dollars and fifty cents.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
Thank you, brothers for this beautiful electric clock. It is
donetrut me.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
I don't know what to say, but I feel sure
that you brothers would like to know my life's history,
taking the right from where I was born up to
the day, year by year. I was born in a
little town in Georgia.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
We lived in the sort.
Speaker 7 (02:09):
Of a mom.
Speaker 8 (02:21):
That was some speech that Andy made last night. I
bet he must have talked for two hours.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Yes he was.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
I tell you I stayed till he was eighteen years
old and I left.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
How long did you stay at Fluca?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Well, I stayed till he was twenty four, and that's
about all I could take.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I wonder how long and it spoke there?
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Well, I tell you that boy really get it carried
away with herself, don't it.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Yeah, you're ready Fluca.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
When I hear handy get wound up and go into
a thing like it done last night.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Sometimes I wonder if this country ain't making a.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
Mistake by having freedom of speech.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Well, the trouble with Andy.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Good morning, gentlemen, good morning.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Hello there brother, and how your sign Flokie? Get out
the way there second with you. I want to plug
this clock in there and set up on my desk.
Oh yeh, then this show is a nice clock. You
boys give me last night for my twenty years Anna reversally.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Ooh yeah, now, Andrew, you gotta spin that little wheel
in the back of it to get us started.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Yeah, well, don't seem to go.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
They'll see if you got it plugged in tight? Yes, yeah,
the plug is in.
Speaker 9 (03:26):
Good.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
M a clock that won't run.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I wonder what she gets if it was only in
the lodge ten years.
Speaker 8 (03:37):
But I can't understand it. That's eight dollars and fifty
cent clock.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
It ought to work.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
Well, I got it plugged in and I done turned
the starter. What else can you do?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Say? Fellows? You know why is a scientist.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I could take it over to my laboratory and smack
it a couple of times with a hammer.
Speaker 8 (03:53):
Hey, wait a minute, I just found this paper in
the box that the clock come in.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
It's a lifetime guarantee. Look, yeah, listen to this.
Speaker 8 (04:01):
Let's say here, this clock guaranteed for life against all
defects due to faulty material or workmanship, and as signed
by the Wilton Clock Company. Come on and take you
over to the store where we bought it, and we'll
show him this guarantee. He gotta give us satisfactory.
Speaker 10 (04:27):
Kingfish, I know you bought the clock here, but it
was the last one I had in the store.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Yeah, but don't you see the clock don't work.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Yeah, and there's a lifetime guarantee that come with the clock.
Speaker 10 (04:36):
Listen, boys, that's the manufacture's guaranteed. And it so happened
that the Wilton Clock Company is right here in New York.
Why don't you take it down after them? You can
get some quick action.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
And that looked like the best thing to do.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Maybe we can get lightning to drive us to the
Wilton Clock Company and name us a tactic here, right.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Let's go.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
This must be the players that say that Wilton Clock
Company up there.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
Yeah, this is it? All right?
Speaker 5 (05:13):
All right, you wait here, Laton, this ain't gonna take long.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Alright as I wait here, Uh hey, this show is
a big plan to god you. Yeah, I must take
a lot of equipment to turn out clocks that don't
run well in there. I think that that soldier can't
be talking to us.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Oh shoo, that's us, that's us. What do you want?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
This is a war plant?
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Oh? Oh well, ain't this the Wilton clock Company?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yes, but it's been converted into a war production of
precision instruments.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
Oh yeah, that's it. Well, you see, missis soldier. The
reason we don't come down here is that I got
a Wilton clock that don't work, and it's got a
lifetime going seon.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Uh uh, come on, and let's get out of here.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
The lifetime guaranteed don't mean much if they're gonna shoot
you on the way in.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Now, let's well, wait a minute, Wait a minute, Kingfish.
Speaker 9 (06:12):
Wait.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
Uh the company must stand back of their clocks here.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
They'll do that.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Uh mister, ain't.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
There nobody in there that I could get satisfaction from.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Well, mister Wilkman is still running the plants. I guess
you could see him.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Yeah, well, thank you, mister.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
We'll be right with your Kingfish.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
We better tell lightning will be a little longer.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Look and uh uh, why don't we take the clock
back to the Harlem store there and exchange it.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
For something else. I don't like the idea of going
into a place where everybody read to shoot at you.
They don't.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Let's shoo that.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
Oh, don't be silly, hey, Lightning. We just want to
tell you that we're gonna be in this place a
little longer than where hunk Way was.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Uh, well, what did you come back, miss Anne?
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Well? Uh, to tell you what I just told you?
Speaker 8 (06:57):
Well, that would see him like a Wednesday time. Wouldn't
it have been quicker if you would have went in
there in the first place instead of coming back here
to tell me that you're gonna be longer than you thunk.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
You was in the first place.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Uh, Lightning. Uh, this place here is a war plant. Now,
I said, well, if.
Speaker 8 (07:18):
You gotta get a clock fixed, then why does.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
He want to go to a war plan?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
We is gonna rob the war plant, Lightning, But don't
tell nobody.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Wouldn't that be designer all Lightning?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Come on, Kingfish, Come on, you know ten years ago
I would afford that Lightning couldn't get no dumber.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
But he doesn't fool me.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
All right, fellas we go right down this walk here,
it's not fire.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Follow me.
Speaker 11 (07:44):
Oh yeah, y'all, yeah, thank you, thank you, Ralph.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I think you've done a want to put job on
this altitude device.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Thank you, mister Wilton.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I think if it's successful, it will be the most
important development of the year in contact aviasion.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
The beauty of it is that can be.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Used in those big B seventeen flying fortresses.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Or on the P thirty eight Lightning.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I think they're going to try it out on the
P thirty eight Lightnings first.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
The principle's very revolutionary too. The secret of the whole instrument,
the actual heart of it. These two little screws right here.
They're made out of that new highly sensitive metal that
we developed right here in the lad well.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
I don't have to caution you about guarding on as
very carefully. Well, I should say not, mister Wilton.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Now these are the only two metal screws of this
type in existence, and this is the only set.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Of plans, So believe me, I'm taking no chances.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Oh did you say that altimeter clock is on the way. Yes,
it should be here in a minute. Oh good, then
I can finish this thing out. I better check with
Benson out front on it. Benson speaking Benson this and
mister Wilton. I'm expecting a couple of men with a
new type altimeter clock for those new pursuit planes. Now
you send them back to my office.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Who's there, yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Oh, by the way, these men are supposed to put
some finishing touches on this alzemeter clock when they get there.
Speaker 9 (09:03):
Oh, then I suppose you want them to put on
couple alls as usual.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Certainly you know our rules.
Speaker 6 (09:07):

Speaker 5 (10:08):
That's right.
Speaker 9 (10:09):
Can't go on the plant for those clothes on?
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Well, uh, you're liable to be a little drafty.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
In there.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Yeah, this is just a clock factory in it. You
ain't running no Turkish bath or nothing on a sie.
Speaker 11 (10:23):
I love it.
Speaker 9 (10:24):
I haven't got time.
Speaker 11 (10:25):
To argue with you.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
Before you can go back on that plant, you've got
to put on coverall, cover all.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Look, Muthera, we don't want to seem big headed about
this thing. But the only reason me is here.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I know why you're here, and you've got to put
on those coveralls.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Uh, just to see mister Wilton.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Huh that's right, you know, Kingfish. The MOI here is
about this, fellow Wilton. The moi Z's why the clockmok run?
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Uh? Uh say mother?
Speaker 3 (10:53):

Speaker 5 (10:53):
When we get all fixed up here, what does we
do and where does it go to find? Mister Wilton?
Speaker 9 (10:58):
You go straight down to end the passageway, turn the
left and it's the first star.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Oh thank you.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Yeah, well we might as well get started. Yeah, get
off my coat.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
You know, suck and Kingfish.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Taking advantage of a lifetime guarantee ain't as easy as
a lot of people think it is.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Well, this is the end of the passage. Wait, he said,
turn the right or.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Left, and uh seemed to me he say left.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
No, no, right, Yeah, that SA's right.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Yeah, he turned down here. Then he say the first door,
Well this is it right there?
Speaker 6 (11:43):
Hm, ain't nobody here?
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Well we just better wait around. Uh must work most
likely be back in a second. Just don't look like.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
Much of a office. Look more like a work room. Hey, say,
I could use them things right there? Oh what's that
in those two little screws there? Yeah, the looking glass
in my bathroom was coming loose.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Oh go ahead, then, uh take 'em if you can
use 'em. They don't want 'em.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Yeah, they ain't got no use for 'em. I think
this size here is ten for a nickel in the
dime store.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Yah, slipping in your pocket there. They must have millions
of 'em. They. I was just thinking, Uh, we liable
to be in here a little while.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Yet the who uh we changes our croths and gets
out of here. Maybe we better send Lightning a note
and tell them what we're doing so we won't get
jumping out there.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
Yeah, that's right, let's ride him a note. We can
get somebody to take it out to him.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Yeah, here's a pencil here, because I use uh this
piece of paper here.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, ain't there something on
that paper, king fish, or just a.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Bunch of lines. Look like some guy been doodling with
the pencils that are doing his work. One side is blue,
and oh it's right on the back.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
I'll right on the back of it. Yeah, I'll stay here, Lightning.
Speaker 11 (12:56):
What are you men doing here?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
You know these men around.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
No, but I know they have no business in this laboratory.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
When you see, mister, what are you doing with those plans?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Card?
Speaker 5 (13:05):

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Screws are missing too.
Speaker 6 (13:07):

Watch them.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I want to go through their pockets.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Oh look, mother, we are doing nothing. That the reason
we come down here.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Here are the screws.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
They were in his pocket.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
It's lucky we got back in time. We'd been a minute.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Later, both the plans and the screws would have been gone.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
And look what they've got written on the back of.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
These plans, Lightnings.
Speaker 2 (13:31):

This fellow they call Lightning man we thought was a plane.
Speaker 14 (19:13):
And you are friends of Brown and Stevens.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Is that right?
Speaker 8 (19:16):
Yes, they tell you the truth. They are our best friends, mister.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yes, we've known them for many years.

scrape now and then, like anybody liable to do.

In other words, you men all feel positive that Stevens
and Brown would do nothing against the law.

If I was paying in it?
Speaker 8 (26:35):
And what did you write to President Roosevelt?
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Where you see all this happen because the clock didn't
work in the first place. So I read him to
the order to see that the clock companies make good
clocks with good wire in them, and good cogwill and
good everything else.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Oh I don't think the order done that?
Speaker 6 (26:53):
And well why not?
Speaker 4 (26:55):

Speaker 6 (26:59):
A lot of trouble. I oh, wait a minute, come
in Enlightning. What do they say, Lightning, Well, no, bandy.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
I took the clock over to the electric company and

he didn't.
Speaker 3 (01:06):

We present you, as a token of our steam, this
brand new januine electric clock, which set us back eight
dollars and fifty cents.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
Thank you, brothers for this beautiful electric clock. It is
donetrut me.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
I don't know what to say, but I feel sure
that you brothers would like to know my life's history,
taking the right from where I was born up to
the day, year by year. I was born in a
little town in Georgia.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
We lived in the sort.
Speaker 7 (02:09):
Of a mom.
Speaker 8 (02:21):
That was some speech that Andy made last night. I
bet he must have talked for two hours.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Yes he was.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
I tell you I stayed till he was eighteen years
old and I left.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
How long did you stay at Fluca?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Well, I stayed till he was twenty four, and that's
about all I could take.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I wonder how long and it spoke there?
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Well, I tell you that boy really get it carried
away with herself, don't it.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Yeah, you're ready Fluca.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
When I hear handy get wound up and go into
a thing like it done last night.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Sometimes I wonder if this country ain't making a.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
Mistake by having freedom of speech.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Well, the trouble with Andy.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Good morning, gentlemen, good morning.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Hello there brother, and how your sign Flokie? Get out
the way there second with you. I want to plug
this clock in there and set up on my desk.
Oh yeh, then this show is a nice clock. You
boys give me last night for my twenty years Anna reversally.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Ooh yeah, now, Andrew, you gotta spin that little wheel
in the back of it to get us started.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Yeah, well, don't seem to go.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
They'll see if you got it plugged in tight? Yes, yeah,
the plug is in.
Speaker 9 (03:26):
Good.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
M a clock that won't run.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I wonder what she gets if it was only in
the lodge ten years.
Speaker 8 (03:37):
But I can't understand it. That's eight dollars and fifty
cent clock.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
It ought to work.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
Well, I got it plugged in and I done turned
the starter. What else can you do?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Say? Fellows? You know why is a scientist.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I could take it over to my laboratory and smack
it a couple of times with a hammer.
Speaker 8 (03:53):
Hey, wait a minute, I just found this paper in
the box that the clock come in.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
It's a lifetime guarantee. Look, yeah, listen to this.
Speaker 8 (04:01):
Let's say here, this clock guaranteed for life against all
defects due to faulty material or workmanship, and as signed
by the Wilton Clock Company. Come on and take you
over to the store where we bought it, and we'll
show him this guarantee. He gotta give us satisfactory.
Speaker 10 (04:27):
Kingfish, I know you bought the clock here, but it
was the last one I had in the store.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Yeah, but don't you see the clock don't work.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Yeah, and there's a lifetime guarantee that come with the clock.
Speaker 10 (04:36):
Listen, boys, that's the manufacture's guaranteed. And it so happened
that the Wilton Clock Company is right here in New York.
Why don't you take it down after them? You can
get some quick action.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
And that looked like the best thing to do.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Maybe we can get lightning to drive us to the
Wilton Clock Company and name us a tactic here, right.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Let's go.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
This must be the players that say that Wilton Clock
Company up there.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
Yeah, this is it? All right?
Speaker 5 (05:13):
All right, you wait here, Laton, this ain't gonna take long.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Alright as I wait here, Uh hey, this show is
a big plan to god you. Yeah, I must take
a lot of equipment to turn out clocks that don't
run well in there. I think that that soldier can't
be talking to us.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Oh shoo, that's us, that's us. What do you want?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
This is a war plant?
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Oh? Oh well, ain't this the Wilton clock Company?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yes, but it's been converted into a war production of
precision instruments.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
Oh yeah, that's it. Well, you see, missis soldier. The
reason we don't come down here is that I got
a Wilton clock that don't work, and it's got a
lifetime going seon.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Uh uh, come on, and let's get out of here.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
The lifetime guaranteed don't mean much if they're gonna shoot
you on the way in.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Now, let's well, wait a minute, Wait a minute, Kingfish.
Speaker 9 (06:12):
Wait.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
Uh the company must stand back of their clocks here.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
They'll do that.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Uh mister, ain't.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
There nobody in there that I could get satisfaction from.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Well, mister Wilkman is still running the plants. I guess
you could see him.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Yeah, well, thank you, mister.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
We'll be right with your Kingfish.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
We better tell lightning will be a little longer.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Look and uh uh, why don't we take the clock
back to the Harlem store there and exchange it.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
For something else. I don't like the idea of going
into a place where everybody read to shoot at you.
They don't.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Let's shoo that.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
Oh, don't be silly, hey, Lightning. We just want to
tell you that we're gonna be in this place a
little longer than where hunk Way was.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Uh, well, what did you come back, miss Anne?
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Well? Uh, to tell you what I just told you?
Speaker 8 (06:57):
Well, that would see him like a Wednesday time. Wouldn't
it have been quicker if you would have went in
there in the first place instead of coming back here
to tell me that you're gonna be longer than you thunk.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
You was in the first place.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Uh, Lightning. Uh, this place here is a war plant. Now,
I said, well, if.
Speaker 8 (07:18):
You gotta get a clock fixed, then why does.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
He want to go to a war plan?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
We is gonna rob the war plant, Lightning, But don't
tell nobody.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Wouldn't that be designer all Lightning?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Come on, Kingfish, Come on, you know ten years ago
I would afford that Lightning couldn't get no dumber.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
But he doesn't fool me.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
All right, fellas we go right down this walk here,
it's not fire.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Follow me.
Speaker 11 (07:44):
Oh yeah, y'all, yeah, thank you, thank you, Ralph.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I think you've done a want to put job on
this altitude device.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Thank you, mister Wilton.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I think if it's successful, it will be the most
important development of the year in contact aviasion.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
The beauty of it is that can be.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Used in those big B seventeen flying fortresses.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Or on the P thirty eight Lightning.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I think they're going to try it out on the
P thirty eight Lightnings first.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
The principle's very revolutionary too. The secret of the whole instrument,
the actual heart of it. These two little screws right here.
They're made out of that new highly sensitive metal that
we developed right here in the lad well.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
I don't have to caution you about guarding on as
very carefully. Well, I should say not, mister Wilton.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Now these are the only two metal screws of this
type in existence, and this is the only set.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Of plans, So believe me, I'm taking no chances.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Oh did you say that altimeter clock is on the way. Yes,
it should be here in a minute. Oh good, then
I can finish this thing out. I better check with
Benson out front on it. Benson speaking Benson this and
mister Wilton. I'm expecting a couple of men with a
new type altimeter clock for those new pursuit planes. Now
you send them back to my office.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Who's there, yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Oh, by the way, these men are supposed to put
some finishing touches on this alzemeter clock when they get there.
Speaker 9 (09:03):
Oh, then I suppose you want them to put on
couple alls as usual.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Certainly you know our rules.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Yes, mister Wilton, good right, we'll see Ralph.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Come down to my office for a minute. I'll show
you are new assignment.

Uh excuse me for protruding, but uh did you say
something about.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
Taking off your clothes?
Speaker 5 (10:08):
That's right.
Speaker 9 (10:09):
Can't go on the plant for those clothes on?
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Well, uh, you're liable to be a little drafty.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
In there.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Yeah, this is just a clock factory in it. You
ain't running no Turkish bath or nothing on a sie.
Speaker 11 (10:23):
I love it.
Speaker 9 (10:24):
I haven't got time.
Speaker 11 (10:25):
To argue with you.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
Before you can go back on that plant, you've got
to put on coverall, cover all.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Look, Muthera, we don't want to seem big headed about
this thing. But the only reason me is here.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I know why you're here, and you've got to put
on those coveralls.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Uh, just to see mister Wilton.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Huh that's right, you know, Kingfish. The MOI here is
about this, fellow Wilton. The moi Z's why the clockmok run?
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Uh? Uh say mother?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (10:53):
When we get all fixed up here, what does we
do and where does it go to find? Mister Wilton?
Speaker 9 (10:58):
You go straight down to end the passageway, turn the
left and it's the first star.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Oh thank you.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Yeah, well we might as well get started. Yeah, get
off my coat.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
You know, suck and Kingfish.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Taking advantage of a lifetime guarantee ain't as easy as
a lot of people think it is.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Well, this is the end of the passage. Wait, he said,
turn the right or.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Left, and uh seemed to me he say left.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
No, no, right, Yeah, that SA's right.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Yeah, he turned down here. Then he say the first door,
Well this is it right there?
Speaker 6 (11:43):
Hm, ain't nobody here?
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Well we just better wait around. Uh must work most
likely be back in a second. Just don't look like.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
Much of a office. Look more like a work room. Hey, say,
I could use them things right there? Oh what's that
in those two little screws there? Yeah, the looking glass
in my bathroom was coming loose.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Oh go ahead, then, uh take 'em if you can
use 'em. They don't want 'em.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Yeah, they ain't got no use for 'em. I think
this size here is ten for a nickel in the
dime store.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Yah, slipping in your pocket there. They must have millions
of 'em. They. I was just thinking, Uh, we liable
to be in here a little while.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Yet the who uh we changes our croths and gets
out of here. Maybe we better send Lightning a note
and tell them what we're doing so we won't get
jumping out there.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
Yeah, that's right, let's ride him a note. We can
get somebody to take it out to him.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Yeah, here's a pencil here, because I use uh this
piece of paper here.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, ain't there something on
that paper, king fish, or just a.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Bunch of lines. Look like some guy been doodling with
the pencils that are doing his work. One side is blue,
and oh it's right on the back.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
I'll right on the back of it. Yeah, I'll stay here, Lightning.
Speaker 11 (12:56):
What are you men doing here?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
You know these men around.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
No, but I know they have no business in this laboratory.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
When you see, mister, what are you doing with those plans?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Card?
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Card?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Screws are missing too.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
But listen, mister, the only reason we come down here
is this you.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
