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...

00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:13.599
Ah, welcome back, my dear, happy to have you. Of course,

2
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:18.760
as always, it's getting rather late, isn't it. I suppose

3
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:23.039
that means it's time for another scary story. So saying

4
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:29.800
you know, what I love about stories is that there

5
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:32.520
has to be an author. There has to be a

6
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:39.000
person's behind it, orchestrating things like some kind of more

7
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:45.520
benevolent god. I find that truly fascinating. I myself have

8
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.840
sat down with the typewriter many a times and pushed

9
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:50.960
out a tone or two. Maybe one day I'll share

10
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.359
one with you, but I am quite insecure. What's that?

11
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.079
What's that? Oh? No, no, no, no, no, don't you worry

12
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:01.119
about it? Why don't you get comfort? Have a couple

13
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:04.480
of tea. I brewed it just for you yesterday. It's

14
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.959
cold outside, but in here it's going to be downright

15
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:13.840
shilling as we learn of the author and the thing.

16
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:17.680
You thing.

17
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.200
This is our jobler, bringing me another in our series

18
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.840
of stories of the unusual. And once again we caution you,

19
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.599
these lights out stories are definitely not for the timid soul.

20
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.359
So we tell you calmly and very sincerely, if you

21
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.159
frank and easily turn off your radio now.

22
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.439
But Goddard. Answer the phone, please.

23
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:03.280
Don't miss e. Oh yes, it's Harrison here, he is

24
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:06.799
over there, Harrison.

25
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:11.240
Oh oh, thank you? Tell Jone. How's a fan of lady?

26
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:12.159
You know?

27
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:12.759
Ye?

28
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:13.680
Now?

29
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:16.039
Am I in trouble till the last lights out? I

30
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.120
just don't know what to write about. Oh no, I

31
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.919
got plenty of lies there is. But oh well, men

32
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:25.240
dying in foxholes? And what am I doing thinking of? Fantastic? Well,

33
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.479
thanks very much, but I still insist that I ought

34
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:31.680
to be Yeah, okay, sure, I'll make this last one

35
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.680
a good one, and then that'll be last if finally

36
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.759
through it. Huh No, No, I was just talking to myself.

37
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:43.400
I've been doing that rather consistently these last few days. Yes,

38
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:45.879
I guess all those zombies and ghouls and look Cruz

39
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:46.840
are finally caught up with me.

40
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:48.120
Yeah, I know, I know.

41
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:50.439
Two aspirins and a glass of water every half hour.

42
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.879
I don't here, Miss Harrison, don't worry about me. I'll

43
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:56.400
get the story written the night off. I have to

44
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:00.879
talk to the devil himself to do it. Light John, Yeah, sure,

45
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:02.639
oh fine, fine, call me back in an hour and

46
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:04.759
I'll have some kind of a plot figured out. I

47
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:10.000
hope GM I regards to Norman. Talk to you later, Oh,

48
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:10.599
miss Gotter.

49
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:11.199
Let's get to.

50
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.439
Work, Yes, sir, what time is it anyway?

51
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:15.080
Eleven thirty two?

52
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:17.879
Sorry, I have to keep you working so they that's

53
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:18.639
certainly all right.

54
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:20.199
I know you have to have that play done by

55
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:20.879
tomorrow morning.

56
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:21.840
I'm glad to help.

57
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:26.879
You're an angel. Angel. That's a strange word to use

58
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:28.319
here in this room where I have thought off so

59
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:32.360
many demons in Monty. Tell me, or maybe you won't

60
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.360
want to tell me, what miss Over working with me on.

61
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:36.120
These lights out plays?

62
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:37.039
Do you ever get frightened?

63
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:41.560
Well, yes, I do get frightened many times.

64
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:44.719
It was a time I'd have found had very amusing,

65
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:45.800
but not tonight.

66
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.400
Is there something wrong, Miss Ober, I don't know.

67
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:51.159
Tell me.

68
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.240
Did you ever sit alone in a room at night

69
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:57.520
and have a premonition, I mean, suddenly get the feeling

70
00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:59.800
that's somewhere in the house, perhaps in the darkness, and

71
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.879
then extreme something was waiting, something of malignancy and evil.

72
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.199
What's the matter with me? If I keep on talking

73
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:07.919
like this, I'll be.

74
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.159
Using these exhibit as in the psychopathic ward.

75
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:12.360
Come on, let's get the work, Yes, sir.

76
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:15.560
I see. We'll start out next week's play.

77
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.000
With the regular lights out opening like that, everybody chimes

78
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:23.160
like everything you thinks gone. First character is named Helm

79
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.600
and call Helen Jack Helman Hl. I'm an two outsta.

80
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:33.439
He commits some murder and he, oh, what's the use?

81
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:35.560
I can't write another one of these things? Ghosts and

82
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:36.279
groans and blood.

83
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:37.279
I tell you, I can't do it.

84
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:38.920
I can't do it. I used to over there.

85
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:44.199
I'm sorry, bokay with scottter you better run along, but

86
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:44.839
we going.

87
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:46.480
I just can't write anymore tonight.

88
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:47.319
What's the cat?

89
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.399
They'll be standing by the rehearsal.

90
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:50.519
Trouble with the rehearsal.

91
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:52.879
I'm not gonna go insane writing these things for anybody now,

92
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.439
and I'll run along. Please try to get some rest, and

93
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:57.680
you come back her in the morning. We'll see what

94
00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:58.160
we can do.

95
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.160
Did you say, are you sure you're all right?

96
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.639
Please? Go all right?

97
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:06.480
Good night?

98
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:07.319
Good night?

99
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.560
What's come over me? Anyway?

100
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.240
Why did I tell her to go gotta write this

101
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:19.480
white premonation?

102
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:21.560
She want to?

103
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:31.160
Thought I was getting softy? Who's there? Oh?

104
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.120
Oh I am in bad shape. The wind rattles the

105
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.279
window when I lights out.

106
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:40.120
Author goes enough, there's the headline for a variety. I

107
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:44.160
gotta get down to earth A quarter twelve the only

108
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:45.560
thing she'd call back in an hour.

109
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:47.360
I've gotta have some kind of a plot by then.

110
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:49.480
Let me see.

111
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.480
How about a press age named black killing a man

112
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.560
named white and black and white murder?

113
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:56.879
Ooh that coin.

114
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.079
Maybe I could use a story about a Hollywood producer.

115
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:04.399
Let's see Johnny Hour. He meets a girl and I'm

116
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:06.439
afraid because the girl's hush?

117
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:07.759
Is that out of character?

118
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.360
How about Nero chopping off heads in the Roman circuits?

119
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:19.000
And certainly he's quiet in here? Yell all day for quiet.

120
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:23.000
Now that I've got it, I have got the jit

121
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.240
What the devil have I got to be jittery about.

122
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:27.120
Things are what they are.

123
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.040
If anybody knows that, I do two until he makes four,

124
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.240
unless you're talking about curved space, and then the head

125
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.000
hold on to what they've gotten. Aybody who's in this

126
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.319
war for prop it out of his bones, broken off something?

127
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:39.959
What the devil am I talking about?

128
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:44.360
Okay?

129
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:47.040
I had better stop kidding myself. I know what's wrong.

130
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:50.480
I want to write it, and yet I don't. What's

131
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:51.360
the matter with me?

132
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:52.759
Afraid I put it down on paper.

133
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:54.120
What have I got to be afraid of?

134
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:55.439
It goes?

135
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:59.879
Get over with it outline of title on the side,

136
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.399
put out of my system. Play opens in the cell

137
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.680
of a monastery in the Middle Ages. A mystic is

138
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:12.439
cowered in a corner of his room, outside a mob

139
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:16.079
that's clamoring for his life. It appears that a horrible

140
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:19.959
crime has been committed in the village below. A horrible

141
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:24.600
monster had torn a woman. It appears that this creature,

142
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:28.079
brought into being through the incantations of the Sorcerer, was

143
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.079
the concentration of all the evil and men's hearts and minds.

144
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.560
A tremendous force of fiendishness and inhumanity put into living

145
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:37.920
flesh to roam the world and commit.

146
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:41.399
Unspeakable of all the drivel.

147
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.480
A tremendous force of fiendishness and inhumanity put into living flesh,

148
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:48.720
to roam the world and come in unspeakable hut boom,

149
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:53.160
well drivel. And there it is on paper, the owly

150
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:57.800
monster conceived and the own mind. Congratulations, Papa Habit, the GUYE.

151
00:07:57.560 --> 00:07:59.079
Conceived in my own mind.

152
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.759
H That's what that crazy monk said in that book

153
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:03.399
that wolf.

154
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:07.879
Gave me one who gave him that, that one conceived him.

155
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:09.199
Where's that book anyway?

156
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:09.800
It ought to be?

157
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:16.199
Yes, I even marked the page. And I say unto

158
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.000
thee that if thou shalt be evil, and do evil,

159
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.800
and think evil, and let thy mind rest upon this

160
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:24.040
evilness in the light of day and in the darkness

161
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:27.160
of night, for seven days and seven nights, there may

162
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.399
come into being a thing of evil. And it shall

163
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:33.039
take the form of the evilness of thy thought, written

164
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.879
by half startimistic, more than ten centuries ago. And I funny,

165
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:39.919
I should have thought of those words tonight.

166
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:44.200
I have been thinking about him for a week. Shall

167
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:49.399
take the evil the form of the evilness of thy thought?

But Ober, you can't do a thing like that and

291
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:17.600
just walk away from it.

292
00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:19.799
What I've explained it to you, I've explained it everyone

293
00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:21.120
one hundred times a thousand times.

294
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:22.240
When anyone believe me?

295
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:24.759
Now look here, Arch, I'm your attorney. I want to

296
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:25.039
help you.

297
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:26.879
A great number of people want to help you, and

298
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:29.240
we certainly can't do a thing, and that you cooperate. Yes,

299
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:30.320
that's what I said, cooperate.

300
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:31.039
What do you want me to do?

301
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:34.360
Tell the truth, the whole truth. I told you. Yes, yes,

302
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:35.679
I know what you told me.

303
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:37.799
It's a horrible thing that you conceived in your mind,

304
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:41.519
came to life and did a number of peculiar things.

305
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:43.799
But oh see here, sure you don't think that even

306
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:45.399
the most stupid Julian on earth is going to believe

307
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:49.759
that nonsense. You don't believe me, Well, I've heard many

308
00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:52.919
peculiar albies from my radio clients in time.

309
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.679
But well, listen, if you want to plead temporary, I'm

310
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:56.919
not insane. I'm not insane.

311
00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:57.679
I'm not in the mess.

312
00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:00.600
Here a saying explanation of what happened that night. I

313
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.600
told you. I told you everything, just the way it happened.

314
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:04.559
My brother came home.

315
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:07.759
Yet yes, I know, well your brother came into the

316
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:09.679
room and was eaten up by this monster and then

317
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:10.200
that girl.

318
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:13.320
Oh what's the use? Apparently you want to die. I've

319
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:15.879
tried so hard to make you understand.

320
00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:18.080
I've tried to make you understand that if you don't

321
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:20.360
stop this infernal nonsense and hurry up and tell me

322
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:23.039
the truth of what really happened, you'll either find yourself

323
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:24.840
taking it one way, walk to the electric chair, or

324
00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:26.519
wake up in a pants selling an asylum for the

325
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:30.080
criminally insane. The fact of the matter is they've already

326
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:32.279
appointed a lunacy commission to pass on your case.

327
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:33.840
Lunacy.

328
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:39.080
Oh here, Arch, no wait, let me talk, go right ahead,

329
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:40.240
that's what I want you to do.

330
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:43.720
Maybe I am insane. I don't know.

331
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.159
First I told myself was nothing but a nightmare, that

332
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:50.039
i'd wake up and find it at all. But nothing

333
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:52.000
but a weird dream that never really happened.

334
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:52.919
But it's not a dream, and no.

335
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:54.679
One will believe my story, not even you want such

336
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:57.480
an irrational story, How can you expect anyone to believe it?

337
00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:01.960
Not take that part about your other being devoured alive

338
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:03.440
by this this monster.

339
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:06.680
It happened, Did it happen? Just as I said it.

340
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:10.359
It's common knowledge that your brother is pre induction vacationing

341
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:12.880
up north with your mother. He came back youing they

342
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:15.519
are coming back. I sent your brother a wire to

343
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:17.400
come back and bring your mother home at once. They

344
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:18.200
ought to be here today.

345
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:19.799
My brother did.

346
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:23.799
Well, that's your preposterous story. This this thing, this monster,

347
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:25.480
who was supposed to have committed all these crimes.

348
00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:27.279
Where is he? Where did he come from? Where's he

349
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:27.599
going to?

350
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:29.319
I don't know.

351
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:30.839
Did the police see him?

352
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:31.200
No?

353
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:34.799
Did anyone see him? No? Oh, arch arch.

354
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:36.960
If you're going to think up an alibi, just save yourself,

355
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:38.640
for Heaven's sake, think up a better one.

356
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:39.079
Than that one.

357
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:44.200
I'm not trying to think of alibis. I'm just trying

358
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:47.839
to explain what happened to you, and maybe to myself.

359
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:52.559
I haven't believed much during my life, except perhaps that

360
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:54.839
somewhere there was a par that went beyond life and death.

361
00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:57.960
What happened to me isn't explainable any terms that you

362
00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:00.680
and I. But mister Gang, I tell what did happen.

363
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:02.640
I thought of a monster for seven days and seven

364
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:04.640
nights in my own mind, and like that prophet of

365
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:06.519
the Middle Ages warned, the evil thing came to life,

366
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:07.880
and yet only I could see it and hear it.

367
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:09.519
And do you see and hear it?

368
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:09.839
Now?

369
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:14.119
No, that's what I can't quite understand.

370
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:17.799
Perhaps the horrible thing only has life when I think

371
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:19.559
about it, intensely intense.

372
00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:21.440
That's it, yea.

373
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:23.880
It only has life when my thoughts give it life.

374
00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:25.200
It's like an idea, don't you see.

375
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:26.799
It's a gang like an idea, only exist when you

376
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:28.599
think of it. Her thought gives it life. And that's

377
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:34.920
the way it is with that terrible think. Listen, listen,

378
00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:36.119
so listen.

379
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:38.200
Do you hear him say so?

380
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:39.880
He is in the corner? I tell you we're there.

381
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:41.640
Don't get hear slubbering and slobbering.

382
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:43.799
I see it now, I say your thing.

383
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:46.440
I'm not afraid of you anymore, you hear me. I'm

384
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:46.839
not afraid.

385
00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:48.640
I'll kid you what give you what you see?

386
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:54.880
Oh my god, my god, he's gonna be seen.

387
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:55.920
You're not seen.

388
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:18.799
You put down that bottle? Are we a commissioner? Unity?

389
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:25.599
And I know how suddenly you gentlemen feel about this matter.

390
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:27.759
But after all we must come to a decision on

391
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:31.039
his mental status as chairman of this unency commission.

392
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:34.400
I feel that it is incumbent upon me too. Shall

393
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:37.480
I say, summarize the facts that they have been played?

394
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:38.000
Be fast.

395
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:43.920
First, it is an established fact that a murder, and

396
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:47.920
a very horrible murder, has been committed. The police officer

397
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:51.839
has testified very conclusively that our Chobler was there upon

398
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:54.680
the scene of the crime, and that it was absolutely

399
00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:57.720
impossible for anyone else to have committed the murder.

400
00:19:58.400 --> 00:19:59.640
In other words, the.

401
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.640
Man whose mental status we are too determined is a murderer.

402
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:11.839
Consider further facts. Does he wear conventional shirt? Another fact?

403
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:16.920
Does he participate in normal activities such as drinking, dancing,

404
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:22.640
paternal orders, and similar beneficial social activities? No, my fire,

405
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:26.359
Fact upon fact, have you, gentlemen, ever listened to his play?

406
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:32.720
What are some of the distinctive features of these works? Vice?

407
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:42.359
Strange whispering vice? You know that, gentleman always whisperingvices vice.

408
00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:47.440
Gentlemen, I am of the firm opinion that we are

409
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:50.960
dealing with a very definite case of the menta raycock

410
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:53.400
in its paranoidal.

411
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:21.200
Not watch like timing in and say that sidem.

412
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:28.279
Oh, I'm nothing to say that. No one, of course,

413
00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:33.119
I don't expect yourself anymore. Please, but.

414
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:37.839
If there was only some way I can make them

415
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:41.960
see the things I say it you believe what I

416
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:48.000
told you, don't You course, Eli would only get sick.

417
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:53.720
HELI, But I told you Eli would You're like the others.

418
00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:55.000
You don't believe me. I know you don't.

419
00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:56.000
You will believe.

420
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:58.680
I'll make you believe. You stay here than you are

421
00:21:58.720 --> 00:21:59.039
listening to that.

422
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:00.920
I think it here, I think of you. I give

423
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:01.759
you a life. I give you life.

424
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:06.599
Do you hear, mother, you hear? It does exist?

425
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:06.880
It does?

426
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:10.839
No, don't get kill It's right behind your turn.

427
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:11.160
See.

428
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:18.839
Believe I'm not saying I'm not my mother saying my mother?

429
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:20.640
No, so my mother?

430
00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:33.359
All right, all right.

431
00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:35.640
Catto?

432
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:41.599
Oh yes, John midnight already. Yeah, I haven't sitting here

433
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:45.359
very comfortably. And I finally thought of the plotline, and

434
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:50.400
believe me, it's quite a brainstorm. I die, sure, Sure,

435
00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:52.039
it's my final broadcast.

436
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:54.319
And why not. No, I'm not dagging. Listen to me.

437
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:55.200
You know.

438
00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:57.319
It's all about a monster that I can sive to

439
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:00.640
my only bitty mind and it comes to life. So honestly,

440
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:03.039
I haven't had a cocing hours. It's going to be

441
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:05.599
one of those, you know, crazy stories inside of a story.

442
00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:06.759
I listen.

443
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:09.519
The way I've got it figured out is this.

444
00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:12.759
Now, I'm supposed to be sitting here thinking of this

445
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:16.359
horrible monster, and suddenly I turn around and there is

446
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:19.000
he and my young brother comes in and this monstery

447
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:19.839
am up alive.

448
00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:21.960
And then Mercy the cambridge comes in and.

449
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:25.200
Wait a minute, wait a minute, John, hold it for

450
00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:28.440
a minute. I think someone came in. I imagine it's

451
00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:29.400
Bernie Elsie who.

452
00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:41.880
Joan Joe listening that things. It's true, this time is

453
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:43.400
really happening.

454
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:05.680
It is.

455
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:10.119
Later then.

456
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:24.799
You, my the win surely did pick up pick up

457
00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:26.319
during that story story?

458
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:30.920
Or maybe it was just my imagination. These stories are

459
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.920
all about imagination, you know. Seems to me like you

460
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:37.160
have quite an active one, yourself and yourself. Do you

461
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:41.400
ever look off into the darkness? Do you ever imagine

462
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:46.799
what could be there? Maybe you're not imagining it. Maybe

463
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:51.799
it really is there. Maybe it's trying to let you know.

464
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:56.640
It has its own reasons, of course that we'll never understand.

465
00:24:58.880 --> 00:25:01.839
Next time you see a dark corner, give it a

466
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:06.359
wing and no, no, it's right there with here. Ah.

467
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:10.599
But now the sun is rising, it's time for you

468
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:13.279
to get back to your cozy, comfy bed while I

469
00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:16.119
go back to where it is I come from. So

470
00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:21.359
until tomorrow, remember, remember, be happy with what you have
