Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wire, please wire please.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Uh. The Mutual Broadcasting System is thens the third of
the series of Our Usual Ones Around programs, written and
directed by Willis Cooper and featuring Ernest Capell. This story
is called we were here First.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I'll tell you a story.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
You'll keep asking for stories.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I'll tell you one that are really kidding at something.
Just see, you'll keep thinking about the.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Place, and I can I have an idea and pass
it on to the ones that come after him, just
as I'm passing it on to you. So you Christmas
cant there's some different start with once upon a time.
(01:10):
It's about the world today, so that once upon a
time doesn't stop me. You know there are giants in
this world? Oh yes there are. If you think we
were the only one chair here all, there are giant
millions of 'em, big.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Giants, so big and it's almost impossible for one bnt you?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I think, how did they die? White? A hair from
the head of.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
One of 'em is as big as generally stand there
everywhere in the cold.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Lines and the hot lines, everywhere, and they hate everywhere,
They hate each other, and they take out Oh how
they they how they like to get rid of it.
But our pendants then.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Are going to we work here first, and we're going
to be here a long long time after they're gone
where they're.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Going to go.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Don't fool yourself about that. They can't win, but it
isn't going to be easier.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Don't pull yourself about that either. They've killed an awful
lot of us in all the millions of years that
you Naser and I may say, we've killed quite a
few of them.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
We've killed more of them than they have any idea,
And that, my.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Child, is quite a trick when you considered the difference
in our taf hollign Well, that's.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
How to explain.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
We're all differentside it. You know, some of us are small.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Some of us think there are fat.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Ones the most distant in one of you, and they're
the same way. But on the average, I should say,
there are uh, oh about a hundred and fifty times
as tall as we are.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Oh yes, a hundred and fifty times at.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I that monse. But there's an old things I've This
is something you wanna remember. The bigger they are, the
harder they fall. I don't wanna give you the idea
of all that it's going to be.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Give you to win.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I've really live my life out, and there's just as
many of them as them. You'll live your life out,
and your children and your children's children.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Will live and die in generations that you can count
up in trillions, and they'll still be here. And we'll
all of us say an awful test in the time,
but we breathe fast, and our families are love.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Then one day, one day, there'll be no more giant
in the earth, and we'll have it all to ourselves,
rather than dwelling together in unity. That's one of their things,
who but they disregard it pretty much. They don't do
(04:31):
well together in unity any more than we do.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
And that's the bad part of the door things about
if we.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Just sit simple, they do it, if we just stop
fighting amongst our own. Now, of course it's all right
for them to fight amongst themselves. That sympties our problems.
Some day, if we're.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Lucky, maybe they'll all kill each other. They try out
about it.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Oh, I touch you.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
They've got weapon styles. They've got a mechanic bomb.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
It works, and some of 'em are scared to death
that it may one day wipe 'em all out. But
we'll see if it does good, then that our.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Day comes a little sooner.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
If it doesn't, well we've got tired. They've got to
talking lately about biological war there URMs. You know, you
know where they got that from us? No, they don't
(05:41):
realize how far I had of 'em. We are in
biological warfare. I contended some things, but they are sincret
But even I can't help. They'll find out though, remember it.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
The money come to me something else to think about too.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
As I said, they hate us, but most of their
time is taken up and they hating each other, so
they don't have the time.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
You would tend to one if they should. Y they
want to continue to exist.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
They're absolutely ruthless, though when they do think about extreminating us,
I know I nearly got it once.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
You want to hear about it, But can you take it?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Well, this is just one of the concentration camps they
run in between the times they're planning how.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
To exterminate each other.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
They call this place New Jersey, but it's not New
Jersey to us. Some of us call it unaccompany. That's Greek.
It means city of death. Greek.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
All the Greeks lived on this earth a long long
time ago. They're some of 'em.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Left today, But uh, they're not the same as they
were there.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
They got killed.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
All that's left of their glorious words like Pnatopais, words
that have the sound of death and the job. I
was hungry, that's all I got caught. That's the way
a lot of us get caught. Plenty of food, plenty
(07:22):
of good, healthy food. So I had a drink, nothing
to do but get that.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
And get killed. I didn't know about giants in those days.
I know now. The gate was wide open, and I
tell you it was the pleasantest place. I wasn't just mean.
I looked it over. I smelled the fool.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I tell you, I've been.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Around, and I never smelled anything so delicious in all
my life. I just maning craziness anything around. Well, the
food was just as good as it sounds, and there
was plenty of it. I lost my way going in.
It's uh, they're kind of a larger interesting and I
was interested in the food out.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I was hungry. There was a lot of us in there.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I recognize hundreds of friends, fat, happy, well fed, and
I stayed there quite a while.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I got that too, But there were SMEEs I didn't like.
I was like fool. He mostly was as a can't
we're wear at all? And the fee was all watching
us so worthy. I one morning early I heard a boy,
(08:46):
this was about ready, I think, just look at 'em, hm,
thousands and thousands of 'em, and not one of 'em
but something I would try to get out.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I looked up.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
That sounded like a warm boice to me, just a
gas letty. They got a good time, all run enough,
we'll see how long it takes him to die.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
It was a human voice, a giant voice. That particular
concentration temple there would grow by one of their females,
probably according to their standards, a very unperful one. To
me as I looked up at her face fire above me,
she was my grandmother, thy years of death.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I'd ever be though a child she was well the
thought watch paralyzed. I. I watched her great filtrees whine.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
For stop watch, well stuff with terror. I saw the
the usles of the gas generators sold her into the
door far across the floor.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Oh s, we had to crawl toward the door because
they adn't going well, but I gassed you. It's quite
hard to warn. Or two was white fails, but they weren't.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Heavy with good living. And it was usually say round
my way through the word. They wing somehow, hoping, hoping
of the time.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
What had it gone out if I? And then I
saw a raise my hands with the watch. I heard
him pull on the gas.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
And when they plain those of the game a little
short o thir teve bs, then I fucking my fot
was k for the eye bothers and others looking to
hold up or fellow stagger again. Fellow staggered again. There
was like thour dotard the blesses fust hand I held
(10:35):
the song of the something.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Had heard a lot. Look at him, look at him
crawl and wriggles.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
This was the best death we do. Look at him
three seconds.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
One seconds and every one of 'em dead. This is
wonder one. It would be.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Hy couldn't cousin for s.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Hm and comfort thousands of us death. Mmm mm, this
is the hard You know what she did?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
She gathered up their still warm bodies and tossed them
under a great scare and waited them. Why so she
couldn't know how many of us she had killed in
four things steel, wonder we hate them, feel wonder. We
(11:34):
live for nothing but the day when the giant male
and female and all their young s'll.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
All be gone from the eart.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
So you see it must see us for them, and
I swear to att we'll see. We work here first.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
In patience.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Most of the time they forget where here is. And
that's got the stores because very intelligent.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Amazing fly to you. They have marvelous instruments that help
them perform our means and any.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
They've got radars, for instance, but fortunately for us, their
radars will take us hunt as dollar as I can.
They've got nothing good communication, but there's under city's hours.
And the amazing thing is that most of the remarkable
inventions they brought up and perfected are humans for fighting
one another. Let them keep bothering about it, because the
(12:45):
peep there's one little place they never see the pink.
They fight amongst them itself. But we fight, I guess
both times. And you know who wins their wars. We do, child,
We always have, we always will. We hide anything no
(13:10):
matter where they're going. There's always one of the meaning
there's not one single word spoken they do any words
that they don't hear. No matter what they plan, we
know about it. They never flee from us. They plan
for their pleasure, and we prepare to spoil their pleasures.
They plan for wars, and we mobilize our expedition, and
they play, and we hear them, and we act their
(13:34):
pace sometimes with that.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
What what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Oh, do you think it's hard? That means our sides
to kill a beings the size of a giant? It
isn't you see in the first place, were the sus
the fight and then about to kill one?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Nothing?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
We two?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Not all of us know about the GUIDs. Not all
of us know that we're being sacrified at this end
of the war. Some of us think we're dying a
natural death, I suppose, or way leaders know. You still
don't understand.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
We'll let me give an example. I've had the giants
of the average on.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
The average, uh, perhaps a hundred and fifty times as
fall as wing. Well, that's just height. If you know
anything about mathematics, you realize what that means. They are
uncounted millions of times bigger than we are in actual rest.
It would probably think a they are a pinion of
(14:42):
our bodies to make one the size of theirs. Uh
take an ant for instance, how much bigger is a
land than a lamb?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
You see well on a plantation? Is I South America?
A round the flowing towards the street line, and the
column was long. The beasts are tree from the monkey
(15:16):
here is too pers jaguars.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
And planing creatures only happening, and the strict skeleton of
cream to markify. They followed stiltons clean, the animals that
fell in their ways strict.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Clean, the medal of mirth and climbing creatures.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Only happen long coming.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
We gotta fight them, and was flowing streams of water
come on. There was just a while them. Then some die,
but they come on fire fire here the oil with fire.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
And some die. But they come off.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
The pleas.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
And the brown river closed and lunceless.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
They are tiny creatures happening strong. Then behind them, at
the end of the grown river disappears a clean white skeleton.
And that's what you see.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
It isn't side, it's hatred. They're a will to conquer,
and it's a number. The bigger they are, the harder
they fall. A child, don't something felt.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Uh, so you haven't seen the giants. You just think
you have a child.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
You're young yet, and you mistake them. Sometimes you think
it's a crowd that obscure the sun.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Sometimes it is.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Sometimes it isn't don't please time. When a great channel
falls on the child, it might be one of the
giants and they strike without warning. It's all horrible day.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
They see.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
One of the thing is that thanks living in the
same world with the giants. So terrible is the way
they hate us. They hate us in the personal kind
of way. They they must I have it most of them.
They say, there's one kill 'em and that's all there
is to it.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
You ever think about it, anything that they think is
why we hate the most. We have no consequence to them.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
That is, they think where of no consequence if they
know what we've done to them through all the company's
ages they've been on this are.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
If and perhaps it's a good thing they don't. They're
scientists know.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Though, they got some pretty good stagages, and they're not
thinking up ways to hell each other. And they know
it's all the studies and child they're exact. They're the
ones that follow studies against each other. They war makers
amongst themselves. Why shouldn't they a fight Their theories to us,
(18:06):
and their theories work. We fight amongst ourselves. We do
too much of it, and most of us don't.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
No fight we do. It costs a lot of lives,
and the worst part of it is it costs time.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
I don't say that they put us up to all
the fighting, some of us thinking of ourselves. Maybe it's
a good thing. Maybe there'd be too many of us
for our own good if we didn't kill each other.
But if we could only get together, if we could
only all of us see that one shining goal before us,
(18:46):
think of our world that would belong to us all
by ourselves. We're no giants to worry about. Not that
all of us worry about the giants. That's just the trouble.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
We have to spend so much time ton do see others.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
That they really exist.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
But there are menace to us every second we live,
and then we've got to destroy.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
'em one day. If they don't learn to get together,
they'll destroy us. Maybe they have destroyed a lot of
it so far, And I hate to think of this world.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Belonging to them exclusively.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
What oh, yes, of course, they wouldn't live without it.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
They need it. Some of them know that even if
we are as the rate that constant uses to 'em.
But what's the good of that?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
If they destroy us, they'll die too, and now there
won't be anybody mess in the world. But believe me, child, we.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Don't need them. We got along a.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Good long time before they up.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Here, and we'll do it again, not since superstition. That's
the youth.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Children, I know though, right, are the same thing when
I was your age.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
But I found out this.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yes, there are giants. You will find out certain way
you can kill. And didn't not tellry about the ass.
Well that's right, there were millions of them. But one
of us can kill a giant, just one of it's
I'll tell you a story about that, and then you
decide for yourself. This was in the last war out
in China, a long long way from there, No, I
(20:32):
know it true.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I got it from a friend of mine who was there.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
An airplane fell out in the belly between a lot
the player I got a broken ling for for a week.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
You lay there in a belly all along, and there was.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Nothing wrong with him except for the brooking wing they
had something to eat, and there was one and they
needn't have died except you do have bug do him
sometimes bigger, and he got some strange feeling.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
In the second week, she began to be delirious and
then when he he some much something.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Oh, I he someone calling him.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Oh, I don't see him. Funny everything that's funny.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Ho I call him who.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
It's my dunn.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
I have to have my gun.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I don't know he calling he I'll be quiet.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I don't believe you.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I'll wait.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I see him.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Ah, yes, I do.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
You're not gonna get things. Call you, I do.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Things. He's kill me closer, joint.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Me, get away from me, giant, do you Wabe doesn't
come close.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
No way the giant and I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
You don't come to get me.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
No, I'm going away from me.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
I can take no way get away. I stay. I try.
I done what I kind of way.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Gods like to me.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Stop star alright, k S I saw I said, yes,
I still be dying.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
M Hill. It was very easy. It was very serious.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
A little the latest you even games h the food
a little that the dead gun looked too much his
friendly that he jumps out.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
He didn't find a moment before he did it. It
was then killed? Well, all right, it was his friends.
He thought his friends were guns? Had he killed hi?
Or did he kill anything?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
He fired the pencil of his friend. That was the
the right clause of his friend's dead. But who wasn't
the when things that made him think his friends with
a gun?
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Then none of the.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
I set a little bug ready. So the little bug
was in directly the claws that the other man was dead.
And of the little bug, the man was a giant.
They were both giants. Had he killed them both? Because
the man who killed.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
His friends or the one who moved his flock and
he stayed in his sprind didn't see the PRIs what
he was do.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Well, I know it proved well, maybe that is vactionalizing,
but do you think it over it? In my way
of thinking, these giants got.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Killed, and I'm taking confidence of it.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
You don't have a little swoman. I think you know that.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I look out, quick, look out you all right for
your children.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
He was a child, and he didn't have a standis
against the giant.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
He didn't even believed in teachers.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
No, I'm not gonna be most people about it. There
are too many more of us to worry about the
death of one. You can smatch us, you can quition this,
you can get us to death. But we'll always be
with not only end.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
And that's the way you chance to win.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
With others who.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
With it.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
You die. But listen, person, wherever they we're in the earth.
We live in your houses and teach you, and we
watch your name. We've got sense.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
The very mean. Maybe got weapons, but they happen no difference.
We walk.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
I mean, there's too nice. We ain't got thick. You
warm in the rest. They've got wings. You make your weapons.
We are our own weapons. And if we, in fact
ever get together, or maybe you want, uh, maybe you
black yourselves off the earth.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
And say.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
You're atomic filems don't know you. The flies live that
your don't seemly you know.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
The people are.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Still alive 'em.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
But you and fire another surface of desert.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
You think you wore more and more men, these.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Other dirt seat waiting everything.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Giants, We'll always be wherever you go.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
While you're away, while you're a sleep, hating, blocking again,
knowing that one day everything you'll build. Everything You're accomplished
on the dirt for be our thing was there first,
and we think you're black. There's a time, and there's
(26:36):
a cloud of neat somewhere outdoors waiting for you and
all the rest of the giants we hate.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Are you the one that was bragging about uh what
do you call it? DC? Mind? You product that kills
the buildings in the.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Back of the better?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Try again, giants, you can't live without us.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I just can't live with him. The bigger they are, the.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Harder they fall. We ain't work your pa.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Think about some life when a fat mork Ley your
bedroom window. Maybe he don't be blunder and giant. Maybe
he'll be right. And remember we're giants. Killery not a
(27:37):
good giant.
