1
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: Come in welcome. I'm eu G Marshall, your chaperone. At

2
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,159
these arcane rebels, which are celebrated here seven times each week,

3
00:00:33,799 --> 00:00:37,399
there's the smile of love and the smile of deceit,

4
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:44,960
and the smile of smiles where both smiles meet. Why

5
00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:49,439
are love and deceit so often found together? Must we

6
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,600
deceive to love? Or do we love to deceive? But

7
00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:58,920
where you find love and deceit together, they do not

8
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:05,760
usually remain alone. Often this duet becomes a trio, and

9
00:01:05,879 --> 00:01:09,400
the third member turns out to be death.

10
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: How do you render justice in your country?

11
00:01:13,599 --> 00:01:15,879
Speaker 3: We have courts, courts.

12
00:01:16,079 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 4: Halls where people assemble, and we have judges, jeuries, lawyers.

13
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 5: Ah.

14
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: Yes, is it wise to allow people to judge people?

15
00:01:27,239 --> 00:01:29,799
Speaker 6: It is the best way, the most democratic.

16
00:01:30,519 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: Only the immortal gods may decide.

17
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 6: But how do you know to get them to make

18
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:36,959
a decision.

19
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: The gods have sent my people a spring of sparkling water.

20
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,920
The accused us drink.

21
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 3: At the spring.

22
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 6: And what does that prove?

23
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:52,959
Speaker 2: The innocent walk away vindicated.

24
00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:58,959
Speaker 4: And the guilty the guilty all down dead? Well, it

25
00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:02,079
is hardly you will see it with your own lives.

26
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:05,400
We shall have a trial tonight.

27
00:02:05,599 --> 00:02:08,039
Speaker 6: Oh, who is the accused?

28
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:09,599
Speaker 3: You are.

29
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:23,319
Speaker 1: Our mystery drama The Smile of Deceit was written especially

30
00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:27,639
for the Mystery Theater by Sam Dan and stars Jennifer Harmon.

31
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:33,960
The poet tells us that nothing succeeds like success. The

32
00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:39,120
question therefore arises, what is success? That depends on whom

33
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:43,479
you ask? Inquire of the philosophers, and you'll soon discover that,

34
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,479
as a group, they tend to knock it. They say

35
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,960
things like success has always been a great liar, or

36
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,879
the greatest success is an early death. That's all very well,

37
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,319
But who among us would refuse to be six sucessful? Who,

38
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,919
if given free choice, would choose failure? Certainly not Miss Velma.

39
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,319
Straight Women's lived to the contrary. Notwithstanding, success for many

40
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,240
girls in our society still means the acquisition of a

41
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:21,080
wealthy husband, and Velma, as we shall discover, has hit

42
00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:23,240
a rather respectable jackpot.

43
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 6: Just a minute, Darling, Oh it's Aunt Rose Eli.

44
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,599
Speaker 4: See you were expecting, Darling. I was, well, may I

45
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:37,039
come in?

46
00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: Of course?

47
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 6: Come in at Rose? That all means come in? Aren't

48
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:42,879
you glad to see me?

49
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:43,319
Speaker 3: Velma?

50
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 6: Do will you know? I am?

51
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,319
Speaker 4: I just well, you said you didn't think that you

52
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,039
could get away.

53
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 6: I really can't.

54
00:03:49,759 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 4: But would it be right for you to graduate all

55
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,960
alone with no one to applaud? Besides, you said you're engaged,

56
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,560
so I just had to come down.

57
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 6: And see if you approve.

58
00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:01,159
Speaker 3: Oh, oh, I shall approve.

59
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,599
Speaker 4: I know how I raise my little girl. I'm sure

60
00:04:04,639 --> 00:04:07,560
you chose a wonderful man. Now he is, aunt Rose,

61
00:04:07,759 --> 00:04:09,319
absolutely wonderful.

62
00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 3: We'll tell me all about him.

63
00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 7: Well, his name is Robert Morris Hastings the third.

64
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:17,879
Speaker 6: Oh that sounds impressive. Is he at school here?

65
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:18,199
Speaker 3: Oh?

66
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,879
Speaker 6: Yes? And is he graduating too?

67
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:24,399
Speaker 4: Oh no, he's on the faculty, an instructor, a professor.

68
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 6: Oh that's marvelous, dear. I wouldn't dare to suggest this.

69
00:04:31,959 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 4: It's so presumptuous to advise the young.

70
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,639
Speaker 6: But I'd hope you'd choose a mature man, and I did. Oh,

71
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:42,199
a young man today seem so unsettled, so so uncertain.

72
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 4: An older man is so much safer, so much more secure,

73
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,319
and in many ways more romantic. Now, tell me everything

74
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,000
about Robert Morris Hastings the third. Well, you shall meet

75
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,279
him in exactly one minute, Oh I will. He promised

76
00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,839
to stop in and say hello. On his way to

77
00:04:59,879 --> 00:05:02,600
say faculty assembly. He said he'd bring the bell at

78
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,720
eleven o'clock. And he is the soul of promptness. Well

79
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,560
that's an excellent quality and a sign of good character.

80
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 6: What does he teach anthropology?

81
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 4: Oh dearest, I am so happy for you to be

82
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,920
the wife of a professor, to live in the intellectually stimulating.

83
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 6: Atmosphere of university. Oh well, we won't live here, Aunt Rose.

84
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 7: Robert's resigning his post, he is, We're going out into

85
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,160
the field. Robert's specialty is in psychic phenomena among primitive peoples.

86
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,079
It's fascinating how the mind can be manipulated to produce, well,

87
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:41,079
almost anything, even death. Anyhow, starting next month, it'll be

88
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:42,519
deserts and jungles.

89
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 4: Well, will you look at the clock eleven exactly? Robert Darling,

90
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:50,879
come in.

91
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 8: I can only pause for a moment, My dear Darling,

92
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,040
the most wonderful human being in all the world is

93
00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:00,639
here to give us our blessing at Rose.

94
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,959
Speaker 4: This is Robert Robert missus Maynard Gardner. But you'll have

95
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,120
to call her at Rose.

96
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 9: How do you do?

97
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 8: How I have looked forward to this occasion. Elma never

98
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,399
stops talking about you at Rose.

99
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,639
Speaker 6: Let's all have some coffee.

100
00:06:18,439 --> 00:06:20,319
Speaker 3: My dear. I don't have time, Darling.

101
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 6: It only needs a minute to boil the water.

102
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 8: Yes, but a cup of coffee right now would be

103
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,800
too much. I already have had two at breakfast.

104
00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:28,959
Speaker 6: Now, Robert, you promised to watch that.

105
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 3: I know, my dear, and I do try.

106
00:06:31,519 --> 00:06:33,399
Speaker 6: No, he's just terrible at Rose.

107
00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:36,519
Speaker 3: I really should be going, but you just got him.

108
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 8: I promised to pop in on my way to the

109
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,680
Assembly to say hello, and now I must pop out.

110
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,879
I'll look for you both at the commencement exercises. Well,

111
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,480
if you must go, and at Rose, you will be

112
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:49,959
our guest at luncheon.

113
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 4: I should be getting back to the city. Nonsense, of

114
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,160
course you'll be, I guessed Robert.

115
00:06:56,199 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 8: I'll make a reservation for three at the Hamilton Room.

116
00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:04,519
Speaker 4: Goodbye, ladies, goodbye Darling, goodbye.

117
00:07:04,959 --> 00:07:09,959
Speaker 6: Well lama is is he move? Are you serious?

118
00:07:10,959 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 3: Uh?

119
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:15,199
Speaker 4: Are you saying you don't like Robert? How could you

120
00:07:15,279 --> 00:07:17,319
consider marriage with Oh?

121
00:07:17,439 --> 00:07:21,399
Speaker 7: I know he's not as young as you might have expected,

122
00:07:22,079 --> 00:07:24,240
But didn't you say it was wisest to marry an

123
00:07:24,279 --> 00:07:24,839
older man?

124
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,399
Speaker 6: Older? Yes?

125
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,399
Speaker 4: But but what well, well, let me put it this way,

126
00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:34,720
I happen to be more than twice your age, and

127
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:35,680
he even be.

128
00:07:35,639 --> 00:07:38,879
Speaker 6: Too old for me. Age isn't everything? At Rose?

129
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 4: Robert is handsome, generous, very intelligent, kind, cheerful, thrifty, brave,

130
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,000
clean and reverent. I know, a veritable eagle scout. And

131
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:56,279
most important, he's rich. Oh no, no, I can't believe

132
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:02,360
what I'm very Why not DONI you would for money?

133
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:03,399
Speaker 6: Absolute?

134
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: Oh no, Thelma, No, that's not how.

135
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:06,439
Speaker 6: I raised you.

136
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 4: If you can say that, then you learn nothing in

137
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:10,360
my house.

138
00:08:10,399 --> 00:08:12,839
Speaker 6: But I learned everything in your house, Aunt Rose.

139
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 4: I learned how important money can be because I saw

140
00:08:15,959 --> 00:08:18,000
what can happen to girls who married for love and

141
00:08:18,079 --> 00:08:19,759
love alone, the way you did.

142
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 6: I saw what.

143
00:08:21,079 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 4: Happens when a cheerful spirit is hemmed in by too

144
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,560
small a house and badgered by too small a budget.

145
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,959
Speaker 6: Your uncle and I were deeply in lull. My uncle

146
00:08:31,079 --> 00:08:32,960
and you were deeply in debt.

147
00:08:34,399 --> 00:08:37,639
Speaker 4: Thelma, what happened to that idealistic young girl who went

148
00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:39,159
off to college four years ago?

149
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 6: I grew up giddy.

150
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:46,159
Speaker 4: Romantic love is a peculiarly American myth. Oh really, it's

151
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,679
because we're still a very young country. We have yet

152
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,039
to get rid of our juvenile fantasies. Love is a fleeting,

153
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,240
ethereal emotion.

154
00:08:54,919 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 6: How can you base a marriage on it?

155
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:57,039
Speaker 3: How?

156
00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 7: Yes, dear, how marriage is a contract, and a contract

157
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,519
should be guaranteed by some solid collateral.

158
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 4: Very well, very well, If you must marry for money,

159
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,840
is he the best you can do? Oh?

160
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 6: Yes, I've explored all my options.

161
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 4: Film I discovered that Robert happens to be among the

162
00:09:18,159 --> 00:09:20,960
wealthiest men on campus, student or faculty.

163
00:09:21,759 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 6: Is the sole surviving member of the Hastings family. I

164
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,559
never heard of them. They were Detroit people.

165
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 4: Robert's father was a pioneer maker of motor cars. He

166
00:09:31,759 --> 00:09:34,120
was bought out by one of the big corporations for

167
00:09:34,159 --> 00:09:35,720
a fabulous sum of money.

168
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 6: Oh there must be.

169
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,879
Speaker 4: Other wealthy men closer to your own age. Oh lord, listen,

170
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:42,679
how I'm talking.

171
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,279
Speaker 7: Yes there are, But Robert's money is clean money clean.

172
00:09:47,639 --> 00:09:51,039
Speaker 4: Is the only surviving member of his family. The money

173
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,240
is all his, and when he dies, the money will

174
00:09:54,279 --> 00:09:57,919
be all mine. The others had brothers or sisters, all

175
00:09:58,039 --> 00:10:03,639
kinds of family complications. Velma, do you realize in ten

176
00:10:03,879 --> 00:10:05,120
years Robert.

177
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 6: Will be a very very old man. Why you'll you'll

178
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,519
hardly be in your thirties.

179
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 4: I don't expect Robert to live another ten years or

180
00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:14,200
even five.

181
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 7: He has a heart condition, Velma, and will be living

182
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,159
a strenuous, outdoor life in areas that.

183
00:10:21,159 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 6: Aren't exactly healthy.

184
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,799
Speaker 4: I shall be a very young widow, and then I

185
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:33,320
could afford to marry for love. Oh, Velma, something something

186
00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:35,600
has taken possession of you.

187
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 6: Suppose five or even ten years go by and Robert

188
00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:42,159
is still alive.

189
00:10:43,159 --> 00:10:47,919
Speaker 4: Suppose somehow he may live on to an incredibly old age.

190
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,840
Then I suppose I'll have to burn that bridge when

191
00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:51,639
I get to it.

192
00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:04,919
Speaker 3: Ah, there you are, and Rose, have you been waiting long? No?

193
00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 8: Be able to see Velma at the commencement exercises? Yes,

194
00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:11,720
she looks stunning. Don't you agree?

195
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 6: I agree?

196
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:15,879
Speaker 3: Why do you disapprove of me?

197
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 4: The fact that you would have to ask such a

198
00:11:18,919 --> 00:11:22,360
question would indicate that you couldn't possibly understand my answer.

199
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: But why not answer anyhow.

200
00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 4: Well? First and foremost, this dramatic disparity in your ages.

201
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 3: Why should it bother you?

202
00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 4: Because Velma is being cheated out of a young and

203
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,200
vigorous husband.

204
00:11:38,519 --> 00:11:41,279
Speaker 3: Evidently that doesn't bother Velma. It will.

205
00:11:42,759 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 6: Why do you suppose she wants to.

206
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 3: Marry you for my money? You're shocked.

207
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:54,759
Speaker 4: Why I never heard of anything so cold blooded, so

208
00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:55,759
so practical.

209
00:11:55,919 --> 00:11:58,639
Speaker 8: If money is so important to her, why shouldn't she

210
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,559
marry for it? She loves me, She loves me for

211
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,200
the security I can give her.

212
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,279
Speaker 6: Why do you want to marry Velma.

213
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 3: Because I love her? No?

214
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,919
Speaker 8: No, no, no, you must let me finish. I love

215
00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:16,279
her for the beauty and the freshness she brings into

216
00:12:16,279 --> 00:12:16,799
my life.

217
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,399
Speaker 4: Oh, it goes against all logical reason.

218
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,799
Speaker 3: I don't know what you did.

219
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 4: Perhaps centuries ago it might have been called witchcraft.

220
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 3: Such a statement is beneath you, Aunt Rosy, But.

221
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:33,799
Speaker 6: I cannot explain it.

222
00:12:33,759 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 4: Any other way.

223
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 8: Only ignorant people explain away what they can't understand by witchcraft.

224
00:12:40,639 --> 00:12:46,279
Not everyone has your values, your attitude, your perspective on life.

225
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 4: You're a clever man, a convincing man. But I can't

226
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,639
be had. I insist you must have cast a spell

227
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:54,799
over Velma.

228
00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:57,879
Speaker 3: How can you be sure Velma hasn't cast a spell

229
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:58,519
over me?

230
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,879
Speaker 4: Well, I can't be sure of anything anymore, Aunt Rose Robert.

231
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 7: It was such a crowd. Sorry I kept you waiting. No,

232
00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:13,159
I'm not I wanted you to get to know each

233
00:13:13,159 --> 00:13:18,080
other and Rose, isn't he just marvelous to tell me it? Rose,

234
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,159
what do you say now?

235
00:13:21,799 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 6: Bless you my children?

236
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 3: Well, there's a marriage for you.

237
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: But maybe it's not so outrageous after all, At least

238
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,440
the principles are being honest with each other. Or do

239
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,960
they only think they're being honest. Let's review the bidding.

240
00:13:45,759 --> 00:13:48,440
He wants her to be fresh and bright and beautiful.

241
00:13:48,919 --> 00:13:52,200
She wants him to live no longer than, say, five

242
00:13:52,279 --> 00:13:56,679
more years, And I want you to wait just a

243
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,399
few moments, and then I shall return with that too.

244
00:14:00,159 --> 00:14:04,159
Is the best basis for a marriage? The question has

245
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,919
intrigued the sages since the original introduction of men and women.

246
00:14:08,799 --> 00:14:11,960
It would appear, however, that the best basis is the

247
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,240
one that works best for the individuals concerned. You have

248
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,919
already met Professor and missus Hastings, Velma and Robert.

249
00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:21,519
Speaker 3: May and December.

250
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,639
Speaker 1: Since each had what the other wanted, shouldn't they be

251
00:14:25,679 --> 00:14:28,399
able to look forward to a successful marriage.

252
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 3: It all goes.

253
00:14:29,759 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: Back to what I said at the very beginning, what

254
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:37,440
do you mean by success? Well, here's Aunt Rose to bring.

255
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:37,919
Speaker 3: Us up to date.

256
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,679
Speaker 4: And so they were married, and they left immediately on

257
00:14:42,759 --> 00:14:45,840
a combined honeymoon and field trip to study the customs

258
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,559
of a remote tribe in the Amazon.

259
00:14:49,159 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 6: At first, Delma wrote off.

260
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 4: But a year went by, and two, three, four, even five,

261
00:14:57,159 --> 00:15:01,039
and her letters became more and more infrequent, and less

262
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,159
and less informative.

263
00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:05,759
Speaker 6: And then for a while I didn't hear from her

264
00:15:05,799 --> 00:15:06,080
at all.

265
00:15:07,639 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 4: And then one day I received a strange, frightening letter

266
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:14,120
from Brazil.

267
00:15:16,159 --> 00:15:23,399
Speaker 6: Dearest aunt Rose, save me, Please save me. You must

268
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:24,080
save me.

269
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 7: Perhaps perhaps it is my fault, but I don't want

270
00:15:31,159 --> 00:15:33,159
to die.

271
00:15:33,759 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 6: No, I must be calm.

272
00:15:35,879 --> 00:15:39,399
Speaker 4: I will tell you everything, even the part that makes

273
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:40,480
me look bad.

274
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:46,399
Speaker 6: You're my only hope. You must save me. You were right?

275
00:15:47,399 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 7: Oh, how right?

276
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 4: It's five years. I've been married five years. I can't stand.

277
00:15:56,679 --> 00:15:57,559
Speaker 6: It any longer.

278
00:15:57,639 --> 00:15:58,679
Speaker 3: I can't.

279
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 6: Want to be banging on those things.

280
00:16:04,279 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 3: For it's a very interesting ceremony, my dear. I'm sure

281
00:16:08,799 --> 00:16:11,600
it's called the Test of the Bitter Water.

282
00:16:11,919 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 6: Sounds fascinating.

283
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:15,759
Speaker 3: Are you all alife?

284
00:16:15,879 --> 00:16:16,879
Speaker 6: I'm fine?

285
00:16:17,279 --> 00:16:18,519
Speaker 3: Are you sure? Damn it?

286
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,159
Speaker 6: I said I was all right. Do you want me

287
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,039
to write it down and give it not to rize?

288
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 3: Obviously something is the master.

289
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 6: Why can't we go home?

290
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:28,879
Speaker 3: My work is here.

291
00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:31,919
Speaker 6: Why can't I go home?

292
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,039
Speaker 3: Home is wherever our work takes us.

293
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 6: It's your work.

294
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 8: Why do I have to be here because a wife's

295
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,519
places with our husbands. Come on, we'll be late for

296
00:16:41,559 --> 00:16:45,159
the ceremony. Chief Riah will be insulted if we don't attend.

297
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 6: Please convey my regrets.

298
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:52,519
Speaker 3: I have a headache, my dear, we are the honored guests.

299
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 8: It would be an insult, and I need the chief's goodwill.

300
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,519
Speaker 6: That's too bad, I'm afraid it is.

301
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,519
Speaker 8: If I tell him you have a headache, he'll send

302
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,000
his favorite medicine man to cure you, and that might

303
00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:07,400
be quite painful.

304
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,599
Speaker 6: And so I went with Robert.

305
00:17:13,279 --> 00:17:15,519
Speaker 7: I had no desire to be sown into a pig

306
00:17:15,559 --> 00:17:18,680
skin and smoked for hours to drive the evil spirits

307
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:23,720
from my head. The entire tribe, hundreds of men and women,

308
00:17:23,759 --> 00:17:26,839
were gathered about a rock, from which there flowed a

309
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,759
spring of sparkling water. All eyes were on a woman

310
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,039
who stood alone near the spring, a woman who seemed

311
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:41,519
transfixed by terror. Finally, the drums increased in intensity, and

312
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,640
Chief for Riah himself, a tall, imposing man with steel

313
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,039
blue eyes and stark white hand stepped forward.

314
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 3: Let the drums be silent.

315
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 6: What is he going to do?

316
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 3: He scared to make a drink some spring water from

317
00:18:01,279 --> 00:18:02,200
that silver cup.

318
00:18:02,839 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 6: Why she's so frightened?

319
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,559
Speaker 3: She's afraid the water will kill her?

320
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:07,759
Speaker 6: Is it poison?

321
00:18:08,079 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 4: No?

322
00:18:09,319 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 3: Do I drink it myself? Then?

323
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 6: Why she she.

324
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,759
Speaker 3: She's been accused of infidelity. To prove her innocence, she

325
00:18:17,839 --> 00:18:19,119
must drink from the spring.

326
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,319
Speaker 8: If she is guilty, the water will kill her.

327
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,079
Speaker 6: But if it's not poison, how can it kill her?

328
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,319
Speaker 8: And that's what these people have believed for hundreds of years.

329
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,119
If she is guilty, she'll die. I've seen it happen.

330
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,559
Speaker 6: But how can it happen?

331
00:18:36,519 --> 00:18:38,079
Speaker 3: That's what we're here to study.

332
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,799
Speaker 6: I suppose she refuses to drink that.

333
00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 3: An admission of guilt, she'd be stoned to death.

334
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:53,319

Speaker 6: What do you mean I can't wear pants?

356
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 3: I didn't say you can't, So what did you think?

357
00:20:58,079 --> 00:21:02,720

Speaker 6: Is modest? Why the women in his tribe run around practically.

359

Speaker 8: Making It's remarkable how modesty is culturally determines in our civilization.

360
00:21:12,079 --> 00:21:15,200
A woman is immodest if she exposes her body, and

361
00:21:15,319 --> 00:21:16,119
here a woman.

362
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,039
Speaker 3: Is immodest if she conceals it.

363
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 7: This Chief Riah of yours is becoming a pet peeve

364
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:22,319
of mine.

365
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 8: He's a stern moralist almost in the mold of an

366
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:30,519
old testament. Trust, How would you like to drive the

00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,039
Speaker 6: All that killed it?

00:21:44,759 --> 00:21:46,559
Speaker 3: Would you pick him up and bring him back here?

374
00:21:51,319 --> 00:21:54,079
Speaker 6: I don't know, Aunt Rose? Tell me?

375
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 7: Does life get its ideas from the movies? Because he's tall,

376
00:21:59,279 --> 00:22:03,799
and he's good luck, and he's not old, he's young,

377
00:22:05,039 --> 00:22:08,279
and he's everything I've been missing and longing for in

378
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,400
a man, everything I thought was unimportant?

379
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 6: How can I describe it? We're tuned in.

380
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 7: We like so many of the same things. We can

381
00:22:19,319 --> 00:22:24,559
talk so easily. We like to dance, you understand, don't you?

382
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:30,519
And he was even honorable? Notice I said was?

383
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 6: Isn't it a glorious night?

384
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,079
Speaker 8: Tell me, Dennis, have you read the Stevenson Halley analysis.

385
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 3: Of the South American Indian languages? Oh? Yes it? Do

386
00:22:44,039 --> 00:22:45,599
you agree? Well?

387
00:22:45,759 --> 00:22:48,519
Speaker 1: I think their premise is correct, but it chands no

388
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:49,240
new life.

389
00:22:49,319 --> 00:22:52,279
Speaker 4: If you boys are going to talk shop again, I

390
00:22:52,319 --> 00:22:53,119
think I'll turn in.

391
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 3: Well, my dear, you haven't finished your dinner. You can't

392
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:57,920
go to bed yet.

393
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,039
Speaker 1: No, No, we have to have our dance professor to

394
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,559
your mind. If I ask your.

395
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:07,759
Speaker 8: Wife to h Dennis, welma, I would rather you two

396
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,559
didn't do any more dancing.

397
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:11,319
Speaker 6: No, what's the matter.

398
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,799
Speaker 3: Well, it seems that this kind of thing is shocking

399
00:23:13,839 --> 00:23:14,559
to the natives.

400
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 6: Can't be serious.

401
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 8: Chief Harayah spoke to me about it. Dennis, you understand, yes,

402
00:23:20,759 --> 00:23:21,559
I think I do say.

403
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: These natives are remarkably straight laced people.

404
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:25,319
Speaker 3: You know.

405
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:32,519
Speaker 8: It's odd our coaches sees the savage is free and unfettered. Actually,

406
00:23:32,599 --> 00:23:35,759
they're the prisoners of so many taboos.

407
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:44,559
Speaker 6: So am I Everything? Everything wrong that happens from here

408
00:23:44,599 --> 00:23:48,519
on is my fault, all my fault, I admit it.

409
00:23:49,559 --> 00:23:53,279
We were walking in the forest and suddenly dark.

410
00:23:53,559 --> 00:23:57,759
Speaker 3: Well it's all right now.

411
00:23:58,839 --> 00:24:02,759
Speaker 6: Just a snake trusts to sneak.

412
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: No, he wasn't going to bother you, but you disturbed him.

413
00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 3: I'm sorry I had to shoot him.

414
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 6: Sorry by the murderous thing.

415
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,839
Speaker 1: We do enough to destroy the balance of nature as

416
00:24:13,839 --> 00:24:17,519
it is. What did you say, the balance of nature?

417
00:24:17,519 --> 00:24:21,079
Speaker 6: It means I know what it means. In my own way,

418
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,240
I've destroyed a certain balance of nature.

419
00:24:23,839 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 3: You have.

420
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:31,559
Speaker 6: Oh, and in destroying it. I'm also being destroyed slowly?

421
00:24:32,599 --> 00:24:36,079
Speaker 3: Are you uh something the matter?

422
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 6: Hold me?

423
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 4: Please hold me?

424
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: About the closer closer, Velma. We shouldn't we should we should?

425
00:24:46,079 --> 00:24:47,119
But this isn't right.

426
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,279
Speaker 6: Don't you want to?

427
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 3: Yes? I want to, but I don't talk.

428
00:24:57,279 --> 00:25:02,599
Speaker 4: M oh Dennis, Dennis.

429
00:25:02,839 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: I love you, Velba, Oh how I love you?

430
00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 6: Dennis?

431
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,759
Speaker 3: Well, then let's tell Robert.

432
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 6: Tell Robert. Are you mad?

433
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,319
Speaker 1: That's the honest and honorable thing to do. No, then

434
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,279
you can get a divorce. What are you saying you

435
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:23,559
must divorce Robert?

436
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 6: Why?

437
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 3: Or for a hundred reasons?

438
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 9: One you don't love him, two you love me. Let's

439
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:37,960
wait for one for Robert to die, Velma. How much

440
00:25:38,039 --> 00:25:39,000
longer can he live?

441
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 3: Velma? I can't believe you're saying this.

442
00:25:43,039 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: Kiss me?

443
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,759
Speaker 3: No, No, it's not right.

444
00:25:47,079 --> 00:25:48,319
Speaker 6: Don't you want to love me?

445
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 3: Yes? But as my wife, marry me?

446
00:25:54,759 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 6: How much money do you make?

447
00:25:58,039 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 3: What kind of question is.

448
00:26:00,519 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 6: A very important question?

449
00:26:03,319 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 3: Well?

450
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: Uh, I have a research grant for the next thirty

451
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:08,599
six months.

452
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:09,839
Speaker 6: How much does it pay?

453
00:26:11,279 --> 00:26:12,519
Speaker 3: Eighty eight hundred a year?

454
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 6: You can't be serious?

455
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,599
Speaker 3: Why is money so important? We won't starve?

456
00:26:19,079 --> 00:26:23,279
Speaker 4: Robert has money, He has over two million dollars.

457
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,559
Speaker 6: Think of it? Two million?

458
00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:26,759
Speaker 3: Oh, who cares?

459
00:26:26,799 --> 00:26:30,559
Speaker 6: I care. It's all going to be mine when he dies.

460
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,160
Do you want me to throw away two million dollars?

461
00:26:34,319 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 3: What does it matter? As long as you have love

462
00:26:36,759 --> 00:26:37,640
in the house.

463
00:26:37,559 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 7: It matters. It matters. He can't live forever. Oh kiss me,

464
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:56,640
But we don't talk. You talk too much, darling.

465
00:26:56,799 --> 00:26:57,599
Speaker 6: You're not eating.

466
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 3: I'm not hungry.

467
00:27:00,519 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 6: You wanna go for a walk.

468
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: Well we we can't go for a walk. Now the

469
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:08,519
old camp will know.

470
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,799
Speaker 7: What's the difference. Robert's asleep. I think he's not well.

471
00:27:13,799 --> 00:27:15,960
Maybe we'll be free sooner than we think.

472
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: I can't believe we're having in this conversation. Robert is

473
00:27:22,759 --> 00:27:25,519
the best friend I have in all the world. He

474
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:31,119
taught me everything I know. And how do I thank him?

475
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,240
I betray That's.

476
00:27:33,079 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 4: An old fashioned word, darling, and its meaning never changes.

477
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,559
Speaker 3: Let's tell Robert now I.

478
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 6: Can't, I won't.

479
00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:41,759
Speaker 3: Then I will.

480
00:27:42,599 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 6: I'll swear to him. It's a lot.

481
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 4: I'll swear you wanted to seduce me because I refused you.

482
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: Trying to do you know, I think you would, and

483
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:57,359
for you, for you, I betrayed my best friend.

484
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 3: I even betray myself.

485
00:28:02,559 --> 00:28:10,799
Speaker 6: Dennis, don't look at me like that. Hello, Dennis, Please.

486
00:28:10,519 --> 00:28:20,799
Speaker 1: Know why do young girls like Velma get themselves into

487
00:28:20,839 --> 00:28:25,680
these situations? And extensive literature on the subject of May

488
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:30,400
and December marriages exists. Indeed, a great deal has even

489
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,319
been said on the subject on many.

490
00:28:32,079 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 3: Of our own little tales here.

491
00:28:34,759 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: However, the most succinct statement was uttered by mister Benjamin Franklin,

492
00:28:39,599 --> 00:28:44,039
who observed that where you have marriage without love, you

493
00:28:44,079 --> 00:28:48,720
will soon have love without marriage. I'll be back shortly

494
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,519
with Act three straight against the advice of her aunt,

495
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,599
Rose has married a man many years her senior, and

496
00:28:56,759 --> 00:29:00,240
way back and Act one. Practically all of you were

497
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,960
predicting what was bound to happen.

498
00:29:02,839 --> 00:29:07,079
Speaker 3: Well, why shouldn't it have happened. It's what usually happens

499
00:29:07,079 --> 00:29:07,880
in life, isn't it.

500
00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: The ancient Greeks call this kind of thing fate, and

501
00:29:12,279 --> 00:29:14,720
it happens to are more people than you would think.

502
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 3: Yes, I betrayed myself.

503
00:29:21,839 --> 00:29:25,039
Speaker 1: Do you hear Relma, I betrayed myself.

504
00:29:25,119 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 6: Dennis, Robert, he will hear you?

505
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 2: Oh?

506
00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:29,799
Speaker 3: Yes, Robert. Robert mustn't know.

507
00:29:31,279 --> 00:29:36,279
Speaker 1: Ah, I I don't.

508
00:29:36,039 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 4: Feel well, Yes, Dennis, you don't look, well, maybe you

509
00:29:41,079 --> 00:29:42,279
better go back to your tent.

510
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll do that.

511
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 6: Do you want me to walk with you?

512
00:29:47,279 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 3: No? No, there are things I have to think about.

513
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 6: Think Dennis, think about us.

514
00:29:55,079 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, I am thinking about us.

515
00:29:59,119 --> 00:30:01,759
Speaker 6: Everything will be all right soon.

516
00:30:02,359 --> 00:30:10,079
Speaker 1: Yes, soon, everything will be just fine.

517
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:19,359
Speaker 3: Good night, Thelma m Velma.

518
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 6: Oh did I wake you?

519
00:30:22,279 --> 00:30:22,519
Speaker 3: No?

520
00:30:22,519 --> 00:30:27,279
Speaker 8: No, I I I I've been lying there thinking. Did

521
00:30:27,279 --> 00:30:29,960
you and Dennis talk about anything interesting at dinner?

522
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 6: Ooh, not particularly.

523
00:30:32,319 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 3: He's quite depressed.

524
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,319
Speaker 6: Oh really Yeah.

525
00:30:36,359 --> 00:30:39,359
Speaker 8: There was a job that had a research foundation, very prestigious,

526
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:40,960
well paying, and.

527
00:30:41,799 --> 00:30:42,759
Speaker 3: He put in for it.

528
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:43,759
Speaker 6: I didn't know that.

529
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 3: I was amazed.

530
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 8: I didn't think money and prestige were that important to him.

531
00:30:48,759 --> 00:30:51,640
He was always happy just working in the field, or

532
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,000
so I thought. But evidently it wasn't.

533
00:30:54,839 --> 00:30:55,839
Speaker 3: Enough for him.

534
00:30:56,079 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 6: The job. What about the job?

535
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,039
Speaker 3: He got a letter this morning, the job's been filled.

536
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 6: Oh oh, was that.

537
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 3: That was a shot?

538
00:31:14,359 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 6: Yes, that rose It was a shot, and it came.

539
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 4: From Denis's tent. Something said to me, don't go in there,

540
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:28,559
don't go in there. But Robert went in and after

541
00:31:28,599 --> 00:31:29,759
a while he came out.

542
00:31:32,319 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 3: He's dead.

543
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:38,359
Speaker 8: But I suppose the rejection by the foundation was a.

544
00:31:38,359 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 3: Little too much.

545
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,359
Speaker 6: It's it's horrible.

546
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,759
Speaker 8: I'll have to report this to the authorities. I'd hate

547
00:31:46,799 --> 00:31:48,960
to say it was a suicide.

548
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,319
Speaker 6: But maybe maybe it wasn't.

549
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,839
Speaker 8: My dear, I know you liked him as I did,

550
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,519
and you ought to protect his name. But well, it's

551
00:31:57,559 --> 00:31:58,599
obvious side.

552
00:32:01,519 --> 00:32:05,519
Speaker 7: You must come down here, Aunt Rose, you must. I

553
00:32:05,599 --> 00:32:08,759
have no one else in the world. Only you can

554
00:32:08,839 --> 00:32:13,680
save my life. Help me now, I'm inclosing money for

555
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,839
an airline ticket. You take the plane to the city

556
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:21,680
of Brazilia and then a bus to sow Diego at

557
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,240
the edge of the jungle, and I'll meet you there

558
00:32:24,279 --> 00:32:28,119
with the jeep. You must come before the twenty fifth

559
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,880
of the month. Please before the twenty fifth, because here's

560
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,799
what's happened. The day after we buried poor Dennis, that

561
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:43,759
horrible Chief Riah walked into the camp, Friend Robert.

562
00:32:44,599 --> 00:32:50,039
Speaker 3: Chief Arrayah, sit join us for some refreshment.

563
00:32:51,119 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 4: I am not omitted to eat and drink at your day.

564
00:32:56,599 --> 00:33:02,759
Is there a spirit here? An hevil spirit powerful, a

565
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:11,240
spirit of death in whose body hers my wife. I

566
00:33:11,519 --> 00:33:20,240
make the acquisition of what the most disgraceful of all crimes, adultery.

567
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:26,279
Speaker 7: How dear, Please, my dear, Please, my dear, This filthy, disgusting,

568
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,200
heathen savage day has to slander me.

569
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 6: And you say, please, my.

570
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 8: Dear, he now, chief who makes this charge?

571
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:42,079
Speaker 4: Iye, Ariah, chief of all the forest country, make the charge.

572
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 3: It is my duty.

573
00:33:43,839 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 6: What right do you have?

574
00:33:45,119 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 4: It is my right, my duty? You live in my country.

575
00:33:51,839 --> 00:33:58,839
You live by my lord friend Robert. I have come

576
00:33:59,319 --> 00:34:00,240
in peace.

577
00:34:01,519 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 3: Go in peace.

578
00:34:03,759 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 6: I leave in peace. What is this? What right does

579
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:10,920
he have to accuse me?

580
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,079
Speaker 3: You good darling.

581
00:34:13,079 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 8: The way you dress to him, to him it suggested

582
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,079
a wanton woman. And the fact that you danced with

583
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:21,559
Dennis means to him.

584
00:34:21,519 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 7: That there there was never anything anything between Dennis and me.

585
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:27,159
Speaker 6: It's untrue.

586
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:31,199
Speaker 8: We're not talking about absolute truth. We're talking about the

587
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,679
truth as he perceives it. And this means what.

588
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:38,639
Speaker 3: It means. You'll have to take the test of the

589
00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:39,400
bit of water.

590
00:34:40,119 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 6: And if I refuse, shall I be stoned to death?

591
00:34:43,599 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 3: Darling?

592
00:34:44,119 --> 00:34:48,519
Speaker 8: If you refuse, I shall lose the friendship of the chief.

593
00:34:50,679 --> 00:34:53,719
Drink the water, and once and for all you will

594
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,599
prove to the Chief that.

595
00:34:55,639 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 3: You are a virtuous woman. I refuse command, darling.

596
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 6: My I won't do you hear me?

597
00:35:02,119 --> 00:35:07,639
Speaker 3: But why? What could happen to you? What? What are

598
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:15,039
you afraid of? Well?

599
00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 6: What are you afraid of?

600
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 1: My dear?

601
00:35:17,079 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 6: I don't know, Aunt Rose. Oh, I'm so glad you're

602
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,039
hear her. Oh, it's such beautiful comfort.

603
00:35:23,039 --> 00:35:26,159
Speaker 4: It isn't It's hot and humid, and they're flies and

604
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,079
mosquitoes and bugs and okay, now do you.

605
00:35:29,119 --> 00:35:32,559
Speaker 6: Pull yourself together? I don't know what to do. Well,

606
00:35:32,599 --> 00:35:36,000
if the water isn't poisoned, drink it? What can happen?

607
00:35:36,119 --> 00:35:39,239
I'm just scared. Well, then don't drink it.

608
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 4: Well, then Robert loses all the years in effort he's invested.

609
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,639
Speaker 6: In this tribe Filmo.

610
00:35:45,639 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 4: If you are terrified by the prospect of that test, then,

611
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,639
regardless of the costs.

612
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 6: Don't take it.

613
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 7: And if I don't, then Robert will surely divorce me.

614
00:35:54,639 --> 00:35:56,199
Speaker 6: Well that might be best for your both.

615
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 7: No, not now, not after these five wretched years.

616
00:36:00,679 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 6: I never knew how miserable a woman could be. I

617
00:36:03,519 --> 00:36:06,199
may have tried to tlain that a long time ago.

618
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,480
I know you were right, you were always right, But

619
00:36:09,599 --> 00:36:13,719
that doesn't help me. Now. Robert's visibly fading. He can't

620
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,480
live much longer. He has two million dollars.

621
00:36:17,559 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 4: Velma, you must forget about the money.

622
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,119
Speaker 6: How can I forget? That's all I've lived for. It's

623
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,079
my money, and I won't give it up.

624
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,079
Speaker 4: Well, darling, it seems your choices are obvious. Drink the

625
00:36:31,119 --> 00:36:32,679
water or lose the money.

626
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 6: There must be another way.

627
00:36:35,199 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 4: You did have an affair with Dennis, Yes, well, turned

628
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,960
the jeep around and come with me. No, it's a

629
00:36:43,079 --> 00:36:45,400
crazy superstition of savages.

630
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 6: I won't give up a fortune.

631
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,159
Speaker 4: I'll drink that water and spit in his eye. All right,

632
00:36:51,199 --> 00:37:03,280
then you've decided. Thank you for seeing me, Chief Orion.

633
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 3: You come in peace?

634
00:37:05,559 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 6: Oh, yes, certainly.

635
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,760
Speaker 2: How may I serve you?

636
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 3: You are a fine woman? Bye looking woman?

637
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 6: Thank you?

638
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:22,599
Speaker 4: Ah, my niece Robert's wife in this test it is

639
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:23,960
to be tomorrow evening.

640
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,599
Speaker 6: Yes, oh, it's very upsetting to her.

641
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,119
Speaker 3: Why what is that to fear?

642
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 6: She is in the said jeef.

643
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,559
Speaker 4: She is not as strong as the women in your trupe.

644
00:37:37,519 --> 00:37:41,800
She comes from another world. You are a man of wisdom.

645
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,440
You understand another world where customs are different.

646
00:37:45,519 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 2: A world where women make committa gualteri. No, even your

647
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:58,280
world says no. Even missionaries from your world say your

648
00:37:58,320 --> 00:37:59,440
God says no.

649
00:38:00,119 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 6: But she is very upset.

650
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 2: Why indeed she is innocent? What is there to fear?

651
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:23,840
Let the drums be silent, Alma, wife of Robert, I

652
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,880
accuse you of infidelity?

653
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:32,679
Speaker 6: Do I speak true? Answer him?

654
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 3: No?

655
00:38:34,119 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 2: Shall you then submit to the test of the bitter water?

656
00:38:39,039 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 6: Yes?

657
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have filled the cup from the spring.

658
00:38:45,559 --> 00:38:53,079
Speaker 6: Take it, drink and rose one moment? Chief, May I

659
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:54,960
drink from that cup first?

660
00:38:55,679 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 2: Anyone who chooses may drink from the cup.

661
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 4: All right, Well, eh, nothing seems to have happened to

662
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,719
me here, Velma.

663
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 6: The water's okay, and prose.

664
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,199
Speaker 4: I don't know what to do, Vilma, I have gone

665
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:22,159
as far as I can. I've proved the water isn't poisoned. Now,

666
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:29,000
dear you must decide what am I some stupid native woman?

667
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,239
Why am I afraid? Hand me that cup.

668
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 2: Take the cup in your two hands, raise it to

669
00:39:39,039 --> 00:39:39,559
your lips.

670
00:39:41,199 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 3: Drink now.

671
00:39:44,559 --> 00:39:46,639
Speaker 2: The immortal gods are judging you.

672
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 4: Throw them dick up to the ground, eh, and rather

673
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,400

674
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:03,639
Speaker 10: You you all right? You're all right? And Rosa, I

675
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:09,079
see Donnis. He's pointing the gun at me. He wants

676
00:40:09,119 --> 00:40:12,800
to kill me too. He wants to take me with him.

677
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,360
He no, I don't want to.

678
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 6: Die stalking, But she wants to kill me. Hell no,

679
00:40:24,119 --> 00:40:24,679
she isn't.

680
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 3: She is dead.

681
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:36,119
Speaker 2: She can't be she is dead. The immortal gods have spoken.

682
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 3: How do these things happen?

683
00:40:44,559 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 1: We do know that people die of fright, of remorse,

684
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,840
of all the unknown ways that silently attacked the mind.

685
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,880
Robert died a week later. The shock was obviously too

686
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:02,000
great for him as well. Velma was wrong. Robert didn't

687
00:41:02,039 --> 00:41:06,079
have two million, He had five, and all of it

688
00:41:06,159 --> 00:41:07,480
went to a research.

689
00:41:07,159 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 3: Foundation, which is where all of.

690
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: It, except for a small bequest to her, would have gone.

691
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 3: Anyhow.

692
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: On the other hand, everything we have we give to you,

693
00:41:18,559 --> 00:41:21,199
as I shall explain when I return in a few moments.

694
00:41:22,159 --> 00:41:25,719
The question that faced us in the beginning still confronts us.

695
00:41:25,639 --> 00:41:28,760
Speaker 3: Here at the end. What is success?

696
00:41:30,079 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: According to the poetic mister Thomas Gray, all that beauty

697
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:39,000
and all that wealth ever gave our weights alike the

698
00:41:39,039 --> 00:41:44,199
inevitable hour, the paths of glory lead but to the grave.

699
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:49,840
If this is true, then the only really successful creatures

700
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:50,320
in this.

701
00:41:50,199 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 3: World are the worms.

702
00:41:53,119 --> 00:41:56,519
Speaker 1: But if we cannot guarantee you success, we can promise

703
00:41:56,559 --> 00:42:00,880
you enjoyment if you tune us in seven times each week.

704
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:06,000
Our cast included Jennifer Harmon, Arnold Moss, Joan Shay, and

705
00:42:06,119 --> 00:42:09,800
Robert Dryden. The entire production was under the direction of

706
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:10,559
Hyman Brown.

707
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 11: I took my family to California on vacation. I need

708
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,800
to carry a lot of cash because I'd taken along

709
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,079
my City Bank visa. Then in the middle of the trip,

710
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,360
I lost it, so I called the eight hundred number

711
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:25,119
from City Bank.

712
00:42:25,639 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 4: I canceled to City Bank visa and immediately issued him

713
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:29,000
a new one.

714
00:42:29,159 --> 00:42:31,559
Speaker 11: She got the new card to my hotel within twenty

715
00:42:31,599 --> 00:42:34,920
four hours. If it wasn't for City Bank, the kids

716
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,239
would have missed disney Land.

717
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,760
Speaker 5: If you lose your visa and it isn't from City Bank,

718
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,320
it could be a week before.

719
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 3: You get a new one.

720
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 5: What if that's the week you were on vacation or

721
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,239
had to travel for business.

722
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 3: What are you going to do? Then?

723
00:42:49,519 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 5: Well, if you lose your City Bank visa and it's

724
00:42:52,039 --> 00:42:54,639
an emergency, we'll get a new card to you.

00:42:54,639 --> 00:42:55,159
