Presenting Orson Wells as the Third Man.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
The Lives of Harry Lives the fabulous stories of the
immortal character originally created in the story The Third Man
with Zippo music by Anton Karrot. I've messed around in
a lot of messy things, you know me. I'm certainly
(00:54):
no angel.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
But I never had anything to do with murder and
still right except just once with black nails.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
And my fault eithers.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I think you'll agree, but all the same outside will
ever come within breathing distance of that caper, because there's
several people during.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
The course of the little story had occasion to point
out blackmail. It's a nasty word. That's the title of
the table. Stick around and see if you don't agree.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
It all started in my say, back in forty seven,
I was running cigarettes into France, and those days cigarettes
and a few other comme outities.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
As I think I've told you before, I had a nice.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Little sailing boat in an auxiliary typical pleasure graph of
the water to use as a cupboard. This was in
September and I just come into Port that afternoon a
few of verit and having dinner in the town. I
was on my way back to the boat alone. It
was late on.

Four and cold.

Suddenly looming ahead of me and missed and lurching drunken me.
I saw the figure of the man big film. I
thought i'd stay out of his way last. There's a
tough town, one of the toughest in the world. It's
a good place not to have any trouble, So that's
why I tried to keep fear of the drunk. But
before I could get out of the wind, he caught
sight of me out of the strange muffled sort of cry,
(03:11):
and suddenly threw himself forth. Oh, embraced myself with Before
I knew it, he was down on his knees in
front of me, roaming, and all at once I realized
he wasn't drunk at all, but all that wet on
his chest his blood.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I never found out who did it, even after I
took him.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Out of my yard, tried to do what I could
for him. Never told me who it was that had
stamped him. The knife had gone in just over his heart,
and by dawn it was pretty clear that he wasn't
gonna live.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Through the day. He seemed to realize it too.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
But he was dead, and I pulled the sheet up
over his big, ugly face and went out of the camp.
Three months later, in Paris, in a little night, Robin
Mom and I ran into Julian to morrow. Julian was
(06:46):
a newspaper Man's why you, Juan. He's quite a guy too,
not a crook, just a newspaper man. I'd struck up
the brains with him, and after a couple of weeks

yes there is, you say it's mine, not something pretty
bad enough for.

third man.
Speaker 8 (15:00):

quite a character and a great authority on passports, frontiers, international.

Laws in general, and how to break them in particular.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
There's Harry Lime speaking Harry Lime.
Speaker 2 (15:50):

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Mama, you line. I'm a Harryline.

An hour later I'd filled mamay in on the.
Speaker 1 (16:15):

Now, Larry, it's a tricky business man.
Speaker 9 (16:21):
You need to tell you.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
The folly passport is easy.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
But finding this man malany remain.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
And getting him back with the iron curtains joke.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
But Mama, I didn't come here to listener. How difficult that.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Some help are two ways.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
The first way, you've got to remain yourself. That's the way.
I don't like, I don't blame you, and I can
get killed. The other way is to diplomatic change. The
way you say that sounds easy. Know that you know
any ambassador. I don't know any ambassadors. All you need
is body is high up in the government, get in place.
Speaker 9 (17:03):
If you could just find a weak place.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Somewhere, weak place.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
When it's fresh.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
You mean black men. I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah, I mean flesh just fine.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
Soft m hm.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Hey, where are you going? So making life pleas?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Thanks ma'am.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
And I've got time.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I gotta find myself one of those soft places and
then gotta start pushing, pushing quick or else else.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
That same old word. I don't like it anymore. News
pressure pressure.
Speaker 9 (17:40):
So that's your line. Let's sage you've been able to
see you now can be set.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Thank you? That's your line. Oh, yes, coming, What can
I do? I get right down to the point you.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I know you're a busy man, as was an important one. Well,
I have a favor to ask the man in Romania?
Is stateless mans transport before the woods? Or us here
in France? Who wants to get him out? You say,
here's monsieur rhyme. The thing as you're asking why, it's
practically impossible, and it would be frank with you.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I don't even know who you are lying well, you see,
even on the highest ministerial level would be as you say,
practically impossible. I like that word. Practically gives me a
little hope.
Speaker 10 (18:32):
Yes, I know, don't rather to say it again. You
don't know me from Adam Monsieur. There you see, I
have the advantage I know you from I even know
you from Monsieur Giblet.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
I've been in touch with a friend of your man
called Brocco, mysel Brocco. The name seems to me. He
said it would that he's dead. But that brought the secret,
not your secret, old man. I gave it to me
before I died.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Now, then when can I expect some action on my clients?
Your client man who needs to packport? Remember the case
you said was practically impossible.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Leave the particulars with my secretary. You would hear from
me before the end of thee Thanks, old man. I
appreciate this, I really do.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
And when do I hear from you again?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
That name is always come back. That's a nasty wordle man.
Don't use it again. You won't see it. Well, it worked,
whatever it was, it woulked.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I was holding a secret over a man's head, and
I didn't even know the secret. Yes, whatever I was
threatening the politician, she seemed to be a threat strong
enough because by the end of next week, Hyde's father
was on his way through the Iron Curtain. She said,
I was wonderful he did. Asked how she could ever
(20:02):
thank me, and I told her that thanks didn't come
into it. I'm not your benefactor, honey, Remember I told her,
I'm your victim.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
About four months later, Julian wrote me from New York.
This is Julian Morome.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I'm dear Harry, he wrote.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Now that it's all over, I think you have a
right to know the truth, the truth about Jiblet.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I mean, I'm reading to you now from Julian's letter.
Jibre was born in the suburb of Paris.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
His political life began when he joined the group wearing
black boots and brown shirts of a violently anti democratic character.
This is or during the thirties. Then during World War
Two came his big chance. He would see that the
chievelet well essentially a little man is clever. He secures
for himself very early in the German occupation a false
identity card, and it is under the false name of Gibra,
(21:01):
that he is a collaborationist, a Nazis stooge, and a
black marketeer.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
His real name is therefore a good name. It is
the false one which is back.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
That's the beginning of forty four.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Convinced that the Nazis near the and he rushes forward
to the fighting French and under his real name joins
their invasion corps. Under his true identity, he gives them
some assistance that the end of the war, the power
of the resistance becomes overwhelming and the investigations far reaching.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
So chievallet drops the false identity of Gibret forever.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Now notice please that his original name is above reproach,
since it was under the false one that he acted
for the Nazis.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Now there's nethh for men like himself, marred itself a
facing industrious.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And so it comes to pass that the little fascist
street fighter, the black marketeer, the collaborationist who betrayed scores
of his countrymen, of the Germans, is triumphantly elected to
the Parliament as representative of one of the great historical
parties of France. Well, now, my friend, we come from
the Amazon. The given's title in the newspaper was myself.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Just before the war, theoretically the racket was broken up.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
And in fact it was still flourishing in Paris until
the very recent death of a certain Marcel Braco.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
This gang worked in pairs late at night, gangs.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Of girls, striking up casual acquaintances with visiting provincial gentlemen
of a certain age, and steering at the various nightclubs.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Finally to a cheap bar where the.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Respectable old gentleman was invariably rolled.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
As you say in America, in other words, everything was
taken from him, and if possible, afterwards he was blackmailed.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Now, some such poor old fellow was being beaten up
in a bar by Bracco and the others who worked
in his gang.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
When Sheba lay driving home from an all night session
at the National Assembly, heard the noise.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
He was waiting for a traffic light to change and
seeing your police on the street, and went into the
little bar too investing. Now, Mark, this was a genuinely
kindly act, the act of a self respecting French citizen,
and you see what had gone. Of course, the gangsters
turned on him and beat him senseless, going through his wallet.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Came on his old identity card, which he'd kept for
some reason, another concealed behind a photograph of his mother.
It was the card of Chivret, the Nazis stooge.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Thus his secret fell into the hands of Bracco, used
it not to extort money, but for police protection for
his gang. Very recently, as you may have read in
my column, Monsieur Givrolet was being considered for an important
new post in the ministry.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
And then you, my dear Harry, came to him with your.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Threats, threats of exposing something the very nature of which,
as it happened, you didn't even understand.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
How Chibre had begun to breathe again, you see, and
to hope after Bracco had died. But your visit was
too much for him. The French government had put a
price on.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
The head of Chievre, that Nancy stooge Chivallet, the politician
didn't realize that his secret was safe. Perhaps he was right,
the secret like that had never said. And so it
was that, after some weeks of waiting for you to return,
incase you never did, his nerve finally cracked, and the
very day on which she was to be confirmed in
(23:59):
his new post, his housekeeper coming in with the morning coffee,
found him dead. He was seated before his desk where
he had shot himself, seated before a blank piece of
paper he had not even written.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I suppose at the end he found it difficult to
decide who we could write to, what he would say?
What name s.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Harry line returns in just a moment, and now carry line.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
A few days ago, I was in Pence.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
I went into a little place I know near the
markets where they make a wonderful fish souper.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
And who should I see having lunch there?
Speaker 3 (25:40):
But hid Hi?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
You know gentlemen, I was sure must be a pardon.
She introduced him and I sat down for a drink.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
So finally I get to meet the wonderful Holly Life.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
This is really a player, and I graduated a sam
on the sunny side of that iron, thanks to you,
mister Life.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Oh no, really, yes, my daughter has will be.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Able to everything. Did you tell your father everything I
told him? Did you tell him how you managed to
persuade me to do it?
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Yet?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Not exactly? What's these secrets?
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Hidi?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
You're blushy, Hidie. I'll make a deal with you. I
won't tell your father what you did if you let
me take your both to lunch. But that black me
is a nasty word. Let's not use it again. The
spoil like sup.
Speaker 8 (26:59):
Mm hmmm, sence
Speaker 1 (27:58):

few of verit and having dinner in the town. I
was on my way back to the boat alone. It
was late on.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Four and cold.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Suddenly looming ahead of me and missed and lurching drunken me.
I saw the figure of the man big film. I
thought i'd stay out of his way last. There's a
tough town, one of the toughest in the world. It's
a good place not to have any trouble, So that's
why I tried to keep fear of the drunk. But
before I could get out of the wind, he caught
sight of me out of the strange muffled sort of cry,
(03:11):
and suddenly threw himself forth. Oh, embraced myself with Before
I knew it, he was down on his knees in
front of me, roaming, and all at once I realized
he wasn't drunk at all, but all that wet on
his chest his blood.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I never found out who did it, even after I
took him.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Out of my yard, tried to do what I could
for him. Never told me who it was that had
stamped him. The knife had gone in just over his heart,
and by dawn it was pretty clear that he wasn't
gonna live.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Through the day. He seemed to realize it too.

ju he has Julia Love.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
But he was dead, and I pulled the sheet up
over his big, ugly face and went out of the camp.
Three months later, in Paris, in a little night, Robin
Mom and I ran into Julian to morrow. Julian was
(06:46):
a newspaper Man's why you, Juan. He's quite a guy too,
not a crook, just a newspaper man. I'd struck up
the brains with him, and after a couple of weeks
to brighten into something resembling friendship. So tonight I about
the time to come when I can afford to approach
him on the subject, to make you say precious name, Julian. Yes,
(07:09):

I'm plating.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
There was a guy down in mass say to me
that name said it was worth money. Yes, that's what
he told me. He was dying at the time.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
That man enos say he must have been a criminal.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Well, don't go all prim or al on me too.
Then he as a matter of fact, it was something

Speaker 6 (07:53):

Speaker 4 (07:56):
I'm nothing very special for myself. But when you stay

Nasty world for a nasty.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
World for that kind of money?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
From stage, I don't get that. That's French French for
black man. A little later, though Julian loosened.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Up a little. That's a few more drinks.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Perry. Yes, the kriminal, mat say, you were.
Speaker 5 (08:37):

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Bracco mate you or you're on the racket. You're a
newspaper man. Sell was with us for a while in
the resistance.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
It was the plaved man and we got to be friends.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
But then later week, that was after the war. It
came to me hearing Peris wanted information.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
About his Gibla and I gave it to him.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
Gibla is an important man in the government and through
the paper, I arranged an interview between him and.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Not said, but I told you, Harry, blackmail.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Is something I can't for.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
The Massel was blackmailing, and yes, not for money, but
for protection, police protection.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Ma said, you probably know that game they called the Amazon.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
But what was he black nailing about?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
What?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
What did he have on him? Plenty? And you know
what it was.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Certainly Masell told me exactly what was.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
That's mister Giblet's secret and the as of the two,
yes there is, you say it's mine, not something pretty
bad enough for.
Speaker 7 (09:49):
A man who's trying to make something decent of himself. Oh,

Speaker 5 (09:56):

third man.
Speaker 8 (15:00):
Mhm h.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
M hm, Who Mama Agent Sky, that's what I thought,
I replied it with my little problem. Mama Agency is
quite a character and a great authority on passports, frontiers, international.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Laws in general, and how to break them in particular.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
There's Harry Lime speaking Harry Lime.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I speak to Mama, Harry.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Mama, you line. I'm a Harryline.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I'm in trouble. I need help, sort of.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
An hour later I'd filled mamay in on the.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Whole story and was waiting for advice.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Now, Larry, it's a tricky business man.
Speaker 9 (16:21):
You need to tell you.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
The folly passport is easy.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
But finding this man malany remain.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
And getting him back with the iron curtains joke.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
But Mama, I didn't come here to listener. How difficult that.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Some help are two ways.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
The first way, you've got to remain yourself. That's the way.
I don't like, I don't blame you, and I can
get killed. The other way is to diplomatic change. The
way you say that sounds easy. Know that you know
any ambassador. I don't know any ambassadors. All you need
is body is high up in the government, get in place.
Speaker 9 (17:03):
If you could just find a weak place.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Somewhere, weak place.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
When it's fresh.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
You mean black men. I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah, I mean flesh just fine.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
Soft m hm.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Hey, where are you going? So making life pleas?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Thanks ma'am.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
And I've got time.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I gotta find myself one of those soft places and
then gotta start pushing, pushing quick or else else.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
That same old word. I don't like it anymore. News
pressure pressure.
Speaker 9 (17:40):
So that's your line. Let's sage you've been able to
see you now can be set.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Thank you? That's your line. Oh, yes, coming, What can
I do? I get right down to the point you.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I know you're a busy man, as was an important one. Well,
I have a favor to ask the man in Romania?
Is stateless mans transport before the woods? Or us here
in France? Who wants to get him out? You say,
here's monsieur rhyme. The thing as you're asking why, it's
practically impossible, and it would be frank with you.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I don't even know who you are lying well, you see,
even on the highest ministerial level would be as you say,
practically impossible. I like that word. Practically gives me a
little hope.
Speaker 10 (18:32):
Yes, I know, don't rather to say it again. You
don't know me from Adam Monsieur. There you see, I
have the advantage I know you from I even know
you from Monsieur Giblet.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
I've been in touch with a friend of your man
called Brocco, mysel Brocco. The name seems to me. He
said it would that he's dead. But that brought the secret,
not your secret, old man. I gave it to me
before I died.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Now, then when can I expect some action on my clients?
Your client man who needs to packport? Remember the case
you said was practically impossible.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Leave the particulars with my secretary. You would hear from
me before the end of thee Thanks, old man. I
appreciate this, I really do.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
And when do I hear from you again?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
That name is always come back. That's a nasty wordle man.
Don't use it again. You won't see it. Well, it worked,
whatever it was, it woulked.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I was holding a secret over a man's head, and
I didn't even know the secret. Yes, whatever I was
threatening the politician, she seemed to be a threat strong
enough because by the end of next week, Hyde's father
was on his way through the Iron Curtain. She said,
I was wonderful he did. Asked how she could ever
(20:02):
thank me, and I told her that thanks didn't come
into it. I'm not your benefactor, honey, Remember I told her,
I'm your victim.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
About four months later, Julian wrote me from New York.
This is Julian Morome.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I'm dear Harry, he wrote.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Now that it's all over, I think you have a
right to know the truth, the truth about Jiblet.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I mean, I'm reading to you now from Julian's letter.
Jibre was born in the suburb of Paris.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
His political life began when he joined the group wearing
black boots and brown shirts of a violently anti democratic character.
This is or during the thirties. Then during World War
Two came his big chance. He would see that the
chievelet well essentially a little man is clever. He secures
for himself very early in the German occupation a false
identity card, and it is under the false name of Gibra,
(21:01):
that he is a collaborationist, a Nazis stooge, and a
black marketeer.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
His real name is therefore a good name. It is
the false one which is back.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
That's the beginning of forty four.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Convinced that the Nazis near the and he rushes forward
to the fighting French and under his real name joins
their invasion corps. Under his true identity, he gives them
some assistance that the end of the war, the power
of the resistance becomes overwhelming and the investigations far reaching.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
So chievallet drops the false identity of Gibret forever.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Now notice please that his original name is above reproach,
since it was under the false one that he acted
for the Nazis.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Now there's nethh for men like himself, marred itself a
facing industrious.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And so it comes to pass that the little fascist
street fighter, the black marketeer, the collaborationist who betrayed scores
of his countrymen, of the Germans, is triumphantly elected to
the Parliament as representative of one of the great historical
parties of France. Well, now, my friend, we come from
the Amazon. The given's title in the newspaper was myself.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Just before the war, theoretically the racket was broken up.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
And in fact it was still flourishing in Paris until
the very recent death of a certain Marcel Braco.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
This gang worked in pairs late at night, gangs.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Of girls, striking up casual acquaintances with visiting provincial gentlemen
of a certain age, and steering at the various nightclubs.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Finally to a cheap bar where the.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Respectable old gentleman was invariably rolled.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
As you say in America, in other words, everything was
taken from him, and if possible, afterwards he was blackmailed.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Now, some such poor old fellow was being beaten up
in a bar by Bracco and the others who worked
in his gang.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
When Sheba lay driving home from an all night session
at the National Assembly, heard the noise.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
He was waiting for a traffic light to change and
seeing your police on the street, and went into the
little bar too investing. Now, Mark, this was a genuinely
kindly act, the act of a self respecting French citizen,
and you see what had gone. Of course, the gangsters
turned on him and beat him senseless, going through his wallet.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Came on his old identity card, which he'd kept for
some reason, another concealed behind a photograph of his mother.
It was the card of Chivret, the Nazis stooge.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Thus his secret fell into the hands of Bracco, used
it not to extort money, but for police protection for
his gang. Very recently, as you may have read in
my column, Monsieur Givrolet was being considered for an important
new post in the ministry.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
And then you, my dear Harry, came to him with your.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Threats, threats of exposing something the very nature of which,
as it happened, you didn't even understand.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
How Chibre had begun to breathe again, you see, and
to hope after Bracco had died. But your visit was
too much for him. The French government had put a
price on.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
The head of Chievre, that Nancy stooge Chivallet, the politician
didn't realize that his secret was safe. Perhaps he was right,
the secret like that had never said. And so it
was that, after some weeks of waiting for you to return,
incase you never did, his nerve finally cracked, and the
very day on which she was to be confirmed in
(23:59):
his new post, his housekeeper coming in with the morning coffee,
found him dead. He was seated before his desk where
he had shot himself, seated before a blank piece of
paper he had not even written.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I suppose at the end he found it difficult to
decide who we could write to, what he would say?
What name s.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Harry line returns in just a moment, and now carry line.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
A few days ago, I was in Pence.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
I went into a little place I know near the
markets where they make a wonderful fish souper.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
And who should I see having lunch there?
Speaker 3 (25:40):
But hid Hi?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
You know gentlemen, I was sure must be a pardon.
She introduced him and I sat down for a drink.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
So finally I get to meet the wonderful Holly Life.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
This is really a player, and I graduated a sam
on the sunny side of that iron, thanks to you,
mister Life.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Oh no, really, yes, my daughter has will be.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Able to everything. Did you tell your father everything I
told him? Did you tell him how you managed to
persuade me to do it?
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Yet?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Not exactly? What's these secrets?
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Hidi?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
You're blushy, Hidie. I'll make a deal with you. I
won't tell your father what you did if you let
me take your both to lunch. But that black me
is a nasty word. Let's not use it again. The
spoil like sup.
Speaker 8 (26:59):
Mm hmmm, sence
