Speaker 1: Bet up with the everyday grind, tired out by the
Speaker 1: dull routine, you want to get away from it all.
Speaker 1: We offer you Escape.
Speaker 2: Escape Transcribe to free you from the four walls of
Speaker 2: today for a half hour of high adventure.
Speaker 1: You're aboard the Orient Express, rushing through the European night,
Speaker 1: bound for Istanbul, and in your compartment with you a
Speaker 1: gun pointed at your head, A small, mysterious stranger. It's
Speaker 1: about to take your life.
Speaker 2: Today we escape from reality to the tense world of
Speaker 2: Balkan intrigue, as Graham Green pictured it in his famous
Speaker 2: novel Orient Express.
Speaker 1: My name is Gregory Myatt. In nineteen thirty two, I
Speaker 1: had to go to Istanbul on business and I decided
Speaker 1: to take the Orient Express. After an uneventful trip across
Speaker 1: the Channel, I found myself at the station in Austin, Belgium,
Speaker 1: where the Orient Express began. The porter took my bags
Speaker 1: an overcoat to my first class compartment while I lingered
Speaker 1: on the platform, and inevitably somebody bumped into me. Oh
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Oh, that's quite all right.
Speaker 3: Which way are the second class coaches passed that way?
Speaker 1: I think your suitcase looks heavy, may I? Oh?
Speaker 3: No, thanks, I can manage your right.
Speaker 1: She had a very nice figure, trim and erect. I
Speaker 1: wondered whether she was going as far as Eton Bull Express.
Speaker 1: I made my way down the platform to my coach.
Speaker 1: But there was a stranger in my compartment going through
Speaker 1: my overcoat. Young man, you have the wrong compartment, and
Speaker 1: you have the wrong overcoat. Quote is mine? Also this
Speaker 1: compartment number seven, it happens to be number rates eight.
Speaker 4: I have made a mistake. Ay, thousand apologies, sir.
Speaker 1: That's all right, thank you.
Speaker 4: You are going to Belgrade.
Speaker 1: P No, no, I'm for resta bu so allow me.
Speaker 1: My name is Richard John. Are you doing? My name's
Speaker 1: mayat Greg remined.
Speaker 4: I am grateful you are a fellow countryman. These little
Speaker 4: mistakes can be so difficult to explain fellow countrymen.
Speaker 1: But I'm American.
Speaker 4: I also I am a naturalized American all these many years.
Speaker 4: But the accent remains.
Speaker 1: Yes, I suppose it does.
Speaker 4: Well. We are under way. I will go to my compartment.
Speaker 4: A most pleasant journey, sir, and again a thousand apologies.
Speaker 1: I looked at the landscape for a while, and then
Speaker 1: got out of book and settled on to read, and
Speaker 1: at that moment, of course, we run into a string
Speaker 1: of tunnels, all of them pitch black. I was just
Speaker 1: about to ring for the guard who asked to have
Speaker 1: the lights switched on, but the train was crashing to
Speaker 1: a stop. We were on a tonnel. I got up
Speaker 1: and broke for the door and went into the corridor
Speaker 1: just as the lights went on. Lying on the floor
Speaker 1: was the girl who had bumped into me. Excuse me, please,
Speaker 1: one side, please excuse me, please, madame.
Speaker 5: Conductor madity to inform you it is not allowed for
Speaker 5: a passenger to stop the orient.
Speaker 1: Explain mister, if you will allow me, please, Oh, mister John,
Speaker 1: had we better get a doctor.
Speaker 4: I am a doctor. Mister Mayott allow me. So. There
Speaker 4: is nothing wrong with this young lady. She has only fainted.
Speaker 1: Oh good, good, give me a hand, mister John. Let's
Speaker 1: get her into my compartment.
Speaker 3: I'm all right now, really I am.
Speaker 1: Here's a courser. Hey, yeah, drink this, it's brandy.
Speaker 4: Drink it, young lady. It will help you.
Speaker 3: Good. Hello. Why I fainted? I never did before.
Speaker 4: When did you last have a decent meal?
Speaker 1: Yesterday?
Speaker 4: The day before?
Speaker 3: I suppose it was the day before. That's my affair.
Speaker 1: You have no money. No, how would you like to
Speaker 1: have dinner with me? Well, please say yes.
Speaker 3: I won't say no.
Speaker 4: Fine, fine, will you join us, mister John No, I
Speaker 4: prefer to remain in my compartment.
Speaker 1: As we dined, I learned her name was Carol Musker.
Speaker 1: She was a chorus girl and she had a job
Speaker 1: waiting for her in estable. I felt a bit sorry
Speaker 1: for her, but well, more than that, I I remembered
Speaker 1: how she felt in my arms when I carried her
Speaker 1: under my compartment, and I wanted to hold her again.
Speaker 3: I hate a lot, mister May. I hope you can
Speaker 3: afford the check.
Speaker 1: I think I can do. Now, how about to breakfast
Speaker 1: tomorrow and all the rest of your Mailst will rich estanbo.
Speaker 3: Mister myatt, I hope you don't have any ideas about me?
Speaker 1: Well, of course I have. You're very attractive.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know anything about you. For all I
Speaker 3: know you're married and have six children.
Speaker 1: I am not, and I haven't.
Speaker 3: How about you, I have no one.
Speaker 1: Well, then there's no reason why we shouldn't have ideas
Speaker 1: about each other, is there? And by the way, my
Speaker 1: first name is Gregory H M. Coffee? What does it wow? Then?
Speaker 1: As soon as I paid it to myat. Oh, mister John,
Speaker 1: excuse me, is this yours right? That's my pocket book.
Speaker 4: I found it in the corridor outside my compartment. You
Speaker 4: must have dropped it when you lifted this young lady.
Speaker 1: He gave me my pocket book and left the dining car.
Speaker 1: All my money was there. But one thing I knew,
Speaker 1: I had not dropped my pocket book. Mister John had
Speaker 1: taken it. Carol and I started through the train. It
Speaker 1: was about nine o'clock and the lights were already dimmed,
Speaker 1: and the second class coaches people were asleep sitting up
Speaker 1: in the crowded compartments.
Speaker 3: Mister myatt, here's my compartment. Thank you for dinner.
Speaker 1: It's h very early. You have to go in.
Speaker 3: Oh I'm tired.
Speaker 1: Oh it's too crowded in there for comfortable sleeping. And besides,
Speaker 1: you never know who's next to you.
Speaker 3: But I do a little fat mancy. His name is
Speaker 3: Joseph Grumlich. He introduced himself.
Speaker 1: Oh he did, did he?
Speaker 6: You're not jealous?
Speaker 1: No, but what do you know about him? He might
Speaker 1: be a thief or a bigger mission ridiculous?
Speaker 3: Well, good night, mister Mighttt Gregory.
Speaker 1: Carol, Yes, you might kiss me good night. No one
Speaker 1: will notice, all right.
Speaker 3: Well, oh, mister Grumley.
Speaker 1: If you're going somewhere, sir, don't you go ahead?
Speaker 4: Do not be angry, please, I was not spying.
Speaker 1: Mister Mayer, how do you know my name?
Speaker 7: We all heard of the gentleman gallant enough to take
Speaker 7: miss Muscart to dinner at the good doctor's suggestion.
Speaker 1: Doctor or doctor mister John. He's a doctor, is he not?
Speaker 4: Now, if you'll please excuse me, I must get some water.
Speaker 4: I'm quite chirsty.
Speaker 1: I don't think I like that guy, Carol, how about.
Speaker 3: Taking my compartment your compartment?
Speaker 1: All right, I'll get you another one. We'll speak to
Speaker 1: the conductor right now.
Speaker 5: A first class compartment for young lady. Monsieur, you must
Speaker 5: wait until I arrived at Cologne. No tickets are sold
Speaker 5: board the Orient Express. We arrived in Cologne in let
Speaker 5: me see precisely fifteen minutes, mcbam direct, you are next
Speaker 5: press living in tute.
Speaker 1: As we walked up to the first class ticket when
Speaker 1: a woman elbowed us out of the.
Speaker 6: Way, please excuse me. You don't mind if I go first,
Speaker 6: or you might train for Paris leaves any minute, and
Speaker 6: that case go right ahead, thank you, or Hans Haunts petition.
Speaker 1: One.
Speaker 6: My editor has got me.
Speaker 1: She was a reporter. Apparently, while waiting for her change,
Speaker 1: her eyes went past me to the Orient Express. Suddenly
Speaker 1: they widened. I followed a glance. Mister John was just
Speaker 1: stepping back into his compartments.
Speaker 6: One moment, Haunts, change this ticket for us sleeper on
Speaker 6: the Orient Express. Make it Bellgrad.
Speaker 1: You are lucky, miss Warren. There is only one accommodation
Speaker 1: on the Orient Express. Just a moment there, wait, wait here,
Speaker 1: First I thought you were going to Paris.
Speaker 6: Not when I see doctor Zinner on the Orient Express.
Speaker 1: Doctor Zenner. The man you were looking at was Richard John.
Speaker 6: That the name is using.
Speaker 1: Now okay, thank you, Hans. Just a moment there. I'm
Speaker 1: taking that ticket mine Hell, I regret, but the lady
Speaker 1: asked for it before you did, and she is an
Speaker 1: old customer. Here, here's the ticket, Miss Warren. Who is
Speaker 1: it Gregory? Remind mister John. I'd like to talk to.
Speaker 4: You for a moment. May we come in by yes? Yes,
Speaker 4: of course you are feeling better, Miss Musker. You are
Speaker 4: getting an oppress.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's why we're here. Miss Musker is taking my compartment,
Speaker 1: and I'm staying in here with you.
Speaker 4: I wish I could oblige, but I prefer my privacy.
Speaker 1: Why is that, doctor Sinner?
Speaker 4: My name is Richard John Where did you hear otherwise?
Speaker 1: I'm a newspaper reporter who saw you in the station
Speaker 1: at Cologne. I don't know what it's all about, and
Speaker 1: I don't much care, but miss Musker is going to
Speaker 1: have my compartment, and I'm going to move into this
Speaker 1: one with you. Any objections, or in fact, both of
Speaker 1: you shall stay here with me. What the devil?
Speaker 4: Gently mister Meyert, Yes a gun, I am an excellent shot.
Speaker 4: Believe me, we shall all stay. I insist lock the door,
Speaker 4: mister Mayatt. That's fine. Now, just who are you? Mister Mayatt?
Speaker 4: Who am I police spy here to keep me from
Speaker 4: getting to Belgrade? Let's you surely don't expect me to
Speaker 4: believe your story about some time?
Speaker 1: Mister Day, that sounds like the reporter from Cologne.
Speaker 4: Tell her she has made a mistake. Tell her Mayatt.
Speaker 1: Go away. You've got the wrong compartment. My name is Myatt.
Speaker 3: I'm a reporter.
Speaker 6: Maybe warret mon Aglaria Myatt.
Speaker 4: Put your arm around this, Muska open the door pathway
Speaker 4: just enough for her to see both of you. I
Speaker 4: shall be behind the door, and remember I have a gun. I.
Speaker 6: Oh, you're not the man I'm after all you.
Speaker 1: My name is myatt. I haven't the slightest idea where
Speaker 1: you can find your mister John Well.
Speaker 6: I'll find him. He's on the Orient Express somewhere. Excuse
Speaker 6: me for interrupting you. Rah, excuse me for interrupting you.
Speaker 6: Good night, mister Miat.
Speaker 4: Both the door please. Ah. Perhaps you really are only
Speaker 4: an American businessman, mister Mayott. In that case, I owe
Speaker 4: you an explanation. Sit down.
Speaker 1: He told us a fantastic story. He was a political
Speaker 1: exile from his own country. He'd been forced to leave
Speaker 1: five years ago, and now he was going back to
Speaker 1: lead a rebellion to overthrow the government by a kudattar.
Speaker 1: And to me it made very little sense. Had it
Speaker 1: not been for the gun in his hand, I might
Speaker 1: have laughed in his face.
Speaker 4: If I am captured before this train gets to Bergrade,
Speaker 4: I will be executed once in Blgrad. However, I am safe.
Speaker 4: I am very popular. I know the city. There are
Speaker 4: thousands ready to hide me.
Speaker 1: And that's very interesting, eh. Now that you believe we're
Speaker 1: who we say we are. You could put that gun away.
Speaker 1: I'll bump here with you, and miss Musk can go
Speaker 1: to my compartment.
Speaker 4: I cannot allow that. Among the passengers and distrainer many
Speaker 4: of my countrymen. Some would be loyal if they knew
Speaker 4: about me, but others would not.
Speaker 3: Doctor Zinner will tell no one.
Speaker 4: I am sure you would not intentionally, but it might
Speaker 4: slip out. No, I cannot permit you to leave this compartment.
Speaker 1: I'm warning you. If I can, I am going to
Speaker 1: take that gun away from you.
Speaker 4: Don't try it, my friend.
Speaker 1: You're older than I am, Doctor Zinner. You're tired. Just
Speaker 1: how long can you stay awake? I sat with Carroll
Speaker 1: on one seat. He was across from us, the revolver
Speaker 1: in his hand. And it got later and later and later.
Speaker 1: I'm tired, Gregg, I disclosure eyes that Carroll. Are you sleepy?
Speaker 1: Doctor Zinner not yet asked.
Speaker 6: That my.
Speaker 1: Carol was asleep on my shoulder. I thought to keep
Speaker 1: my eyes open. I dozed off, and then somehow I
Speaker 1: came awake. I lifted my head. Doctor Zenna was asleep.
Speaker 1: I reached a cross and grabbed the gun. Aw it's
Speaker 1: all right, Carol, I've got it well, doctor Zenner.
Speaker 4: You are right, sir. I tried to stay awake.
Speaker 1: But stay here, Carol. I'm going to locate the conductor.
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell him what's been going on.
Speaker 4: No, you must not. I shall never get the bell cluk.
Speaker 1: No, we're still outside his country. He won't be hurt.
Speaker 4: But if you report me to the conductor, I shall
Speaker 4: be put off the tray.
Speaker 1: Allan shot, No harm done. I'll be back soon, Carol.
Speaker 1: I left the compartment and started down the corridor. I
Speaker 1: heard a noise behind me, and as I turned, I
Speaker 1: caught a glimpse of a shadowy figure. One arm raised
Speaker 1: high above my head. And then the arm swung down
Speaker 1: and something hard and heavy crashed against my skull and
Speaker 1: I fell into a pool of blackness. Yes, and I
Speaker 1: knew nothing more. In just a moment.
Speaker 2: We will return to escape, but first. The blazing billboard
Speaker 2: for CBS's ten Great Sunday Night Shows has an especially
Speaker 2: big blaze of lights near the top of the list.
Speaker 2: That's where the names of Spike Jones, Jack Benny and
Speaker 2: Amos and Andy are found in succession. Spike Jones, Jack Benny,
Speaker 2: Amos and Andy. The most unusual sequence of top rating comedy
Speaker 2: in radio. Don't miss a single second of their ninety
Speaker 2: NonStop minutes of Mirth Tomorrow Night on CBS's Great Sunday
Speaker 2: Night ten Amos Andy and Spike Jones come to you
Speaker 2: over most of these same CBS stations, and Jack Benny
Speaker 2: is heard over them all. And now with our star
Speaker 2: Bill Conrad, we returned the second act of Escape and
Speaker 2: the Orient Express.
Speaker 1: How much later it was when I opened my eyes,
Speaker 1: I don't know whoever had hit me had done an
Speaker 1: expert job. Might have been Zenner or or even Carol
Speaker 1: had no way of knowing the gun was gone. I
Speaker 1: dragged myself to my feet and stumbled down the corridor
Speaker 1: back to a compartment number seven. But it was empty.
Speaker 1: Perhaps they moved to my compartment, I hurried to it. No, no,
Speaker 1: there was nothing in my compartment. My bags were gone,
Speaker 1: even my overcoat. Inside I began to feel a strange,
Speaker 1: unreasoning fear. Why was it so quiet? What were all
Speaker 1: the other passengers along the entire corridor. I opened every
Speaker 1: door in the coach them was completely empty. I felt
Speaker 1: as as if I were going crazy. I lost consciousness again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: here you, mister wake got we got Who are you?
Speaker 1: I sha, I am the rakeman. No tell me what
Speaker 1: happened to everyone? This coach was full. I got on
Speaker 1: at Austin. Dozens of people got on at Austin. Oh no, sir,
Speaker 1: this coach is empty and it comes only from Wagensport
Speaker 1: wagons man. No, it's it's from Austin, I tell you,
Speaker 1: But compartment eight. This was mine, My bag's my overcoat.
Speaker 1: They were here and now they've disappeared. What was that?
Speaker 1: That is only the switch engine. We're on the yards
Speaker 1: outside Vienna. This coach is a deadhead. It was put
Speaker 1: on at the Orient Express at Reagan's broken. Now we
Speaker 1: take it off. Dead head? You mean no, it's not
Speaker 1: my coach at all. The regular coaches the Orient Expresses
Speaker 1: in front of us. If you do not wanted to
Speaker 1: leave without you, you had better HORIZI don't worry, I'll
Speaker 1: make it. The Orient Express was just getting underway when
Speaker 1: I dropped off in front of the dead head. I
Speaker 1: had plenty of time to run up alongside and swing aboard.
Speaker 1: I made my way through the train to my coach
Speaker 1: and knocked on the door of Center's compartment. Open up
Speaker 1: and there Gregory Meyer opened the door. Please, lying on
Speaker 1: the berth bound and gagedos the reporter Miss Warren, and
Speaker 1: standing beside her gun in hand was not doctor Zinner
Speaker 1: but Joseph Grundlish.
Speaker 4: We have a very tough skull, mister Mayer. I should
Speaker 4: have hit you a little harder.
Speaker 1: No, where is Carol? Where is doctor Sinner? Why have
Speaker 1: you tied up this reporter?
Speaker 4: Please? Please not so fast.
Speaker 7: First, as to Miss Warren, I have tied her to
Speaker 7: prevent her from interfering with doctor Sinner, and I allowed
Speaker 7: her to file her newspaper story. Doctor Sinner would never
Speaker 7: get to Beograd. I happen to be anrd and follower
Speaker 7: of doctor Zinna. I was standing watch last night when
Speaker 7: you dashed into the corridor. Mister myatt you had this
Speaker 7: very gun in your hand. You had obviously broken away
Speaker 7: from doctor Zinna. Fortunately I had a black chain.
Speaker 1: Whereas Carol and doctor Senner, do.
Speaker 7: You promise to do nothing to interfere with doctor Sinna's plan?
Speaker 1: I promise nothing, no bit.
Speaker 7: Reason of the Orient Express will soon cross the border
Speaker 7: into my own country. It makes only one stop at
Speaker 7: the border for passport identification. After that you are involved
Speaker 7: no longer By be stubborn.
Speaker 1: All right, grunleichh, I want to.
Speaker 7: Say, mister Mayett, I think you may go now. Doctor
Speaker 7: Zinner and miss Moscow our next door in your compartment.
Speaker 1: Doctor Zenna was seated on one birth dozing, and Carol
Speaker 1: lay on the opposite berth, fast asleep. Traces of tears
Speaker 1: on her cheeks. She shivered. I covered it with my
Speaker 1: overcoat and she woke up.
Speaker 3: Gregory, Gregory, I didn't know where you wish go back
Speaker 3: to sleep?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: I searched every wheel. I didn't know what to do,
Speaker 3: and I came back here.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: I was so tired. Doctor's dinner made me go to sleep.
Speaker 1: Everything's all right. In a few hours, everything will be fine.
Speaker 1: Now close your eyes and go back to sleep. I
Speaker 1: left the compartment and went to the second class coach.
Speaker 1: With both Carol and grundlich Gon. There was space for me.
Speaker 1: I slept until I was awakened by a Hungarian passport inspector.
Speaker 1: The train had stopped in a town named Schubotica, just
Speaker 1: inside the border. I assured him my passport. Then I
Speaker 1: went to the dining car. The breakfast rush was just starting,
Speaker 1: so I gave a waiter a pound note and had
Speaker 1: him get me breakfast for two. By the time the
Speaker 1: Orient Express was ten minutes out of Schobotica. We were
Speaker 1: going down the corridor. The loaded tray tinkling is the
Speaker 1: way followed me. We arrived at my compartments, but it
Speaker 1: was empty. No sign of Sinner, no sign of Carol.
Speaker 1: A torn piece of paper was tucked under the cuff
Speaker 1: of my overcoat. It was a note I have left
Speaker 1: the doctor Zenna. I'm afraid this is goodbye. Sign Carol
Speaker 1: musk see the breakfast.
Speaker 4: Where shall I put the tray?
Speaker 1: The breakfast? Oh? Take it back, I don't want it.
Speaker 1: I sat near the window and watched the landscape drift past.
Speaker 1: My suspicions had been right all along. Doctor Zenna had
Speaker 1: played me for a fool, and so had Carol. After
Speaker 1: a while, I became conscious of a tapping sound on
Speaker 1: the wall of my compartment. It kept on, and suddenly
Speaker 1: I realized that it was coming from the compartment next
Speaker 1: to mine, someone's heel banging against the wall. It took
Speaker 1: only a minute to get next door. It was miss
Speaker 1: Waring and the reporter, while tied and gagged.
Speaker 6: Oh thank goodness, I thought you'd never hear me Wes Grundley.
Speaker 1: Where are the others?
Speaker 6: You mean you don't know what's happened. Zenna's going to
Speaker 6: be executed, executed where they took him off the train?
Speaker 6: At Supportica Gonlik arranged the whole thing. He's a government spy.
Speaker 1: He can't be fully is.
Speaker 6: They're probably holding a drumhead court martial on doctor Zenna
Speaker 6: back in Suportica this minute.
Speaker 1: I see, and Carol Musker's a government spy too. The girl, no,
Speaker 1: she must be. They took her off the train, well.
Speaker 6: They had to. They couldn't have any witnesses.
Speaker 1: What will they do with her?
Speaker 6: Probably kill her? Hey here, what are you doing? You
Speaker 6: can't jump off? The train's going sixty at least.
Speaker 1: I'm going back there to Supportica.
Speaker 6: You're insane.
Speaker 1: Look there's a small tin up ahead. I saw it
Speaker 1: when I leaned out. Some cars aparked to the station.
Speaker 1: I saw them. I'm going to pull the emergency cord.
Speaker 1: Take one of those cars.
Speaker 6: Can you possibly do in supporta car?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'll do something.
Speaker 6: Go ahead, mister Meyer, I'm going with you.
Speaker 1: I pulled the emergency cord and in a matter of seconds,
Speaker 1: the Orient Express was screeching to a halt. Right at
Speaker 1: the station, I flung open the door, and with the
Speaker 1: miss war close behind me, I ran toward the parked cars.
Speaker 1: Here you you come here, you speak English?
Speaker 4: Car gentleman's a car very cheap?
Speaker 1: I want to go to I'll give you twenty pounds.
Speaker 4: Yea King, General mons Getty.
Speaker 1: We were at Stabotica inside of an hour. I had
Speaker 1: the driver stopped just before we got into the center
Speaker 1: of town and told him to wait. Ms. Warren and
Speaker 1: I started down the main street. Mister Miat look in
Speaker 1: the doorway of a small restaurant. His back to us,
Speaker 1: talking to a chef was Joseph Grundlish. Just keep walking.
Speaker 1: Try to hear what he's saying.
Speaker 7: Two people have it sent to the rails.
Speaker 1: Did you hear what he said?
Speaker 6: Something about a last meal for two people to be
Speaker 6: taken to the railroad station.
Speaker 1: Don't turn your head, just keep walking. The railroad station
Speaker 1: platform was empty, so to taket office, but through the
Speaker 1: window we could see the waiting room, and beyond it
Speaker 1: was a closed door to a baggage room. There was
Speaker 1: a large old fashioned key in the lock, and standing
Speaker 1: beside the door was a soldier with a rifle that's
Speaker 1: why they must be in the baggage room. You don't
Speaker 1: have a gun, I suppose no, neither do I the
Speaker 1: keys in the lock if I can get to it
Speaker 1: without the soldiers noticing. We've got to get the soldier
Speaker 1: away from the door, Miss Warren. Oh, look, do you
Speaker 1: see that telephone over there in the fire corner. If
Speaker 1: we could somehow get the soldier over to the telephone,
Speaker 1: his view of the baggage room door would be cut off. Look,
Speaker 1: that'll be your job, miss Warring. Go into the waiting
Speaker 1: room and up to the telephone booth. Smile at the
Speaker 1: soldiers you go by. Then, pretend you're having some trouble
Speaker 1: with the phone. Appeal to him for help. When he
Speaker 1: joins you with the phone booth, keep him occupied while
Speaker 1: I go in and let him out.
Speaker 6: But he might go around.
Speaker 1: Just talk to him, center, and Carol and I will
Speaker 1: try to make the car.
Speaker 6: You'll have to hurry, grew looking that last meal may
Speaker 6: be here any minute.
Speaker 1: We'll hurry all right through the grimy wonder why watched
Speaker 1: does miss Warren cross the waiting room to the telephone,
Speaker 1: smiling at the soldier. She left the booth and walked
Speaker 1: over to him. Couldn't hear what they were saying. She
Speaker 1: smiled at him again, putting her hand on his arm.
Speaker 1: They went over the booth. He took a deep breath
Speaker 1: and into the waiting room. I could hear them talking
Speaker 1: as I started toward the baggage room. Cal no noise,
Speaker 1: doctor Zinner, Carol, go to the station platform, now, no noise.
Speaker 1: Come on. We started back toward the open door that
Speaker 1: led to the station platform and went out slowly, not
Speaker 1: making a sound. Miss Warren was still talking to the soldier,
Speaker 1: and then suddenly their voices stopped. I glanced back. The
Speaker 1: soldier's gun had fallen to the floor. He was kissing
Speaker 1: Miss Warren. We got out to the platform and I
Speaker 1: shut the door quietly. All right, follow me. The car
Speaker 1: is two blocks away. Well, she's a reporter. They won't
Speaker 1: dare touch her. Now come on. In a few moments,
Speaker 1: the station was behind us. The car was only a
Speaker 1: block away. Now we turned the corner, and walking toward us,
Speaker 1: not ten feet away was Joseph Grundley. Can have waited
Speaker 1: from the restaurant before he could collect his wits. I
Speaker 1: ran at him. He crumpled to the ground. Then I
Speaker 1: hit the waiter all right, run for it. Bruntley cud
Speaker 1: a few shots at us but hit no. And then
Speaker 1: we were in the car and he fired at us
Speaker 1: no longer. Oh what you? Goodbye? Doctor Zenna. You're sure
Speaker 1: you won't come along?
Speaker 4: Oh? I stay here? Shall be all right now, thanks
Speaker 4: to you.
Speaker 8: Goodbye, mister Byer, goodbye?
Speaker 1: Hello?
Speaker 3: Hello?
Speaker 1: You mind if I sit down? No?
Speaker 6: Not at all.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll be in its donebul tomorrow a day late.
Speaker 3: You know I probably lost that chorus.
Speaker 1: Job. Have any idea what you'll do? Then?
Speaker 3: I think so, I.
Speaker 6: Have an idea.
