It's called a salad.

tell the chef you better flee for his life.

Speaker 5: No, he'll have to look out for himself. Not the chef,
the little man. He's little. How do you do you

Speaker 4: Mister Templer? My name is Potts.
Speaker 6: How do you do I need help?
Speaker 4: I'm the senior partner Potts and Carter Jeweler's extraordinary.
Speaker 5: So earlier this season, mister Carter was, mister Templer.
Speaker 4: It wasn't an accident.
Speaker 5: Oh, he was murdered, and the police they're picking you
for queen of the man. You want me to prove
you didn't murder Carter? Oh no, mister Templer, No, no,
I want you to prove I did.
Speaker 4: It's no use, mister Templar, I did kill Carter.
Speaker 5: Why wouldn't the police believe you? Because they couldn't find
the course? There's usually one around after a murder.
Speaker 4: You know, somebody stole this one.
Speaker 5: Eating constant is a rather restricted profession. Where did you
kill your partner in.
Speaker 4: Our establishment on Russia Boulevard?
Speaker 5: That's the nice place for it. When earlier this evening
and then you've gone the police from the shop, No.
Speaker 4: I couldn't bear the sight of Carter's body.
Speaker 5: I walked over to a nearby hotel and made my
call from there, and then I returned to the shop.
Speaker 4: I didn't go into.
Speaker 5: The back where the shooting had taken place. Yes, I
waited for the police.
Speaker 4: They arrived, I told him what had happened and.
Speaker 5: Let them into the bank. But when you got there,
covered with there, Yes, no one had heard the shot. Well,
you see, it's a business neighborhood. It was easy stand
may ask your questions. Are you tired of living?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 5: Oh? Oh? To me?
Speaker 4: Why am I so anxious to have.
Speaker 5: The police leaving?
Speaker 4: Because I shot Carter in self defense. He's a larger
man than I am. He was threatening me with physical violence.
I acted only in self defense.
Speaker 5: I think, well, I'll drop you at your home and
let's part You've got a job. Yes, you've got to
find your partner's body. But I ask yourself where you'd
go if you were no, No, he wouldn't be doing anywhere.
Now you better spend some time thinking about your friends.
One of them might have removed because in order to
shield you, or think of your enemies. Are you married?
Speaker 4: Yes, I am well?
Speaker 5: Anyway, an enemy of yours might have moved the body
to make the killing look like or like premeditated murder
one way or another. Mister, you think about living room
furniture trouting or are you.
Speaker 4: Carter?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 5: Of hops Carter pot corner. One of us is in
a bad way. Either you're dead or I'm crazy. I
can assure you why I'm not very well. I'll be
a psychiatrist in the morning and headhand block with your's
been hating me, haven't you following pot? Or did he
want nothing?
Speaker 6: Really?
Speaker 5: Really wanted to assure me that he kills you? He
what kills you? Shot you. To amplify an already unbelievable remark,
he said that he must see him, saying, well, extensive anyway, mister,
kind of the situation is. Rather, a man confesses to
a murder, the police do not believe him. He comes
to me and asked me to approve him a murderer.
I leave him and find myself confronting the man he
claims fils murdered. Doesn't make sense. Yeah, that's it's not intensive.
Speaker 6: What do you mean?
Speaker 5: I suggest you go to the police, identify yourself to them,
and ask complete protection for yourself. I don't need any protection.
POT wouldn't harm a fly, but you're not a fly,
DearS out of the possibility of pots really doing me
harm is something I can't take. Seriously. Why not go
to the police anyway? I couldn't without exposing parts for
ridicule and solictitute for your partners. Rather touching, especially since
he accused you of being a thief, of fealing from
the firm. Said that, and I have something to think about.
Do something to see you now. A man has already
confessed to your murder and you're still alive. The confession
may have been moved, like madness, may have been propaty
good night, well, hello, Hello. The times they put out
nowadays have rare and wonderful gadgets to pardon me, but
I'm trailing a fellow, a man named Carter.
Speaker 3: Do you know him?
Speaker 5: Do I know? You should? I? What do you think
Carter's cab is well in sight? Just a moment, I'll
take my eyes off the cab for a moment, and
I should that's me. I'm Simon. No, I only bought
this ky yesterday. Are you part of the standard of person? No?
Speaker 7: I go with this bluff model, though, I'm so glad
I said for the extra there what doesn't?
Speaker 5: And then where we're going? What we do when we
get there? This is a nice quiet see. Hey, hey,

got the key. Well, may I borrow? No? Cott is
cad is out of sight? I listen, Lily size, and
now it's Simons a think. I think, oh, hello, officer.

persuade the ladies who return that affect. Lady giving back
your ignition? All right, off here you are, thank you?
Now you take that ignition key and stick it in
a lot. That's right.
Speaker 8: Now you're trying it. So you're doing very nicely. Now
you've pushed a little button over there. Oh jolly, Now
you shift the gear at the first.
Speaker 5: You release the hand break. You're a bright boy. The
next time you go out with the girl and make
sure your ignition key isn't showing.
Speaker 8: Now step on the gass and get the heir gotta.
Speaker 5: Simon. Are you angry with me for delaying me? Not? Especially?
Where are you taking jewelry? Oh? You really shouldn't.
Speaker 6: You don't know me well enough?

the sense no, but I've got a feeling you're going

a minute, you might understand, give me a chance. I
don't want you to come in keep walking?
Speaker 6: Oh all right, what you idiot?

was overworked, he was tired.
Speaker 4: I didn't know what he was saying, Lisa.
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe he's lost his mind or something. Yeah, I
like that or something better. Theory doesn't explain your husband's
accusations against Carter. Accusations just fair. I don't know anything

I was worried about my husband. Always want.

I should wait for him. We'll both wait for somebody
to get to the hunt. No, for someone to leave it. Hey, hey,
that's yeah, a guy leaving the house. Now getting into
a car and follow the car. He goes, Well, we
go too. Okay, you're going on a long trips. I
ain't got too much gas in the tank. He's going
on a very long tipp in your die. Don't think
he's going to far. Those is relative daddy, remember what
Hamlet's been. Well, I wasn't around at the time. I
could be bounded by a nutshell. Yet count myself king.
Oh yeah, yeah, I remember it now where it's nuts
that I have? Nice guy Hamlet's I wonder and getting dark.
I don't like these hills when it starts getting done. Hey,
a guy would trailing to turn off the road, drivate driveway,
pull up the root and start. Okay, the house is
beyond the bend, right near the road Kenby. Yeah, I'm
leaving you. Look, I want you to drive back to town.
The instance you hit a place with a phone, called
the police. Yeah, and tell him what to warm my
cell for a murderer. They can pick the murderer up here.
Speaker 6: Okay, how don't do that?
Speaker 5: And where? Oh hello Anderson, fancy finding me here? Mister temper?
Whatever would your grandfather say?
Speaker 6: What do you want?
Speaker 5: I'm admiring the country home of the pot by the way,
Where is mister Pott? I don't know who's had a
big friend.
Speaker 6: Stay away from that door.
Speaker 5: Nonsense, it looks like a charming door.
Speaker 10: Work to.
Speaker 5: Mister tied and gags. I don't accept a vice graciously,
nor do I care for large landon jawn. But landon
Johns are handy to hit.
Speaker 11: Now for you, mister Pott, we'll get the gag out
of your mouth. You better or don't rush your hands
nice look out behind.
Speaker 5: Oh hello, I'm glad you dropped in. You are, Remember
I warned you about your butler. It was he who
brought your husband here. You think you should ask me
why I suspected? All right, I'll tell you. When I
visited your house and met Anderson for the third time,
we had a little chat in the course of which
he's a market I knew you weren't in the house
before I searched him. Why because how did he know
I'd seen you outside the house? Unless let me help you.
Speaker 4: Help restore circular.
Speaker 5: Less player? You told him? Why should I told him? Obviously?
Because you and he were in on this little pot
together to kill Carter and frame your husband for the
murder that she would inherit the business and the butler
shop fantastically.
Speaker 1: You're employ again.
Speaker 5: I can't kill No, No, you'll go to the gas chambers.
Soda was shot from the back room.
Speaker 4: I was out front with you, you at the front door.
Speaker 5: That's true, Tarda was shot as we because he was
going into the back room. His back therefore was too much.
And yet, if you remember he was shot in the back.
Afterwards we remarked how he lay faced up with the
blood coming out from underneath the fool.
Speaker 11: Oh dear, I was wondering how long it would be
before you produced the business.
Speaker 5: Mister Potts, Can you stand alone?
Speaker 4: I can't fall the wife your gun?
Speaker 5: If you please, thanks, that's a good deal better. The
police will be here short and that will be that relaxed.
You've fallen to rise again. But your wife, I'm afraid
as deflated their last time. Here you are, mister Potts,
in good health.
Speaker 4: Mister templar, How could I have killed Carter and not
killed it?
Speaker 5: Simplicity itself? Mister Potts, your gun had been carefully loaded
with flanks. Carter pretended to be dead, But why should
he have done that? Your wife must have persuaded him
that by doing that he would escape going to jailor
professed she'd have a hold over you.
Speaker 4: He's not a very nice woman.
Speaker 5: Issue. No, with Carter murdered, she was preparing to have
you disappear permanently. It would seem to the police that
you've killed Carter and colected the country. I can't thank
your own father. It was firm. But in the future,
mister Potts, before you confessed in murdering anyone, he's sure
you murder him.
Speaker 3: You've been listening to another adventure of the Spain, the
robin Hood of modern crime, and all hears our starved
and some prime.
Speaker 5: Ladies and gentlemen. Freedom is everybody's job. The Bill of
Rights established our freedom and protected. But freedom demands that
each of us carry out our duties as the citizens,
to vote in an informed way, so that the best
man is placed in public.
Speaker 6: Office, to serve on juries, to take.
Speaker 5: An active interest in public issues. Remember, by making our
form of government work better here, we strengthen democracy everywhere.
This is intancise inviting you to join us again next
week at the same time for another exciting adventure of
the thing. My script of the Place is written by
Louis our Cast, and so.
Speaker 3: Is Betty lou Gerston, Stamily ferrar A. I'll bring Larry
Dobkin and Tom Brown. The music was composed and conducted
by Harry Zimmerman. The Place place on characters.
Speaker 5: Created by Leslie Joiners.
Speaker 3: Because the James Elsidere production man is directed by Thomas A.
Speaker 4: Mcavinde.
Speaker 3: Vincent's Price was so in devising in Robert Lifford's production
of The Baron of Arizona.
Speaker 4: All you Saints fans will be glad.
Speaker 5: To know that the Saint's Coming Book are unfamed.
Speaker 3: With all you said, you're an unmerl runn. This is
a mutual broadcafting system.
Speaker 1: Welcome back the fun episode. As always, I really love
the dialogue of Vincent process the Saint. The comments on
the restaurant at the beginning of the episode were pun
intended chef's kiss, and we're so well delivered, in part
because Vincent Price was actually really interested in cooking. Of course,
if you've been listening to the program a little while,
you heard the Processing Manner, which we played not too
long ago, which highlighted his interest in painting. But he
had a broader cultural interest. In fact, he and his
wife in nineteen sixty five published a really important book
called A Treasury of Great Recipes. And what it did
is it took the most famous recipes from restaurants around
the world and adapted them to a nineteen sixties home kitchen.
Now you might have trouble finding the original edition, but
there was actually a re release for the fiftieth anniversary,
so you might look into it if you're interested in
learning how to cook like a real mid century restaurant.
The only issue you could have with this story, well,
there are probably other issues, but the only one I
could see is the Cave really strings along quite a
bit as a assistant, given that he's just driving a cab.
Although this sort of issue is somewhat resolved when we
get into later episodes featuring a permanent recurring character in
Louis Listener comments and feedback Now, and we start with Spotify,
where CoA writes regarding the episode Murder on the High Seas,
I have a difficult time telling navy blue from black.
My solution is to own no navy blue clothes. I'm
sure this has been a typical technique for a long time. Well,
definitely sounds like a reasonable one, CoA. Although I think
your sort of issue is what is medically meant when
people talk about color blindness. But obviously it is much
more extreme in mysteries. As we discussed a week ago,
Doctor who done it wrote, as a child of the eighties,
I wore black shorts with neon dinosaurs on them, a
hot pink shirt and a floral MAUI hat. I'm not
color blind, I just had bad days. Why are you there?
I liked a lot of colors, but I didn't always
know how to match them. I picked up a few
basic things. Definitely black helps. I operate under the assumption
that if I match it with a black item, I'll
probably be okay. Although if I put the orange dinosaurs
on there, I don't know how that would turn out.
And then finally, Mechanic sixty six right, it was obvious
who the villain was. Well, thanks so much. I appreciate
your comments, and now it is time to think. Our

the talking around here, Carlisle.
Speaker 4: My daughter tells me you two are in love, yes,
that you plan to marry her and take it away
from here from me.
Speaker 10: That's right, sir, with your permission. You don't have my permission, sorry, mister,
But in that case, I guess we'll have to get
married without it.
Speaker 5: Do you try anything like that? You're young, question. Never know.
Speaker 4: She belongs to me. You understand, she's my child.
Speaker 10: But he's going to steal it from I don't get
out of this house.
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 10: Oh I won't, not until I say what I came
to say. You might as well face it, mister Morton.
Jackie's nineteen, she's a grown woman.
Speaker 5: We're in love.
Speaker 10: When you're a guy to lose her, you know you're
going to lose her. She's free him, just like any
other person.
Speaker 5: Mister Norton put on that gun.
Speaker 4: Nobody's going to steal Jackie from me.

down that gun. If I can't Jackie, nobody else will.
