Well now from May eleventh, nineteen fifty eight, here is
the Rolling Stone.
Speaker 2: Matter from Hollywood. It's time now for Johnny Dellar.
Speaker 3: I' mcgracking, Johnny Universal Adjustment.
Speaker 2: Hi bad, what's on your mind?
Speaker 3: Seventy five thousand bucks.
Speaker 2: Yours is somebody else's, Johnny.
Speaker 3: Have you hear of the Cuvella diamonds?
Speaker 2: Yeah, matter of fink I have? It's a pink diamond,
is it?
Speaker 3: That's right? One of the companies who represented road a
seventy five thousand dollars policy on it. The owner of
the stone, a jeweler named Joseph Wentworth, was trying to
sell it. So last night the Savella Diamond was stolen.
Speaker 2: I'll be right over Bob Bailey in the Exciting Adventures
of a Man with the Action Packed Expense Account, America's
fabulous freelance insurance investigator was truly Johnny Dollar. Expense accounts
submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar the Universal Adjustment Bureau Hertford, Connecticut,
following us an account of expenses incurred during my investigation
of the Rolling Stone matter. Expense account had a one
dollar twenty camp fare from my apartment of the Office
of Universal Adjustment Bureau, Pat McCracken gave me one additional
dope he had, which wasn't much, and I headed for
New York that side him two twenty six dollars forty
cents and the apartment of Joseph Wentworth. I was just
released from the hospital an hour ago. They kept me
overnight for observation. Nothing serious, I hope mister Wentworth no.
I was hit on the back of the head. At
first they suspected the scoll fracture, but it was only
a slight concussion. Wow, you're lucky.
Speaker 4: Practically my total asset stolen, and you call it lucky.
Speaker 2: You mean the Sabala diamond. I borrowed heavily to purchase
that stone, mister dollar, I'm afraid I'm just about ruined. Well,
if I'm not mistaken, it was insured for seventy five
thousand dollars. You don't understand the insurance money will barely
cover the loans. The diamond wasn't insured for its full value.
I see, And what's worse, I had a customer for it.
I was almost ready to close the deal, could have
gotten at least one hundred thousand.
Speaker 4: Maybe more.
Speaker 2: Try to tell me exactly what happened to mister Wentworth.
Last evening, Eloise stopped by the shop at six. We
were going to have dinner. Alos Heloise Barnes by fiance.
I started to close up, and I remembered I'd forgotten
to put some things in the safe. She went down
the street aways to hail a taxi, and I went
back inside and left the front door unlocked. I must have.
I was in a hurry. I opened the safe and
I heard the sound behind me. I started to turn,
but too late that's the last I remember. The police
figure out what you were hit with. Yes, a heavy
brass candlestick in my shot. And when Eloise brought me
to Subala diamond was gone just a minute, you say
Eloise brought you to? Yes, you see when I didn't
come right back outside, she started wondering what had happened.
She came in and found me lying.
Speaker 4: On the floor.
Speaker 2: How long have you known Aloise mister Wentworth? About a year?
Why mind giving me her address? I think I'd like
to talk to her expense account. I am three a
dollars ready cave fair to Aloise Barnes apartment. Aloise looked
if anything more expensive than the Sabala Diamond, and I
had the feeling that underneath that lovely surface she was
almost as hard. Her gray eyes never left my face
as we talked, and I got the impression she had
deeply waived me, cataloged me, and put a price tag
on me.
Speaker 5: Grad I can't help you much, Johnny. Joe went with
apparently told you all there is to tell about it.
Speaker 2: You were out looking for a taxi at the time.
Wentworth got sluck.
Speaker 5: That's right. I feel sorry for Joe. That was a
lot of diamond to lose must be quite a storm
you go for those things. I know. I guess some
people really have a thing about diamonds.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 5: All right, just happens. There are a couple of things
I prefer like, what like money and mink?
Speaker 2: Huh. But now, according to your fiance you were it's
a minute According to my what your fiance went worth it?
Speaker 3: Johnny?
Speaker 5: That may be his idea, but it's not mine.
Speaker 2: Well, you're not engaged.
Speaker 5: It's been very nice to me, and I like him,
but we're just friends as far as I'm concerned. Oh yeah,
I'm afraid I'm not the engaged type, Johnny. I've tried
it once or twice, but it didn't work. Seems to
interfere with my hobby. Your hobby, Yeah, having fun, that's
your hobby, Johnny.
Speaker 2: Well, at the moment, trying to find the Sabala diamond.
Speaker 4: Then what hell?
Speaker 2: I have been known to have fun?
Speaker 5: Now and then, Jenny, I hope you find the diamond
real soon.
Speaker 2: The invitation was printed in large type. This was no
time for an RSVP, especially since I remember it wentworth
mentioning a customer who'd been anxious to buy the diamond
just before it was stolen. I called Wentworth and got
the man's name, Gerald Mantel, who had an apartment just
off Fifth Avenue in the East seventies. Ah, Yes, mister Dollar.
Speaker 6: The Sabala diamond an exquisite stone. The pink radiance of
it when it caught the light positively hypnotic.
Speaker 2: Such a pity it was stolen. Mister Wentworth tells me
he was negotiating with you for the sale of that time.
Speaker 6: That is correct. Unfortunately we had reached a stalemate yesterday.
You see, he wanted more than the diamond is worth.
Speaker 2: Wow. Maybe that's a matter of opinion, mister Dollar.
Speaker 6: I am a collector and a connoisseur. I know what
such things are worth. Are yes, I only hope it
will be recovered before Friday. It would make things so
much more enjoyable for me. What happens Friday, I am
leaving for Europe.
Speaker 2: All business chrip.
Speaker 6: Not really, as a matter of fact, more of an
impulse than anything else.
Speaker 2: Anything wrong with that, mister van Tell that's a good question.
Act two of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar. In a moment,
our flag.
Speaker 7: Now numbers fifty stars, and behind each star there stands
yet another flag representing one of the fifties states. Alabama
state flag is Saint Andrew, the symbol of the Confederacy
and the national flag of Scotland. Alabama state capital, Montgomery,
served as the first capital of the Confederacy, and it
was on the steps of its capitol building that Jefferson
Davis took the oath of office as President of the
Confederated States of America. The Scottish cross is in the
form of an x or saltier and is also found
on the state flags of Georgia and Mississippi. Perhaps it
is the independent, rugged spirit of the Scots that recommended
its national symbol to the Confederacy as a symbol of
its rebellion.
Speaker 2: Alabama's state flag, the flag.
Speaker 7: Of the twenty second state to enter the Union, was
adopted on February sixteenth, eighteen hundred and ninety five.
Speaker 2: Too, If yours truly, Johnny Dollar and the rolling Stone Metter,
I went back to my hotel, stretched out on the bed,
and went over the whole thing in my mind. Elloie,
who liked the things that money could buy, and who
supposedly had been looking for a taxi while Wentworth was
slugged and the diamond lifted. Then there was Gerald Mantel,
a collector who was now suddenly leaving for Europe. Yeah,
could be either of them. Johnny Dollar, you're looking for
the Sabala diamond.
Speaker 3: Mister Dollar was that? Well, that doesn't matter. I know
where the diamond is.
Speaker 2: Oh that's a fast dollar.
Speaker 3: I'm sure the insurance company represent would they quite a
bit bigger than stone pack? The question is how much?
Speaker 2: Oh there's a bigger question than that, friend, whether you're
on the level or not.
Speaker 3: I suppose I can show you the case the diamond
was kept in. Be convinced.
Speaker 2: Then maybe and Tonio is bonn E's fifty third. Yeah,
maybe there in an hour. Wait a minute, how'll I
know you?
Speaker 3: I'll know you.
Speaker 2: Hey, wait a minute. I had them four two dollars
even drinks at Antonio is WHI. I waited for my
telephone buddy to contact me. A half hour went by
and nothing happened. Then somebody came in and went to
a corner booth. Not the person I'd been expecting, but
just as interesting. So I went over, Hello, Eloise, Johnny,
sit down, thanks, expecting someone.
Speaker 5: All sorts of people, but this is a pleasant surprise,
but brings you around here business. I thought, you know, Johnny,
you've got a one track mind, always business. With that attitude,
you miss a lot.
Speaker 2: I don't Donald, Oh here you Why Alouise? Oh why
it's mister Dollar, Well, mister Mantel.
Speaker 5: Don Jeryl.
Speaker 2: I didn't know you two knew each other.
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, we've.
Speaker 6: Been friends for years. As a matter of fact, it
was Eloise who told me about the Subala diamond.
Speaker 2: Oh he didn't tell me that, Eloise.
Speaker 5: You didn't ask me, Johnny, Oh, Gerl they had waiters.
Seems to be signaling to you.
Speaker 2: That's so, I see.
Speaker 6: I'll be right back.
Speaker 2: Well, look, Eloise, I think i'd better be getting along.
Don't leave, Johnny, you've got a date with Mantel.
Speaker 5: He just wanted to have a drink with me before
he left for Europe. I told him I was meeting
Joe Wentworth here, so he said he'd stop by for
a minute.
Speaker 2: Didn't went Worth know that you and Mantell are old friends.
Speaker 5: I've done no reason to tell him, Johnny. Joe was
very tiresome about things like that.
Speaker 2: You mean he's jealous.
Speaker 5: I wonder what happened to Gerald this trip.
Speaker 2: He's taking to Europe. I gather he got the idea
rather suddenly.
Speaker 5: Geryl, very impulsive way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'll be getting along. Eloise. Looks like a
man I came here to meet isn't going to show.
Speaker 5: I can't imagine what's keeping Joe. I say, we've both
been stood up, Johnny. Maybe we should do something about us.
Speaker 2: Well, as I told you right now, the only thing
I have on my mind.
Speaker 5: I know that diamond. A girl could get tired of waiting, Johnny.
Speaker 2: Eloise, I don't think you've ever waited very long for anything.
Cheer later.
Speaker 3: I'll count on it.
Speaker 2: Got well, Oh what worth? We were wondering? What has
happened to you, mister Dollar. I'm certain you're a very
efficient investigator, but it seems to me that you've questioned
Eloise all you need to or have your conversations with her,
and now reached the unofficial state that is the case,
and I suspect it is. I'd better remind you that, Eloise.
Maybe i'd better remind you of a couple of things
went worth in the first place. Over here with there's
the dollars.
Speaker 4: A load and a package for you.
Speaker 6: So gentlemen, just left with me.
Speaker 2: Did he give his name?
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, but there was a.
Speaker 2: Short man of stock here in the word gray suit. Okay, thanks,
here you go, oh thank you. As I started to
say hello, what you went with? Couldn't take a chance
contacting you, somebody was following me. Contents of the package
will show you. I know what I'm talking about. We'll
contact you later. What's this all about, delle? It's from
a man who formed me a couple of hours ago.
If it's what I think is in his package? Yeah,
empty jewel case, your name on. I went with, what
that's the case?
Speaker 4: I kept the subotto diamond in Yeah, see you later.
Speaker 2: I went with where are you going?
Speaker 3: Dollar?
Speaker 2: Back to my hotel room. I wait to hear from him.
I went outside and started for the corner to grab
a cap. As I passed the alley, I spotted something
sprawled on the ground. A body, general man tell act
three of yours truly, Johnny Dollar in a moment.
Speaker 6: The way a man conducts himself at ease or under
stress shows what he's made of. It shows his character
under the strongest flight. This is particularly true when a
man becomes a prisoner of war. One of the points
of the Code of Conduct of the American Fighting Man says,
if I become a prisoner of war, I will keep
faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information
nor take part in any action which might be harmful
to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command.
If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those
appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.
The very essence of the ideals set forth in those
words were displayed by Commander later Rear Admiral Richard Antrim
in April nineteen forty two, while a prisoner of war
and ma Cassar Duchy Cinties during World War II. Acting
instantly on behalf of a naval officer who was subjected
to heavy punishment, Commander Antram boldly tried to quiet the
guard and persuade him to discuss the charges against the officer.
The guard refused. Tension increased. The entire enemy prison force
was faced by twenty seven hundred Allied prisoners. An order
was given to continue the punishment. Suddenly, Commander Antrum, at
the risk of his own life, stepped forward and volunteered
to take the remainder of the punishment. This sudden move
got a roar of acclaim from the inspired Allied troops,
and so amazed the enemy that both men were spared
any further in dignities or punishment. Commander Antram's heroic and
unselfish conduct brought about better conditions for the prisoners and
earned new respect for American officers and men. Commander Richard
Antrim upheld the highest ideals of an officer and earned
for himself the Medal of Honor.
Speaker 2: No. Act Three of Yours truly, Johnny Dollar and the
rolling Stone Mutter, Mantell, Mantel, Mattel, Come out of it, Clian,
Come on my hid here, I'll help you all right?
Easy enough? Are you okay? So who did it? I
don't know. Dollar.
Speaker 6: The hadwaiter told me a taxi driver wanted to see
me outside. I came out, but there was no cab
in sight. I thought he might be at the corner,
so I.
Speaker 2: Started walking past the alley. Here.
Speaker 6: Yes, mister Dollar, why would anyone want to beat me up?
Speaker 2: I'm going to think of one possibility. Mantell is you
wanted the Sabala diamond pretty badly, but went with wouldn't
sell at your price? You suggesting I'm suggesting you lifted
the diamond and somebody was trying to get it back
from you. Just now.
Speaker 6: I don't have the time, I never did.
Speaker 2: Maybe you know where it is.
Speaker 6: No, I swear I don't. I was forgetting beaten up
just now. I am every bit as much in the
dark as you are.
Speaker 2: I didn't know whether he was telling the truth or not,
but I had no proof he was lying. I had
him five a dollar, even a pot of coffee at
my hotel Roman. I tried to pull some threads together,
but they didn't pull. If Mantell had the stone? Who
phoned me sent the empty jewel case to convince me
he had information? How did he fit? Yeah? Con Ah,
why worth come in here, mister Dollary.
Speaker 4: I have some information that will interest you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, First though, I owe you an apology for
well flying off the handle when I saw you with
Eloise and Antonio. Okay, okay, see it'll touch you about Aloise.
Now what's the information? Well, just a few minutes to go,
a man telephoned me at my apartment. Huh, and I
think he was the same one who phoned you and
sent the empty jewel case. What he said that he
knew where the diamond was and for a price, would
furnish the information. Ah. Now I wonder why he suddenly
switched negotiations from me to you.
Speaker 4: Well, perhaps he thought it too dangerous to continue with you.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Maybe, Speaking of danger, I wish I could locate
this character before something happens to him.
Speaker 4: That's the point, mister dollar. I think I know where
he is.
Speaker 2: H But he must have placed his call to me
through a switchboard, because I heard an operator in the
background saying Hotel Masefield, Hotel Macefield, thanks for the lead,
went Worth, I'll check with you later. I headed for
the Macefield and described the man I was looking forward
to the desk clerk. The clerk said his name was Krauss,
that he checked out that morning. This I didn't get
because he'd called went with from the hotel. Shortly before
I had the clerk let me in the cross's room,
hoping I could find some lead on where he'd gone.
I did a scratch pad with the imprint of a
pencil still visible, a phone number and a name Catcart hotel.
I headed there fast and was referred to room four thirteen.
Fellow Kraus there must have been a steak. My name
is Colin. Unerve me that your name's Krauss and you're
the guy who phoned me and said he had information
about that diamond. No, no, no, that's wrong. Come on,
let's quit playing games. When you call Wentworth a while
ago he found out the name of the hotel, shall I?
Speaker 3: I haven't talked him since?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought.
Speaker 8: What with?
Speaker 2: Why about that phone call? Why because he hoped i'd
find you for him, but you had talked to him earlier. Yeah.
The theft of that diamond was rigged between you and Wentworth,
wasn't it? And you slugged him to make it look legitimate.
Well yeah, yeah, but now you're hiding from Wentworth. Why
what happened to your cozy little partnership?
Speaker 4: It was blackmail? Dollar Worth, don't move either of you.
Speaker 2: Well what it looks as though I figured you right.
You thought I might have better luck finding Krause than
you had, so you gave me his last known address
and followed me. Now, what's this about blackmail? I thought
I could trust you, Kraus. Look, I wasn't really going
to blackmail. You got to believe that. I think I
get it. Now, Kraus was supposed to turn the stone
over you after a decent time and elapsed and Steady
held on to it and tried to blackmail you about
your being involved in the fake robbery. That's why he
pretended to open negotiations with me to scare you into buying. Yes,
but you made a big mistake, Krause, trying to blackmail
a desperate man.
Speaker 4: I had no money to pay you.
Speaker 2: I needed every cent from the insurance and from what
we'd get for the stone when it was caught and sold.
Why worth? Why do you need the money for Aloise?
For Eloise? Does she know about all this?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: No, she knows nothing about this, But she she wants
so many things, and I want to give them to her.
I've got to I've got you to hold on to her. Brother. Oh,
you wouldn't understand. You don't know what it's like when
a girl like that gets into your blood. You're willing
to do anything like a couple of murders went with,
You're willing to add them to your list. Two yes, yes,
I am on our love. Put that thing down. Why
don't you stop kidding yourself about Aloise?
Speaker 4: She loves me?
Speaker 2: Dollar, I tell you she loves Are you kidding? She
told me what she loves making money? How long do
you think she'd stick with you after the money ran out?
Get back, stay where you're You're a thief and a
fool went with but you're not a killer. Stay away,
So you just better give me that gun right now. Thanks.
Speaker 4: You're right about Eloise.
Speaker 2: I guess I always knew.
Speaker 4: It, but I just I just couldn't face it.
Speaker 2: You just did, and you were right about me.
Speaker 4: Dollar, I'm no killing.
Speaker 2: You want to know something went Worth? I wasn't sure
about that at all. Expense account total including the trip
home one hundred and forty six dollars, even remarks Klaus
handed over the diamond. He and Wentworth are both in custody.
It was Wentworth who beat up Mantel for hanging around Eloise.
And Eloise last I heard, she was going her merry way,
having fun, as she calls it, I never did accept
her invitation to join her after the diamond have been recovered,
and I'm not about to yours, truly, Johnny Dollar, Our
star will return in just a moment.
Speaker 8: Our flag now number is fifty stars, and behind each
star there stands yet another flag representing one of the
fifty states. The origin of Hawaii State flag has been
the subject of much debate. It is now believed that
it was the work of foreign advisors to King Kameya Maya.
Legend also has it that it was designed at the
request of King Kameya Maya by George Beckley, an English
sea captain. The flag consists of eight horizontal and alternating
stripes of white, red, and blue, representing the eight major
islands in the chain. Also represented is the British Union Jack,
a reminder of Captain Vancouver, who, on his voyage around
the world in seventeen ninety four, gave King Kamea Maya
a British flag and the promise of British protection. The
Union Jack is also a reminder of Captain James Cook,
who discovered the Hawaiian Islands in seventeen seventy eight. Hawaii
State Flag, the flag of the fiftieth state to enter
the Union, was adopted in eighteen forty five. Now here's
our star to tell you about next week's story.
Speaker 2: Next week, Well, the title of the iron is the
Ghost to Ghost Matter, and the story lives up to it.
So join us, won't you? Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. Yours
Truly Johnny Dollar, starring Bob Bailey, originates in Hollywood and
is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone. Today's story was
written by Robert Stanley. Heard in our cast were Virginia,
Greg Larry Dobkin, Boris Lewis, Edgar Berrier, and Don Diamond.
Be sure to join us next week, same time and
station for another exciting story of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar.
This is Dan cubberly speaking. This is the United States
Armed Forces Radio and Television Service.
Speaker 1: Welcome back. So once again we get a gold digger,
though in some ways always is a bit of a
figure ahead of her time. She was what we might call,
in modern parlance, an ethical gold digger who lets you
know that she was a gold digger. At least she
was electively ethical. She let Johnny know that she was
a gold digger. She may have let Wentworth know, and
he was just not right enough to notice. Of course,
ethical gold diggers are a rare breed, and there's a
reason for that, because admitting to being a gold digger
kind of kills the game. And that's true for gold
diggers of either sex. I mean, what she did would
be the equivalent of a man today admitting to being
only interested in beer and PlayStation games. So no points
to Johnny Ford not being interested. He seemed awfully proud
of not following up with a woman who told him
that she was really just interested in his expense account.
I'm also not sure what the point of beating up
man Tell was unless it was just a random thing
that happened, and that does happen in big cities, even
back in nineteen fifty eight, certainly. And then, of course
you have another tease for the next week's episode titled
the Ghost Ghost Man, and we'll have to find out
whether Johnny is right that it lives up to its
name or dies down to it. I guess all right, Well,
listener comments and feedback, and we've got some comments on
YouTube regarding the Wayward Trout matter. We start with Mark,
who notes Los Angeles the older pronunciation was present in
this particular episode, and that is an interesting point. Now,
those who've been listening a while will remember an episode
of Dangerous Assignment we played about a year and a
half or two years ago where it was mentioned that
the decision had been reached and what I think it
was in nineteen fifty two that Los Angeles was the
official pronunciation. But old habits die hard for many people.
Ranzer writes, love the interaction between Johnny and Buster. These
two seem to really lock working together, and I think
that there really is some fun energy between Bob Bailey
and Barney Phillips. And you can hear that in a
lot of the pre Buster Faber Johnny Dollar five parters,
and so you kind of get the feeling that the
recurring role of Buster was created to kind of harness
that and to give Johnny this sort of unique friend
who can act as a partner from time to time.
And another listener comments, I'm actually surprised there isn't some
kind of classic noar movie and radio detective conventions. There
are soap operas, Hallmark Christmas movies, and game show conventions.
Why not a classic movie and a noir detective convention. Well,
thanks so much for the comment. In many ways, it
just comes down to finding the combination. There are plenty
of mystery conventions out there. A lot of them tend
to be geared more towards riders. There's some fans that go,
but there's a huge professional development element for mystery writers.
There is also a convention called Narkon being held in
Palm Springs October twenty three to twenty six. Kind of interesting.
It's actually a bi annual conference, and as someone who
actually organized small writers' conferences, I like the idea of
a biannual conference because it's kind of exhausting when you
do the annual event because once you the way it works, essentially,
you begin really soon after the end of the last
event planning for the next one. So the idea of
taking a year between sounds great. But anyway, there is
Noarkon over in Palm Springs, and they have a focus
on books and films, but nothing on radio. Now you
have a convention there that's pretty close. They just need
to incorporate the radio element. But with a lot of things,
it's just a matter of who's organizing it and how
they see the connection. Thanks so much for the comment.
I did not actually know about Noarkon until I started
researching your question, so I appreciate you bringing it up.
And this one comes from I think Skala or I'm
probably mispronouncing that, but she writes and this one is
on Facebook regarding the Eastern Western matter. I'm sure someone
mentioned this to you already, but I had to chuckle
when you wondered who would take a slede to Florida
as a native who moved to Georgia, my dad told
me they sled it on cookie sheets and cardboard boxes.
Obviously this worked better for small children. Thank you for
all the great shows. I learn a lot and enjoy
so much about your podcast. Well, thank you so much.
I appreciate it, and really was actually a unique comment,
and so I was glad to learn that from you. Well,
now it's time to thank our Patreon supporter of the day,

Speaker 9: Of Lieutenant Buman out of your window? Yeah, what about it?
Speaker 10: In those green forests, as you may know, still roam
the ancient pecocks and the sacred elephants of Siam.
Speaker 9: Louis, I may as well tell you right now there
are four things I know definitely about your country. What
are these?
Speaker 6: My friend?
Speaker 9: The Siamese twins were named Bang and Chang, Siamese cats,
and blue Eye. Somebody wrote a book called Anna and
the King of Siam. And what is the fought Tan
Yak Dai fuying Mai? The one line I know of
your language, which translated means.
Speaker 1: Do you want to meet the go?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 10: Well, rest easy. There will be no need for you
to speak more of the language. Must a ghost have
need of words? Once we arrive at Bangkok, you will
be spirited from one place to another, my friend, as
a ghost.
Speaker 9: Fasten your seat belt, kindly fasten your seat belt.
Speaker 2: We are coming into the Don Guang Fie.
Speaker 9: Well, so far this has been too easy. Rang going
to a secret airport and Siam, will you pick me
up on this plane? And here we are in Bangkok.
Is this another hidden the field? Louis No, not exactly.
What do you mean, not exactly?
Speaker 10: Oh, I should say that at about eight hundred jets
on hand about the field. Huh, fasten your seat belt.
Speaker 6: Look.
Speaker 1: I hope you'll be with us then in the meantime.
