Speaker 2: Now.

13
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:15,719
Speaker 1: From July ninth, nineteen fifty, here is the problem of

14
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,239
the peculiar payoff.

15
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 3: The National Broadcasting Company delays the start of this program

16
00:01:21,159 --> 00:01:25,439
to bring you a special bulletin from the NBC newsroom

17
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,760
in New York. A display of perfect teamwork by American

18
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,400
ground and air forces has stalled the Communist drive on

19
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:34,760
the Chonnan front. One dispatch says the North Koreans have

20
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,359
suffered their first real thrashing of the invasion, and their

21
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,280
push on Tajan with fifty thousand troops has been halted,

22
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,760
at least for the moment. At a point some thirty

23
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,840
five miles from Tajan, he tuned to your NBC station

24
00:01:48,079 --> 00:02:11,080
for the later news.

Crime now commis to radio Transcribe, starring Hollywood's brilliant and

00:02:47,479 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 5: Tie.

31
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 6: You didn't want to tax you, mister templar. I got

32
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:50,879
a car right here?

33
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,439
Speaker 5: What we Augie coffled. Wait when did you leave Alcatraz? Oh?

34
00:02:56,479 --> 00:02:59,039
Speaker 6: I got my diploma a couple of months ago. Now

35
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,240
I'm back on the apple. Oh hop in?

36
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 5: Are you going my way? Yeah?

37
00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:04,319
Speaker 6: I'm going your way?

38
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 5: All right? Thanks, you're sure it's no trouble.

39
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,159
Speaker 6: It's no trouble. Move into the driver's seat.

40
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 5: You want me to drive?

41
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:12,479
Speaker 6: That's right?

42
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 5: Why? Oh, don't tell me. This is a hot car

43
00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:17,719
and you don't want to be found at the wheel.

44
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,039
Speaker 6: How did you guess?

45
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,319
Speaker 5: Argie? Didn't you learn anything in prison?

46
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,479
Speaker 6: Yeah? I learned crime does not pay. Besides which it

47
00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:25,360
is against the law.

48
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,879
Speaker 5: Well, I'm glad to hear it, didn't you know? I mean,

49
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,280
I'm glad to find out you know.

50
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 6: Oh sure, mister Templar. I learned my lessons. I'm off

51
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:34,280
crime for keep.

52
00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 5: But then this car, ain't it a beute?

53
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 6: And the keys was in it? With a setup like that,

54
00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:41,639
it'll be a crime not.

55
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:42,199
Speaker 5: To take it.

56
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 6: And like I said, yes.

57
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,439
Speaker 5: You're off crime for Keith.

58
00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:48,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, now let's go. Sholley shot her apple.

59
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,719
Speaker 5: But Augie, you like I tell you, Oh, certainly.

60
00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:54,599
Speaker 6: Agie, that's right now put her in the face.

61
00:03:54,759 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 5: Oh, Augie, why didn't you swipe a car with automatic drive?

62
00:03:57,919 --> 00:03:58,639
While you're at it?

63
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:03,919
Speaker 6: I just was thinking, Age, why the gun? So you'll

64
00:04:03,919 --> 00:04:07,000
do like I tell you? Oh, that's how come you're driving.

65
00:04:07,759 --> 00:04:08,919
I want to keep my eye on you.

66
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 5: The eye. I don't mind. It's the gun. I resent

67
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,039
put it away and I'll be grateful as long as

68
00:04:14,039 --> 00:04:14,360
I live.

69
00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 6: Trouble is, you ain't gonna live very long.

70
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,199
Speaker 5: Oh so that's how we stand.

71
00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm sorry, mister Templar, But what can I do?

72
00:04:24,319 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 5: The job's a job. Chuck the job, you know, the

73
00:04:27,079 --> 00:04:28,680
saying all work and no play.

74
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,959
Speaker 6: Oh, I'll play after I knock off.

75
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 5: You mean after you knock me off, that's right. But Argie,

76
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,680
you know if you kill me, you'll hate yourself in

77
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:37,160
the morning.

78
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know, But if I don't know, hate myself tonight.

79
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 5: It's a cash deal. And if I top whatever you're getting.

80
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,519
Speaker 6: No dice. I got my reputation to think of.

81
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 5: Oh pardon me for being crewed.

82
00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 6: Oh that's all right, mister Templer.

83
00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 5: Well, as long as you're determined to get rid of me,

84
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,360
at least tell me who's getting the orders.

85
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,199
Speaker 6: Oh sorry, that's confidential.

86
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 5: Oh, I won't breathe it to a living soul, believe me.

87
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,399
Speaker 6: Huh. Oh, I guess you won'ted that, so there's no harm.

88
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,879
I guess you're right under the circumstances. Well, then it's

89
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,600
a guy named Ronald Stanton.

90
00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 5: Ronald Stanton? Who's he?

91
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 6: In my business? You don't ask questions, all right?

92
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 5: A guy named Ronald Stanton? But what he got against me?

93
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 7: Look?

94
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 6: In my business?

95
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,199
Speaker 5: Yes, But in my business you do well?

96
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,879
Speaker 6: All I know. Stanton calls me in, gives me the assignment,

97
00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:30,759
gives me a down payment, and I get the rest

98
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,439
on delivery of my court.

99
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:32,879
Speaker 8: Right.

100
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,879
Speaker 5: Well, it's nice work. If you can get it.

101
00:05:35,399 --> 00:05:38,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm sorry about this, mister Templar, but times are tough.

102
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,519
You've got to take what comes along. Opportunity only knocks once.

103
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 5: The guy's gotta live my sentiments exactly.

104
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 6: Hey, wait a minute, what are you doing?

105
00:05:49,319 --> 00:05:50,879
Speaker 5: I'm just having got the cat put out?

106
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 9: I said, slot on a plugget I think.

107
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 5: We can find a coffin.

108
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 10: Built for two. Quote you're trying to do.

109
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,199
Speaker 2: Scare me to say?

110
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:03,079
Speaker 10: If I thought, if you don't stop, yes, if you

111
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,240
don't stop, you said that.

112
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 6: Before, please, mister Templar, Oh you want me to stop?

113
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 3: No?

114
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 5: Oh?

115
00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 6: Well what what hit mean?

116
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 5: The windshield? And now I'll take that gun? Come on,

117
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,160
ag you snap out of.

118
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 6: It, Templar. What was the idea? Don't you realize we

119
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,759
might have been killed?

120
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 10: Never mind, join, I'll get it. I'm expecting that it

121
00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:48,839
is very good, sir.

122
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:55,319
Speaker 5: Yes are you Ronald Stanton? Yes? And you Simon Templar, right.

123
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,079
Speaker 10: Simon Templar, as I live and breathe.

124
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,639
Speaker 5: No, as I do. Surprise, isn't it? Where's Augie nosing

125
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:02,319
a headache?

126
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 10: Dear me? I should have known me.

127
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:05,639
Speaker 5: I come in. I want to talk to you, certainly,

128
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,839
certainly said the spider to the fly. But before you

129
00:07:07,879 --> 00:07:11,079
get any ideas, mister Stanton, I've left word. I was

130
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,240
coming here so for your.

131
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 10: Thing, I quite understand. Come in right. Oh, you have

132
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,199
nothing to worry about, mister Templer. I am constitutionally incapable

133
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,720
of violence. That's why I'm forced to depend upon dullud's

134
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,439
like ogi. As a matter of fact, I'm really in

135
00:07:24,519 --> 00:07:27,000
every way unsuited for the sort of work I've engaged in.

136
00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:29,439
I should have been an artist. I have the soul

137
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,639
of an artist, the temperament of an artist, the intellect

138
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,199
of an artist.

139
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 5: And why aren't you an artist?

140
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 10: My paintings stink? Oh, so you'll find me a swindler

141
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,680
instead degrading. But a man must live, though, I've heard,

142
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,680
And at least it does involve the intelligence matching one's

143
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:45,439
wits as it were.

144
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 5: Oh, dear me, what's the matter?

145
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 10: I just remembered I must make a note to call

146
00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:52,800
the florist in the morning and cancel the flowers for

147
00:07:52,879 --> 00:07:55,160
your funeral. You won't be needing them, will you not?

148
00:07:55,279 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 5: If I can help it.

149
00:07:56,439 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 10: Pity, they were gorgeous. You'd have loved them.

150
00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 5: While I'll try to be up.

151
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 10: Well now to business. I suppose you've come here for

152
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,079
your money, have I? Since I'm afraid i'd have to pay.

153
00:08:07,839 --> 00:08:10,360
By the way, you're not going to hold this unpleasantness

154
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,560
with Aggie against me I or.

155
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 5: A little thing like that. Don't be said.

156
00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 10: I knew you'd understand. It was a natural move on

157
00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:19,600
my part. Anyone would have done the same rather than pay.

158
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:21,120
You would have yourself.

159
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,639
Speaker 5: I wouldn't have used doggy, neither shall I next time.

160
00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 10: But since you and I understand each other, it won't

161
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,519
affect our daring. Not only good then it's still just

162
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:30,600
the agreed upon amount.

163
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, the agreed upon amount.

164
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 10: Excellent. I may not have it all here through. We'll

165
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,960
see how much is in the safe. Just a moment,

166
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,960
afraid this isn't quite enough. Let me count it.

167
00:08:45,039 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 5: Don't you ever keep that safe blocked?

168
00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 10: I never can remember the combination. No, no, this is

169
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,240
only twelve thousand, only twelve thousand. Yes, you see, I

170
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,559
really didn't expect you. If you come to the office

171
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,879
in the morning, I'll give you the other three. Will

172

Speaker 5: What do I want? We'll get around to that later.

Speaker 7: Yes, mister Stanton were breaks? Isn't he in his office?

209
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 10: I've been bunning no answer. I'll find him, will you?

210
00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:25,919
Speaker 7: Yes, mister Standon, he was here a little while of them.

00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,919
Speaker 5: I've just been put to sleep with you in my dreams.

213
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,679
I don't want to wake up. What happened? You took

214
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,919
the words right out of my mouth where I wouldn't know?

215
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:38,519
Speaker 7: Is he the one who knocked you?

216
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 9: Are?

217
00:11:38,759 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 5: I wouldn't be surprised. But what that is, they say,

218
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:42,440
is the question?

219
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 7: And why did he tell you that? Mister Stanton?

220
00:11:44,639 --> 00:11:47,519
Speaker 5: Wasn't he? That is? They say? Say? How many questions

221
00:11:47,519 --> 00:11:49,879
are they? And as long as questions seem to be

222
00:11:49,919 --> 00:11:52,919
in order allow me? Is mister Stanton in?

223
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 7: Yes, he's been in all morning, so I couldn't understand it.

224
00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 5: What helped me up? William Oh of course, thanks, what

225
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,960
nice leaning on you. I must remember to get knocked

226
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:05,840
out more often.

227
00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 9: Do you think you can walk?

228
00:12:07,399 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 5: Probably? But I don't feel inclined to find out.

229
00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:12,799
Speaker 7: Well, we can't just stand here with our arms around

230
00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:13,200
each other.

231
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 5: You can't.

232
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 11: Second thought, perhaps we can.

233
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 7: And thought we can't?

234
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,279
Speaker 10: It comes miss well, Well, well, isn't this jumpy?

235
00:12:21,639 --> 00:12:25,159
Speaker 7: This is mister temperam at. He's just had a frightful experience.

236
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,039
Speaker 10: And I'm rightful quite the countrary, i'd say. I mean

237
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,679
he was knocked out naturally. One look at you and any.

238
00:12:30,759 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 5: I mean literally with a sap of blackjack? What oh no?

239
00:12:34,519 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 10: Oh, yes, but that's incredible.

240
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 5: Why I'm afraid you'll have to ask your secretary.

241
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 10: Oh, yes, Briggs? Where is he?

242
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 7: I can't find him, mister Stanton. He seems to have

243
00:12:43,399 --> 00:12:44,080
left the office.

244
00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 5: Could he have left without your thing?

245
00:12:46,039 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 9: Yes, mister Temple.

246
00:12:47,759 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 10: But are you Are you trying to say that Briggs

247
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:50,759
knocked you out?

248
00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:52,399
Speaker 5: Mister Temple, it's so hard to believe.

249
00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 10: He just don't understand it.

250
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,399
Speaker 5: Well, I came here for sugar, so I suppose he

251
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:57,639
decided to give me my love?

252
00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 10: Quite good, quite good? Ah, yes, sugar, you want the

253
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,600
three thousands. I'll get it for you, mister Templer, all right,

254
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,440
and we're agreed. This settles my account anyway.

255
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,879
Speaker 5: Yes, Dan, it does, but I still have an account

256
00:13:08,919 --> 00:13:10,559
to settle with mister Briggs.

257
00:13:25,799 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 10: Hello, Linda, Oh, mister, I didn't expect to see you.

258
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:32,279
Speaker 5: I invited you for dinner. Did you think I understand

259
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:32,519
you on?

260
00:13:32,759 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 7: I mean, under the circumstance?

261
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 5: What circumstances?

262
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 7: Haven't you heard?

263
00:13:36,759 --> 00:13:38,039

Speaker 5: I'll settle with him later right now?

265
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 7: An't you afraid you'll be seen?

266
00:13:40,919 --> 00:13:42,799
Speaker 5: Now? Don't tell me you have a jealous husband.

267
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 7: I don't have a husband.

268
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,919
Speaker 5: Life can be beautiful, but the police are a very

269
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,080
dull topic of conversation. I prefer they're looking for you

270
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,279
for me. Yes, i'll buy a dog license.

271
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 7: It's not about a dog license. I told you they've bound.

272
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,519
Speaker 5: Break so you did. What's he been saying about me?

273
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 10: Nothing? Dead men never do well?

274
00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 5: Dead men? Yes?

275
00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 7: Didn't you know he's been murdered?

276
00:14:06,279 --> 00:14:09,399
Speaker 10: I beg your pardon, monsieur. Would you can't do our sir?

277
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,879
Speaker 5: I'd be very honest with you, Captain. I I'm not

278
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,360
a bit hungry, but monsieur mess no, no, thank you,

279
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,879
but fair faces on the black tells the chef to

280
00:14:18,919 --> 00:14:25,120
have one on me. Now, Linda, what were we talking about, Oh, Simon,

281
00:14:25,759 --> 00:14:27,360
So I'm suspect number one?

282
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 7: Yes, did you do it?

283
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 5: Kill Briggs? I hardly knew him. I only killed old friend.

284
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,159
Speaker 7: You don't seem to realize how serious this is.

285
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 5: My conscience is clear, and I've got a good lawyer.

286
00:14:36,679 --> 00:14:40,120
Tell me something about Stanton, Linda, what about what's his racket?

287
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,039
Speaker 7: Why he's in the real estate business, so.

288
00:14:42,039 --> 00:14:44,519
Speaker 5: It says on his door. But what's his racket? I

289
00:14:44,559 --> 00:14:46,519
don't understand, I wondered.

290
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 7: All I know is mister Stanton has some big projects

291
00:14:49,279 --> 00:14:50,879
on the way. He's been selling.

292
00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 5: Stock in it, so that's it. What the racket?

293
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,639
Speaker 7: I don't know about it being a racket.

294
00:14:55,639 --> 00:14:56,399
Speaker 11: It's a business deal.

295
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,159
Speaker 10: I thought it was legitimate.

296
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 5: Look, you don't pay off somebody to the un a

297
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,440
fifteen thousand to shut him up about a legitimate business deal.

298
00:15:03,879 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 7: Did mister Stanton do that? Mm hm, Well, I don't

299
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:07,679
know much about it.

300
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,559
Speaker 10: I've only worked for him a short while.

301
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 7: Who did he pay off you? But you said you

302
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:13,600
didn't know.

303
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 5: I didn't, But then we all make mistakes.

304
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,799
Speaker 7: You mean, mister Stanton is a swindler, and he thought

305
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,480
you found out, so he paid you to shut up.

306
00:15:20,519 --> 00:15:23,080
M that's right, and you accepted his money.

307
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,399
Speaker 5: Well, it seemed a shame to spoil his fun, but

308
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:30,519
I'll contribute it to a worthy cause. Do you feel

309
00:15:30,559 --> 00:15:31,320
like a worthy car?

310
00:15:31,759 --> 00:15:34,279
Speaker 7: But what made mister Stanton think that you knew Briggs?

311
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 5: Obviously he must have been blackmailing Stanton? In my name?

312
00:15:37,799 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 7: Why your name?

313
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,919
Speaker 5: If I say so myself, Linda and I do. It's

314
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,000
a name that carries weight with the underworld.

315
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,519
Speaker 7: But why didn't he use his own name?

316
00:15:44,679 --> 00:15:49,159
Speaker 5: He anticipated Augie ru blackmail is a hazardous occupation. Briggs

317
00:15:49,159 --> 00:15:51,639
wanted to avoid the hazards, so he used my name,

318
00:15:51,799 --> 00:15:54,320
probably intending to send a messenger for the money. But

319
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,840
Stanton jumped the gun by sending Augie after me. Who

320
00:15:57,919 --> 00:16:00,080
is Augie one of Nature's.

321
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 10: Mister, that's not very specific.

322
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 5: If I were any more specific about Augie, i'd spoil

323
00:16:04,759 --> 00:16:07,159
your appetite. And it's time for dinner, So let's forget

324
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,919
about Augie in order, shall.

325
00:16:08,679 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 12: We actually tacky?

326

Speaker 6: You don't want to tax you, mister templar, I got

327
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:27,600
a car ride here.

328
00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:28,759
Speaker 5: So speak of the devil.

329
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,279
Speaker 6: Were you speaking of the devil.

330
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,759
Speaker 5: Mister Templar figuratively argame, Oh, Linda, this is Augae.

331
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:35,519
Speaker 10: I see.

332
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 6: Likewise, I am charming to have met you. It is

333
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,720
a pleasure. Now scram what scram?

334
00:16:42,879 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 5: I'm afraid you'd better scram, Linda.

00:16:45,519 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 7: Will you be all right?

336
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm sure Augie will take care of me, won't you? Argue?

337
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:49,519
Speaker 8: Yeah?

338

Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, Now, look, sister, you don't scram so good?

339
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,320
You want I should show you how?

340
00:16:54,519 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 5: No, she don't want you should show her how? Go

341
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:57,960
on and call you later.

342
00:16:58,919 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 6: All right, you wait, and you, mister Templar, get in

343
00:17:03,799 --> 00:17:05,480

344
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 5: Uh me a gun again? Argue this is where I

345
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:09,279
came in.

346
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 6: I mean, this is where you get in. Go ahead,

347
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,680
all right, argue this time I drive.

348
00:17:14,799 --> 00:17:17,319
Speaker 5: Oh I'm hurt. You didn't like my driving, so your height.

349
00:17:18,039 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 6: I let you driver, both behading. My left hand stays

350
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,400
him my lap with the gun. So just sit quiet.

351
00:17:26,759 --> 00:17:29,799
Speaker 5: I see Baton changed his mind about what firing you?

352
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 6: Why should he fire me?

353
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 5: He was very upset by last night fiasco.

354
00:17:33,839 --> 00:17:36,319
Speaker 6: Well, mister Stampton is not a man to hold a grudge.

355
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 5: Oh I see.

356
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 6: Besides, which I know too much about what things.

357
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 5: Well, I'm glad you've kept your job. I'd hate to

358
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,240
be taken for a ride by a really efficient hoodlum.

359
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 6: That's no way to talk, mister Templar. I'll have you know,

360
00:17:49,839 --> 00:17:50,799
I ain't no hoodlum.

361
00:17:50,839 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. I stand correct.

362
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,039
Speaker 6: You'll sit right where you are yet argue and no

363
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,599
tricks this time, No, ugy, we ain't going to have

364
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:58,559
another Forabasco.

365
00:17:58,799 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 5: No argue.

366
00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 6: I am a careful driver, so I see.

367
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,759
Speaker 5: But now let's see how you do with my foot

368
00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:05,200
on yours.

369
00:18:06,039 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 6: What were you going?

370
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:13,039
Speaker 5: August? All right, August, hey, engratulations, Augie, you're really a

371
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,599
late When you grabbed that wheel, of course, when you

372
00:18:15,599 --> 00:18:16,880
grab the wheel, I grabbed the gun.

373
00:18:17,079 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 6: Oh this is getting monotonous.

374
00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 5: Well, I'm willing to quit if you are.

375
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 6: Believe me, mister Templar. I am giving it serious consideration.

376
00:18:36,839 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 10: Mister Templar, as you live and breathe quite But where's Aggie?

377
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 5: He met with another Forabasco.

378
00:18:41,759 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 10: I beg your pardon.

379
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,599
Speaker 5: You are too stanton, and you can cancel the flowers again.

380
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:46,359
I'm still alive.

381
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,519
Speaker 10: Why, of course you are. Why shouldn't you? Oh, oh,

382
00:18:49,599 --> 00:18:51,480
dear me, did you think that Augie was trying to

383
00:18:51,559 --> 00:18:53,160
kill you again, wasn't he dear me?

384
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:53,319
Speaker 11: No?

385
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:54,839
Speaker 10: I simply asked him to bring you here.

386
00:18:55,039 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 5: He doesn't extend a very cordial invitation.

387
00:18:57,079 --> 00:18:57,799
Speaker 10: No, I'm afraid not.

388
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,519
Speaker 5: But here I am anyway, Stanton. So what do you want?

389
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,319
Speaker 10: It's rather difficult to ask.

390
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 5: Without Augie, you shouldn't be hard to ask. It might

391
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,119
be hard to get yes.

392
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 10: But since Augie failed again, why did.

393
00:19:08,519 --> 00:19:10,519
Speaker 5: You come to find out? Why you sticked him on

394
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,880
knee again? I understood that when you paid me off

395
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,000
this morning, we were quit.

396
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,319
Speaker 10: Ah, but that was before the murder.

397
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 5: That also matters.

398
00:19:17,519 --> 00:19:21,079
Speaker 10: Oh, you have fifteen thousand dollars of mine you're I

399
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,920
don't wish to discuss ethics, mister Templar. Let's just view

400
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,519
this pragmatically as simply a bit of tit for tat

401
00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:26,960
says it.

402
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 5: Were very well pragmatic tit for tat? What does it mean?

403
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 10: I paid you fifteen thousand dollars for silence? I thought

404
00:19:33,519 --> 00:19:34,279
you might care.

405
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 5: To repay me the fifteen for same? What would I

406
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,559
want you to be silent about?

407
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 10: You're whereabouts? The police are looking for the man who

408
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,359
was in Stanton's office this morning. I think if you

409
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,640
were here in Augie's custody, I could offer you the

410
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,440
choice of freedom or arrest. But since Augie once again

411
00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:52,279
failed me, the whole matter becomes an academic question.

412
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 9: Mm hmm.

413
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 10: But you can't blame me for trying. After all, you

414
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,039
would have done the same. In fact, h did the same. Eh.

415
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,359
Every man for himself and no hard feelings.

416
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 5: Right, quite, good night, mister Stanton. Hello, Hello, Linda Simon.

417
00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 13: Are you all right?

418
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,839
Speaker 5: It is a bull fiddle? Linda. Do you have a

419
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:33,680
key to the office.

420
00:20:33,759 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 8: Yes?

421
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 5: Good, I'll meet you there in twenty minutes, because I

422
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,359
don't have a key. I mean, why do you want

423
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,039
to get into the office to find something? What a clue?

424
00:20:41,279 --> 00:20:41,839
Speaker 12: What clue?

425
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,839
Speaker 5: How should I know? I haven't found it yet? What

426
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,519
you expect with your help?

427
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:46,559
Speaker 7: All right, I'll be there.

428
00:20:46,759 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 5: Look out for Stanton.

429
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:48,079
Speaker 8: Why.

430
00:20:48,319 --> 00:20:49,799
Speaker 5: I have an idea he'll be coming too.

431
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:50,799
Speaker 10: Oh did you ask?

432
00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:52,759
Speaker 5: No? But I don't think he needs an invitation.

433
00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:54,519
Speaker 7: And you don't want him to see me.

434
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 5: Not until we're in the office. I don't want to

435
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:57,680
scare him away.

436
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,319
Speaker 7: Oh it begins to sound office.

437
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,559
Speaker 5: You're afraid not as long as you order. I wonder

438
00:21:02,559 --> 00:21:05,200
how I ought to take that as a co all Right,

439
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:18,200
I'll be waiting, Linda, hurry right on the note. Well,

440
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:23,200
let's go in, all right, don't turn on the light.

441
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,079
I don't want Stanton to know we're here. What have

442
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:25,559
you seen?

443
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:27,759
Speaker 7: What makes you so sure?

444
00:21:27,759 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 13: He's color just.

445
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 5: Paid him a visit. I could see who was packing.

446
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,759
He's preventing to leave town, and he'll probably want to

447
00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:34,000
clean out the office first.

448
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,799
Speaker 10: He's running away, it would seem.

449
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 11: Well, now what do we do.

450
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 5: I'm going in back to see what I can find.

451
00:21:39,319 --> 00:21:41,599
You stay here at your desk. If Stanton comes.

452
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 7: Buzz me, you mean I stay alone in the dark.

453
00:21:43,319 --> 00:21:45,039
Speaker 5: I'll only be a minute and then we'll stay together

454
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:45,799
in the dark.

455
00:21:46,039 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 11: All right.

456
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:48,279
Speaker 7: Can you find your way to the door?

457
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I found it.

458
00:21:51,720 --> 00:22:04,559
Speaker 13: I'll be right back, all right, Yes, Simon, you.

459
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,039
Speaker 5: Want something, shoulder, Well, i'll be right out.

460
00:22:09,519 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 13: Yes, already already.

461
00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:14,599
Speaker 5: You don't know the thing. I'll be right out and

462
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:24,160
give you a chance to learn. Fine, Yes, Linda's do

463
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,000
you see what I see?

464
00:22:25,279 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 11: I don't see anything.

465
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:34,559
Speaker 5: It's so dark at the door, silhouette. Oh hello, Stanton, dear,

466
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,240
let me turn the light on for you.

467
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 10: Oh oh, Templar and Linda.

468
00:22:38,519 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 5: Yes, we've been waiting for you, Stanton. How did you

469
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,599
know Elementary, My dear Stanton.

470
00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 10: Seems you've beaten me Templar to everything except it's the draw.

471
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:47,039
Put up your hand.

472
00:22:47,079 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 5: I thought gunplay with out of your line, mister Stanton.

473
00:22:49,279 --> 00:22:51,759
Speaker 10: Sometimes one is forced to take matters into one's own hands.

474
00:22:51,839 --> 00:22:53,880
But I assure you I don't relish it. So please

475
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,160
do as I say, both of you, because if I'm

476
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,559
forced to shoot you, I know I shall be quite ill.

477
00:22:58,640 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 7: What are you going to do?

478
00:22:59,559 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 10: If you will just stand quietly with.

479
00:23:01,319 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 5: Your hands raised, I have a better idea. He's between us, Linda.

480
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,559
He can't watch us both at the same time.

481
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 10: Get over next to your templates.

482
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 5: But nearly There's nothing I'd rather do, but under the circumstance.

483
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,599
Speaker 10: If you don't obey me, much as I hate the

484
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,440
sight of blood, I shall be fast to shoot you.

485
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,279
Speaker 5: In other words, that and there comes a time when

486
00:23:15,279 --> 00:23:16,640
even you are willing to commit.

487
00:23:16,519 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 10: Murder only when absolutely necessary.

488
00:23:18,519 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 5: It's a nice distinction.

489
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 10: I don't care to discuss it. Now, will you get

490
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,119
over next to Linda?

491
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,279
Speaker 5: On the contrary, Linda, while he's watching me, now's your

492
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,000
chance cloud him with that standing ash.

493
00:23:27,039 --> 00:23:29,039
Speaker 10: Now, now you don't, all right, stat.

494
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 5: Now that you've turned to her, I've got your cover.

495
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,079
Speaker 10: Drop your gun, all right, all right, don't shoot, And

496
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,599
I've told you I can't stand the sight of blood,

497
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,000
especially my own.

498
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 5: Pick up his gun, Linda, good, yeah, me.

499
00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:45,519
Speaker 10: Perhaps Oggie isn't so incompetent. After all, gun play can

500
00:23:45,559 --> 00:23:46,440
be quite complicated.

501
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,079
Speaker 5: Well, we'll send you where you can learn the art

502
00:23:48,079 --> 00:23:50,440
from experts. Let me have his gun, Linda, and then

503
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:51,519
you can call it police.

504
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,279
Speaker 10: All right, the police. But but you can't.

505
00:23:53,319 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 5: Can't wear you.

506
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,039
Speaker 10: You promised if I paid you there.

507
00:23:56,039 --> 00:23:59,559
Speaker 5: I didn't promise the things that that was Briggs. What besides,

508
00:23:59,599 --> 00:24:01,920
there's more more than just a swindle to settle. Let's

509
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:02,559
not overlook the.

510
00:24:02,599 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 10: Murder quite right, sir. You put the police onto me,

511
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,279
you'll have to face them for the murder charge.

512
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,319
Speaker 5: I wouldn't try to pin the murder on me, Stanton.

513
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,720
You see, I could point out that Briggs was blackmailing

514
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,680
you in my name. You found out about it.

515
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 10: And are you trying to say that I killed Brie.

516
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 5: This is as good as story as that I did.

517
00:24:17,799 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 10: Like you, you have no proof, Templar we'll see.

518
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,319
Speaker 5: I came here this morning at your invitation. Briggs was terrified.

519
00:24:23,519 --> 00:24:25,279
He didn't know you and I had met before. He

520
00:24:25,319 --> 00:24:27,200
thought if I talked to you, you'd find out I

521
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,400
wasn't the one who was blackmailing you, and it might

522
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,400
give Briggs this game away, so he knocked me out

523
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:32,759
to keep me from meeting you.

524
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 10: That still doesn't prove anything.

525
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,599
Speaker 5: Ah, Yes, proof, The proof of the pudding is in

526
00:24:36,599 --> 00:24:38,359
the eating. And you can't eat your proof and have

527
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:38,839
it too.

528
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 10: What on earth does that mean?

529
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 5: Nothing at all? God? Then to call the police, Yes, Templar, please,

530
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,359
the lady's phoning.

531
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:53,319
Speaker 14: Hello operator, I want the police, please, hello, Please, Can

532
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,119
you send a car to the Stanton real estate It's

533
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,000
on Hudson Street. We have a swindler and a murderer.

534
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,759
That's right, Yes, that's right, Athen goodbye, Templar.

535
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 5: You are making a big mistake, I know, but I

536
00:25:05,039 --> 00:25:07,039
wanted to give Linda a chance to complete the Car

537
00:25:07,079 --> 00:25:09,640
of Stanton. Naturally, she wouldn't have if I had said

538
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,920
she is the one who killed Brake. Why what Linda

539
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,079
looks like we never will get that chance to sit

540
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:15,960
in the dark together.

541
00:25:16,079 --> 00:25:16,839
Speaker 6: This is absurd.

542
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 10: Why would I want to kill.

543
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,559
Speaker 5: Break because you were in on his scheme with him,

544
00:25:20,559 --> 00:25:22,359
and you were afraid if he were caught at it

545
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,000
and talked, he'd imprecate you. So you killed him while

546
00:25:25,039 --> 00:25:28,440
I was unconscious. Why you're crazy is the usual line

547
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:29,319
at this point.

548
00:25:29,079 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 7: Where you are. I had nothing to do with Bride.

549
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 5: Yet when I came here and asked to see Stanton,

550
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,200
you left your desk and went in to get Briggs

551
00:25:35,279 --> 00:25:38,079
instead of talking to him on the intercom. Well, I

552
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,160
wanted to talk to him behind my back in case

553
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,279
he wanted to cook up a story. No, and why

554
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,839
didn't you use the intercom? It's connected with his office

555
00:25:44,839 --> 00:25:47,240
and it works. I checked, So that's.

556
00:25:47,039 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 11: What you were looking for.

557
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 7: You think you're so clever, Well you can just.

558
00:25:51,519 --> 00:26:11,279
Speaker 5: Start Linda, Linda, careful, remember I'm a saint. A taxi.

559
00:26:11,799 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 6: You don't want to tax you, mister Templar.

560
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 5: I got a car here, No argue, not again.

561
00:26:16,519 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 6: What's the matter, mister Templar. Don't you like my company?

562
00:26:19,279 --> 00:26:21,559
Speaker 5: It's not that argy. But I'm warning you if you

563
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,759
keep driving a hot car around town some night, police

564
00:26:24,759 --> 00:26:25,960
and it's going to speak.

565
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 6: Harshly to you and pull you in mister Templar. Yes, Argie,

566
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,200
to tell you the truth, it ain't.

567
00:26:32,039 --> 00:26:34,279
Speaker 5: A hot car, not even slightly warm.

568
00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 6: Nope, I bought it paid cash. But yeah, I wouldn't

569
00:26:40,519 --> 00:26:40,960
like it to go.

570
00:26:41,039 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 5: No further, I understand, Argie. Don't worry. I won't say

571
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,119
a word. I realized what it would do to your reputation.

572
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,839
Speaker 4: You have been listening to another adventure of the Saint,

573
00:27:02,039 --> 00:27:04,599
the robin Hoods of Modern Crime, and now here is

574
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:05,920
our starve and some priest.

575
00:27:06,319 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 5: This year, the Forest Service of the United States Department

576
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,200
of Agriculture prevails on the vacationing and motoring public to

577
00:27:13,279 --> 00:27:17,880
exercise extreme care with fire while living, working, or visiting

578
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:22,559
in or near forest and woodland areas. Remember, friends, it

579
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,599
only takes a moment carelessness or thoughtlessness to set fire

580
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,640
loose in the forest, So let's all be careful. This

581
00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:33,319
is Vincent Price inviting you to join us again next

582

Speaker 6: On NBC.

604
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: Welcome Back. Well, where else are you going to hear?

605
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,480
The voice of Vincent Price and the voice of Elmer

606
00:29:00,559 --> 00:29:02,279
Fudd in the same production.

607
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 12: Now, while there are.

608
00:29:04,119 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: Some radio stars whose voice I struggle to recognize, having

609
00:29:09,559 --> 00:29:16,160
grown up on watching Looney Tunes, I can pretty well

610
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,799
catch Arthur Q. Bryant's voice in all of its guises.

611
00:29:20,519 --> 00:29:25,960
But as a performer he always made interesting choices and

612
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,000
tried to make his characters distinct, But he wasn't one

613
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:35,000
of those actors who had like an entirely different sounding

614
00:29:35,119 --> 00:29:37,839
voice he could go to. But if you're not looking

615
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,640
for it, you're not going to catch it on things

616
00:29:41,839 --> 00:29:46,480
like him playing Floyd the Barber on The Great Guilder Sleeve,

617
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:52,319
or his time as Levinson on Richard Diamond or Doc

618
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,440
Pettybone on Fivver, McGee and Molly. But here he's blamed

619
00:29:56,559 --> 00:29:59,599
much more of a bumbler. And one thing that Augie

620
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,519
should realize it might want to take as a note

621
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:07,960
if he continues in crime despite his protestations to the contrary,

622
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:13,079
if he is sent to kill someone and fails, and

623
00:30:13,119 --> 00:30:16,720
then is sent to get them for a non homicidal outing,

624
00:30:17,359 --> 00:30:20,640
he should at least make it clear that homicide is

625
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,640
not on the agenda for this particular occurrence. It would

626
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,400
have saved him a second car accident. Now it's time

627
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,160
to thank our Patreon supporter of the day, and I

628
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:35,839

another episode of The Saint, but join us back here

636
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,400
tomorrow for the Big Story.

637
00:31:04,519 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 15: Where then you find yourself in the living room. The

638
00:31:15,759 --> 00:31:20,680
altar hits you first, a red lacquered vase, bright of

639
00:31:20,799 --> 00:31:25,119
a fire action, rising three feet above the oriental ride

640
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:31,559
in the center of the large wall, candles in profusion burning.

641
00:31:32,319 --> 00:31:35,119
Speaker 16: I have some hundreds at the foot of the altar,

642
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:40,680
and at the apex, and an idol, a fantastic idol.

643
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:50,200
Three hideous monkeys, half life, side grin, smirky, claring their eyes,

644
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:59,000
fantastically real, as if there were life inside these grotesque nonstates.

645
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:07,119
Speaker 2: And the sweet almost sickeningly sweeter Wrangma. And then that's sauce,

646
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:13,039
two blue incense burners, the odor of must, and a

647
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:18,400
sandal work. A fantastic horror in this ordinary hours.

648
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 11: Most people didn't know about that about Harold, but Harold

649
00:32:23,799 --> 00:32:27,839
was a cultist. You see, Harold was a disciple student

650
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:32,240
of metaphysics, a believer in the inner life, the pure light,

651
00:32:33,079 --> 00:32:34,279
the sanctified light.
