Speaker 1: Hey, says dad, Mom.
Speaker 2: Come on your story, hours.
Speaker 1: On presenting your story, hour building for a better tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Hello Aunt Carol, Hello Uncle Dan, and hello boys and
Speaker 3: girls and moms and dads.
Speaker 4: Everyone.
Speaker 5: We're so happy to be with you again. Today we
Speaker 5: have another exciting episode from the lives of King Saul
Speaker 5: and young David, who killed the giant Goliath.
Speaker 3: As you recall last time and the story called the
Speaker 3: Deadly Plot, Saul tried to kill David, but it ended
Speaker 3: up with David returning to the palace with all seeming
Speaker 3: to be well again. Now we'll find out if their
Speaker 3: renewed friendship was for real.
Speaker 5: Our story can be found in the Old Testament of
Speaker 5: the Bible in the Book of First Samuel, chapters nineteen,
Speaker 5: twenty and twenty one, a story which we call the
Speaker 5: Sword of Goliath.
Speaker 6: The victories of David over the enemies of Israel excited
Speaker 6: anew the praise and acclaim of the people for the
Speaker 6: shepherd youth. But this in turn stirred up the former
Speaker 6: bitterness of Saul against David, and while he was playing
Speaker 6: before the king filling the palace with sweet harmony, Saul's
Speaker 6: passion overcame him, and he again hurled a javelin at David,
Speaker 6: thinking to pin themusician to the wall, but the Angel
Speaker 6: of the Lord turned aside the deadly weapon, and David
Speaker 6: fled to his own house. Then Saul sent spies that
Speaker 6: they might take him. Abner, General of the Armies of Israel,
Speaker 6: to see his majesty, Saul, King of Israel.
Speaker 7: You may come forward, Abner, long live the King. Have
Speaker 7: you heard yet this morning from the guards at the
Speaker 7: home of David. Have they captured him?
Speaker 8: Yes, your majesty, And they wait in the outer chamber.
Speaker 9: And he wasn't really sick as he claimed to be.
Speaker 8: Yes, he is sick, your Majesty, so sick the God
Speaker 8: had to bring him here in his bed.
Speaker 9: He won't escape me this time. An fetch my sword.
Speaker 8: As you wish, your majesty, lackey.
Speaker 9: Have the men bring in David, Yes, your.
Speaker 8: Majesty, your sword, sire, his Majesty's personal gods carrying a
Speaker 8: bed upon which lies David, son of Jesse.
Speaker 9: Set the bed down right here in front of me.
Speaker 7: David, Son of Jesse, I hereby pronounce the death sentence
Speaker 7: upon you for treason.
Speaker 8: Do you hear me? He's terribly ill, Your Majesty hasn't
Speaker 8: even moved the muscle since we left his house.
Speaker 7: And he'll be worse when I finish with him. You're
Speaker 7: in my power at last, David, you will never be king. Well,
Speaker 7: aren't you going to say something? Deny that you are
Speaker 7: after my throne? Had you even going to uncover your face?
Speaker 9: You're not? I don't blame you.
Speaker 7: I'd keep my face hidden to all right, Abner, remove
Speaker 7: the bedclothes from David.
Speaker 8: Yes, your majesty, Ah, he isn't there. There's nothing in
Speaker 8: the bed but an image made to look like a manner.
Speaker 8: Did you do this, know, your majesty, Abner where you
Speaker 8: were wearing? Oh, your majesty, I sent the captain and
Speaker 8: a detachment of gods to get David.
Speaker 9: Are you the captain that arrested David? Yes, your majesty?
Speaker 9: Did you know there was nothing in this bed but
Speaker 9: an image?
Speaker 7: No, your majesty, why didn't you look under the covers
Speaker 7: before you brought the bed all the way here?
Speaker 10: Because, your Majesty, your daughter behind this. Michael said that
Speaker 10: David was very sick and not to.
Speaker 9: Be disturbed, So you were very careful not to even
Speaker 9: jar the bed.
Speaker 7: Yes, your majesty imbecil, So she is responsible for all
Speaker 7: this lack.
Speaker 9: Hey send a messenger for her highness, Michael at Runce.
Speaker 10: She is already, hear, your majesty. She came with us, carefully,
Speaker 10: lovingly attending her husband. I mean the image in the bed.
Speaker 10: She is in the outer chamber, Your majesty, likey have
Speaker 10: her come in at once?
Speaker 8: Yes, your majesty, are you or are you not?
Speaker 9: My daughter?
Speaker 11: Of course I am. Father.
Speaker 7: I agreed to let you marry David as a plot
Speaker 7: and snare to bring about his immediate and necessary death.
Speaker 9: You knew this, didn't you.
Speaker 11: I suspected it.
Speaker 7: Father, Then why have you deceived me thus and let
Speaker 7: my enemy go so that he has escaped?
Speaker 8: I had to.
Speaker 11: He threatened me, he said to me, let me go.
Speaker 11: Why should I kill you?
Speaker 9: Yes, yes, I'm just sure he'd threaten you.
Speaker 7: General, I hold you personally responsible for this escape of David.
Speaker 8: Yes, your majesty, Captain, I sent you a detachment of
Speaker 8: men to spy on David's home last evening. I know
Speaker 8: he was home when you went there.
Speaker 9: Yes, sir, And we kept a watch for him the
Speaker 9: entire night. And then what happened to him?
Speaker 8: Where?
Speaker 12: Is he.
Speaker 6: He must have escaped somehow.
Speaker 9: Has he escaped somehow? Father?
Speaker 11: Do you wish me to tell you what happened to
Speaker 11: David during the time your faithful men were guarding against
Speaker 11: David's escape.
Speaker 9: You had something to do with it, that's sure.
Speaker 11: Well, Father, I knew that by morning if David were
Speaker 11: still there, your spies would arrest him when he came out.
Speaker 11: So I had to effect his escape somehow and quickly.
Speaker 8: But he couldn't have escaped. My men were there all
Speaker 8: night watching him.
Speaker 11: Oh yes, so they were, my dear abner. They were
Speaker 11: even watching the high wall on the front side of
Speaker 11: the house, as well as all the entrances. I saw them.
Speaker 11: But there is a second story window on the back
Speaker 11: side of the house. I merely let David down through
Speaker 11: that window to the ground, and he simply walked away.
Speaker 7: Captain, did not your men, General General make a search
Speaker 7: for David at once, send messengers and spies throughout all Israel.
Speaker 13: Fine, David, come in, David, Greetings, Samuel, Prophet of God.
Speaker 14: This is a surprise. David, you are coming to Rama.
Speaker 14: May I inquire as to the occasion of this visit.
Speaker 4: Samuel, Sir, I'm a fugitive from King Saul.
Speaker 14: Well, I'm not surprised, since he has forsaken God. The
Speaker 14: evil spirit has controlled him. How serious is it?
Speaker 4: His majesty would kill me himself if he had the chance,
Speaker 4: and he ordered all his officers to slay me on sight.
Speaker 14: It is serious. I'll give you sanctuary, of course, but
Speaker 14: I think i'd better take you to live in the
Speaker 14: dormitory with the students in the school of the Prophets.
Speaker 14: I question whether Saul will even think to look there
Speaker 14: and come along here. It's not far. Saul used to
Speaker 14: be such a fine young man. I it seems as
Speaker 14: if it were. But yesterday, the day he came up
Speaker 14: the hill and Ramah, I knew right then that God
Speaker 14: had chosen him to be Israel's first king. Oh, what
Speaker 14: a change has taken place. May the results of his
Speaker 14: disobedience be a lessened to you, David, my.
Speaker 4: Son, Yes, your grief?
Speaker 1: Eh?
Speaker 14: Tell me, David, how do you feel about this passion
Speaker 14: of King Saul to do away with you at all costs?
Speaker 9: Will Samuel?
Speaker 4: I I don't think I'd done anything to deserve such treatment.
Speaker 14: You know that God has chosen you to be the
Speaker 14: next king of Israel. Do you feel that it is
Speaker 14: impossible for Saul to slave because of this, that God
Speaker 14: won't pertapt you to that extent.
Speaker 4: I've been thinking about that very thing, Samuel, and I
Speaker 4: believe that Saul could kill me if I did not
Speaker 4: do my part, my duty, and if I refuse to
Speaker 4: be true to God.
Speaker 14: Oh you're a fine young man, David. May you always
Speaker 14: remain true to those.
Speaker 15: Convictions, your majesty, have Howard, Long live the King?
Speaker 8: Your majesty, David has been found. Did you arrest him
Speaker 8: or kill me either, Your majesty, that cross my order?
Speaker 9: Remember, yes, your.
Speaker 8: Majesty, But David is hiding in a place where we
Speaker 8: could not get to him without your orders, the permission.
Speaker 7: There is no such place. My General can go anywhere
Speaker 7: at any time.
Speaker 8: But there is, your Majesty there the school of the Prophets,
Speaker 8: under the direction of Samuel and Rama.
Speaker 7: I see, I shall have the court scribe write a
Speaker 7: special order to Samuel select a special detail of gods.
Speaker 7: They shall go to Rama and arrest David.
Speaker 8: Yes, your Majesty, General Abner to see his majesty.
Speaker 9: Yes, yes, yes, Abner, what is it?
Speaker 8: Long Live the King, Your majesty, I am forced to
Speaker 8: report to David. He is still free.
Speaker 9: The guards you sent didn't arrest him, Nordice. What happened
Speaker 9: to them?
Speaker 8: They seem to have forgotten emission.
Speaker 9: What I mean?
Speaker 8: They joined in the activities of the school. Some of
Speaker 8: them even began prophesying.
Speaker 9: What's the matter with everyone?
Speaker 7: Guards don't prophesy, only prophets prophesi, Ebner, Send other guards
Speaker 7: to Raima immediately, and this time pick out men who
Speaker 7: will not join the prophets. You say, General that the
Speaker 7: second group of guards joined the prophets too, Yes, sir,
Speaker 7: send another detachment, only this time send the most hardened
Speaker 7: soldiers you have immediately, your majesty, even the third group
Speaker 7: of soldiers prophesi.
Speaker 8: Yes, it seems each time our gods enter the School
Speaker 8: of the Prophets, Samuel is conducting some sort of class,
Speaker 8: and they join the.
Speaker 9: Group, and they PROPHESI.
Speaker 8: Shall I send more troops after David, Your majesty.
Speaker 7: Oh, no, alert my personal guards and armor bearer. I
Speaker 7: shall go to Rama personally and slay David. No longer
Speaker 7: shall he escape my vengeance.
Speaker 3: Say listen to this letter from a mom who lives
Speaker 3: in Oregon.

Speaker 5: Story Hour very much. What a blessing. We understand that

Speaker 3: Now, Carol, let's get back to our story.
Speaker 5: Good idea, Uncle Dan. Here's the conclusion of the sword
Speaker 5: of Goliath.
Speaker 8: We approach the well of seek you, your majesty? Shall
Speaker 8: we stop and water our months?
Speaker 9: Yes, Samner, And why are we here? Inquire as to
Speaker 9: the whereabouts of Samuel?
Speaker 8: A step aside, make way for his majesty, King.
Speaker 9: Of all this?
Speaker 16: Well you you come here me, sir?
Speaker 8: Is you you know Samuel all the prophet?
Speaker 9: Very well?
Speaker 17: Sir?
Speaker 8: You know where he is right now?
Speaker 12: Yes, sir?
Speaker 8: Well where is it?
Speaker 6: Well, he's at the school of the Prophet, Sir, this
Speaker 6: time of day he teaches a class of young prophets.
Speaker 8: Is David with him?
Speaker 12: David, Sir, David.
Speaker 8: The son of Jesse the Bethley.
Speaker 5: I might, oh David, Yes, yes, he's there with Samuel.
Speaker 12: I think, thank you.
Speaker 14: As prophets, you must not only know the word of
Speaker 14: God in the history of God's people, but you must
Speaker 14: also obey God and his precepts. Not only must you
Speaker 14: teach the people, but you will also be an example
Speaker 14: to them.
Speaker 18: Samuel or grace, Yes, King Saul, in a small retinue
Speaker 18: of attendance approached Ramah, I was at the well and
Speaker 18: heard the king inquire after you, and David.
Speaker 14: Thank you, his majesty. King Saul enters Rayma on an
Speaker 14: evil mission to slay our friend David. We must prevent this.
Speaker 14: I shall go outside and stand awaiting the arrival of
Speaker 14: King Saul. Are you you? My students shall be grouped
Speaker 14: around me. The spirit of God shall come upon you,
Speaker 14: and you shall prophesy. King Saul, as he approaches, shall
Speaker 14: prophesy too. He will even lay aside his royal robes
Speaker 14: and remain with us all day and during the evening.
Speaker 14: Also now he will seem to repent of his past life,
Speaker 14: and will assure us that he is now at peace
Speaker 14: with David. But we cannot put much confidence in the
Speaker 14: King's repentance.
Speaker 6: And Saul prophesied before Samuel and the people, and the
Speaker 6: people said to one of is Saul. Also among the prophets,
Speaker 6: then were the tidings of Saul's repentance spread throughout Israel. Meanwhile,
Speaker 6: David used this opportunity to talk to his friend Jonathan,
Speaker 6: and he said, unto him, but.
Speaker 4: What have I done? What's my guilt? And what is
Speaker 4: my sin?
Speaker 19: Before your father? That he seeks my life far be it, David,
Speaker 19: He doesn't seek your life. My father has repented. He
Speaker 19: he's a changed man. You shall not die.
Speaker 4: Oh would to God that he was truly changed. But
Speaker 4: I have no faith in his repentance, even though he
Speaker 4: claims to be at peace with me. Now, when he
Speaker 4: returns here to the palace, I'm afraid he'll try to
Speaker 4: kill me again.
Speaker 19: Look, my father does nothing either great or small, without
Speaker 19: telling me first. Do you think he would hide this
Speaker 19: from me?
Speaker 4: Yes, I think he would, for he knows that I've
Speaker 4: found favor in your eyes, and he wouldn't want to
Speaker 4: grieve you. But I'm certain that there's but a step
Speaker 4: between me and death.
Speaker 12: If you're but a step for death.
Speaker 19: Now, how close were you when he went out against
Speaker 19: the Philistine giant Terrale?
Speaker 4: This is no laughing matter. I must find a way
Speaker 4: to test your father to see if he really has repented. Well,
Speaker 4: what do you suggest? You know that whatever you say,
Speaker 4: I will do for you. Yes, I know. Now tomorrow
Speaker 4: is the feast of the new Moon. Since your father
Speaker 4: has declared anew his friendship, he'll expect me to be there.
Speaker 4: If your father notices my absence and asks you about it,
Speaker 4: merely tell him that I asked of you permission to
Speaker 4: go to the celebration at my own home in Bethlehem.
Speaker 4: If your father's not angry, then you'll know that all
Speaker 4: is well. But if your father is angry, then you'll
Speaker 4: know that evil is determined by him.
Speaker 19: That's an excellent idea, David. It certainly will determine just
Speaker 19: how my father feels about you.
Speaker 4: For three days, you hide.
Speaker 19: On the evening. At the third day, make your way
Speaker 19: to that heap of stones over there, Ah, I see
Speaker 19: quite often I use it as a bow and arrow
Speaker 19: practice room. You hide behind the stone heap. I shall
Speaker 19: shoot three arrows and then send a lad to fetch
Speaker 19: them back. If if I say unto the lad that
Speaker 19: the arrows are on this side of the stone pile,
Speaker 19: you shall know that everything is all right, and it
Speaker 19: will be safe for you to come back to the palace.
Speaker 19: But if I say to the lad that the arrows
Speaker 19: are beyond the rock pile, then shall you go away?
Speaker 19: For my father the king will be angry, and David,
Speaker 19: may the Lord God of Israel watch between you and
Speaker 19: me forever.
Speaker 4: Forever and ever.
Speaker 2: Jonathan, this is a good celebration, father.
Speaker 9: Yes, it is suddenly and Jonathan, my son. Is everything
Speaker 9: well with you?
Speaker 4: I guess so, Father.
Speaker 7: I do wish David could have been here, Yes, yes,
Speaker 7: I noticed he was absent.
Speaker 8: Where is he well?
Speaker 19: Father, Father, I gave him permission to go home. This
Speaker 19: is also the time of a great feast in Benjamin.
Speaker 7: You gave him permission upon one authority. There is nothing
Speaker 7: more important than being here. I am the king.
Speaker 9: My celebrations are more important than a mother.
Speaker 12: I am the crown Prince, and.
Speaker 9: I crown prince. Yes, so you are.
Speaker 7: But as long as David lives, you will never be king.
Speaker 7: You know where David is well, send for him immediately.
Speaker 19: But Father, surely you know that David has done nothing
Speaker 19: against you or the crown.
Speaker 12: Why are you so determined to slay him?
Speaker 9: I'm a better my gentlemen. I don't allow anyone to
Speaker 9: talk to me like that. He was the crown of prince.
Speaker 12: You missed me, Father, You have no scruples at all?
Speaker 2: Do you?
Speaker 19: You'd kill me, your own son, merely because I befriended David.
Speaker 9: Greater, get out, I leave. You have no dear of that, and.
Speaker 12: You'll never kill David, not if I can prevent it.
Speaker 6: In the morning, Jonathan went out into the field to
Speaker 6: the appointment with David. Out with him a little lad,
Speaker 6: and Jonathan shot three arrows into the air and sent
Speaker 6: the little lad to fetch them.
Speaker 12: Lad, the arrows are are they not beyond where you are?
Speaker 12: Run and see.
Speaker 19: I'm sure David heard that, and we'll know that my father,
Speaker 19: the king, is still determined to kill him.
Speaker 12: You found them, bring them back here? Thank you, my lad.
Speaker 12: You're a fine boy. Can you carry these arrows and
Speaker 12: the bow?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 19: Sure you can? Well here, take them back to the palace.
Speaker 12: I want to remain here for a little while.
Speaker 4: Yes, here, highess, take your time.
Speaker 12: There's no hurry.
Speaker 19: If anyone asks who I am, just say that I'll
Speaker 19: be back shortly.
Speaker 6: And as soon as the lad was gone out of sight,
Speaker 6: David arose from behind the pile of stone, and Jonathan
Speaker 6: ran to meet him. And David fell to the ground
Speaker 6: and bowed himself three times, and they wept bitterly with
Speaker 6: one another. The dark passion of the king cast his
Speaker 6: shadow upon the life of the young men, and their
Speaker 6: grief was too intense for expression.
Speaker 19: Go, David, my friend, go quickly before my father's guards
Speaker 19: find you.
Speaker 4: I shall miss you.
Speaker 19: Jonathan and I you, but we have no time for talking. David,
Speaker 19: you must go, and may the Lord watch over.
Speaker 14: You and give you peace.
Speaker 19: For we swore both of us in the name of
Speaker 19: the Lord, that there would be peace and love between
Speaker 19: you and me, and between my descendants and your descendants forever.
Speaker 4: Goodbye, Jonathan, my dear friend.
Speaker 19: Dude, do you have an idea where you're going?
Speaker 4: I think I will go to the High priest at Knob.
Speaker 4: It's the safest place. Besides, it's only a few miles away,
Speaker 4: and I can get there quickly.
Speaker 20: Goodbye, Jonathan, your grace, Yes, yes, what is it, your grace?
Speaker 21: There is someone outside who wishes to see you, and
Speaker 21: he is not a common visitor.
Speaker 6: Oh well, a visiting dignitary perhaps.
Speaker 21: David, the son of Jesse, and he travels alone, your grace.
Speaker 21: He has neither armor, bearon, nor servant with him, and
Speaker 21: his mannerism speaks of intrigue and plotting.
Speaker 6: And you're being awfully mysterious. But we'll show David in
Speaker 6: immediately and we shall solve the mystery if such there.
Speaker 1: Be, come in David.
Speaker 4: Thank you, your grace.
Speaker 6: Is it not rather unusual for a man of your
Speaker 6: position in power to be traveling alone.
Speaker 4: I think not, your grace, not in this instance anyway.
Speaker 6: Well may I inquire as to your reasons for this
Speaker 6: unexpected visit?
Speaker 4: Well, your Grace, I I'm not permitted to tell even
Speaker 4: you the mission upon which I've come. I see the
Speaker 4: King commanded secrecy.
Speaker 6: And what is there that I, an humble servant of God,
Speaker 6: can do for the son in law of his Majesty,
Speaker 6: the King?
Speaker 4: I need food, Your grace, give me five loaves of
Speaker 4: bread or whatever is here.
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm sorry, David, sir, but the only bread we
Speaker 6: have at the moment is hallowed bread. No common bread
Speaker 6: at all.
Speaker 4: Will give me the holy bread. Then I must have
Speaker 4: food for strength to complete the King's mission.
Speaker 6: You command, and I hope you shall have the bread.
Speaker 4: I'm also in great need of some sort of weapon.
Speaker 4: The King's business is. It's so urgent that I failed
Speaker 4: to bring with me my sword a spear. Do you
Speaker 4: have the sword or a spear?
Speaker 6: The sword of Goliath, the philistine you killed, is here,
Speaker 6: and behold it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephat.
Speaker 6: If you will take it, take it, for there's none
Speaker 6: but that here. There's no sword better than that one.
Speaker 6: I'll take it aye.
Speaker 22: How do you do, your highness, Prince David? Emergency you here,
Speaker 22: especially without the usual royal retinue. Excuse me a himmel
Speaker 22: like your grace. I didn't know you were busy. I'll
Speaker 22: come back later. Good Day.
Speaker 4: Who is that fellow.
Speaker 6: His name is Doeg. He's one of King Saul's chief shepherds.
Speaker 4: Acts like a spy to me. I'd better get going
Speaker 4: on my way on that secret errand for the king.
Speaker 12: Good day.
Speaker 1: To hear your grace and thank.
Speaker 21: You, if you don't mind my saying it, your grace.
Speaker 21: I think David is lying.
Speaker 6: David lie, Oh, I don't think he would lie.
Speaker 21: Well, there's something wrong. He didn't act very much like
Speaker 21: a prince on an errand for his king, more like
Speaker 21: a fugitive from justice.
Speaker 6: Where if David is lying, it will undoubtedly bring much
Speaker 6: evil and sorrow to himself and others. And David fled
Speaker 6: from Saul to the city of Gath. Now Gath was
Speaker 6: the capital city of the Phlistines. It was populated with
Speaker 6: the remnants of the Anakim men of great stature, the
Speaker 6: giant Goliath having been but one of them. At last,
Speaker 6: after long hours of Traveling by foot over hills and
Speaker 6: through valleys, the weary and trial burden, David approaches the
Speaker 6: palace gate of the Plistine king.
Speaker 9: Hal There where do you think you're going, Sir?
Speaker 8: I have come on an urgent matter.
Speaker 4: I wish an audience with the king, King Aki.
Speaker 9: And just who are you?
Speaker 4: And called David?
Speaker 9: Sir David? Ah, hmmm, you're an israel Lite, I believe.
Speaker 4: Yes, Sir, from the tribe of Benjamin.
Speaker 17: You've come here as a spy to discover our strength.
Speaker 4: No, Sir, I didn't. It's exactly the opposite of that.
Speaker 12: The king King Solomon David David. That is a familiar ring.
Speaker 6: Ah.
Speaker 12: I know who that man is. He's the one who
Speaker 12: fought our champion Glith and kill that right, and he's
Speaker 12: slated to be the next king of Israel.
Speaker 8: Did not the women of Israel after our defeat dance
Speaker 8: before this balancing saul A slain his thousands, and David
Speaker 8: is tata.
Speaker 6: Quickly the word is carried to King Akish of the
Speaker 6: tumult at the palace gate because of the appearance of
Speaker 6: the man David, who has come to see him. Now.
Speaker 6: When David heard the words of the King's servants. He
Speaker 6: was much afraid and changed his behavior, pretending that he
Speaker 6: was a crazy or insane person.
Speaker 7: Quiet, quiet, everyone, What.
Speaker 17: King, Akish, mighty King of Felicitia approaches the palace gate?
Speaker 12: What is the meaning of all this commotion?
Speaker 17: And abroad, Her majesty, this man approached the palace gate
Speaker 17: a little while ago, requested to gain an audience with
Speaker 17: my King.
Speaker 9: But I, O King, along.
Speaker 17: With several others of your most trusted servants, recognized him.
Speaker 17: He is none other than the man who slew our
Speaker 17: champion Goliath, and he used to be the next King
Speaker 17: of Israel.
Speaker 8: So you are, David, the next King of Israel?
Speaker 12: Me King of Israel?
Speaker 19: Me?
Speaker 9: Aren't you me King of Israel?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: They say I'm not smart enough to drive.
Speaker 1: An ox King of Israel. He's beating his head against
Speaker 1: the wall.
Speaker 12: I'd make a good king, I would. Why put everyone
Speaker 12: in prison?
Speaker 5: Ha ha ha.
Speaker 7: He's mad crazy, That's that's what everyone says about me.
