Speaker 2 (01:43):
What's wrong with helping people starvation?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I don't get paid no cream in my farina. I'll
tell you what I'll owe you your expenses. The road
to hunger is paid with bad debts.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Sure? Dollars?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I haven't got it?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Well, uncle, real estate, then they'll take that for bill.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I've only got a cemetery plot.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yes, no, wait, you're a citizen in good standing.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Opinions divided on that?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Well, judge for Ghanzi. He'll let me out. On your
your ay, what's the word I'm trying for recognizance?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
You sure got a cheek?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I got troubles, I share them. I'm not proud.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
What's the charge against you, so third degree hardly nothing
hold your hit.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Randy Lomac's the talent age. You might have heard him,
everybody had. He's been promoting my girl, feeding a baloney
about how it's gonna make her a big star. I
lost my head. I hit him what with a brick,
But that's between us in court. I'm denying it.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
MAXI had an appeal from me. He was pure damon rugging.
I arranged his freedom on my recognizance. When that was done,
I bought him a hamburger and coffee.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Hey, reach me to relish once more.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Uh, you've just about demolished the job.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
There's vitamins in relish besides just on the house. Relish
Er Man, you're sure a friend, and you are such
a leech. Sadie, my girl, Sadie Sachs. We've been keeping
company for six years to long engagement, but Sadie likes
long engagements. We had plans or two of us raised
(04:00):
rabbits and grapes, and as we got two grand saved.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Two grand saved to buy.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
A certain going business over in Jersey. Sady and me,
the two of us, we worked in the Blue City Distillery.
In the distillery bottle washers, both of us. I made sixty,
City made forty. Anyhow, everything was hunky dory.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Until Randy Lomax came along.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, one fine day to rap. He saw Sadie in
the Funhouse at Atlantic City, followed her around to the
ferris wheel in the Wax Museum.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Couldn't let Sadie out of his sight.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
She had million dollar legs. He kept writing that down,
passing notes to her, all this behind.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
My back, Please continue, you try and stop me.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Then Sadie wrote out a telephone number and passed the tomb.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Still behind your back.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Oh, I had a couple of beers. I was blind. Anyhow,
they met next day and Lomac's sold Sadi a bill
of goods. Would she be a model, and did she
have theatrical ambition.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
To which Sadie's said, yay, brother.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Well what girl, I conceded. That's the story. Anyhow, Sadie
signed up with Lomax. She'd give her a new name,
Paula Paloma from a dirty blonde. He made her jet
black so he could pass her off as Spanish. What
her name Paula Paloma?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Which brings us to your fight with Lomax?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
He told Sadie to give me the brush. I was
wrong for the future. I was a slav and she
was now imported stuff the rest I told you. I
met Lomax, I beat them, I got locked up.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I bailed you out.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Now you go see Lomax and get him to drop
the charges. He't know. Wait a minute, wait till I
write something. Mob Okay, it's writ here. A note read s,
Nio you I don't want you doing too much for nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Collonas and Randy Lomax looked like his black Hamberg. He
had drunk out of his skull. He was wearing it
when I called on it. And what made that so remarkable?
The guy was in his pajamas, all right.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
I withdraw the assault charge against Maxie Potter on one condition.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Name it.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
MAXI jumps off a high building. You want him dead,
dead or far far away. Craig, tell you what what
MAXI settles down in the congo permanently. He signs a
stipulation to the fact that it is permanent. Otherwise I'll
prosecute him to the limit.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Such seething hatred for Maxi.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Why he's a pest, a menace, a loud mouth, a
jerk and lunatic.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
You cost him a girl he was planning to marry.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
That's Maxi's hallucination. You go ask Paula Paloma her point
of view on Maxi Helius.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Paula Paloma, she's Sadie Sachs.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Look forget the name Sadie Sachs.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Oh, the public.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
We spend thousands advertising the name Paula Paloma.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Paloma from Madrid, Spain.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
That's her origin. Her mother was a royal countess. Her
father was a fabulous industrialist.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Her boyfriend was Maxi Potter of Jersey City.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
You deliberately trying to aggravate me.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I came here representing Maxi.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Maxi. Yeah, let me show you the type of character
you got for a client. I had a private detective
draw me a diagram of Maxi, a report Maxie's background,
where he came from. While he gets in my hair,
how come one man can be so crazy? Yeah, cast
and I over this line on a two page report.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
M nineteen forty nine. The Inward Home six months.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Yeah, the Inward Home is a sanitarium in Ohio. Maxi's
punch drunk Craig on my advice, dump Maxie in the
North River.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Besides crowning here with a milk bottle in an impetuous moment?
What are the specific grievance have you against? MAXI?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
He insults me on the streets, language that makes my
spine crawl. He hires children to throw garbage at me
when I pass and look in a public restaurant in
front of one hundred show people, show people my bread
and buttermind you Max? He pours a plate of soup
on my head.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
What kind of soup?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Noodle? Soup limp noodles hanging from my brow like excelsior
on a Christmas tree? Have I got specific grievance? It's
not all so comical. I'm made ridiculous, but I'm also
in mortal danger. How's that threats to kill me?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Threats? And what form?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
The cowardly form only punchy Max could use?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Here are these cartridges?
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Low caliber, low high medium.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
They mean murder.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
I find them everywhere, on my office desk, on the
dining table. They come in the mail, a bullet to
a letter, Craig. I'm being hounded in the field of insanity.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Why do you only suspect MAXI? I got reasons. Let
me hear it all right?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
These cartridges. They've been identified for me as belonging to
MAXI identified my home Paula Paloma, Sadi Sex Craig. Again,
I beg you please forget a rather name.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I checked Maxi's medical condition with Paula Paloma? Was he
ever actually confined to a sanitarium.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
In the time we were going together? Twice?
Speaker 1 (09:41):
I see you identified certain cottridges Lomax told you Lomax did.
Why do you say they were Maxis?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Because I saw the identical ones in Maxi's room at
least fifty times. He kept them in a candy jar
on his mantelpiece.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Why would Maxi keep cartridges in the can? Indie John
ask Maxie? Why could Maxi kill Lomax?
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Anybody could kill anybody. It's a free country.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Haven't you heard name somebody besides Maxi who has it
in for Lomax? Daisy? Who's Daisy?
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Lomax's wife used to be. I mean, there's a saying,
there's no fury er, no fury.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Like a woman's scorn.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
That's Daisy, a woman's scorn. She'd kill Lomax in a flash.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Other enemies of the great Man people.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
A man with lomax Is lust for power must make
enemies of the little people.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
How do you feel about Lomax?
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I worship the ground. He's my good angel, my hero.
He took me out of a forty dollar job as bottle.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Washer and made you the toast of New York.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
In one short year. I've got furs, a French maid,
a Belgian wolf found on a bank account.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
HM.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Love that, Lomax.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Why don't you tell Maxie you were never serious with him?
So he stopped having delusions and stop bothering Lomax.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Stop bothering Lomax, and stop bothering me. Better he should
bother Lomax. Lomax can take it. I can't positively not.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That evening. My client, Maxie made no bones about being
a little on the weird side.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Sure I'm spooky, I ever say.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I wasn't, No, not in so many words.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Why you're looking shocked, Greg.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Well, the fact is I had you characterized his whimsical
sort of a colorful.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Screwball, So now you're no different?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
So you uh, ever, get really violent?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
MAXI ever so often the other day I bit the
ear off on the dog. Why the mutt was annoying
me jumping on and off my lap? So I couldn't
read the racing for him? Was I justified?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Uh uh, Maxie what? I don't want to be a
fair with a friend.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
But hey, you're not edging up to ask me to
go back to the tombs.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Well, I'm the loose like this. I'm responsible for you.
So I ain't to him, are you?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I am.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
How about the cottages you keep on boding Lomax with?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Oh you know about them? Huh?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I know about them.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I'll quit doing it, okay, I don't need to be
doing it anymore anyhow.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Well?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I did to scale Lomax, but Lomax won't scare anymore,
not the way he is, the way he is.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
But what does that mean?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
It means I had a dream just before, right after lunch,
I dropped off first news, you know, a few fast wings. Anyhow,
I had a dream about Lomax. I always dream after
Postromian girkins cookings is what they call pickles?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah? Or what did you dream about Lomax?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
That he was sleeping like me? Only he wasn't dreaming,
couldn't dream even if he wanted to, not with all
that lead in him.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You dream Lomax was dead? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
In his parlor, his head on the floor and his
feet up on the sofa, an upside down position, a
comical look to him. Hey, where you going telephone?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Lomax? I want to know if you were only dreaming?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Client, you're wasting time, Craig, how gonna stiff? Get up
down to the telephone.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Maxie, got your hat. We're both paying Lomax to call
sure O. Hey on the way, let's stop off at
the florist.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Huh. I want to blow ten bucks on a wreath
for Lomax.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
I soon discovered that Maxi had uncanny powers of prophecy
and divination.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Get off the buzzer, Lomax, can't hear it? Doors locked,
give it your shoulder.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I'll have to. I guess there's.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Some light on the subject. Huh, Well, is it like
I dreamed?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah, only there's a discrepancy. What you set feet on
the sofa and head off? Yeah, I said, all of
loma axes on the floor.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Hey, what do you expect from a dream? One hundred
percent accuracy?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Uh? Huh?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Shut through the neck and down there in the ribs.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Maxi, did you do it? I wished I had You
may wish you hadn't I was asleep in the room.
I told you dreaming.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Hey, you're gonna cause trouble for me.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I should have my head examined for bailing you out
of the tombs.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Do that, why don't you. I'm for examining the heads,
white teeth. Why is the head any different than their tooth?

Everything was going good.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
And now I've finished. So is Lomax finished through?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I'll be back washing bottles. I knew in my heart
my good luck was too good to last.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Womax's death doesn't necessarily put the kaibash on your career.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Lomax was my career. I'm his invention, his creation.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Without him, I'm nobody. Boy. Consider what the man did
for me.

Do I remember your saying she had an in for him.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
She hated him.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Everybody on Broadway knows that? Or off Broadway? Where can
I find Daisy?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Stand on any corner in Hollis, She'll come running. Look,
I want to cry myself to death, So stop asking
me questions and go away. Huh

Maxi. Yeah, let me show you the type of character
you got for a client. I had a private detective
draw me a diagram of Maxi, a report Maxie's background,
where he came from. While he gets in my hair,
how come one man can be so crazy? Yeah, cast
and I over this line on a two page report.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
M nineteen forty nine. The Inward Home six months.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Yeah, the Inward Home is a sanitarium in Ohio. Maxi's
punch drunk Craig on my advice, dump Maxie in the
North River.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Besides crowning here with a milk bottle in an impetuous moment?
What are the specific grievance have you against? MAXI?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
He insults me on the streets, language that makes my
spine crawl. He hires children to throw garbage at me
when I pass and look in a public restaurant in
front of one hundred show people, show people my bread
and buttermind you Max? He pours a plate of soup
on my head.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
What kind of soup?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Noodle? Soup limp noodles hanging from my brow like excelsior
on a Christmas tree? Have I got specific grievance? It's
not all so comical. I'm made ridiculous, but I'm also
in mortal danger. How's that threats to kill me?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Threats? And what form?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
The cowardly form only punchy Max could use?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Here are these cartridges?
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Low caliber, low high medium.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
They mean murder.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
I find them everywhere, on my office desk, on the
dining table. They come in the mail, a bullet to
a letter, Craig. I'm being hounded in the field of insanity.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Why do you only suspect MAXI? I got reasons. Let
me hear it all right?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
These cartridges. They've been identified for me as belonging to
MAXI identified my home Paula Paloma, Sadi Sex Craig. Again,
I beg you please forget a rather name.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I checked Maxi's medical condition with Paula Paloma? Was he
ever actually confined to a sanitarium.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
In the time we were going together? Twice?
Speaker 1 (09:41):
I see you identified certain cottridges Lomax told you Lomax did.
Why do you say they were Maxis?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Because I saw the identical ones in Maxi's room at
least fifty times. He kept them in a candy jar
on his mantelpiece.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Why would Maxi keep cartridges in the can? Indie John
ask Maxie? Why could Maxi kill Lomax?
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Anybody could kill anybody. It's a free country.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Haven't you heard name somebody besides Maxi who has it
in for Lomax? Daisy? Who's Daisy?
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Lomax's wife used to be. I mean, there's a saying,
there's no fury er, no fury.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Like a woman's scorn.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
That's Daisy, a woman's scorn. She'd kill Lomax in a flash.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Other enemies of the great Man people.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
A man with lomax Is lust for power must make
enemies of the little people.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
How do you feel about Lomax?
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I worship the ground. He's my good angel, my hero.
He took me out of a forty dollar job as bottle.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Washer and made you the toast of New York.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
In one short year. I've got furs, a French maid,
a Belgian wolf found on a bank account.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
HM.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Love that, Lomax.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Why don't you tell Maxie you were never serious with him?
So he stopped having delusions and stop bothering Lomax.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Stop bothering Lomax, and stop bothering me. Better he should
bother Lomax. Lomax can take it. I can't positively not.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That evening. My client, Maxie made no bones about being
a little on the weird side.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Sure I'm spooky, I ever say.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I wasn't, No, not in so many words.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Why you're looking shocked, Greg.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Well, the fact is I had you characterized his whimsical
sort of a colorful.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Screwball, So now you're no different?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
So you uh, ever, get really violent?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
MAXI ever so often the other day I bit the
ear off on the dog. Why the mutt was annoying
me jumping on and off my lap? So I couldn't
read the racing for him? Was I justified?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Uh uh, Maxie what? I don't want to be a
fair with a friend.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
But hey, you're not edging up to ask me to
go back to the tombs.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Well, I'm the loose like this. I'm responsible for you.
So I ain't to him, are you?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I am.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
How about the cottages you keep on boding Lomax with?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Oh you know about them? Huh?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I know about them.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I'll quit doing it, okay, I don't need to be
doing it anymore anyhow.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Well?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I did to scale Lomax, but Lomax won't scare anymore,
not the way he is, the way he is.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
But what does that mean?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
It means I had a dream just before, right after lunch,
I dropped off first news, you know, a few fast wings. Anyhow,
I had a dream about Lomax. I always dream after
Postromian girkins cookings is what they call pickles?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah? Or what did you dream about Lomax?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
That he was sleeping like me? Only he wasn't dreaming,
couldn't dream even if he wanted to, not with all
that lead in him.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You dream Lomax was dead? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
In his parlor, his head on the floor and his
feet up on the sofa, an upside down position, a
comical look to him. Hey, where you going telephone?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Lomax? I want to know if you were only dreaming?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Client, you're wasting time, Craig, how gonna stiff? Get up
down to the telephone.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Maxie, got your hat. We're both paying Lomax to call
sure O. Hey on the way, let's stop off at
the florist.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Huh. I want to blow ten bucks on a wreath
for Lomax.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
I soon discovered that Maxi had uncanny powers of prophecy
and divination.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Get off the buzzer, Lomax, can't hear it? Doors locked,
give it your shoulder.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I'll have to. I guess there's.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Some light on the subject. Huh, Well, is it like
I dreamed?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah, only there's a discrepancy. What you set feet on
the sofa and head off? Yeah, I said, all of
loma axes on the floor.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Hey, what do you expect from a dream? One hundred
percent accuracy?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Uh? Huh?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Shut through the neck and down there in the ribs.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Maxi, did you do it? I wished I had You
may wish you hadn't I was asleep in the room.
I told you dreaming.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Hey, you're gonna cause trouble for me.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I should have my head examined for bailing you out
of the tombs.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Do that, why don't you. I'm for examining the heads,
white teeth. Why is the head any different than their tooth?

Everything was going good.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
And now I've finished. So is Lomax finished through?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I'll be back washing bottles. I knew in my heart
my good luck was too good to last.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Womax's death doesn't necessarily put the kaibash on your career.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Lomax was my career. I'm his invention, his creation.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Without him, I'm nobody. Boy. Consider what the man did
for me.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I've seen the billboards.

an engine.

Do I remember your saying she had an in for him.

me questions and go away. Huh
