Billy the cancer snut.

56
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.319
<v Speaker 2>As the world flew away in all directions, I dimly

57
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:19.240
<v Speaker 2>remembered how the sports writers used to speak so respectfully

58
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 2>of Billy's fast left hand. But brother, if they know

59
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.879
<v Speaker 2>what I just found out about his right. When the

60
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 2>fog finally cleared, Pop Gordon was bending over me, and

61
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 2>there were a lot of other faces too, But I

62
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:32.199
<v Speaker 2>didn't see Billy when.

63
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:36.039
<v Speaker 1>I stood up. Okay, Randy, Oh, this.

64
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Is being okay, I don't want any part of it.

65
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.280
<v Speaker 1>He slugs you. But good? Where is he?

66
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:43.360
<v Speaker 5>I took off before the cops come, took off before

67
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 5>anybody could grab whom. I let that bum come in

68
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.120
<v Speaker 5>a gym and shit around. Everybody else plays thirty cents

69
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:50.479
<v Speaker 5>but him.

70
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:51.919
<v Speaker 1>I let him free. Was he do?

71
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Huh?

72
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:54.960
<v Speaker 1>What's she doing? But Slucy blows his top?

73
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:56.599
<v Speaker 2>But why what happened to Billy?

74
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh? I don't know.

75
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.120
<v Speaker 5>Tonight I catch him putting the bite on my customers.

76
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Too, cheer with dime there Billy was panhanps. Sure, like

77
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.719
<v Speaker 2>I said, I didn't like it, so I tell him

78
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.080
<v Speaker 2>and then I don't know. I'm over at the other

79
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.000
<v Speaker 2>side of the gym. I hear somebody laugh, and the

80
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.319
<v Speaker 2>next thing I know, the out swinging like a windmill.

81
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.000
<v Speaker 2>He's gonna kill everybody.

82
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Just for being around. You ought to be tied up.

83
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:18.879
<v Speaker 1>Uh huh, just like that.

84
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:20.079
<v Speaker 5>He ain't safe.

85
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:22.319
<v Speaker 2>But do you want the black Mariah to come around

86
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.000
<v Speaker 2>cart him away like a load of rubbish?

87
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but for his own girl, pap.

88
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.439
<v Speaker 2>Remember when he was champ he packed him in every

89
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.680
<v Speaker 2>club where he fought. He had a dollar of five

90
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:33.160
<v Speaker 2>dollars for anybody who held out a hand.

91
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Sure, what are you getting now?

92
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:36.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, now he's got no one pop and now he's

93
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:37.000
<v Speaker 2>out in the colt.

94
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

95
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I'll forget the cops.

96
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 1>But we still got to put him away.

97
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.519
<v Speaker 2>Well all right, sure, but let's do it as painless

98
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.639
<v Speaker 2>as possible. I'll keep him with me tonight and then

99
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:51.319
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow you going after him?

100
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Which way to go?

101
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.839
<v Speaker 5>Straight up the streets. But watch out, Randy, he blows.

102
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:57.920
<v Speaker 2>His I know, don't worry. I don't want any rematch.

103
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:00.120
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to know why he blew his lit the

104
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:07.040
<v Speaker 2>first place, and my jaw in the second place. I've

105
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.000
<v Speaker 2>known Billy a long time, a sweet, gentle guy who

106
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:11.639
<v Speaker 2>always seemed to be living in a world all of

107
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.160
<v Speaker 2>his own, a world that nobody else knew about and

108
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.120
<v Speaker 2>cared less. And now he was in trouble. In his mood,

109
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:20.079
<v Speaker 2>he might hurt someone.

110
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:20.759
<v Speaker 1>All worse, he.

111
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:24.399
<v Speaker 2>Might get himself hurt. I must have walked for half

112
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:26.759
<v Speaker 2>an hour before I finally spotted him. He was standing

113
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.480
<v Speaker 2>on the corner. I stopped and watched him for a

114
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:33.800
<v Speaker 2>couple of minutes. I watched his hesitant and embarrassed panhandling,

115
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:36.160
<v Speaker 2>and I walked over to him slowly.

116
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:45.399
<v Speaker 1>Hello, Billy, what? Oh hi, Hi you Randy o'palloi.

117
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:46.720
<v Speaker 2>You want some company?

118
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:47.000
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

119
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Sure, sure, righty? Why you've been keeping yourself. I've seen

120
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:53.560
<v Speaker 1>you for a couple of weeks.

121
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:56.199
<v Speaker 2>You haven't seen me for a couple of weeks.

122
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:58.279
<v Speaker 1>Well, I thought maybe you'll forget it.

123
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh, Pa, you're not the kind of a fellow one

124
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:05.639
<v Speaker 2>for against Jim. Now what was the trouble back at

125
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:05.959
<v Speaker 2>the gym?

126
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Jim? What Jim Pop Gordon's Pop's boys. Well, let's goore,

127
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:12.920
<v Speaker 1>I gotta help pop. He's a good joy.

128
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:13.160
<v Speaker 7>You know.

129
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.040
<v Speaker 1>He never charges me nothing to hold.

130
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.439
<v Speaker 2>In a second, Billy. Yeah, weren't you with the gym tonight?

131
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, not that I've been here and you didn't

132
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:30.199
<v Speaker 1>massage my chin. You're giving me a rib? What you're

133
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.000
<v Speaker 1>looking at me for? I like that, Randy, forget a Billy.

134
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>You was just ribbing.

135
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh sure, I'm just kidding.

136
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.519
<v Speaker 1>I like ribs, not giving the hot foot, nothing like that,

137
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:44.519
<v Speaker 1>but funny ribs that don't hurt nobody. Sure can? I

138
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:46.639
<v Speaker 1>asked you a sixty four dollars question? Was sure?

139
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:47.000
<v Speaker 7>Not you?

140
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.439
<v Speaker 1>You can ask me anything, Randy, anything.

141
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:53.680
<v Speaker 2>I saw you a minute ago, Billy, But I never

142
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.160
<v Speaker 2>seen you ask for a touch before.

143
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I ain't never gone to do it no more. But Randy,

<v Speaker 2>Billy said he'd kill anybody who'd try to stop him

304
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:47.799
<v Speaker 2>from seeing missus Wilder Compton.

305
00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:50.360
<v Speaker 1>I looked at his scarred.

306
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:53.399
<v Speaker 2>Facing, into his eyes a wild fever you see in

307
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:55.759
<v Speaker 2>the eyes of a dog everyone says is mad, but

308
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:57.279
<v Speaker 2>only wants a drink of water.

309
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:02.679
<v Speaker 1>And then I guess I shouldn't have said that, Randy. Well,

310
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:05.200
<v Speaker 1>let's forget it for a minute, Billy, and tell me

311
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:09.120
<v Speaker 1>why do you want to see it? You don't understand

312
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Dave's Eh, No, my mother never told me. Well, she

313
00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:15.360
<v Speaker 1>gives me the brush, see like I tell you, she

314
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:17.919
<v Speaker 1>gives me the brush, but she does it for me. See,

315
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.440
<v Speaker 1>she don't want me to get my brains knocked out.

316
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:23.039
<v Speaker 2>See yeah, I'm beginning to see Billy.

317
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Sure, But me, I got no sense, so so I

318
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:26.559
<v Speaker 1>don't see it her way.

319
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:28.679
<v Speaker 2>So I let her walk out, and I don't see

320
00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:30.799
<v Speaker 2>it no more, not until I got hold of that

321
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:34.720
<v Speaker 2>paper today and tonight you want to see it to say, what, Billy?

322
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.120
<v Speaker 1>But don't you see she loves me all these years,

323
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.399
<v Speaker 1>she never lets up. But I want to tell her.

324
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.960
<v Speaker 2>It's okay that maybe her and me we can start

325
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:52.039
<v Speaker 2>all over. Like, see, what's the matter Randy? Nothing nothing, Billy. Look,

326
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.120
<v Speaker 2>don't let anybody kid you. Patty was still champion.

327
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:59.559
<v Speaker 1>Oh nothing, But I gotta go. No, I gotta get

328
00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:01.759
<v Speaker 1>fifteen bucks for us. Now. Look, look, you're tired. You

329
00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:03.399
<v Speaker 1>need a shave. Maybe take a shower.

330
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:06.200
<v Speaker 2>You thought of that? No, all right, now you wait

331
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:08.000
<v Speaker 2>here and take a shower and a shave, and I'll

332
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:09.640
<v Speaker 2>bring a suit back for Is that a deal?

333
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:12.799
<v Speaker 1>Hot? Gee? You're a champ r and there are a

334
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:13.519
<v Speaker 1>real chat.

335
00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:15.119
<v Speaker 2>I might be going for a little while, Billy, but

336
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:16.799
<v Speaker 2>when I come back, everything will be okay.

337
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:18.559
<v Speaker 1>Sure, okay.

338
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:25.519
<v Speaker 2>There was only one thing for me to do, go

339
00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:28.960
<v Speaker 2>and see missus Water Company. I made sure that Billy

340
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:31.559
<v Speaker 2>couldn't leave my apartment. I locked the door from the outside.

341
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:33.599
<v Speaker 2>I didn't want him picked up before he had the

342
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:36.440
<v Speaker 2>chance to see her, to see the woman around whom

343
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:38.599
<v Speaker 2>he'd build a whole world of fantasy in which he

344
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:41.799
<v Speaker 2>lived for so many years. I didn't want that world

345
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:46.079
<v Speaker 2>to come down around his ears. My newspaper pass got

346
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:48.559
<v Speaker 2>me in to see missus Walder Coompton and he's.

347
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Suite at the lake Shore.

348
00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:52.200
<v Speaker 2>You're mister Stone, Yes I am, Missus Compton.

349
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:53.359
<v Speaker 6>You're from the newspaper.

350
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:55.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm not on newspaper business, Missus Compton.

351
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:57.599
<v Speaker 1>Not tonight. This is more personal.

352
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:00.200
<v Speaker 4>Really, well, what.

353
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.839
<v Speaker 1>Can I do for me? Nothing?

354
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:04.799
<v Speaker 6>Then, please get to the point, mister Still, My husband

355
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:05.920
<v Speaker 6>will be here shorty with guests.

356
00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:08.279
<v Speaker 1>How soon now? Why?

357
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, because it concerns someone you used to know. Really

358
00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:19.200
<v Speaker 2>who Billy Candell? Billy Candell as he was better known

359
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:21.640
<v Speaker 2>as Billy the Kid wants middleweight Champion.

360
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Of the world forgotten?

361
00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:28.039
<v Speaker 2>And I was glad to Missus Compton. He's coming here

362
00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:28.720
<v Speaker 2>tonight to see you.

363
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:34.559
<v Speaker 1>What he's coming? How stupid can you get?

364
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:36.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, for a lot of people, it's not hired to

365
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:37.960
<v Speaker 2>be stupid or heartless.

366
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:40.799
<v Speaker 6>Yours must be a rather sentimental column.

367
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Mister, Yes, it's about people. Better go look, please see Billy.

368
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:47.559
<v Speaker 1>What can you lose?

369
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:48.599
<v Speaker 4>It's out of the question.

370
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Listen. All he wants is to tell you something. He

371
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:55.160
<v Speaker 2>wants to tell you that that he knows that you

372
00:18:55.359 --> 00:19:01.519
<v Speaker 2>still love him. What No, I listen to me. Please

373
00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:05.079
<v Speaker 2>to tomorrow. He is going to well, he's going where

374
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:06.039
<v Speaker 2>he can rest.

375
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:08.319
<v Speaker 1>He's sick. Missus Compton. He's desperately sick.

376
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:10.799
<v Speaker 6>Let's not be so polite. The word is punch drunk.

377
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:13.440
<v Speaker 6>I believe you want me to see a lunatic.

378
00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:15.799
<v Speaker 2>No, he's not, and I'll be here when he comes.

379
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:16.759
<v Speaker 2>We'll keep it between us.

380
00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Three.

381
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what you're asking as I'm asking you

382
00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:20.640
<v Speaker 2>to give a guy a few minutes of his world,

383
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:23.759
<v Speaker 2>make it real for him, tell him anything that, tell

384
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:26.079
<v Speaker 2>him you still love him. Then he'll go away after tomorrow.

385
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:27.759
<v Speaker 2>You'll never see him or hear from him again.

386
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:30.960
<v Speaker 6>You're asking me to receive that that thing, to bring

387
00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:32.880
<v Speaker 6>him into this hotel where everyone can see him.

388
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:35.240
<v Speaker 4>Do you know what that means or to him?

389
00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:38.319
<v Speaker 6>Yes, I'm talking about myself myself.

390
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Mister SDEs I'd like to get off that subject from.

391
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:41.720
<v Speaker 4>Me, the only subject that matters.

392
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:44.440
<v Speaker 2>If you don't see him, he'll crack up all the

393
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.359
<v Speaker 2>way that happened long ago. Good evening, misters, done, three

394
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:48.079
<v Speaker 2>minutes of your time.

395
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:49.920
<v Speaker 4>I said no, did you hear mister Stone?

396
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:54.480
<v Speaker 2>I said no, Okay, Lenny, I'm going I thank you

397
00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:55.559
<v Speaker 2>for everything that's been lovely.

398
00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:58.480
<v Speaker 4>He needn't be a sarcastic misde.

399
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Queeney. I got a little spot announcement for you, Billy,

400
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:04.599
<v Speaker 2>ow's you a voted thanks. You'll never know it, but

401
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:05.960
<v Speaker 2>she gave him the biggest break of his life, and

402
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:09.599
<v Speaker 2>you walked out on him years ago. Yes, positively, tonight

403
00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:10.920
<v Speaker 2>you given him even a bigger break.

404
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:12.759
<v Speaker 1>Tell me about it, mister Stille.

405
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I'll tell you. The only thing that poor guys

406
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:17.240
<v Speaker 2>got left is this memory of a girl named Didn't it?

407
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:20.359
<v Speaker 2>Any resemblance between that memory and you? Was strictly coincidental?

408
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:20.759
<v Speaker 1>Goodbye?

409
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:29.119
<v Speaker 2>I was glad to get out in the fresh air.

410
00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:33.319
<v Speaker 2>All the way back to my apartment, I kept thinking

411
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:36.640
<v Speaker 2>of what I'd tell Billy, how i'd tell him. Then,

412
00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:39.359
<v Speaker 2>as I walked across the lobby toward the elevator, mister Saul,

413
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:42.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh what is it, Charlie, here's a message for it. Okay,

414
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:48.480
<v Speaker 2>you are stone, Thank you? How long ago he leave this?

415
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:51.559
<v Speaker 1>Oh? What? Just a few minutes after you left? Did

416
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:52.640
<v Speaker 1>you know you left him locked in?

417
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:54.319
<v Speaker 2>He called out? He asked me to open the Did

418
00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:56.519
<v Speaker 2>he say where he was going? No? No, no, just

419
00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:57.920
<v Speaker 2>that he couldn't wait for you any long. Now, that

420
00:20:58.160 --> 00:20:58.640
<v Speaker 2>is on the note.

421
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:00.200
<v Speaker 1>How do you look? How do you look? Well?

422
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, anything unusual about him? No, he had on

423
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:05.440
<v Speaker 2>one of your suit I remember now that that pinstripe

424
00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:07.359
<v Speaker 2>one he must have stolen. Now, he didn't steal anything.

425
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:09.839
<v Speaker 2>Now listen to me. I'm going to the lake Shore Hotel.

426
00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:11.640
<v Speaker 2>If he comes back here, get in touch with me there.

427
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:12.759
<v Speaker 2>Missus Compton's sweet.

428
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:13.759
<v Speaker 1>This is Compton Sweet.

429
00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, oh, and listen, I think you'd better call the police,

430
00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:18.599
<v Speaker 2>but ask for Colsky, remember that Colskey. Tell him to

431
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:19.759
<v Speaker 2>meet me at the lake Shore Hotel.

432
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:20.440
<v Speaker 1>And quickly.

433
00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:25.160
<v Speaker 2>I took a cab and I took the shortest way

434
00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:27.160
<v Speaker 2>to the lake Shore, and I watched the pavements looking

435
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:29.480
<v Speaker 2>for Billy, but I didn't see him. He had some

436
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:31.400
<v Speaker 2>money on him and he must have taken a cab himself.

437
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:34.119
<v Speaker 2>And then I was back at the lake Shore talking

438
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:35.240
<v Speaker 2>with the clerk at the desk there.

439
00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:38.880
<v Speaker 7>Yes, sir, there was a man here that description. He

440
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:41.359
<v Speaker 7>asked her to call be put through to missus Compton Sweet.

441
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:45.319
<v Speaker 7>And was it well, sir, he was a rather we yes, yes,

442
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:47.079
<v Speaker 7>I know, I know. So he didn't get through.

443
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:47.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh.

444
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:49.839
<v Speaker 7>I called Missus Compton Sweep myself and told her that

445
00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:51.240
<v Speaker 7>is I described the man.

446
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Yes, go ahead, what'd you say that? On no account?

447
00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:55.559
<v Speaker 1>Was I to put him through or send him upstairs?

448
00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:57.559
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, okay, that's something.

449
00:21:57.640 --> 00:21:57.960
<v Speaker 2>What do you do?

450
00:21:58.039 --> 00:21:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Then you'd have to meet it? Which way?

451
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:02.440
<v Speaker 7>I'm afraid I didn't know, Sir. I was registering some

452
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:03.799
<v Speaker 7>new guests, and I paid no attention.

453
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:04.799
<v Speaker 1>Okay, thank you very much.

454
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.079
<v Speaker 2>I had to find Billy before, well before what what

455
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:14.279
<v Speaker 2>would he do? Where would he go? I asked myself

456
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:17.119
<v Speaker 2>those questions as I walked slowly along, watching for him,

457
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:20.440
<v Speaker 2>hoping to see that pathetic figure in my pin striped suit,

458
00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:23.039
<v Speaker 2>hoping i'd get to him before someone else stopped him.

459
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:26.160
<v Speaker 2>I was afraid of what might happen or could happen.

460
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:30.319
<v Speaker 2>And then I saw him just past the Lake Shore Hotel,

461
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.759
<v Speaker 2>shambling slowly along, his shoulders hunched against the wind that cut.

462
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:34.279
<v Speaker 1>In off the lake.

463
00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:37.680
<v Speaker 2>I ran and caught up with him. Billy, helly.

00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:08.200
<v Speaker 2>nailed to a cross. Love is the greatest thing, the
