Arch Obler's Lights Out. Everybody, it is.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Later then.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
You thing.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
This is arch Obler bringing you another in our series
of stories of the unusual.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
And once again we caution you.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
These lights out stories are definitely not for the timid soul.
So we tell you calmly and very sincerely, if you
fright me, easily turn off your radio.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Now listen to me.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
Now, a few light years and generations ago, as I
introduced to a very patient lights out audience, my Peach
Weird play special to Hollywood. Most of you have heard
(01:10):
of the new style Hollywood premiere, where airplanes full of
Hollywood celebrities fly to some town for the first showing
of their new picture.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
The stars in the movie are displayed in a furious
burst of glory, and then they rush back to Hollywood
again to start their next super epic. Well tonight, let's
tell you about the road back from one of these
premier excursions, in this particular case, a most unusual road.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
The scene a transport airplane moving through the sky at
high speed.
Speaker 7 (01:46):
A very pompous looking individual stands talking to the pilot.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Now, look here, pilot, can't you make this thing go faster? Sorry?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
What you say?
Speaker 6 (02:04):
Take those infernal earphones or whatever they are, off your
head and listen to me. I said, can't you make
this thing go faster?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
One hundred and fifty miles an hour isn't exactly walking, mister, Now,
don't get impertinent.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
I charted this special plane for speed. You understand speed,
not to just go dardling along through air.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I'll tell him about it when he comes in.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Now, now, look here, do you realize who you're talking
to him?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Dear mister.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I'll be the first to admit you're a big shot.
But when you're bucking a fifty mile wind and still
making one hundred and fifty miles an hour, believe me,
that's pretty good. Why you now, why don't you go
back in the cabin and sit down and enjoy yourself
like a good fellow. No, not, look here.
Speaker 8 (02:37):
You can't tell me what to do.
Speaker 9 (02:39):
You can't.
Speaker 3 (02:42):

But I got funny thoughts in my head. What a
minute ago I was thinking about when I was a kid.
Wanna hear about when I was a kid?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Why not?
Speaker 12 (16:33):
Bob here and all the rest of the publicity guys
have wrote written so much junk about me being the
only daughter of you know, poor but respectable small town people.
I almost got to thinking.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It was true.
Speaker 9 (16:48):
Yeah, would you believe it?
Speaker 12 (16:50):
I paid some wise guy over on Sunset Boulevard a
thousand bucks for a coat of arms of the family
to hang up in the hall. You know, one of
those fancy shields of lines crawling all over things. Should
have had a couple of beer bottles.
Speaker 13 (17:03):
I don't did a line.
Speaker 12 (17:06):
Yeah, you wanna know my real name?
Speaker 13 (17:09):
See what's the difference? Beer bottles.
Speaker 10 (17:14):
Yeah, beer bottles and the smell of the laundry coming
up the air shaft and a lot of dirts.
Speaker 12 (17:20):
That's what I remember from when I was a kid.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Sam.
Speaker 12 (17:26):
Yeah, I just wanted to hear you talk.
Speaker 13 (17:31):
Oh what was I talking about?
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (17:33):
Yeah, I was thinking something funny about when I was
a kid. When it was hot at night, I used
to lie on my back on the roof, look at
the clouds and make off. I was just sort of
hanging in the air.
Speaker 13 (17:47):
Understand, I want that funny now.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Gravity? What dices?
Speaker 8 (17:57):
You said?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Gravity? Why? I was thinking what gravity is pulling us down? Well,
I was thinking of what's pulling us up?
Speaker 12 (18:09):
There aren't any answers, no, no, no answer. When I
was that kid, I found answers. Yeah, how to get along,
how to get out.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Of the smell and the dirt.
Speaker 12 (18:23):
Real answers.
Speaker 13 (18:25):
They took me along way.
Speaker 12 (18:27):
Five thousand a week, five year contract, no options. I
did alright with my answers. Here is one answer. I
haven't gone cause there isn't any answer.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Maybe there is.
Speaker 13 (18:40):
Yeah, yeah, you listen to me.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Supposing I listen to you, I don't know how to talk.
Oh you just go ahead for a whole hour I've
been trying to figure things out, so there is any
real answer, hm, I mean that Dad's up like a
column of figures on a slide room when you're trying
to figure out the stress on a wing. Nothing like that.
(19:06):
But kind of screwy ideas come to me. Ah, I
talk about it, go on and just a bozo. Ever
since I've been able to stand on my own feet,
everything's kind to be able to add up, or it
just doesn't mean anything to me. When I was a kid, well, well,
when I was a kid, I really had the well,
(19:27):
like you said, the poor but respectable parents, you know,
the kind they believe in somebody up there and somebody
down below, and good and eve 'em, all the rest
of 'em. Funny you thinking about when you were a kid,
and me thinking the same.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Thing you said.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
You had to answer. Yeah, it's like this. I heard
the three of you talking all the way from the
coast to Chicago, and I'll back again, talking about nothing
but yourselves, each one of you, nothing meanly, anything but yourselves.
You would like this up here. I know I wouldn't
be able to say this, but oh why not say it?
Speaker 6 (20:02):
You?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
You making more money in a week than the average
guy with the family sweats out his insides for on
a year. But instead of the money making me understand anything,
it's made you understand less than a blind.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Kid walking in the dark.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Everything's for you. The world's just a big movie screen.
Everybody in it just there to sit up and look
at you. Yeah. I heard somebody wrote a book. You
bought it, made a picture out of it. Maybe it
was an honest book, but you didn't buy it to
be honest. You bought it to make dough. So the
kid blew his brains out. Even dead, he couldn't get
(20:35):
away from you. Yeah, you're gonna use his dead body
to make you more money. Yeah, dead or alive, nothing
means anything to you. There's no world, but you're a
screely world. Everybody all over the world can crawl on
the ground hiding from bombs, can be starved and watch
their kids starve and die on bobed wire fighting for
something they don't know much about, and drowning the sea.
And it don't mean anything to you, none of it,
(20:56):
as long as each of you can hold on to
what you've got. Yeah, the three of you acting as
if you weren't made of the same flesh and blood
as the rest of us. Is making a lot of
money and seeing your name in the paper a lot
and getting a lot of applause to get right off
the earth. Maybe something somebody decided you weren't fifth of
the earth. You cry, you asked me. I told you.
Speaker 13 (21:33):
I was in a picture one the girl got in
a jam.
Speaker 14 (21:38):
She didn't know how to pray with you.
Speaker 13 (21:44):
Well, that was in the picture.
Speaker 14 (21:46):
It is really yeah, if anybody told me a couple
of hours ago that all with Mark's sitting there out
of his head, Bob me sitting here listening.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
To the kind of thing you asked me to.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
You tone, it was a long.
Speaker 12 (22:11):
About that kid who died.
Speaker 13 (22:14):
I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 14 (22:17):
Even thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
The engine.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
We've gotta.
Speaker 9 (22:32):
Wake up you hear. Everything's all right, all.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
Right, I know my publicity seems like this isn't good
a span.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
I'm not arguing with you, alright.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
Spread a screwy thing like this, he'll be reporting the
country behold in his nose, some screwy it's for heaven's sake. Well,
just stopped talking about it for the last hour. My
head's starting to go around it's forgotten, he finished.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
So whatever it was, we'll forget from the way.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
From that pilot.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
You talked to him, sure, I'm sure he won't talk.
He wants to eat, don't he, So he won't talk.
Speaker 9 (23:20):
Got everything fixed?
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Huh, well, Framadonna's talking again. Ah, now, Lona, you understand,
nobody's gonna know about this. Like like Bob says, crazy
publicity is bad publicity, and.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
This all was crazy was I'll say, hey, look we're
over the airport. Good, good drink? Do I need a drink?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Bath?
Speaker 8 (23:43):
Well, I'm gonna swim.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
I'm a terrible experience, terrible, but all's well.
Speaker 6 (23:47):
That ends well, Elona, a terrible experience, but now finished.
Everything's just the same, Helona, everything's just the same.
Speaker 13 (23:55):
I wonder.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
MC nineteen coming in, MC nineteen, coming in, Hello John,
Yeah I had a little trouble. Wow fact yeah, engine trouble. Yeah,

Speaker 2 (00:15):

Speaker 3 (00:19):
You thing.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
This is arch Obler bringing you another in our series
of stories of the unusual.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
And once again we caution you.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
These lights out stories are definitely not for the timid soul.
So we tell you calmly and very sincerely, if you
fright me, easily turn off your radio.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Now listen to me.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
Now, a few light years and generations ago, as I
introduced to a very patient lights out audience, my Peach
Weird play special to Hollywood. Most of you have heard
(01:10):
of the new style Hollywood premiere, where airplanes full of
Hollywood celebrities fly to some town for the first showing
of their new picture.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
The stars in the movie are displayed in a furious
burst of glory, and then they rush back to Hollywood
again to start their next super epic. Well tonight, let's
tell you about the road back from one of these
premier excursions, in this particular case, a most unusual road.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
The scene a transport airplane moving through the sky at
high speed.
Speaker 7 (01:46):
A very pompous looking individual stands talking to the pilot.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Now, look here, pilot, can't you make this thing go faster? Sorry?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
What you say?
Speaker 6 (02:04):
Take those infernal earphones or whatever they are, off your
head and listen to me. I said, can't you make
this thing go faster?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
One hundred and fifty miles an hour isn't exactly walking, mister, Now,
don't get impertinent.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
I charted this special plane for speed. You understand speed,
not to just go dardling along through air.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I'll tell him about it when he comes in.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Now, now, look here, do you realize who you're talking
to him?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Dear mister.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I'll be the first to admit you're a big shot.
But when you're bucking a fifty mile wind and still
making one hundred and fifty miles an hour, believe me,
that's pretty good. Why you now, why don't you go
back in the cabin and sit down and enjoy yourself
like a good fellow. No, not, look here.
Speaker 8 (02:37):
You can't tell me what to do.
Speaker 9 (02:39):
You can't.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Coming, darling, coming a.

Instead of looking down your noses, you two ought to

Speaker 13 (06:49):
All right?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Then what oh Bob, you tell him? It's terrific? Mark,
don't you get it?
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Huh?
Speaker 8 (06:54):
So we had the premiere in Chicago, so all right,
it's fucked.
Speaker 9 (06:57):
Don't you study again? Carr, wasn't you all?
Speaker 7 (07:00):
The director was no good, The film was no good.
The cut has got the story loud stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
The critics all at belly aches. What's the difference?
Speaker 7 (07:06):
What the reason was?
Speaker 6 (07:07):
The picture was a flopper room laid eggs all the
way up and down State Street.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Get to the point.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
I passed it all day, don't you get it? Mark,
the author of the novel we made the film out of,
blows his top.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Why ask me? Why?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I don't have to ask you.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
The kid told me yesterday right in the hotel, ruined
his life work.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
He said, yeah, yeah, that's what he said. But that
won't be what I'll say. Uh, but who did you
know for?
Speaker 10 (07:29):
He's take Mark, shut your mouth and listen to the guy.
Speaker 12 (07:32):
For the first time in a year.

He's got a good idea, my idea, that's.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
What you think.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I listen mine.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
With this angle, we're gonna turn the picture into a
gold mine.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Say it, say it, I'll say it.
Speaker 10 (07:40):
The reason that crazy kid killed himself was because the
picture was so terrific.
Speaker 12 (07:44):
He was done finished.
Speaker 7 (07:45):
Yeah yeah, his life work comes to life on the
silver screen. So the boy genius bows out.
Speaker 9 (07:50):
Don't you get it?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
But but that isn't true?
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Oh for the linan mean, who will believe you?

of crime.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Like, how do you? Nothing's funny? I guess not who great?
Speaker 12 (16:20):
But I got funny thoughts in my head. What a
minute ago I was thinking about when I was a kid.
Wanna hear about when I was a kid?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Why not?
Speaker 12 (16:33):
Bob here and all the rest of the publicity guys
have wrote written so much junk about me being the
only daughter of you know, poor but respectable small town people.
I almost got to thinking.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It was true.
Speaker 9 (16:48):
Yeah, would you believe it?
Speaker 12 (16:50):
I paid some wise guy over on Sunset Boulevard a
thousand bucks for a coat of arms of the family
to hang up in the hall. You know, one of
those fancy shields of lines crawling all over things. Should
have had a couple of beer bottles.
Speaker 13 (17:03):
I don't did a line.
Speaker 12 (17:06):
Yeah, you wanna know my real name?
Speaker 13 (17:09):
See what's the difference? Beer bottles.
Speaker 10 (17:14):
Yeah, beer bottles and the smell of the laundry coming
up the air shaft and a lot of dirts.
Speaker 12 (17:20):
That's what I remember from when I was a kid.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Sam.
Speaker 12 (17:26):
Yeah, I just wanted to hear you talk.
Speaker 13 (17:31):
Oh what was I talking about?
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (17:33):
Yeah, I was thinking something funny about when I was
a kid. When it was hot at night, I used
to lie on my back on the roof, look at
the clouds and make off. I was just sort of
hanging in the air.
Speaker 13 (17:47):
Understand, I want that funny now.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Gravity? What dices?
Speaker 8 (17:57):
You said?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Gravity? Why? I was thinking what gravity is pulling us down? Well,
I was thinking of what's pulling us up?
Speaker 12 (18:09):
There aren't any answers, no, no, no answer. When I
was that kid, I found answers. Yeah, how to get along,
how to get out.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Of the smell and the dirt.
Speaker 12 (18:23):
Real answers.
Speaker 13 (18:25):
They took me along way.
Speaker 12 (18:27):
Five thousand a week, five year contract, no options. I
did alright with my answers. Here is one answer. I
haven't gone cause there isn't any answer.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Maybe there is.
Speaker 13 (18:40):
Yeah, yeah, you listen to me.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Supposing I listen to you, I don't know how to talk.
Oh you just go ahead for a whole hour I've
been trying to figure things out, so there is any
real answer, hm, I mean that Dad's up like a
column of figures on a slide room when you're trying
to figure out the stress on a wing. Nothing like that.
(19:06):
But kind of screwy ideas come to me. Ah, I
talk about it, go on and just a bozo. Ever
since I've been able to stand on my own feet,
everything's kind to be able to add up, or it
just doesn't mean anything to me. When I was a kid, well, well,
when I was a kid, I really had the well,
(19:27):
like you said, the poor but respectable parents, you know,
the kind they believe in somebody up there and somebody
down below, and good and eve 'em, all the rest
of 'em. Funny you thinking about when you were a kid,
and me thinking the same.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Thing you said.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
You had to answer. Yeah, it's like this. I heard
the three of you talking all the way from the
coast to Chicago, and I'll back again, talking about nothing
but yourselves, each one of you, nothing meanly, anything but yourselves.
You would like this up here. I know I wouldn't
be able to say this, but oh why not say it?
Speaker 6 (20:02):
You?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
You making more money in a week than the average
guy with the family sweats out his insides for on
a year. But instead of the money making me understand anything,
it's made you understand less than a blind.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Kid walking in the dark.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Everything's for you. The world's just a big movie screen.
Everybody in it just there to sit up and look
at you. Yeah. I heard somebody wrote a book. You
bought it, made a picture out of it. Maybe it
was an honest book, but you didn't buy it to
be honest. You bought it to make dough. So the
kid blew his brains out. Even dead, he couldn't get
(20:35):
away from you. Yeah, you're gonna use his dead body
to make you more money. Yeah, dead or alive, nothing
means anything to you. There's no world, but you're a
screely world. Everybody all over the world can crawl on
the ground hiding from bombs, can be starved and watch
their kids starve and die on bobed wire fighting for
something they don't know much about, and drowning the sea.
And it don't mean anything to you, none of it,
(20:56):
as long as each of you can hold on to
what you've got. Yeah, the three of you acting as
if you weren't made of the same flesh and blood
as the rest of us. Is making a lot of
money and seeing your name in the paper a lot
and getting a lot of applause to get right off
the earth. Maybe something somebody decided you weren't fifth of
the earth. You cry, you asked me. I told you.
Speaker 13 (21:33):
I was in a picture one the girl got in
a jam.
Speaker 14 (21:38):
She didn't know how to pray with you.
Speaker 13 (21:44):
Well, that was in the picture.
Speaker 14 (21:46):
It is really yeah, if anybody told me a couple
of hours ago that all with Mark's sitting there out
of his head, Bob me sitting here listening.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
To the kind of thing you asked me to.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
You tone, it was a long.
Speaker 12 (22:11):
About that kid who died.
Speaker 13 (22:14):
I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 14 (22:17):
Even thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
The engine.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
We've gotta.
Speaker 9 (22:32):
Wake up you hear. Everything's all right, all.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
Right, I know my publicity seems like this isn't good
a span.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
I'm not arguing with you, alright.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
Spread a screwy thing like this, he'll be reporting the
country behold in his nose, some screwy it's for heaven's sake. Well,
just stopped talking about it for the last hour. My
head's starting to go around it's forgotten, he finished.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
So whatever it was, we'll forget from the way.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
From that pilot.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
You talked to him, sure, I'm sure he won't talk.
He wants to eat, don't he, So he won't talk.
Speaker 9 (23:20):
Got everything fixed?
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Huh, well, Framadonna's talking again. Ah, now, Lona, you understand,
nobody's gonna know about this. Like like Bob says, crazy
publicity is bad publicity, and.
Speaker 3 (23:33):

over the airport. Good, good drink? Do I need a drink?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
