was sticking up a filling station,
and well they drug me in. Was
21
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:49.159
to frap to beat since they got
me standing their flat foot and holding a
22
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:53.879
gun on one of the filling station
guys. And well the coppers didn't like
23
00:02:53.960 --> 00:03:00.879
me anyway. Huh oh yeah,

117
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.159

118
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:09.000
make me go to sunny school and
they used to talk about hell, there,
119
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:18.799

You gotta croak sometime. Yeah,

124
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:48.440
I know there's one way you could
get out of some of the hell
125
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.720
though. Man, oh, bump
yourself up. What do you mean?
126
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:56.320
Well, if you wait for the
law to punish you, that's one thing.
127
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.720
If you take the law in your
own hands, m well, kind
128
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:09.600
of punish yourself. You got to
make a difference. Is it pretty tough
129
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:16.559
skater? What? Hell dyant?
It hurts awful? The chair? I
130
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:22.600

and figuring you're gonna take it and you're
131
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:28.600

132
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:33.360

00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:52.639
Don't put the miller? Turn on
the night with your turn of mine?
146
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:56.039
Will just put him in it.
S it's got you down there.
147
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:02.240
Please turn on the light. Oh
why not? It would be darker still
148
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:12.720
when I turn him off again?
What's the matter? Now? Well,
149
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:21.480
there ain't anybody here, WAPs.
I was skeeter in here with your kids.
150
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:30.960
I thought, I thought, there
right anybody here? Oh, yes,
151
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.480
there is night. I would worry
about him right here beside you,
152
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:48.879
and I'm gonna stay. They kept
me in that sell there for four weeks.
153
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:52.399
Every once in a while Mill had
come in and stand there in front
154
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.840
of the door and laugh at me. Gonna sign a compression, make see
155
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:03.200
He'd say, Oh, I wasn't
gonna give him nothing. What that place
156
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:07.359
got me? As soon as it
was dark? Ideas did he would step
157
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:12.359
me come and sit down with him. I was almost scared at first.
158
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:17.799
It's kind of hard to get used
to. Practically they would a ghost.
159
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:25.000
But then I kind of get used
to him. Was always telling me how
160
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:29.960
I was gonna burn, and how
I'd be better off to hang myself like
161
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:34.720
George Brown done it. I guess
it was not though I wouldn't nothing,
162
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:40.839
have no lawyer see them. They
was keeping me in there without throwing anything
163
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:44.119
about it, so as they could
hand me the wrap when the time come,
164
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.680
well, all the time come someplace
or other. A Miller dug up
165
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:53.400
the evidence that I wouldn't give'em, and they had me and how they
166
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:59.920
had me so one morning full me
klitter and I'm sitting in the car.
167
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:21.480
No, the jury's been out twenty
minutes. Everybody rides been down. Gentlemen
168
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:25.680
of the jury, have you arrived
at a verdict? We have, your
169
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:36.000
honor? Will you pass the verdict
to the bailey please? Where the jury
170
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:45.839
find the defendant Mix Young guilty of
murder in the first degree, Mster Pullman.
171
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:51.240
Is this your verdict? It is
your honor. The dependent will rise
172
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:59.680
and get up next seton Max Young? Have you anything to say before sentences
173
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:06.200
passed? Don't you ly? No, your honor, you realize that in
174
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:10.440
a verdict of guilty of first degree
murder, the death penalty is mandatory.
175
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:17.880
Yeah, yeah, your honor.
Very well, then it is the sentence
176
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:22.359
of this court that you are to
be taken from this place and between the
177
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:27.960
twenty first and the thirtieth December,
shopped to death by electricity. And may
178
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:33.799
God have mercy on your soul.
Alright, Macy, how on this way?
179
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:52.000
Well? Max? That's that?
Yeah? Did you say? Well?
180
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.160
I didn't say nothing. It was
me Max. I said there's only
181
00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:19.559
one way out. No. Well, so that was that there wasn't ready
182
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:22.440
to send me down to the state
prison where they bump off guys, or
183
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.240
they kept me in this here winging
the canny chair where they had me in
184
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:32.519
the skear of Dempsey's old cell.
I guess this guy I must have liked
185
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:37.799
his pearl Ambrose hop and quite a
lot the guy I knocked off. Huh,
186
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:44.759
Sure I knocked him off. What
he use the kidding around? Hey?
187
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.359
Guess he musta thought a lot I
am, cause he kept me in
188
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.480
there where it was dark, where
I'd be scared to death all the time,
189
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:59.680
really getting even. How'd I kind
of fool him? I wasn't so
190
00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:04.319
sc He had a Skeeter by this
time. I got so I set in
191
00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:12.960
the dark there and be waiting for
him, and we'd talk about everything in
192
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:19.960
the world. It was funny people
out of history, and funny places and
193
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:26.720
stuff, and ah, a lot
of things. Skeeter told me he saw
194
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:32.559
a lot of the guys where he
talked about may Row and Judas Iscariot.
195
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:37.559
But why not? He was dead, wasn't he? And so was they?
196
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.440
Oh? But I got a hurry
up with my ghost doing Ay,
197
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.599
that's right. Uh. What I
was gonna say was I was sitting there
198
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:52.880
one night, the twenty thirty was
day before Christmas Eve. Setting in the
199
00:21:52.000 --> 00:22:11.839
darkened I heard Skeeter come hello,
Skeeter, Oh Mac, how you feeling
200
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:17.759
not so hot? Still thinking about
the hot squad? Huh? What else
201
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:21.920
do you expect me to think about? I wish they'd hurry up and get
202
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:25.880
it over it, That's what I
wish. It's tomorrow night. What is
203
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:33.839
they burned it on Christmas Eve?
Yeap? Honest, Skeeter, how do
204
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:37.400
you know I found out? Oh
god, Oh, don't take it so
205
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.440
hard. I'll walk in with you
when they take it to the chair.
206
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.200
I'll stand right there alongside you.
Where do you ski her? What do
207
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:52.279
you? Honest? Sure won't do
you much good? Though? Why I
208
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:56.799
can't keep it from hurting? The
honest, skitter? Does it hurt a
209
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:02.759
lot? Or is it all over
pretty quick? It seemed to me to
210
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:07.440
last one hundred years. Oh I'm
a sucker for pain, Skeeter. All
211
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.440
right, sure, I cut my
finger once I put in your croaked with
212
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:17.319
the pain. You ain't felt nothing
yet? Yeah? Yeah, gee?
213
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:19.079
I remember two when I busted my
leg. My old lady set up all
214
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:25.359
night holding my hand and me brawling
herself. Feel like a million busted legs.
215
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:32.480
Listen, Skeeter, what did you
say? George Bound told you didn't
216
00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:38.319
hurt much bumping yourself off, That's
what he said. What I I was
217
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:44.839
wondering, Well, I know what
i'd do if I was in your place?
218
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:51.799
Yeah? Would you bump yourself off? Yeah? I I don't think
219
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:55.960
I got the cuts through it.
Skeeter. It ain't high. You got
220
00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:59.640
a belt, you could get it
around your neck and climb up on the
221
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:04.559
bunk, Fasten the belt to the
bars up above. Then all you gotta
222
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:11.319
do is jump on. Yeah,
Yeah, you know it would help you
223
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.480
out if you did. What do
you mean, Well, you know I
224
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:22.640
told you kind of punishing yourself.
See, I know I can't. I
225
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.400
can't, I can't I don't want
to die. Well, it's all right
226
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:29.880
with me. I was just telling
you. Believe me that I know what
227
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:37.559
I'm talking about. Joia Skeeter,
j Yeah, I wish I had to
228
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:42.279
cut to do it. I don't
care what you're doing. Matte all are
229
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:45.680
you going to get burned tomorrow night? Anyway? And if you want to
230
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:49.680
get out of the most awful pain
you ever had, do yourself a good
231
00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:56.240
turn. At the same time.
Well, I wonder what it feels like.
232
00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:00.680
George Brown said, it only hurt
for a minute. I had much
233
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:07.440
guts that I remember. Nope,
your account's miller. Wanna tug out?
234
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:14.680
I guess yeah. You don't look
very happy? Do what you were seeing
235
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:22.440
the dark? Yeah? Hell?
Max, holdo Layer brought me to turn

You ain't got no folks. No. I could get you a bottle
245
00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:25.279
of bourbon if you wanted it.
Nah, what's the use? Well,
246
00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:27.720
you gotta get ready to go down
to the state prison a little while.
247
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:33.279
They got the fell. I mean
that's where you gotta go to where they

I guess so. Well. Kind of
249
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:45.920
hate to leave this place at that, do you. Yeah. Excared me
250
00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:49.160
quite a lot at first, but
I guess it's taught me a lot being
251
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:55.680
here in the dark all along except
for me. Man. Yeah, well,
252
00:26:55.880 --> 00:27:00.440
Max, listen, try to take

don't go away now. I have to.
260
00:27:53.279 --> 00:28:00.599
And just in case you decide to
do what George Brown did the extra
261
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:06.799
piece of rope under the matter,
you won't have to use your belt along.
262
00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:36.000
Well, there you are. That's
your ghost story. You believe in
263
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:45.079
ghosts, now you don't? We
you're you see I took Skins advice.
264
00:28:45.279 --> 00:29:02.920
I hung myself. I'd been dead
six month. All right, you can
265
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.880
turn them on. Now you've just
heard the third in the Summer series of
266
00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:11.960
Lights Out. Tonight's story featured Norman
Gottschalk as Maxie, Stanley Schule as Keeter
267
00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:15.920
Dempsey, and Roy Angel as Miller
Boris. Aplan was Heard as the Judge
268
00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:21.200
and Nathan Davis as Johnny. Next
Saturday night, come nine o'clock, We've
269
00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:22.880
got a story cooked up for you
that ought to give you a chill in
270
00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:29.119
the hottest weather. Two master magicians
both in the Inner Cult of Haitian Budhaoism,
271
00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:33.000
Blockhorns and the Titanic Struggle which comes
to a climax over the Chicago Airport.
272
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:38.480
So you'd better make a mental note
to be near your radio next Saturday
273
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:52.279
evening. Flights Out is produced and
directed by Albert Cruz. This is NBC,
274
00:29:52.519 --> 00:30:02.000
the National Broadcasting Company. I apologize
it's still a bit nippy in here.
275
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:06.720
I've done the best I could with
the modest amount of wood I have
276
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:11.440
for my fireplace. But that's okay
now, because well, it's time for
277
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:18.240
you to go home to your comfy, cozy, warm bed and the sun
278
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:22.359
will be out soon, so of
course I'll need to return to wherever it
279
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.480
is that I come from as well, my dear, But if you want
280
00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:30.519
to reach out to me, please
send me an email. Yes I can
281
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:37.160
receive those here. Send me an
email at Weird Mysteries Show at gmail dot
282
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:42.119

read it on the air. But for
283
00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:51.720
now, remember careful getting hold,
enjoy that warm bed, and always always
284
00:30:52.519 --> 00:31:02.400
appreciate what you've got. I'll see
you tomorrow. Drink I give into follow
285
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:14.200

286
00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:18.240
bring me you wumbling. I think
you break it. O.
1
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:15.720
Ah, good to see you back, my dear. I know, I
2
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:23.239
know. It's so cold out there. The wind howling are like some kind
3
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:29.839
of four legged beasts. What's that? What's that? Oh? No,
4
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:34.240
no, no, no, all
they couldn't get in here. Impossible,
5
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:38.320
possible. I don't think they even
know we're here at all at all.
6
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:45.399

me standing their flat foot and holding a

00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:48.440
I know there's one way you could
get out of some of the hell
125
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.720
though. Man, oh, bump
yourself up. What do you mean?
126
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:56.320
Well, if you wait for the
law to punish you, that's one thing.
127
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.720
If you take the law in your
own hands, m well, kind
128
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:09.600
of punish yourself. You got to
make a difference. Is it pretty tough

and figuring you're gonna take it and you're
131
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:28.600

00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:03.200
He'd say, Oh, I wasn't
gonna give him nothing. What that place
156
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:07.359
got me? As soon as it
was dark? Ideas did he would step
157
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:12.359
me come and sit down with him. I was almost scared at first.
158
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:17.799
It's kind of hard to get used
to. Practically they would a ghost.
159
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:25.000
But then I kind of get used
to him. Was always telling me how
160
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:29.960
I was gonna burn, and how
I'd be better off to hang myself like
161
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:34.720
George Brown done it. I guess
it was not though I wouldn't nothing,
162
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:40.839
have no lawyer see them. They
was keeping me in there without throwing anything
163
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:44.119
about it, so as they could
hand me the wrap when the time come,
164
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.680
well, all the time come someplace
or other. A Miller dug up
165
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:53.400
the evidence that I wouldn't give'em, and they had me and how they
166
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:59.920
had me so one morning full me
klitter and I'm sitting in the car.
167
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:21.480
No, the jury's been out twenty
minutes. Everybody rides been down. Gentlemen
168
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:25.680
of the jury, have you arrived
at a verdict? We have, your
169
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:36.000
honor? Will you pass the verdict
to the bailey please? Where the jury
170
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:45.839
find the defendant Mix Young guilty of
murder in the first degree, Mster Pullman.
171
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:51.240
Is this your verdict? It is
your honor. The dependent will rise
172
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:59.680
and get up next seton Max Young? Have you anything to say before sentences
173
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:06.200
passed? Don't you ly? No, your honor, you realize that in
174
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:10.440
a verdict of guilty of first degree
murder, the death penalty is mandatory.
175
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:17.880
Yeah, yeah, your honor.
Very well, then it is the sentence
176
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:22.359
of this court that you are to
be taken from this place and between the
177
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:27.960
twenty first and the thirtieth December,
shopped to death by electricity. And may
178
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:33.799
God have mercy on your soul.
Alright, Macy, how on this way?
179
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:52.000
Well? Max? That's that?
Yeah? Did you say? Well?
180
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.160
I didn't say nothing. It was
me Max. I said there's only
181
00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:19.559
one way out. No. Well, so that was that there wasn't ready
182
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:22.440
to send me down to the state
prison where they bump off guys, or
183
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.240
they kept me in this here winging
the canny chair where they had me in
184
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:32.519
the skear of Dempsey's old cell.
I guess this guy I must have liked
185
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:37.799
his pearl Ambrose hop and quite a
lot the guy I knocked off. Huh,
186
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:44.759
Sure I knocked him off. What
he use the kidding around? Hey?
187
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.359
Guess he musta thought a lot I
am, cause he kept me in
188
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.480
there where it was dark, where
I'd be scared to death all the time,
189
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:59.680
really getting even. How'd I kind
of fool him? I wasn't so
190
00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:04.319
sc He had a Skeeter by this
time. I got so I set in
191
00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:12.960
the dark there and be waiting for
him, and we'd talk about everything in
192
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:19.960
the world. It was funny people
out of history, and funny places and
193
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:26.720
stuff, and ah, a lot
of things. Skeeter told me he saw
194
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:32.559
a lot of the guys where he
talked about may Row and Judas Iscariot.
195
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:37.559
But why not? He was dead, wasn't he? And so was they?
196
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.440
Oh? But I got a hurry
up with my ghost doing Ay,
197
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.599
that's right. Uh. What I
was gonna say was I was sitting there
198
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:52.880
one night, the twenty thirty was
day before Christmas Eve. Setting in the
199
00:21:52.000 --> 00:22:11.839
darkened I heard Skeeter come hello,
Skeeter, Oh Mac, how you feeling
200
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:17.759
not so hot? Still thinking about
the hot squad? Huh? What else
201
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:21.920
do you expect me to think about? I wish they'd hurry up and get
202
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:25.880
it over it, That's what I
wish. It's tomorrow night. What is
203
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:33.839
they burned it on Christmas Eve?
Yeap? Honest, Skeeter, how do
204
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:37.400
you know I found out? Oh
god, Oh, don't take it so
205
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.440
hard. I'll walk in with you
when they take it to the chair.
206
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.200
I'll stand right there alongside you.
Where do you ski her? What do
207
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:52.279
you? Honest? Sure won't do
you much good? Though? Why I
208
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:56.799
can't keep it from hurting? The
honest, skitter? Does it hurt a
209
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:02.759
lot? Or is it all over
pretty quick? It seemed to me to
210
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:07.440
last one hundred years. Oh I'm
a sucker for pain, Skeeter. All
211
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.440
right, sure, I cut my
finger once I put in your croaked with
212
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:17.319
the pain. You ain't felt nothing
yet? Yeah? Yeah, gee?
213
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:19.079
I remember two when I busted my
leg. My old lady set up all
214
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:25.359
night holding my hand and me brawling
herself. Feel like a million busted legs.
215
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:32.480
Listen, Skeeter, what did you
say? George Bound told you didn't
216
00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:38.319
hurt much bumping yourself off, That's
what he said. What I I was
217
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:44.839
wondering, Well, I know what
i'd do if I was in your place?
218
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:51.799
Yeah? Would you bump yourself off? Yeah? I I don't think
219
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:55.960
I got the cuts through it.
Skeeter. It ain't high. You got
220
00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:59.640
a belt, you could get it
around your neck and climb up on the
221
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:04.559
bunk, Fasten the belt to the
bars up above. Then all you gotta
222
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:11.319
do is jump on. Yeah,
Yeah, you know it would help you
223
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.480
out if you did. What do
you mean, Well, you know I
224
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:22.640
told you kind of punishing yourself.
See, I know I can't. I
225
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.400
can't, I can't I don't want
to die. Well, it's all right
226
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:29.880
with me. I was just telling
you. Believe me that I know what
227
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:37.559
I'm talking about. Joia Skeeter,
j Yeah, I wish I had to
228
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:42.279
cut to do it. I don't
care what you're doing. Matte all are
229
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:45.680
you going to get burned tomorrow night? Anyway? And if you want to
230
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:49.680
get out of the most awful pain
you ever had, do yourself a good
231
00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:56.240
turn. At the same time.
Well, I wonder what it feels like.
232
00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:00.680
George Brown said, it only hurt
for a minute. I had much
233
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:07.440
guts that I remember. Nope,
your account's miller. Wanna tug out?
234
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:14.680

very happy? Do what you were seeing
235
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:22.440

00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:25.279

250
00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:49.160

00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:55.680
here in the dark all along except
for me. Man. Yeah, well,

260
00:27:53.279 --> 00:28:00.599
And just in case you decide to
do what George Brown did the extra
261
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:06.799
piece of rope under the matter,
you won't have to use your belt along.
262
00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:36.000
Well, there you are. That's
your ghost story. You believe in
263
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:45.079
ghosts, now you don't? We
you're you see I took Skins advice.
264
00:28:45.279 --> 00:29:02.920
I hung myself. I'd been dead
six month. All right, you can
265
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.880
turn them on. Now you've just
heard the third in the Summer series of

Gottschalk as Maxie, Stanley Schule as Keeter

to a climax over the Chicago Airport.
272
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:38.480

directed by Albert Cruz. This is NBC,

the National Broadcasting Company. I apologize
it's still a bit nippy in here.
275
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:06.720
I've done the best I could with
the modest amount of wood I have
276
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:11.440
for my fireplace. But that's okay
now, because well, it's time for
277

you to go home to your comfy, cozy, warm bed and the sun
278
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:22.359

course I'll need to return to wherever it

00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.480

now, remember careful getting hold,
enjoy that warm bed, and always always
