Oh my, don't be afraid. I mean, not of this show. It's not real, at least I don't think it is. My dear, just relax and listen. These ghosts, ghouls, monsters, murderers and more aren't really here to get you, but your ears may lie to you...

1
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:11.519
Oh my, I must thank you for joining me, Jordie.

2
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:15.839
The nights get, nights get longer and colder, but you,

3
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:19.199
and you, you always seem to be by my side,

4
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:21.640
and I do appreciate it. And don't think I forget

5
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:23.920
the nice things you do for me. For me, I

6
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.719
remember that, Remember that firewood you brought me yesterday really

7
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:29.719
has helped keep the place warm at night. I'll tell

8
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:33.399
you that much, that much, my dear, my dear, I'm

9
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:37.119
so happy to sit here and prepare another piece of

10
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:43.640
pie fear for you. For you, my dear, I'm sorry

11
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:47.119
an old man like me can get a bit slap

12
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:51.679
hat all alone here so often. Having you with me

13
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:55.640
to listen to this story, well, I may sound like

14
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.799
a a broken record, but I'm glad that we get

15
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:03.799
to share this little bit of time together when you

16
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:08.200
find on your radio diale. So get comfortable and I'll

17
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:10.680
get you I get you a spot of tea. And

18
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:12.760
let's hear it now, right.

19
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:17.200
Now, at the crossroads of the Empire state. This is

20
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:42.959
Wrrow music, Roll fifty nine on your Albany dial hotail,

21
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:49.200
well calculated to keep you in suspense in a moment

22
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.519
act one of at the point of an Eagle, starring

23
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.760
Betty Guard and Walter Kinsella, and written especially for suspense

24
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.400
by Joseph Cochran. The first portion of suspense is brought

25
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:05.120
to you by Parliament. Cigarettes.

26
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:08.479
Listen.

27
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.479
More and more people are smoking to this tune.

28
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:13.960
Every day.

29
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.479
Because Parliament is the one cigarette that gives you an

30
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.560
extra margin. Extra margin because Parliament puts the filter where

31
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:23.919
it does the most good, recess.

32
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:25.479
The neat clean quarter inch away.

33
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:30.000
Extra margin because tobacco tastes fest when the filter is recessed.

34
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.800
Parliament gives you extrg.

35
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.800
And say stay and meat clean.

36
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:40.960
Quarter inch away.

37
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:44.360
This Parliament gives you extra margins.

38
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:52.319
Parlament gives you extra margin just loking clean with Parliament day.

39
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:57.240
Join those who have found that tobacco tastes fast when

40
00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:58.360
the filter is recessed.

41
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.000
Most the cigarette with an X margin.

42
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:02.759
Parliament.

43
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:15.240
Wow, George, you said we got to do something about

44
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:16.960
this terrible heat. I can't stand it.

45
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.360
Oh, good grief, Myra. I'm not to blame for the weather.

46
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:21.639
I didn't say that, but we can escape it by

47
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:22.840
taking a cottage at the beach.

48
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.439
Like last year. When we got there, all you did

49
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.639
was complain about the same heat. The flies the hot sand,

50
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:32.319
the freezing water, and the people. You just couldn't stand

51
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.080
these awful people who cut it up the beach.

52
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:37.439
Oh, you're just making up excuses. I certainly prefer a

53
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:41.080
cool beach to this stifling house. I've never known such heat.

54
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:43.719
This is the hottest summer I've ever known. Don't you

55
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:48.439
think so, George? Well, isn't it, George? You're not answering me.

56
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:49.879
Isn't this the hottest summer?

57
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.159
No, last summer was just as hot, hotter.

58
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:56.360
Reason, don't be silly, couldn't have been We've never known

59
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:57.039
heat like this.

60
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.960
Well, it's right here in the paper. The average teary

61
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.680
as of today is just two degrees less than last summer.

62
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:04.840
This day last year was one.

63
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:09.039
Point a hotter than newspapers a lot. They know. The

64
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:11.319
man sits on top of the ninth cool building where

65
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.599
there's a breeze and trots the temperature. He's not swelltering

66
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.519
in that kitchen, George, I just can't do a thing.

67
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.759
Just the thought of preparing a meal sickens me. Don't

68
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:22.720
you feel the heat?

69
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.279
Of course I feel, Admira, But what's the use of

70
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:26.120
griping about it?

71
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:27.959
So then, why don't you want to get out of it.

72
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.519
Good heaven, who said I didn't. Don't you think I

73
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:32.519
have the same heat at the office, so I come

74
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:33.720
home every night ringing wet.

75
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:35.399
But then, why don't you want to take a cottage

76
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:35.839
at the beach?

77
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:38.839
Money? Myra ever hear of it? Just a little matter

78
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.680
of money. Oh, I wish the goodness you stopped driping

79
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:43.639
about the heat long enough to sit down and discuss

80
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.399
my income, my expenses, how much money I have left

81
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:47.120
at the end of the month.

82
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.759
Oh, that's just another excuse whenever I want to do something.

83
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:53.680
It changed the subject to money. Certainly, if the Bennetts

84
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:54.839
can afford the beach, we can.

85
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.199
Oh I know, I know that, won by heart. I

86
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.759
make just as much money as Dave Bennett. But I've

87
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.199
told you one hundred times. But Benne's cook down on

88
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:04.839
other thing so they can go to the beach.

89
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.959
Oh so now you're accusing me of being extravagant.

90
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.839
Oh but look at me, Just look at me.

91
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.600
I dress in rags, I slave all year in this house,

92
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.639
and what does it get me. Other people go to

93
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.519
the beach for months at a time. But if I

94
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.399
want to get away from the heat for a few days,

95
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:25.399
you start finding excuses for not going. Oh, George, I

96
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.680
don't want to complain, but I think I do deserve

97
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:28.720
a little consideration.

98
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.560
Don't stop. Then they get a Myra, we'll go to

99
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:31.959
the beach.

100
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.399
Oh so money was just an excuse all along. Huh,

101
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.439
you didn't want to get me out of the hot kitchen.

102
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.279
Huh, we're going to the beach, Myra, isn't that what

103
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.040
you want? I'll arrange the money somehow.

104
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:44.680
But why didn't you agree to the beach in the

105
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:50.000
first place and save all this fun? Just upset me terribly, George.

106
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:52.639
Look it's for your good too. You know that you

107
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.560
look awful tired, and the beach will be just the

108
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:56.680
place for you to relax.

109
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:07.079
Oh no, no.

110
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:10.240
No, George, a little more to the left. I want

111
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:11.839
that time right in the middle.

112
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.120
Myra, I don't see any point in it.

113
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.800
Putting up the signs they say plainly no trespassing. Don't

114
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:18.240
they go?

115
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.279
What allow them to the retaining wall. No one's going

116
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.120
to climb over the wall to get on your property.

117
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:25.920
People come here to sit on the sand, George.

118
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.759
The idea of the signs is to keep people off

119
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.639
the sand in front of our cottage.

120
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.759
What on now? Look, Myra, you're going to stop last

121
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:34.879
summer all over again.

122
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.399
We rented this cottage and I think we should be

123
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:39.519
able to enjoy the sand in front of it without

124
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:41.879
having it messed up by those awful people who come

125
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.639
for the day. This is our home and we have

126
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.000
some right to pride it more.

127
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.439
For the love of Mike, everyone's house has people in

128
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:51.360
front on the sand. No one else has signs up.

129
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.240
Well, we're going to have. You may not object this

130
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.480
one of noisy people in front of our cottage, but

131
00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:57.240
I do.

132
00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:59.360
Myra. Please be reasonable, George.

133
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.240
If you don't want to put up the signs, give

134
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:02.439
me the hammer and I'll do it.

135
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.519
Never mind, never mind, I can see right now. If

136
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:07.959
I don't put them up, I'll hear about it all summer.

137
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:10.240
Where do they want the other.

138
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:12.920
One on the other side of the steps? Oh, and

139
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.800
be sure it's exactly the same height and evenly space

140
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.319
the bits one and don't try to get the sand

141
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:21.199
all over my blanket as you walk by with you Yes, murder,

142
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:23.000
And when you get to sign up, I want you

143
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:24.759
to bring down the umbrella.

144
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:25.800
I can't hear you.

145
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:28.199
We'll if you stop that hammering for a minute to

146
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:32.480
take some attention, you would, I said, when you get through,

147
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.160
I want you to bring down the beach chairs and

148
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.720
the umbrella and some black We'll spread them out in

149
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:38.839
front of the cottage, so there's awful people will know

150
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:41.399
this space is take beach cuttage.

151
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:43.959
Want a place to get a rest. I trying to

152
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:45.279
relax in the swarm of bees.

153
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:47.240
George, did you say something?

154
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:48.279
Oh, mynother thing?

155
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:50.120
It certainly sounded like it.

156
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:51.360
Nothing, nothing at all.

157
00:07:51.399 --> 00:08:05.920
Oh, please stop hammering when you talk to me. Hey, Bill,

158
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.040
here's a good spot. Let's spread a blanket.

159
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.560
Yeah, this is fine. Us there hold the thermos and

160
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:12.160
books while I spread the blanket.

161
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:12.399
Kay.

162
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.560
Oh see, it's good to get here. Oh look at

163
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.839
that ocean, isn't it wonderful?

164
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:19.199
Fuck?

165
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:20.000
Sure is.

166
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:23.040
But I am going to lie on the sand and

167
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:24.319
lap the boil of sunshine.

168
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:27.319
I can. I'm gonna get some sand on my hunt. Hey,

169
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.120
isn't that little cottage gety? I wish we'd get one

170
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:30.839
of the white ones.

171
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:33.039
There's the funny of stuff out there on the porch,

172
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:43.080
chairs and blankets and a perfect circus under that umbrella.

173
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:48.000
Well of all the nerve, give me a George, look

174
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:49.759
out there, do you see what I see?

175
00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:50.840
What did you expect?

176
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:53.000
If I could put those chairs and blankets out, like

177
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:55.679
I told you, this wouldn't have happened. But no, leave

178
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:56.440
them on the porch.

179
00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:59.039
I was nailing up those no trespassing signs, which is

180
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:01.279
supposed to make people away from the spot.

181
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:03.159
I guess some people can't.

182
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.240
Read, Myra, Stop, but they'll hear you down there, hear me.

183
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:14.919
What's the no? She's shouting something about it, Tom, she's

184
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:16.120
talking about us. Isn't here?

185
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:17.039
Look at.

186
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:19.320
Well?

187
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:24.399
Just to bet this is a public beach. Now you ignore, Tom,

188
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:27.960
I warn me. Some cork at them. Yeah, they think

189
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:29.559
they are. But nothing.

190
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:31.519
Well, aren't you going to do anything?

191
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:34.320
Mayo? Is there anything I can do? They're not hurting us.

192
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:35.600
They will right to sit on the beach.

193
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:38.480
Why they're practically in our yard. I want to look

194
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:40.360
at the ocean without a lot of riff rat making

195
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:41.720
a garbage jump in my lap.

196
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:43.399
No one's making your garbage, don't.

197
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.360
Oh they will. They'll eat their lunch and throw papers

198
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:47.120
and scrap.

199
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.279
The food all over Myra. Look, this is a public beach.

200
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.360
We can't run people away just because you don't happen

201
00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:54.559
to like seeing them around.

202
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:57.200
Oh so you're sticking up for them against your own wife.

203
00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:59.840
Huh Do you know it would be nice if for once,

204
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:02.000
just once, you'd be on my side.

205
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:04.519
I can be on your side, Mario when you're in

206
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:07.240
the right, but most of the time you're not. Are

207
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:08.080
only half right?

208
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:09.200
Be'st ignorant?

209
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.799
Still don't now we're ignorant.

210
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.080
Now let her right. That's a free country. Let us.

211
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:18.159
It's not going to be very pleasant if you twist

212
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.000
it up for some.

213
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.480
People after and say, oh the whole thing.

214
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:25.600
You pipe down and you let us scream her head

215
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:30.039
off if you want talk about us, about me, you started,

216
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:33.759
you to stop. It starts, that's all they are. What's

217
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:34.639
the pay then?

218
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:35.960
Is getting kind of nasty?

219
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:39.519
She's some old solid person. Come on, let's move. Why

220
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:41.519
should we we have a right to be here?

221
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.879
I know that she's going to see to it that

222
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:45.200
we don't enjoy ourselves.

223
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.120
The life is too short to quibble. It's simply to move,

224
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:49.480
all right or right?

225
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:51.600
But this house is all along.

226
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:53.559
Suppose everybody tries to drive us away.

227
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:56.399
No, everybody won't be as nasty as she is now.

228
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:00.200
They couldn't be hold this stuff for me. Boy, I

229
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:02.360
shall feel sorry for her height thing. Yeah, it looks

230
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:03.639
like a pretty good scout too.

231
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:05.679
I'm embarrassed about the whole thing.

232
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:08.919
But when is married to her and Harris listening and

233
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:12.480
we don't, they're going, oh, that does it. No, I

234
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:14.360
am not going to let anybody drive us off a

235
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:25.919
public beach with stand right here. They're still out there

236
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:27.039
three hours.

237
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:29.240
For the love of Heaven, Marius is down, eat your lunch.

238
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:31.360
How can you expect me to enjoy my lunch or

239
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.600
anything else as long as that disgusting girl and that

240
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:35.519
awful manner lying right in front of our door.

241
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:37.360
Will you please stop then let me eat?

242
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.720
Looking staring at our windows, look at her, she's laughing

243
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.279
like a silly fool. Can't we do something, call the

244
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:46.440
police and have them come.

245
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:49.840
No, Myra, I told you no forty times. There's no

246
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.159
grounds for a rest. They haven't done anything.

247
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:55.320
Well, I wanted to have lunch on the beach myself,

248
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:56.720
but we couldn't because of them.

249
00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:59.600
You definitely did not. You said we were to week

250
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:02.159
in the car this today and have a picnic lunch tomorrow.

251
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:05.039
Well I changed my mind. It's the perfect day of

252
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.799
being outside there. Tomorrow it may rain, I got it.

253
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:14.559
I'll show them, George, you go up to the attic

254
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:16.600
and get that old phonograph and some of those records

255
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:17.600
the owner left up there.

256
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:18.759
Now, what are you going to do?

257
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:21.879
You'll see, We'll see whether they can camp in front

258
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:23.919
of our cottage and expect to enjoy themselves.

259
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:26.039
So it's the goodness you'd forget those two people out

260
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:27.919
there and try to get some pleasure out of this vacation.

261
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:29.960
Are you going to do what I ask? But do

262
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:32.000
you want me to lug that heavy phonograph down all

263
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:32.679
by myself?

264
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.960
All right, Murra, you in as always, I'll get the phonograph.

265
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:43.240
No, finish your lunch. I didn't mean this minute after lunch, George,

266
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:44.600
come back and eat your lunch.

267
00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:46.840
I got hungry anymore.

268
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:48.320
But you don't have to make much.

269
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:05.519
I'm going to say just one more thing, Myra, and

270
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.000
a lot depends on what you do after I've said it. Yes, George,

271
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.840
every time you play that record, you're making a fool

272
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:12.240
out of me.

273
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:16.879
Oh, Jim, why can't I play the free country? That

274
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:17.720
man said?

275
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:19.600
So com honey, let's go.

276
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:24.279
But she's not getting away with it. We're coming back tomorrow.

277
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.639
Maybe I can dig up an old phonograph. Somewhere and

278
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.720
they couldn't take it. See see, George, I told you so,

279
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:33.720
we've won, George, we have won.

280
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:37.679
Oh no, Myra, you have one. You just scratched the

281
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:39.840
heart out of me with that old worn out needle.

282
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:49.159
George, when you get the dishes done, get those chairs

283
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:50.600
and blankets in front of the cottage.

284
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:53.279
Oh, the chairs, that's the matter. I forgot to bring

285
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:55.000
them in last night. Oh how could you?

286
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:57.200
I told you to bring them in. I distinctly remember

287
00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:57.639
telling you.

288
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:00.960
Oh you told me, all right, I forgot at yesterday.

289
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:01.879
I didn't care much.

290
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:03.679
Well, it's the one you wouldn't remember when I asked

291
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:06.320
you to do things. They'll be all damp, soaking, wet

292
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:08.600
from the fog. If they're still out there, if they

293
00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:09.360
haven't been stolen.

294
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:11.759
Oh, don't get excited. They can see them from a window.

295
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:15.240
Well it's a miracle they haven't been stolen. Anybody could have, George.

296
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:17.360
No, what come here this instant?

297
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.600
Look out there, they've come back. That fellow and girl.

298
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:23.039
They're putting their stuff right where the way yesterday.

299
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:24.960
Mayro, will you please call get.

300
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:26.639
The same thing they got yesterday?

301
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:27.120
All right?

302
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:29.000
Get that pomograph?

303
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:31.720
Be reasonable for the lover Heaven. Be reasonable, wy.

304
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:33.639
Don't have them to be reasonable. Why don't you get

305
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:35.159
out and shout at them to be reasonable?

306
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:36.519
Oh no, you won't do that.

307
00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:39.159
You put the blame on me. I'm the unreasonable one.

308
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:41.320
You won't lift a finger to keep them away, and

309
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.879
when I want to do something, I'm unreasonable. George, it's

310
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:49.000
got they're playing.

311
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:49.480
It on our beat.

312
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:56.039
Myra, George, George, make them stop. George, Stop them, George, Myra,

313
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:57.240
you're making a fool of yourself.

314
00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:59.480
Stop, I say, stops them, George.

315
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:08.200
Parts in session.

316
00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:12.720
Now, I have this to say to both parties in

317
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:17.080
this dispute. We are glad to see all the summer

318
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:21.399
people come to our beach. We welcome all so long

319
00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:25.799
as they behave themselves. But I wanted understood that the

320
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:31.039
beach is a public one, not a private one. Mister

321
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:34.639
and missus Pettitt. The line of the property you rented

322
00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:38.320
for the summer is the retaining wall that ends for

323
00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:43.559
the beach sand begins. It is my understanding this disturbance

324
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:46.639
took place on the beach, and the two parties were

325
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.440
creating a nuisance to other people by paying loud and

326
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:53.559
continuous certain antiquated record that's.

327
00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:54.120
Right, Tirana.

328
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.399
This lady got huppy because we were lying on the

329
00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:57.840
stand in front of her contacts.

330
00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:00.600
Right, Cherana, She got an old record, play it over

331
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:01.000
and over.

332
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:03.360
The next day we came back with a machine of

333
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:06.600
our own. Here are I happen to like that song?

334
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:09.720
I was trying to study the singer's voice. Now that's

335
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:10.360
for the crew.

336
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:17.360
You are directed to study voice in the privacy of

337
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:22.440
your home, not on a public beach. Furthermore, to observe

338
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:28.240
the rules of conduct, which any person of common sense knows. Now,

339
00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:31.279
it's too nice a day to be arguing in a

340
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:37.440
stuffy court room. You are fine ten dollars, but I

341
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:42.399
suspend sentence. However, let me warn all of you that

342
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:45.679
should you be brought into this court again, I shall

343
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:50.600
hand out the severest sentence in the book. Now, all

344
00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:52.519
of you get out of my court and take a

345
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.799
dip in the ocean to cool low.

346
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:06.599
Justice? Is that what they call justice? Isn't this such

347
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:08.759
a thing as a right to privacy in this country anymore?

348
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:12.759
Might as well be living in Russia. And that judge

349
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:14.359
did you see that judge George?

350
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:15.119
Wasn't he awful?

351
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.200
Looking like a gangster. I bet he never saw the

352
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:20.400
inside of a law school. I bet he never went

353
00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:23.000
through the third grade in school. How can they put

354
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:24.400
people like that on the bench, George?

355
00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:26.440
How can they? Oh, I don't know. There ought to be.

356
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:27.759
Something we could do about him.

357
00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:30.319
Myra, We got off easy. Now let's forget it.

358
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:30.839
Forget it?

359
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:32.559
Yes, what are you talking about?

360
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:35.599
Do you expect me to forget a humiliation like that? Why?

361
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:38.319
Why he acted as if we were criminals, like we

362
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:39.440
were the test passes.

363
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:41.720
We just lose, you know, we were fined and the

364
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:42.799
sentence was suspended.

365
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:45.759
I can't believe it about ten with a heye, he'd

366
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.400
like that on the bench. I can believe anything. Where

367
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:50.279
did he learn the law? I'd certainly like to see

368
00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:53.240
his diploma. If I knew where he went to college,

369
00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:55.000
I'd write them a letter and tell them what kind

370
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:56.240
of lawyers they graduate.

371
00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:58.759
His degree was framed and hanging on the wall. He

372
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:00.559
went through hard, Hilly.

373
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:01.119
You couldn't.

374
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:03.640
Would you stop telling me not to be silly? Silly

375
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:05.400
means weak mind us an idiot?

376
00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:08.079
Of course it doesn't. Now. Look, I don't think you're

377
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:10.200
weak minded, but I do think it could be more

378
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:13.759
forceful and aggressive trouble with you, Georgie. Do you let

379
00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:16.079
people run all over you? If you had done what

380
00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:18.240
I asked and told those people to move on, this

381
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:21.880
never would have happened. You're driving too fast. How many

382
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:23.680
times I told you not to drive so fast?

383
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:25.039
At least a thousand times.

384
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:29.119
Well, don't drive so fast? You know it upsets me now,

385
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:32.039
as I was saying, your trouble is that you take

386
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.720
whatever people hand out to you. You never raise a

387
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:36.920
foster tell people to get out of your way. Oh no,

388
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:39.400
that's one reason why you don't get anywhere.

389
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:42.079
Please, I'm tired that I don't want criticism.

390
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:45.079
I'm not criticizing George. I'm just telling you for your

391
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.440
own good, that judge ought to be just barred. He's

392
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:51.400
a disgrace to the legal profession. Maybe we ought to

393
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:53.720
write to the bar Association. I'll bet they do something.

394
00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:56.319
We turn to the beasts who enjoy ourselves. Let's spend

395
00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:58.480
our time reforming the judicial system.

396
00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:01.880
At least we can appeal the case. Couldn't you write

397
00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:03.480
that friend of yours in Boston, you know that big

398
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:05.880
lawyer friend of yours, tell him what happened to us.

399
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.000
Why didn't you bite him down? Here for dinner, so

400
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:09.200
I'm not going to discuss it with him.

401
00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:12.279
Myra. We're not going to act like children. We lost,

402
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:14.720
We got off easy, and I want you to forget

403
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:15.880
about any further act.

404
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:19.119
Why why should we, Oh, do we have to be

405
00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:22.480
humiliated hauled in the court like common criminals because of

406
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:25.559
those those cheap, slowly people who are ruining our beach.

407
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:28.599
Why shouldn't we be able to enjoy our nice cottage.

408
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:31.720
I'm not gonna sit by and let people push me around.

409
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.400
Myra's do whatever you want, but in the name of Heaven,

410
00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:36.720
stop talking about it and let me have some peace.

411
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:40.960
Don't ask back. George, George, why are you driving for fat?

412
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:43.440
I want to see how fast I can go. I

413
00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:45.559
want to see how many telephone poles I can break

414
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.000
down on. I want to drive so the engine falls

415
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:50.839
apart like I am falling apart. You're driving my brains

416
00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:53.400
up and down like the pistons. Your words were exploding

417
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:55.240
in my weary mind, like the cast and the fill

418
00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:57.799
of George, and I can't stand much more of it.

419
00:19:58.279 --> 00:19:59.640
I can't stand much more of.

420
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:04.640
It my from now. Slow down, Please slow down, George.

421
00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:06.839
You're ruining my hair and I just went through the

422
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:24.000
beauty parlor this morning. George, George, wake up?

423
00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:26.000
Huh George, what's the murder?

424
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:26.559
George?

425
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:27.000
Wake up?

426
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:30.200
Well? You get up and see walk on the beach

427
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:35.799
out front. They're back, so awful couple. No phonographs, but fact, boulders,

428
00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:38.400
brass and big as life. Now, I asked you last

429
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:40.640
night to get up early this morning and put the

430
00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:43.960
chairs and blankets out. Now it's too late.

431
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:44.960
Oh, I fell asleep.

432
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:48.319
You did it purposely. You didn't want to put those

433
00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:52.119
things out. You wanted those people to come and annoy me.

434
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:53.759
Oh what's the use, Myra.

435
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:57.960
You've got to do something, Annie Moira, but get those

436
00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:01.519
two spiteful people away from ours. I'm settin now. You

437
00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:03.680
know as well as I do that they only return

438
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:05.839
to rub in that horrible business in court.

439
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:08.960
All right, Myra, I'll do something.

440
00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:13.000
Not wait a minute, not later, not this afternoon, but

441
00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:14.279
now right.

442
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:19.400
Now, sure, sure, right now, I'm getting up, Myrah, I'll

443
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:20.240
do something.

444
00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:23.960
I'll warn them to get out. I'll warn them.

445
00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:26.880
First, another day, another day.

446
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:31.039
Now, listen to you too. I know why you're back,

447
00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:35.519
and I won't count. So go on, get away from here.

448
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.400
So I don't want your kind here judge or no judge,

449
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:46.240
nobody can make a fool out of me. Understand, Listen

450
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:53.279
to me. If you don't go away, out judge, judge

451
00:21:53.319 --> 00:22:05.599
a gun, George, George, don't shoot? Don't George is God's name?

452
00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:13.720
What have you done? They won't bother you Almira anymore ever.

453
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:19.799
George, Look what you've done? Are you fool? Why did

454
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:20.279
you do that?

455
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:32.720
Why? What difference does it make? You couldn't understand? Operator

456
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:38.160
Get me the police. I want to report a murder.

457
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:47.640
I'll never understand what came over George that morning. He

458
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:52.640
must have gone mad, start raving mad. The lawyer, his

459
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:56.599
friend from Boston, Well, he said, insanity. It is the

460
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:02.079
only kind of defense to offer the George humph, No, no,

461
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:07.480
not George. He wouldn't listen. He turned stubborn, and I

462
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:10.960
couldn't prode him to do a thing, not even to

463
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:14.519
save his life. He acted as if he wanted to die.

464
00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:19.279
He left me without a penny. Even his life insurance

465
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:24.119
was gone, little by little behind my back. He borrowed

466
00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:27.799
on it until there was nothing left. What a thing

467
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:31.119
to do to me? After I'd been such a kind

468
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:36.799
and loving wife. Why I didn't even have enough money?

469
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:38.920
To buy a decent morning outfit.

470
00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:49.720

Suspense.

494

This is Warren Moran speaking.

495
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:50.079
Well, my dear, another terrifying suspense story for you. I

496
00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:52.599
hope you found it enjoyable as much as I did.

497
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:55.599
I know most of these are hopefully new to you.

498
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:58.000
They are not new to me, but then again again,

499
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:01.759
not much is new to me. But I'm very excited

500
00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:05.759
because you see, I received another email. You can email

501
00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:10.240
me at Weird Mysteries Show at gmail dot com. This

502
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:14.079
message is from from Well, that's interesting. It's from from

503
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:18.039
the same gentleman who messaged me yesterday. Yesterday Joshua and Wyoming.

504
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:23.000
Joshua writes, Fine, you don't know what they are, but

505
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:26.319
where do they come from? Well, Joshua, I don't much

506
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:30.079
appreciate your tone, but I understand the stress you're under.

507
00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:33.640
Where did they come from? What kind of question is that?

508
00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:39.400
Where do nightmares come from? Where does darkness come frost from?

509
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:44.039
Where does sadness come from? Where does that feeling you

510
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:48.920
get when you know you'll never go home again? Where

511
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:54.400
does that come from? No one can say, and maybe

512
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:57.720
no one should. Thank you for the email. I look

513
00:26:57.759 --> 00:26:59.720
forward to hearing from more of you very soon, very soon.

514
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:02.680
But now it's time for me to retire and returning.

515
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:06.039
Head to your cozy bed, and I'll see you tomorrow

516
00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:06.480
to morrow,
