Have Gun Will Travel was a popular western radio drama series that ran from 1958 to 1960. It debuted as a television series in 1957 and was one of only a few American television programs that paved the way for a radio version. Although the radio show initially featured stories adapted from television, many of the 106 radio episodes were original stories. The stories follow the adventures of Paladin, played by John Dehner.

I'm sorry our fishing trip turned out this way, boy,
but we can't go back to San Francisco until we
know this girl is safe. Have gone, We'll travel, Starring
(00:38):
mister John Dayner as Paladin, San Francisco, eighteen seventy five.
The Carlton Hotel, headquarters of a man called Paladin.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Huhhh he's the Paladin, Hey boy, he's a.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Well what in the devil is all that you're carrying?
Speaker 2 (01:19):

Speaker 3 (01:20):
His camping equipment.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
I'll come in, please, yes, come on in. Thank you, Hey.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Boy, tired?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I don't doubt it. But why in the world you
have all that equipment?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Oh? He's very necessary for fishy trip, mister Paladin.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Well, we certainly don't need all that.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Oh yes, sir, Man in store, I tell hey boy
he need anythings?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Ah, Man at the store, did you tell him that
we were only going for one week?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Hey boy, get time off from job that you promised
to take me, and that is very happy time.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
But may I remind you that, besides two saddle horses,
are only taking one pack horse?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Oh too much equip one?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Huh much too much?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Hey boy, have to leave some You'll have to leave
a lot.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
All we need are a couple of saddle blankets, cooking gear,
some fishing line, a few hooks, and the rest is
up to the fish when they see.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
The worms, worms, little wiggly worms.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
That's right, we use them for bait.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Hey boy, not like little wiggly worm.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Well, there's one other way to catch fish, a boy
for he saw how well you find yourself a nice
rock out in the middle of the stream, seeing and
you crouch on it like a cat and be still,
very still.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
He saw.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Then what then after a couple of hours you might
see a fish. And when you do, you take a
deep breath, dive into that icy stream and swim after him.
If you're lucky and can hold your breath long enough,
you may catch a fish.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Hmmm, his apaladi, Yes, hey boy, you's little wiggly warm.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
That's a warning signal for all drivers, And that can
be a warning signal for drowsy drivers on long monotonous trips.
You see, driving can make you drowsy no matter how
much sleep you get, and driving and dozing just don't mix.
Why take chances? Take no Dose Stay Awake tablets millions
(03:42):
of times a year. Safe no Dose keeps drivers awake
and alert helps you bounce back so that you feel sharp,
ready for any emergency.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
How does no does do it?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Ask your doctor.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
He'll tell you that no Dose contains a safe and
accurate amount of caffeine, the same refreshing stimuch you get
in your coffee or tea, but safe no Dose acts faster,
is handier, and more reliable. Best of all, it is
not habit forming. And no Dose is so safe it

Yet No Dose Stay Awake tablets to help you stay
(04:13):
awake and alert. It could save your life.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Hey boy and I left San Francisco and traveled south
into the Santa Lucia Mountains. The wild beauty of this
part of California was magnificent. To see the great jagged
cliffs rising towards the sky and then suddenly slashing off
and dropping into the crashing surf of the Pacific. Far below,
the heavy, untamed forest rowing at the very brink of
(04:48):
the cliffs. We turned inland and rode deep into the
Santa Lucias, searching for the mountain streams of the fort
the best fishing, and soon we had a comfortable camp
set up. The next morning, Hey boy was up with
the sun and standing on the bank of the stream fishing.
By ten o'clock he still hadn't had a strike. Hey boy,
(05:17):
Hey boy, don't you want to eat some breakfast? Hey boy,
catch you fish now? Look here. We'll be here a
whole week, and so will the fish.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Hey boy, use wiggly warm, just like you say, a
boy stealing you catchy fish?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Well, you know what I think. I think you frightened
the fish away, standing there staring at that stream the
way you are.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Oh, hey boy, wait a long time to go on
fishy trip with you?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Now? I catch you fishy? Yes? What was that so?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
I like our lady's cream? Misopolace? Come on, here's your body.
Speaker 8 (05:53):
You're there.
Speaker 9 (05:54):
Leave that girl alone, you hear me. I sent me
her alone. You you hit Carlos.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Kill, I will kill.
Speaker 8 (06:08):
No, you don't, gringo.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Dirty, you have night. You will die, Gringo with the knave.
Speaker 9 (06:18):
You'll try it. You're all right, mighty harm this girl.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
And must kill her. You must let me kill her.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I said, why do you harm this girl? Go?
Speaker 10 (06:37):
I go now?
Speaker 8 (06:39):
You will turn Carlos through there?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
You come back here, come back?
Speaker 11 (06:43):
Please let him go. Don't go after him.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Are you all right?
Speaker 11 (06:50):
Yes, yes, I think so. Who are you, Marlene Malayne Card?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
What's this all about? What happened?
Speaker 11 (06:57):
I was rounding up stray cattle. Carlos came up and
tried to kill me.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
You know this boy?
Speaker 11 (07:04):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Why would he try to kill you?
Speaker 11 (07:06):
I don't know. He's like a wild, crazy animal.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
How far do you live from here?
Speaker 11 (07:13):
About a mile?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Hey, boy, get our things together. We better see that
she gets home. All right, Lisa, Thank you mister.
Speaker 8 (07:36):
Again.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
This fall, we citizens of the United States have the
chance to demonstrate to the rest of the world the
vigor of our free institutions. But if past history be
a guide, an appallingly large percentage of Americans will not
vote in the presidential election. In the present critical world
situation and with economic problems at home, men of the
(07:58):
highest skill and capacity needed. The caliber of the officials
we elect depends on the thoughtful choice of the people
participate in this fall's elections. Contribute to your party or candidate,
work for your choices, make sure you're registered, then be
sure to take your turn at the voting booth in November.
During the months ahead, right through the excitement of election night,
(08:21):
CBS News will report all campaign developments fairly impartially completely
to help you make your decision intelligently, to make you
a fully informed voter. This November, Mylene Carter's ranch was
(08:43):
hidden in a small valley, and the heavily wooded forest
came almost to the back of the house, its tangled
undergrowth capable of hiding many things, its darkness, lonely and sinister.
We were met in the front yard by an ageless
Mexican woman who was introduced to Toeda briefly. Marlene explained
what had happened, and Taleda looked at me, her black
(09:05):
eyes strange and piercing. Marlene insisted we stay for coffee,
and after the first cup, hey boy went outside to
water the horses. By this time the girl had recovered
sufficiently to talk freely.
Speaker 11 (09:18):
Taleda and I run this ranch by ourselves, mister Paladin,
just the two of you. That's right. My mother died
when I was born, and my father died just last year.
Taleda is all I have left. She's been like a
mother to me all my life.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
But don't you have someone here to help you? In ranch? Hands?
Speaker 11 (09:36):
And no, this place is a long way from any town,
mister Paladin, and the men you can get aren't the
most desirable. I hired a couple of men once. As
soon as they found out Taleda and I lived here alone,
they began to get ideas. Taleda had to run them
off with a shotgun.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I see.
Speaker 11 (09:55):
Besides, I only run a small herd, and I can
handle cabble about as good as any man.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Well, I'm sure you can, but it seems at handling
cataly isn't your only problem. What about Carlos?
Speaker 11 (10:05):
Oh, it's terrible, terrible thing.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Who is he, mister Palladin?
Speaker 11 (10:12):
Carlos Martinez was raised right here, right on this ranch.
Speaker 8 (10:16):
Oh.
Speaker 11 (10:17):
My father always treated him like well, like he was
my brother. We grew up together. Carlos was always kind
and good until about two years ago.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
What happened, Well, there was an accident, accident.
Speaker 11 (10:33):
He was breaking a horse. The horse through and Carlos
fractured his skull. We thought he was going to die,
but he didn't. Maybe, Oh, it's a horrible thing to say,
but maybe it would have been better if he had.
Why would you say that when he got well, he
wasn't the same. How do you mean, well, he just
(10:54):
sometimes he'd get kind of wild. It was frightening. My
father couldn't control, and nobody he could. Then one day
he just disappeared.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
That it was over a year.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Ago, and you hadn't seen him again until today.
Speaker 11 (11:08):
Only once when we buried dead and we saw him
lurking in the woods. To Leda tried to go out
and talk to him, but he looked at her kind
of wild and ran off. Oh, to Leda, did mister
Powdin's friend find his way around?
Speaker 12 (11:25):
I see he's still watering the horses more coffee.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Than your Yes, thank you, Taleda. I still don't understand
why he'd want to kill you, my lene. You say
Carlos was raised on this ranch. He almost got killed
by a horse, which seemed to hurt his mind and
turn him into some kind of an animal.
Speaker 12 (11:46):
He is not an animal.
Speaker 11 (11:48):
He is a man with feelings and gentleness.
Speaker 12 (11:50):
And hurts, just like you and just like me. To Leda,
I raised him just as I rais, Signora Madline. I
rapped him to sleep when he was a child, and
I cried over him when he was please. To Leda,
I didn't tell there was nothing to hide. Tenor Paladin
should know that Carlos Martinez, he's my son.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I sat and looked at to Leeda. In her eyes,
I could see the pain and torture, the heartache of
a mother who has had to stand helplessly by and
watch a thing she loves, a part of herself, her
own son turned into a savage. Without another word, she
turned and silently left the room.
Speaker 11 (12:37):
I'm sorry, mister Pellatin, I should have told you Carlos
was to Leda's son.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Well, I should have guessed. This must hurt her very deeply, more.
Speaker 11 (12:47):
Than anyone knows. Sometimes at night I hear her rocking
in the chair on the porch, singing a little Spanish lullaby,
the one she used to sing to Carlos and me
a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Can't something be done? I mean, couldn't he be put
somewhere and given treatment where.
Speaker 11 (13:04):
There's nothing around here? Even if he could be caught?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Well, what about the doctors? What are they saying?
Speaker 11 (13:09):
Oh, the same thing? Nothing can be done for it?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Well, still it seems hi, mister pal what is it?
Hey boy? What's wrong?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Big mansell one who tried to kill young lady?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
He outside?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
What yss off? I see him in Woodsbuckle House you
see here boy he run?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Are you sure?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Oh? Yes, off, very sure. He's come back.
Speaker 11 (13:29):
Mister Pelladin, What'll I do?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I don't know, but I do know you until ed
I can't stay here alone. Do you have an extra room?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Yes? I do?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
All right, then for your protection, myln hey boy and
I are going to stay here tonight and now here
are Edgar Berghen and Charlie McCarthy beggin.
Speaker 13 (13:56):
When I'm old enough to drive, Can I have the car?
Not unless you learn to care for it properly, Charlie, Oh,
I'm a genius with a monkey range. The kids in
our blocks say, if Chronic can't fix your car, there's
something wrong with it.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
And I suppose you have a car.
Speaker 13 (14:10):
Yeah, let's make it a carvet, a conservative red with
yellow stripes. The color is not important, but if it's
any GM car or truck, you should take it to
your General Motors dealer for service. Oh sure, I know. Oh,
and what do you ask for a credit? Guardian maintenance?
Do you know what guardian maintenance means? It's the story
of my life like you are my guardian and I
(14:32):
maintain you.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
No.
Speaker 13 (14:34):
Guardian maintenance is expert service performed by GM trained servicemen
who have the proper tools and.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
The factory of proof parts to do the job right.
Speaker 13 (14:42):
And it's available to owners of Chevrolet cars and trucks, Pontiacs, Osmobiles, Buicks, Cadillacs,
and GMC trucks and red carvettes with yellow stripes.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Missa Palladin, you want a couple of coffee too?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
And no, no, thank you?
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Hey boy?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Oh, hey boy, not like fishy tip.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I want to go back to San Francisco. Yeah, I'm
sorry it turned out this way, hey boy, but we
we can't go back just now.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
No, somebody have on a happy doggie.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
No, that's a coyote.
Speaker 10 (15:28):
Hey boy.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
There's a full moon tonight, so you'll hear a lot
of them.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Not a good sound make, hey boy, spine tickle.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah. I think I go take a look around outside
before turning in. I'll be back in a few minutes.
Speaker 11 (15:45):
You be careful.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
This big crazy man may be waiting outside to kill you.
Remember you have knife, I remember.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Huh oh, Mylene, I thought you were in bed.
Speaker 11 (16:04):
I was, but I heard to Leda to Leeda. She's
on the porch again, rocking and singing. Come here by
the window. She knows Carlos is around. I think she
wants him.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
To hear her.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
She shouldn't be out there alone. I know I'm going out.
Speaker 11 (16:28):
How come with you? The moon is bright tonight.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Toaleda see.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
He should be in bed, little one.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
And to Leeda, you mind if I look around a
little I think it might be a good idea.
Speaker 12 (16:53):
I cannot control your actions, Senor Paladin.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Perhaps it'd be better if you and my lane went
back in the house.
Speaker 12 (17:01):
We will wait on the porch for your singer, Paladin.
Then we will all go back in the.
Speaker 10 (17:06):

Speaker 1 (02:25):
That's right, we use them for bait.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Hey boy, not like little wiggly worm.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Well, there's one other way to catch fish, a boy
for he saw how well you find yourself a nice
rock out in the middle of the stream, seeing and
you crouch on it like a cat and be still,
very still.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
He saw.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Then what then after a couple of hours you might
see a fish. And when you do, you take a
deep breath, dive into that icy stream and swim after him.
If you're lucky and can hold your breath long enough,
you may catch a fish.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Hmmm, his apaladi, Yes, hey boy, you's little wiggly warm.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
That's a warning signal for all drivers, And that can
be a warning signal for drowsy drivers on long monotonous trips.
You see, driving can make you drowsy no matter how
much sleep you get, and driving and dozing just don't mix.
Why take chances? Take no Dose Stay Awake tablets millions
(03:42):
of times a year. Safe no Dose keeps drivers awake
and alert helps you bounce back so that you feel sharp,
ready for any emergency.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
How does no does do it?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Ask your doctor.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
He'll tell you that no Dose contains a safe and
accurate amount of caffeine, the same refreshing stimuch you get
in your coffee or tea, but safe no Dose acts faster,
is handier, and more reliable. Best of all, it is
not habit forming. And no Dose is so safe it
is legally sold on a national basis without a prescription.
Yet No Dose Stay Awake tablets to help you stay
(04:13):
awake and alert. It could save your life.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Hey boy and I left San Francisco and traveled south
into the Santa Lucia Mountains. The wild beauty of this
part of California was magnificent. To see the great jagged
cliffs rising towards the sky and then suddenly slashing off
and dropping into the crashing surf of the Pacific. Far below,
the heavy, untamed forest rowing at the very brink of
(04:48):
the cliffs. We turned inland and rode deep into the
Santa Lucias, searching for the mountain streams of the fort
the best fishing, and soon we had a comfortable camp
set up. The next morning, Hey boy was up with
the sun and standing on the bank of the stream fishing.
By ten o'clock he still hadn't had a strike. Hey boy,
(05:17):
Hey boy, don't you want to eat some breakfast? Hey boy,
catch you fish now? Look here. We'll be here a
whole week, and so will the fish.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Hey boy, use wiggly warm, just like you say, a
boy stealing you catchy fish?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Well, you know what I think. I think you frightened
the fish away, standing there staring at that stream the
way you are.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Oh, hey boy, wait a long time to go on
fishy trip with you?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Now? I catch you fishy? Yes? What was that so?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
I like our lady's cream? Misopolace? Come on, here's your body.
Speaker 8 (05:53):
You're there.
Speaker 9 (05:54):
Leave that girl alone, you hear me. I sent me
her alone. You you hit Carlos.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Kill, I will kill.
Speaker 8 (06:08):
No, you don't, gringo.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Dirty, you have night. You will die, Gringo with the knave.
Speaker 9 (06:18):
You'll try it. You're all right, mighty harm this girl.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
And must kill her. You must let me kill her.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I said, why do you harm this girl? Go?
Speaker 10 (06:37):
I go now?
Speaker 8 (06:39):
You will turn Carlos through there?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
You come back here, come back?
Speaker 11 (06:43):
Please let him go. Don't go after him.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Are you all right?
Speaker 11 (06:50):
Yes, yes, I think so. Who are you, Marlene Malayne Card?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
What's this all about? What happened?
Speaker 11 (06:57):
I was rounding up stray cattle. Carlos came up and
tried to kill me.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
You know this boy?
Speaker 11 (07:04):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Why would he try to kill you?
Speaker 11 (07:06):
I don't know. He's like a wild, crazy animal.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
How far do you live from here?
Speaker 11 (07:13):
About a mile?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Hey, boy, get our things together. We better see that
she gets home. All right, Lisa, Thank you mister.
Speaker 8 (07:36):
Again.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
This fall, we citizens of the United States have the
chance to demonstrate to the rest of the world the
vigor of our free institutions. But if past history be
a guide, an appallingly large percentage of Americans will not
vote in the presidential election. In the present critical world
situation and with economic problems at home, men of the
(07:58):
highest skill and capacity needed. The caliber of the officials
we elect depends on the thoughtful choice of the people
participate in this fall's elections. Contribute to your party or candidate,
work for your choices, make sure you're registered, then be
sure to take your turn at the voting booth in November.
During the months ahead, right through the excitement of election night,
(08:21):
CBS News will report all campaign developments fairly impartially completely
to help you make your decision intelligently, to make you
a fully informed voter. This November, Mylene Carter's ranch was
(08:43):
hidden in a small valley, and the heavily wooded forest
came almost to the back of the house, its tangled
undergrowth capable of hiding many things, its darkness, lonely and sinister.
We were met in the front yard by an ageless
Mexican woman who was introduced to Toeda briefly. Marlene explained
what had happened, and Taleda looked at me, her black
(09:05):
eyes strange and piercing. Marlene insisted we stay for coffee,
and after the first cup, hey boy went outside to
water the horses. By this time the girl had recovered
sufficiently to talk freely.
Speaker 11 (09:18):
Taleda and I run this ranch by ourselves, mister Paladin,
just the two of you. That's right. My mother died
when I was born, and my father died just last year.
Taleda is all I have left. She's been like a
mother to me all my life.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
But don't you have someone here to help you? In ranch? Hands?
Speaker 11 (09:36):
And no, this place is a long way from any town,
mister Paladin, and the men you can get aren't the
most desirable. I hired a couple of men once. As
soon as they found out Taleda and I lived here alone,
they began to get ideas. Taleda had to run them
off with a shotgun.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I see.
Speaker 11 (09:55):
Besides, I only run a small herd, and I can
handle cabble about as good as any man.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Well, I'm sure you can, but it seems at handling
cataly isn't your only problem. What about Carlos?
Speaker 11 (10:05):
Oh, it's terrible, terrible thing.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Who is he, mister Palladin?
Speaker 11 (10:12):
Carlos Martinez was raised right here, right on this ranch.
Speaker 8 (10:16):
Oh.
Speaker 11 (10:17):
My father always treated him like well, like he was
my brother. We grew up together. Carlos was always kind
and good until about two years ago.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
What happened, Well, there was an accident, accident.
Speaker 11 (10:33):
He was breaking a horse. The horse through and Carlos
fractured his skull. We thought he was going to die,
but he didn't. Maybe, Oh, it's a horrible thing to say,
but maybe it would have been better if he had.
Why would you say that when he got well, he
wasn't the same. How do you mean, well, he just
(10:54):
sometimes he'd get kind of wild. It was frightening. My
father couldn't control, and nobody he could. Then one day
he just disappeared.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
That it was over a year.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Ago, and you hadn't seen him again until today.
Speaker 11 (11:08):
Only once when we buried dead and we saw him
lurking in the woods. To Leda tried to go out
and talk to him, but he looked at her kind
of wild and ran off. Oh, to Leda, did mister
Powdin's friend find his way around?
Speaker 12 (11:25):
I see he's still watering the horses more coffee.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Than your Yes, thank you, Taleda. I still don't understand
why he'd want to kill you, my lene. You say
Carlos was raised on this ranch. He almost got killed
by a horse, which seemed to hurt his mind and
turn him into some kind of an animal.
Speaker 12 (11:46):
He is not an animal.
Speaker 11 (11:48):
He is a man with feelings and gentleness.
Speaker 12 (11:50):
And hurts, just like you and just like me. To Leda,
I raised him just as I rais, Signora Madline. I
rapped him to sleep when he was a child, and
I cried over him when he was please. To Leda,
I didn't tell there was nothing to hide. Tenor Paladin
should know that Carlos Martinez, he's my son.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I sat and looked at to Leeda. In her eyes,
I could see the pain and torture, the heartache of
a mother who has had to stand helplessly by and
watch a thing she loves, a part of herself, her
own son turned into a savage. Without another word, she
turned and silently left the room.
Speaker 11 (12:37):
I'm sorry, mister Pellatin, I should have told you Carlos
was to Leda's son.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Well, I should have guessed. This must hurt her very deeply, more.
Speaker 11 (12:47):
Than anyone knows. Sometimes at night I hear her rocking
in the chair on the porch, singing a little Spanish lullaby,
the one she used to sing to Carlos and me
a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Can't something be done? I mean, couldn't he be put
somewhere and given treatment where.
Speaker 11 (13:04):
There's nothing around here? Even if he could be caught?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Well, what about the doctors? What are they saying?
Speaker 11 (13:09):
Oh, the same thing? Nothing can be done for it?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Well, still it seems hi, mister pal what is it?
Hey boy? What's wrong?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Big mansell one who tried to kill young lady?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
He outside?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
What yss off? I see him in Woodsbuckle House you
see here boy he run?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Are you sure?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Oh? Yes, off, very sure. He's come back.
Speaker 11 (13:29):
Mister Pelladin, What'll I do?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I don't know, but I do know you until ed
I can't stay here alone. Do you have an extra room?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Yes? I do?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
All right, then for your protection, myln hey boy and
I are going to stay here tonight and now here
are Edgar Berghen and Charlie McCarthy beggin.
Speaker 13 (13:56):
When I'm old enough to drive, Can I have the car?
Not unless you learn to care for it properly, Charlie, Oh,
I'm a genius with a monkey range. The kids in
our blocks say, if Chronic can't fix your car, there's
something wrong with it.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
And I suppose you have a car.
Speaker 13 (14:10):
Yeah, let's make it a carvet, a conservative red with
yellow stripes. The color is not important, but if it's
any GM car or truck, you should take it to
your General Motors dealer for service. Oh sure, I know. Oh,
and what do you ask for a credit? Guardian maintenance?
Do you know what guardian maintenance means? It's the story
of my life like you are my guardian and I
(14:32):
maintain you.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
No.
Speaker 13 (14:34):
Guardian maintenance is expert service performed by GM trained servicemen
who have the proper tools and.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
The factory of proof parts to do the job right.
Speaker 13 (14:42):
And it's available to owners of Chevrolet cars and trucks, Pontiacs, Osmobiles, Buicks, Cadillacs,
and GMC trucks and red carvettes with yellow stripes.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Missa Palladin, you want a couple of coffee too?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
And no, no, thank you?
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Hey boy?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Oh, hey boy, not like fishy tip.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I want to go back to San Francisco. Yeah, I'm
sorry it turned out this way, hey boy, but we
we can't go back just now.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
No, somebody have on a happy doggie.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
No, that's a coyote.
Speaker 10 (15:28):
Hey boy.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
There's a full moon tonight, so you'll hear a lot
of them.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Not a good sound make, hey boy, spine tickle.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah. I think I go take a look around outside
before turning in. I'll be back in a few minutes.
Speaker 11 (15:45):
You be careful.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
This big crazy man may be waiting outside to kill you.
Remember you have knife, I remember.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Huh oh, Mylene, I thought you were in bed.
Speaker 11 (16:04):
I was, but I heard to Leda to Leeda. She's
on the porch again, rocking and singing. Come here by
the window. She knows Carlos is around. I think she
wants him.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
To hear her.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
She shouldn't be out there alone. I know I'm going out.
Speaker 11 (16:28):
How come with you? The moon is bright tonight.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Toaleda see.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
He should be in bed, little one.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
And to Leeda, you mind if I look around a
little I think it might be a good idea.
Speaker 12 (16:53):
I cannot control your actions, Senor Paladin.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Perhaps it'd be better if you and my lane went
back in the house.
Speaker 12 (17:01):
We will wait on the porch for your singer, Paladin.
Then we will all go back in the.
Speaker 10 (17:06):
House as you wish.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Are you hurt my back?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Get away and get back to the house.

I will kill him. Then I will kill you, Carlos.
