Speaker 1 (00:08):
In a sanctum mystery believing friends, that being a sanctum,
(00:29):
this is your host who welcome you through the squeaking
door for another half hour of lovely skills and shudders.
Or before we begin tonight, I'd like to give you
a word of its price if you should ever walk
through a cemetery at midnight and come face to face
with a tans current personality.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Floating above us too.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Don't be frighten.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
After all, you can see right through him.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Who's coming in? Another group of Weekend Warriors? Ever worked
with them before? Not really? Then you'll be surprised. Why
because most of them have been training together for years.
They know their stuff. Remember McCoy, he's a hard guy
to forget.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
He's in the reserves now. He might even be on
that Sea one forty one. Really, he was pretty good. Yeah.
So what do they do anyway?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
The reserves?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah, stay ready basically.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
For what any kind of emergency where we might get involved.
Anytime we get called into action. Yeah, the reserves can
get called right along with us or on the same mission.
Is that what they're training for? Some of them others
will be activated alongside us. That's why they train with us.
All part of the team. I guess you got it.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Active Duty Reserves, National Guard,
and DoD civilians united to preserve America's freedoms the total force.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
As a scuba diver, I know something about being in water,
but an article in Stars and Stripes described how you
can get too much water inside your body, so much
that your arteries can get soaked. But it has nothing
to do with swimming. It all has to do with sodium.
You see, the sodium and food is essential to your health.
But when you add more sodium by salting your food,
you can overdo it and that's unhealthy. Your body demands
(02:12):
water so it can dilute the excess sodium and eliminate it.
That's why you get thirsty when you eat salty foods.
And the trouble is until it's eventually released. All add
water builds up in your body, soaking your blood vessels.
The extra fluid in your blood puts more pressure on
your arteries. That can cause high blood pressure. Now I'm
used to getting soaked, but if it happened to my arteries,
(02:34):
it'd be dangerous. So high blood pressure is a leading
cause of heart attacks and strokes. Doc toll line, we
need to walk, how much sodium we eat.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Don't make too much noise, so you'll wake the dead,
and we don't want to do that. Because tonight's story
is called the Undead. It's an original radio play by
Missing Too Yes and Our Stars and either that Fema,
who plays the role of Diana.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
I was alone, hearing the tent house sleeping. The doors leaned,
the terrors were open. Suddenly I was awakened by a queer,
whirring noise that sounded like the flap of the wings.
I opened my eyes. Moonlight killed the winds. It was
one of those clear, cloudless nights that the winds mooned
(03:28):
and hollered like weeping winds. Somewhere a dog howled. I
sat up, speared into the green light of the moon.
See nothing. At first, I lay down again. My eyes
were heart closed, and I heard it again, the sound
(03:49):
of wings beating on their told myself it was nothing,
until out of the queer green shadows that surrounded me
like a midst, I saw a pair of blood red
eyes close to my face. No, they weren't humanized. The
rim be green, and they glittered thy glass in the dark.
I looked closer. She frightened the moon, too terrified to
(04:12):
cry out. The thing that seemed to be flying down
my head and looked like a bat, said it wasn't
a bat. Suddenly it throwed it down. I felt far
fur on my neck, and I froke with fierce for
the shop. They started tween me hit me go ht
me go.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Go on, Diana.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
When I felt their arms around me, I knew I
was safe, Richard. But it was the most horrible thraing
I the hut.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yes, I know, I know, Darling, you were in tan.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
What do you think it?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Nothing? Nothing? Of course did Everyone's nice, man, It's like
that sometimes running.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
But it was so witten I could almost swear it
happened just as I told it to you.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Diana, do you rarely believe you've encountered a vampire?
Speaker 7 (04:58):
I know it. It's ridiculous stories.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
Listen, baby, you're living in New York City on top
of an eighteen story building. This is nineteen forty five,
not the Middle Ages.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
But the whole notion is just rubbish.
Speaker 7 (05:10):
I tried to tell myself it was nonsense too, But somehow, oh, Richard,
I want to get out of this place. But why
I don't like this apartment, that there's something evil sinister here.
I've always tell it, and listen and listen to that wind,
the wind howl around here all the time.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Naturally it's a penthouse and it catches the winds from
the river.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
To hear that somebody clapping on the terry, that's just
the awning. They're always queer noises around me all the time.
And I can't say anything alone here to night, mister. Please,
I want to be saying here alone tonight.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I can't stay with you, Darning. I've gone to go
to this.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
I want you to go there. Please, let's let you
up the steady, take the part tonight. Take me away
from here, go away when it's warm.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Than the Sunday, Diana. You don't know what you're saying. Then,
I can't give up my part in the show.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
Who's court Cood, I'm darling. Forgive me, please, I'm I'm sorry.
I haven't mentioned it. You do forgive me, don't you, Richard?
Say you do?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Wise course, you're just upset on this silly dream.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
I know, I know. I I won't mention it again.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
You're okay, baby, Well it's time to wait. I better
get going. Wanna come with me?
Speaker 7 (06:17):
Yes? No, Well, I'm gonna stay here.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
But at this place brightens you nothing.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
That's why I'm gonna stay and alone. I'm gonna beat
this thing somehow.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
That's that, darl Ain't much better hit your coat right, and.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
And you better take your scarf. It it feels chilly, Richard, MM,
I said, I won't mention it again. But there's one
thing more. I have to tell you that the face
of that thing in my dream, it was your.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Face, Diana in the neighbor.
Speaker 7 (06:48):
I won't talk of it anymore, I promise you, Darling.
I didn't need to upset you that before you went
to the theater. Just just kiss me there. I'll be
all right. I'll be all right, Diana. And an idea.
I'll be waiting when you get back. It was just midnight.
(07:11):
Two nights later. I was waiting for Richard to come
home from the theater. I was going through his desk
looking for a postage stamp, and I found something that
turned my blood to ice. It was a newspaper clipping
they did ten years ago, the picture of a man
and under it the caption prominent real estate operator Richard
(07:36):
Barker found dead of a sudden stroke. I looked at
the picture again. There could be no doubt of it.
It was Richard. I lived further. The deceased will be
buried at Woodlawn Bring Lawn Cemetery up the services in
the Western fun.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Screaming now, you seemed startled.
Speaker 7 (07:59):
I I didn't hear you come in.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Have you been brooding again?
Speaker 7 (08:03):
No? What you're of course not?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
How do you feel tonight?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Not?
Speaker 7 (08:09):
Not very well?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
We we sleepy else will no wonder you hardly been
eating a thing? I know that you never can't a
wink of speed.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
I told you I can't sleep in the day time
as you do as you do.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Why are you staring at me like that?
Speaker 7 (08:25):
Why why do you sleep in the daytime?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I've been doing it for years?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yes? What's so terrible about that? Most theatrical people do.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
We live and work?
Speaker 7 (08:35):
It's not yes, yes, I know?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Really, Diana, U, what is the matter with you?
Speaker 7 (08:40):
Nothing? You you think I'm losing my mind?
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Well? I don't know what the thing?
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Why are you pretending?
Speaker 3 (08:46):
You're pretending what but just something other than what you are?
Speaker 7 (08:50):
Because I know what you aren't you?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Red?
Speaker 7 (08:51):
I don't know this clipping, I said in your dad,
it tells how you die.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
That clipping all that why I left him.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
What do you see? It's a joke.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
It's the gag one of my pictures will send to
the papers publicity for a new player, you know, and
the drunken typester put it in the obituary column. It's
quite an amusing story.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
I don't believe you. You're lying.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
You can't go on like, don't touch me, You're not
well done away from me. I just want to don't
don't don't don't touch me, Diana? Where are you going?
I'm here, Diana, come back.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
I'll come back. And I proved something to myself. Is
there anyone there?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
What do you want, ma'am?
Speaker 7 (09:42):
I'm sorry to wake you up. Are you the caretaker here?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Has been on many a man?
Speaker 7 (09:47):
I I want to see the grave of Richard Barker.
Wha Diana Barker, his wife?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
That is just one in the morning with I know.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
What time it is. I I want to see the
gra he did.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
No one comes at the time like this.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
Please? Will you tell me?
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (10:04):
Perhaps fis will him in earnest for disturbing you?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
All right? You take the pathing back of my house.
Tender direct the flash, and I brought one from the car.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
It's only a.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Short wave, but it isn't a grave man. It a sort.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Of a doom.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
Thank you, I'll find it too.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
You want me to come with you?
Speaker 7 (10:23):
No, I uh troubled you enough, And I did night
somewhere and I always held him and so warning me
not to go on with this insane adventure. But I
knew I had to continue. I had to be certain.
(10:44):
I followed these directions along the path of the cemetery.
The moon pop yellow fingers through scudding clouds, as thought,
showing me the way I was fighting terror flights. There's
nothing to fear from the day, kept telling myself. I
had to keep up my courage the dead. That's they
(11:06):
were right. There was nothing to fear from men. But
the under there was a tomb. The inscription was clear.
Here lies Richard Barker born May seventh, eighteen ninety died
September fourth, nineteen thirty five. There was a lock on
(11:31):
the door. It was old and rusty. I'd come this far,
I made up my mind. I picked up a stone,
smashed the lock, I opened the door. Blackness, inky blackness,
(11:52):
such as one imagines one would see at the end
of the world. Turned on the flashlight I took from
the car. Coffin was lying at the center of the
tomb on an order. I felt my heart beating wildly.
I got throbbing drum inside me. With a trending hand,
(12:12):
I opened the coffins. I looked down on a ghastly
white satin lining. That was all they want in the coffin.
There was nothing else. It was empty. I looked up.
There was a face staring at in the shadows of
(12:35):
the tomb.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
It was Rich died h. I knew you'd come here.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Friends. That just goes to show that an empty coffin
makes the most annoyse.
Speaker 7 (13:02):
Hey, Bobby, turn looking down.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Sure, what do you don't thinking?
Speaker 8 (13:05):
That's what?
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Oh thinking?
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Wow?
Speaker 7 (13:08):
Tell mister jerk, Bobby, you should try it some time.
Speaker 8 (13:10):
Touchy, touchy?
Speaker 7 (13:11):
So what are you thinking about about college? I'm thinking
about going to college. You I never figured you for
the college type.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Oh yeah, what's that?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Listen?
Speaker 6 (13:19):
I want to be what I want to be, do
what I want to do, not what other people think
I ought to do.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
And I can make it in college.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
I know I can keep going, keep growing in college.
Your message from this radio station in the college board.
Hi John, Hello, what are you studying? Oh? Well, I'm
studying to become a naturalized citizen.
Speaker 7 (13:37):
Oh is it difficult?
Speaker 6 (13:39):
Well, you need to know about American history, government, and
the Constitution.

Then I guess you also know that as a service
member in good standing, you could get special consideration for
naturalization special consideration mm hmm, And that if you need
to know more, you can check with your personal author.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I knew that you see what diapradicular w o ian
and I, oh, yeah, Diana has just discovered that her
husband was wandering around his tomb. What would you do
in a situation like that? Here's what Diana did.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
I ran blindly, somebling, tearing my clothes somehow, and managed
to read the car, stopping in the car. I knew
it wasn't awesome dreams people didn't connect with didn't they
could say, I know the a sitian. I wanted to
see the white people hear music. I wanted to be
sure this was the boom I'd always known. I tried
(14:45):
to think, I tried to read. I tried to understand
what had happened to me because I knew something. What's
happened to me? Something that I'd read it? I was
becoming like like then, like Richard. I've felt framed, craving
(15:12):
because eyes that I didn't they haven't come. Excuse me,
missus arc huh oh M.

Speaker 7 (15:19):

Speaker 7 (15:24):
Does it make any difference, Well, no, it doesn't. Please
sit down, Thank you. I'm glad you came over. I'm
I'm glad to be able to talk to anyone tonight.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I've been watching you for the last ten minutes.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
Have you?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
You all look very strange tonight?
Speaker 7 (15:44):
How do you know me?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
We all know each other.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
We yes, you realize you would be dead soon, that
at least what they call dead.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
You you know what's happened.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Oh yes, of course I've seen it happening for weeks.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
Your face became.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Paler and sailor.
Speaker 8 (16:08):
It will not be long now you.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Will become one of us.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
I don't want you.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
It's not in your hand.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
It isn't true. It can't be true.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
It's quite true.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
Many of us have gone on for hundreds of years.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Those who is this thing become vir and I there
is no escape.
Speaker 7 (16:27):
No, I don't believe it.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Don't you see it?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
But that strange desire.
Speaker 8 (16:36):
Yes, their you see.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
I don't want you.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
I once trying to fight it too.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
It's no use.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
I'm going away. Stay well, you can't reach me. I'm
going nowhere. I'm wa waiter. Will you help me? There's
been an accident.
Speaker 10 (17:00):
Oh, everything's gonna be alright, Diana. I just lie here
and reds quietly.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
You're in your own home. I opened my eyes and
saw Claudia, my older sister. Never was so glad to
see anyone in all my life. Claudia had always helped me,
always advised me. She didn't know what to do, want
something to do? No, I'm not hungry, but the doctor
said you'd have to eat. How did I get here?
You collapsed in my cocktail lounge. They brought you home when.
Speaker 10 (17:28):
Last night it's darker.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
You've been sleeping almost twenty four hours.
Speaker 10 (17:33):
Whereas Richard at the theater, poor boy, he was so
worried about you. Was he me sent for me?
Speaker 7 (17:40):
I'd been with you last night.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
I know what happened, but.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
It's terribly difficult to explain. I I sometimes think I'm
breathing my mind i'd I'd be sure that's what it is,
if I if I hadn't found out differently, tell me
about it. I I found out Richard had dead. He's
been dead for ten years. What are you talking about.
I went to Green North, I saw it toom. I
opened it the coffin with him, Diane, I know what
you're thinking, but I'm not insane. He never sleeps at night.
(18:06):
Now I feel this strange cravy Crdia, don't steal you
know what your st I know it sounds wild, fantastic,
but I haven't told this to anyone. But it's true.
There are things in this world you only think of
primitive superstitions. But Claudia, you must believe me. Yes, of
course I believe you. We might destroy Richard. I've read
about those things we mist destroying by goding a wooden
stakes through his heart. That's the only way I can
(18:26):
escape from him. That's the only way I can become
a human being.
Speaker 10 (18:28):
Diana, you will help me, Claudius, of course, dear haven, I.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
Always help you where you're going. Don't do six you something? No, No,
you're gonna leave me, leave me here alone with him.
I won't let you do that, Claudia, that gun. Where
did you get that gun? We've always had one here
ever since I first told Richard I was afraid of
this place. You're not gonna leave me alone now, Cladia,
I'm not gonna let you, of course, get away from
that door. That's what you want to come back? Insane?
(18:58):
She was so sure I was insane. He didn't even
give me a chance to explain. I was alone in
the house. I felt terribly weaker.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Wanted to sleep.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
I wanted to sleep forever and ever. But I knew
if I lay down and closed my eyes, I might
never open them again, never open them and see the
world as you or I used to. I'd I'd be
something else. I looked at the clock almost of the night,
(19:29):
but it would be coming back in the minutes. I'd
entered the door, locked it from the inside of the
safety box. What to do? What to do? Please have
ended the telephone, I co operate to get me the police.
And hurry, please hurry when you this is a matter
of life and death. No way you're reading them. Please
(19:55):
you got to help me. My husband, he's gonna do
something to me tonight. He's gonna make me what he
is that lady. He's been dead for ten years. I
saw his empty coffin. That's proof, isn't it. That's evident.
You always what evidence, and there it is. Now do
you understand? I'm what's your name, Bana Barker?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
But all right, right right now, calm down.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
I oh you think I'm been saying too? Don't you say?
You think I'm crazy? That's as Claudia does. What do you?
I don't believe what I know.
Speaker 10 (20:28):
I knew it wasn't it.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
What's his key in the lock? He can't open it.
It's both new time. He's trying to get in, but
he can't. Not for that boat. I won't open it.
I won't. I just betend my don't hear I'll cover
my years up my hands and I won't hear it.
He can't get in here. If I can keep him out,
still say that I'll be safe toocking the door. Bill stop.
(21:00):
And now you hadn't gone away. I could feel them
near me. But he couldn't get in. No, he couldn't
get into the penthouse. There was no way to get
in unless you can put the terrace. And there was
no way to get on the terrace as he could
fly fly, so I went between me. When I turned
to look at the French doors lean into the terrace,
there was a poet. He couldn't and first open the
(21:21):
wind blew to the house like a cyclone. They had
playing with the double doors.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Why didn't you.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
Let me in? How did you get out of the tent?
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Never mind all you're going with that gud Diana.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
I don't go away, Go away and leave me alone.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Give me that gun. No, I'm warning you, Diana.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
You're let's give it if.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
You think that must get toward me.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Up, Diana, I'm.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
You see the bullets they didn't come. You know I
didn't need no kept it.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
You see it didn't do any good.
Speaker 7 (21:57):
Who are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (21:58):
I'm going to put an end to this once and
for all, Diana, And and I prepared for this. And
I have a knife. You see this, ray, Diana, you
won't quite die. Jo here, Diana, you're making too much
trouble while you're alive.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
I saw the knife over my truck. I beat it
his chest with every pistol. Then, just before everything became black,
I saw three flashes of lightning.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Go on missus Barker.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
When I woke up in the hospital, Inspector, I couldn't
believe that I was still alive. It it seemed like
a miracle.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
He would have been dead.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
He wasn't for your sister, Claudia. She came back with
one of our men. He shot and killed your husband
just as he was about to plunge the bagger into you.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
But how did he get in?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
He came over the adjoining terrace from the penthouse next door,
just as your husband did. No, Missus Barker, your husband
didn't fly.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
But the other things that, the picture of the tomb,
that the empty.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Coffin, all props for an elaborate scheme your husband worked
out to murder you. Richard Barker is not an uncommon name,
if not, a man with that name or died.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Ten years ago. He removed the body.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
He got the whole idea from the.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Dream you told him.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
But why to establish that you were insane? Uh?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
He planned to murder you and.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Claim he did it in self defense to protect himself
against an insane woman. But the gun filled with blanks.
He wanted to get your money, Missus Barker. But look
the way I felt, the strained craving you're suffering from anemia. Said,
doctor told us that it's not uncommon for anemia sufferers
to feel the way you did.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
I still can't believe it. I I still feel that
he isn't quite dead.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
I will relieve that there right now, his body's in
the other room.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I think you should see it.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Come this way, missus Barker.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
There Reddy's gonna with the Charlie.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Yes, inspect you.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
What's the matter he He looks the life like his
lips so ready. He looks as though he could move
get up at any minute.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Nonsense, I assure you he's quite that, Missus Parker. And
I can further assure you that the police Department has
never encountered one authentic vampire in its history.
Speaker 7 (24:23):
Yeah, you're very reassuring, Inspector. I think i'd better leave now.
Don't bother to see here the do right?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Oh, Charlie, cover him up and have 'em buried him? Okay,
inspect you?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Like, what is it, Charlie?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
It's fix em. Maybe I'm nuts, but I I I
I could swear to a sign.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Nonsense, cause lyn.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Uh, it's getting dark, Charlie, aren't sure?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Go down quick? These one of days. I'm going home.
Good night, Kelly, old friends, do you think Richard is
(25:17):
really dead?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
That's something for you to sleep on when you go
to bed tonight. Oh and by the way, we have
a moral for tonight's story. Yes, he's taken from a
diary of Miss Delirium Treatman, who once said, never marry
a vampire. He may turn out to be five hundred
years old without a Social Security number to his name.
How can a girl have any fun going around with
(25:40):
a guy like that?
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Hey, sire, how about that?
Speaker 7 (25:45):
Sure?
Speaker 6 (25:46):
Come on?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Oh, I have to stop by the exchange.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
The whole problem. Buckle up, will you?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I'll pass?
Speaker 7 (25:53):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Come on?
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Use seat belts all day on base? What's so different now?
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Now?
Speaker 4 (25:57):
I don't have to? You mean you only wear seat
belts because you have to. I don't like them. If
you like them being held down, it can save your life.
Sure between here and the exchange, Hey, most accidents happen
close to where we work or live. Enough already are
we going or not?
Speaker 3 (26:14):
All right?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Would you wear your seat belt for me?
Speaker 6 (26:17):
What I just read that something like, oh, fourth of
all serious injuries are caused by people being thrown against
each other.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
So do it for me? Will you?
Speaker 4 (26:25):
In a crash where all like human missiles.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
Huh right, consider this missile disarmed on base and off.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Buckle your seat belts
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Good night, pleasant three mm h
In a sanctum mystery believing friends, that being a sanctum,
(00:29):
this is your host who welcome you through the squeaking
door for another half hour of lovely skills and shudders.
Or before we begin tonight, I'd like to give you
a word of its price if you should ever walk
through a cemetery at midnight and come face to face
with a tans current personality.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Floating above us too.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Don't be frighten.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
After all, you can see right through him.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Who's coming in? Another group of Weekend Warriors? Ever worked
with them before? Not really? Then you'll be surprised. Why
because most of them have been training together for years.
They know their stuff. Remember McCoy, he's a hard guy
to forget.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
He's in the reserves now. He might even be on
that Sea one forty one. Really, he was pretty good. Yeah.
So what do they do anyway?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
The reserves?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah, stay ready basically.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
For what any kind of emergency where we might get involved.
Anytime we get called into action. Yeah, the reserves can
get called right along with us or on the same mission.
Is that what they're training for? Some of them others
will be activated alongside us. That's why they train with us.
All part of the team. I guess you got it.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Active Duty Reserves, National Guard,
and DoD civilians united to preserve America's freedoms the total force.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
As a scuba diver, I know something about being in water,
but an article in Stars and Stripes described how you
can get too much water inside your body, so much
that your arteries can get soaked. But it has nothing
to do with swimming. It all has to do with sodium.
You see, the sodium and food is essential to your health.
But when you add more sodium by salting your food,
you can overdo it and that's unhealthy. Your body demands
(02:12):
water so it can dilute the excess sodium and eliminate it.
That's why you get thirsty when you eat salty foods.
And the trouble is until it's eventually released. All add
water builds up in your body, soaking your blood vessels.
The extra fluid in your blood puts more pressure on
your arteries. That can cause high blood pressure. Now I'm
used to getting soaked, but if it happened to my arteries,
(02:34):
it'd be dangerous. So high blood pressure is a leading
cause of heart attacks and strokes. Doc toll line, we
need to walk, how much sodium we eat.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Don't make too much noise, so you'll wake the dead,
and we don't want to do that. Because tonight's story
is called the Undead. It's an original radio play by
Missing Too Yes and Our Stars and either that Fema,
who plays the role of Diana.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
I was alone, hearing the tent house sleeping. The doors leaned,
the terrors were open. Suddenly I was awakened by a queer,
whirring noise that sounded like the flap of the wings.
I opened my eyes. Moonlight killed the winds. It was
one of those clear, cloudless nights that the winds mooned
(03:28):
and hollered like weeping winds. Somewhere a dog howled. I
sat up, speared into the green light of the moon.
See nothing. At first, I lay down again. My eyes
were heart closed, and I heard it again, the sound
(03:49):
of wings beating on their told myself it was nothing,
until out of the queer green shadows that surrounded me
like a midst, I saw a pair of blood red
eyes close to my face. No, they weren't humanized. The
rim be green, and they glittered thy glass in the dark.
I looked closer. She frightened the moon, too terrified to
(04:12):
cry out. The thing that seemed to be flying down
my head and looked like a bat, said it wasn't
a bat. Suddenly it throwed it down. I felt far
fur on my neck, and I froke with fierce for
the shop. They started tween me hit me go ht
me go.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Go on, Diana.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
When I felt their arms around me, I knew I
was safe, Richard. But it was the most horrible thraing
I the hut.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yes, I know, I know, Darling, you were in tan.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
What do you think it?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Nothing? Nothing? Of course did Everyone's nice, man, It's like
that sometimes running.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
But it was so witten I could almost swear it
happened just as I told it to you.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Diana, do you rarely believe you've encountered a vampire?
Speaker 7 (04:58):
I know it. It's ridiculous stories.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
Listen, baby, you're living in New York City on top
of an eighteen story building. This is nineteen forty five,
not the Middle Ages.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
But the whole notion is just rubbish.
Speaker 7 (05:10):
I tried to tell myself it was nonsense too, But somehow, oh, Richard,
I want to get out of this place. But why
I don't like this apartment, that there's something evil sinister here.
I've always tell it, and listen and listen to that wind,
the wind howl around here all the time.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Naturally it's a penthouse and it catches the winds from
the river.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
To hear that somebody clapping on the terry, that's just
the awning. They're always queer noises around me all the time.
And I can't say anything alone here to night, mister. Please,
I want to be saying here alone tonight.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I can't stay with you, Darning. I've gone to go
to this.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
I want you to go there. Please, let's let you
up the steady, take the part tonight. Take me away
from here, go away when it's warm.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Than the Sunday, Diana. You don't know what you're saying. Then,
I can't give up my part in the show.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
Who's court Cood, I'm darling. Forgive me, please, I'm I'm sorry.
I haven't mentioned it. You do forgive me, don't you, Richard?
Say you do?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Wise course, you're just upset on this silly dream.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
I know, I know. I I won't mention it again.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
You're okay, baby, Well it's time to wait. I better
get going. Wanna come with me?
Speaker 7 (06:17):
Yes? No, Well, I'm gonna stay here.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
But at this place brightens you nothing.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
That's why I'm gonna stay and alone. I'm gonna beat
this thing somehow.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
That's that, darl Ain't much better hit your coat right, and.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
And you better take your scarf. It it feels chilly, Richard, MM,
I said, I won't mention it again. But there's one
thing more. I have to tell you that the face
of that thing in my dream, it was your.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Face, Diana in the neighbor.
Speaker 7 (06:48):
I won't talk of it anymore, I promise you, Darling.
I didn't need to upset you that before you went
to the theater. Just just kiss me there. I'll be
all right. I'll be all right, Diana. And an idea.
I'll be waiting when you get back. It was just midnight.
(07:11):
Two nights later. I was waiting for Richard to come
home from the theater. I was going through his desk
looking for a postage stamp, and I found something that
turned my blood to ice. It was a newspaper clipping
they did ten years ago, the picture of a man
and under it the caption prominent real estate operator Richard
(07:36):
Barker found dead of a sudden stroke. I looked at
the picture again. There could be no doubt of it.
It was Richard. I lived further. The deceased will be
buried at Woodlawn Bring Lawn Cemetery up the services in
the Western fun.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Screaming now, you seemed startled.
Speaker 7 (07:59):
I I didn't hear you come in.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Have you been brooding again?
Speaker 7 (08:03):
No? What you're of course not?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
How do you feel tonight?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Not?
Speaker 7 (08:09):
Not very well?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
We we sleepy else will no wonder you hardly been
eating a thing? I know that you never can't a
wink of speed.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
I told you I can't sleep in the day time
as you do as you do.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Why are you staring at me like that?
Speaker 7 (08:25):
Why why do you sleep in the daytime?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I've been doing it for years?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yes? What's so terrible about that? Most theatrical people do.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
We live and work?
Speaker 7 (08:35):
It's not yes, yes, I know?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Really, Diana, U, what is the matter with you?
Speaker 7 (08:40):
Nothing? You you think I'm losing my mind?
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Well? I don't know what the thing?
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Why are you pretending?
Speaker 3 (08:46):
You're pretending what but just something other than what you are?
Speaker 7 (08:50):
Because I know what you aren't you?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Red?
Speaker 7 (08:51):
I don't know this clipping, I said in your dad,
it tells how you die.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
That clipping all that why I left him.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
What do you see? It's a joke.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
It's the gag one of my pictures will send to
the papers publicity for a new player, you know, and
the drunken typester put it in the obituary column. It's
quite an amusing story.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
I don't believe you. You're lying.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
You can't go on like, don't touch me, You're not
well done away from me. I just want to don't
don't don't don't touch me, Diana? Where are you going?
I'm here, Diana, come back.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
I'll come back. And I proved something to myself. Is
there anyone there?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
What do you want, ma'am?
Speaker 7 (09:42):
I'm sorry to wake you up. Are you the caretaker here?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Has been on many a man?
Speaker 7 (09:47):
I I want to see the grave of Richard Barker.
Wha Diana Barker, his wife?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
That is just one in the morning with I know.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
What time it is. I I want to see the
gra he did.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
No one comes at the time like this.
Speaker 7 (10:02):
Please? Will you tell me?
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (10:04):
Perhaps fis will him in earnest for disturbing you?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
All right? You take the pathing back of my house.
Tender direct the flash, and I brought one from the car.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
It's only a.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Short wave, but it isn't a grave man. It a sort.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Of a doom.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
Thank you, I'll find it too.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
You want me to come with you?
Speaker 7 (10:23):
No, I uh troubled you enough, And I did night
somewhere and I always held him and so warning me
not to go on with this insane adventure. But I
knew I had to continue. I had to be certain.
(10:44):
I followed these directions along the path of the cemetery.
The moon pop yellow fingers through scudding clouds, as thought,
showing me the way I was fighting terror flights. There's
nothing to fear from the day, kept telling myself. I
had to keep up my courage the dead. That's they
(11:06):
were right. There was nothing to fear from men. But
the under there was a tomb. The inscription was clear.
Here lies Richard Barker born May seventh, eighteen ninety died
September fourth, nineteen thirty five. There was a lock on
(11:31):
the door. It was old and rusty. I'd come this far,
I made up my mind. I picked up a stone,
smashed the lock, I opened the door. Blackness, inky blackness,
(11:52):
such as one imagines one would see at the end
of the world. Turned on the flashlight I took from
the car. Coffin was lying at the center of the
tomb on an order. I felt my heart beating wildly.
I got throbbing drum inside me. With a trending hand,
(12:12):
I opened the coffins. I looked down on a ghastly
white satin lining. That was all they want in the coffin.
There was nothing else. It was empty. I looked up.
There was a face staring at in the shadows of
(12:35):
the tomb.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
It was Rich died h. I knew you'd come here.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Friends. That just goes to show that an empty coffin
makes the most annoyse.
Speaker 7 (13:02):
Hey, Bobby, turn looking down.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Sure, what do you don't thinking?
Speaker 8 (13:05):
That's what?
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Oh thinking?
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Wow?
Speaker 7 (13:08):
Tell mister jerk, Bobby, you should try it some time.
Speaker 8 (13:10):
Touchy, touchy?
Speaker 7 (13:11):
So what are you thinking about about college? I'm thinking
about going to college. You I never figured you for
the college type.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Oh yeah, what's that?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Listen?
Speaker 6 (13:19):
I want to be what I want to be, do
what I want to do, not what other people think
I ought to do.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
And I can make it in college.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
I know I can keep going, keep growing in college.
Your message from this radio station in the college board.
Hi John, Hello, what are you studying? Oh? Well, I'm
studying to become a naturalized citizen.
Speaker 7 (13:37):
Oh is it difficult?
Speaker 6 (13:39):
Well, you need to know about American history, government, and
the Constitution.
Speaker 9 (13:43):
Then I guess you also know that as a service
member in good standing, you could get special consideration for
naturalization special consideration mm hmm, And that if you need
to know more, you can check with your personal author.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I knew that you see what diapradicular w o ian
and I, oh, yeah, Diana has just discovered that her
husband was wandering around his tomb. What would you do
in a situation like that? Here's what Diana did.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
I ran blindly, somebling, tearing my clothes somehow, and managed
to read the car, stopping in the car. I knew
it wasn't awesome dreams people didn't connect with didn't they
could say, I know the a sitian. I wanted to
see the white people hear music. I wanted to be
sure this was the boom I'd always known. I tried
(14:45):
to think, I tried to read. I tried to understand
what had happened to me because I knew something. What's
happened to me? Something that I'd read it? I was
becoming like like then, like Richard. I've felt framed, craving
(15:12):
because eyes that I didn't they haven't come. Excuse me,
missus arc huh oh M.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
May I sit with you?
Speaker 7 (15:19):

Perhaps not?
Speaker 7 (15:24):
Does it make any difference, Well, no, it doesn't. Please
sit down, Thank you. I'm glad you came over. I'm
I'm glad to be able to talk to anyone tonight.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I've been watching you for the last ten minutes.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
Have you?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
You all look very strange tonight?
Speaker 7 (15:44):
How do you know me?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
We all know each other.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
We yes, you realize you would be dead soon, that
at least what they call dead.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
You you know what's happened.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Oh yes, of course I've seen it happening for weeks.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
Your face became.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Paler and sailor.
Speaker 8 (16:08):
It will not be long now you.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Will become one of us.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
I don't want you.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
It's not in your hand.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
It isn't true. It can't be true.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
It's quite true.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
Many of us have gone on for hundreds of years.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Those who is this thing become vir and I there
is no escape.
Speaker 7 (16:27):
No, I don't believe it.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Don't you see it?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
But that strange desire.
Speaker 8 (16:36):
Yes, their you see.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
I don't want you.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
I once trying to fight it too.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
It's no use.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
I'm going away. Stay well, you can't reach me. I'm
going nowhere. I'm wa waiter. Will you help me? There's
been an accident.
Speaker 10 (17:00):
Oh, everything's gonna be alright, Diana. I just lie here
and reds quietly.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
You're in your own home. I opened my eyes and
saw Claudia, my older sister. Never was so glad to
see anyone in all my life. Claudia had always helped me,
always advised me. She didn't know what to do, want
something to do? No, I'm not hungry, but the doctor
said you'd have to eat. How did I get here?
You collapsed in my cocktail lounge. They brought you home when.
Speaker 10 (17:28):
Last night it's darker.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
You've been sleeping almost twenty four hours.
Speaker 10 (17:33):
Whereas Richard at the theater, poor boy, he was so
worried about you. Was he me sent for me?
Speaker 7 (17:40):
I'd been with you last night.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
I know what happened, but.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
It's terribly difficult to explain. I I sometimes think I'm
breathing my mind i'd I'd be sure that's what it is,
if I if I hadn't found out differently, tell me
about it. I I found out Richard had dead. He's
been dead for ten years. What are you talking about.
I went to Green North, I saw it toom. I
opened it the coffin with him, Diane, I know what
you're thinking, but I'm not insane. He never sleeps at night.
(18:06):
Now I feel this strange cravy Crdia, don't steal you
know what your st I know it sounds wild, fantastic,
but I haven't told this to anyone. But it's true.
There are things in this world you only think of
primitive superstitions. But Claudia, you must believe me. Yes, of
course I believe you. We might destroy Richard. I've read
about those things we mist destroying by goding a wooden
stakes through his heart. That's the only way I can
(18:26):
escape from him. That's the only way I can become
a human being.
Speaker 10 (18:28):
Diana, you will help me, Claudius, of course, dear haven, I.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
Always help you where you're going. Don't do six you something? No, No,
you're gonna leave me, leave me here alone with him.
I won't let you do that, Claudia, that gun. Where
did you get that gun? We've always had one here
ever since I first told Richard I was afraid of
this place. You're not gonna leave me alone now, Cladia,
I'm not gonna let you, of course, get away from
that door. That's what you want to come back? Insane?
(18:58):
She was so sure I was insane. He didn't even
give me a chance to explain. I was alone in
the house. I felt terribly weaker.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Wanted to sleep.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
I wanted to sleep forever and ever. But I knew
if I lay down and closed my eyes, I might
never open them again, never open them and see the
world as you or I used to. I'd I'd be
something else. I looked at the clock almost of the night,
(19:29):
but it would be coming back in the minutes. I'd
entered the door, locked it from the inside of the
safety box. What to do? What to do? Please have
ended the telephone, I co operate to get me the police.
And hurry, please hurry when you this is a matter
of life and death. No way you're reading them. Please
(19:55):
you got to help me. My husband, he's gonna do
something to me tonight. He's gonna make me what he
is that lady. He's been dead for ten years. I
saw his empty coffin. That's proof, isn't it. That's evident.
You always what evidence, and there it is. Now do
you understand? I'm what's your name, Bana Barker?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
But all right, right right now, calm down.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
I oh you think I'm been saying too? Don't you say?
You think I'm crazy? That's as Claudia does. What do you?
I don't believe what I know.
Speaker 10 (20:28):
I knew it wasn't it.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
What's his key in the lock? He can't open it.
It's both new time. He's trying to get in, but
he can't. Not for that boat. I won't open it.
I won't. I just betend my don't hear I'll cover
my years up my hands and I won't hear it.
He can't get in here. If I can keep him out,
still say that I'll be safe toocking the door. Bill stop.
(21:00):
And now you hadn't gone away. I could feel them
near me. But he couldn't get in. No, he couldn't
get into the penthouse. There was no way to get
in unless you can put the terrace. And there was
no way to get on the terrace as he could
fly fly, so I went between me. When I turned
to look at the French doors lean into the terrace,
there was a poet. He couldn't and first open the
(21:21):
wind blew to the house like a cyclone. They had
playing with the double doors.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Why didn't you.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
Let me in? How did you get out of the tent?
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Never mind all you're going with that gud Diana.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
I don't go away, Go away and leave me alone.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Give me that gun. No, I'm warning you, Diana.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
You're let's give it if.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
You think that must get toward me.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Up, Diana, I'm.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
You see the bullets they didn't come. You know I
didn't need no kept it.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
You see it didn't do any good.
Speaker 7 (21:57):
Who are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (21:58):
I'm going to put an end to this once and
for all, Diana, And and I prepared for this. And
I have a knife. You see this, ray, Diana, you
won't quite die. Jo here, Diana, you're making too much
trouble while you're alive.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
I saw the knife over my truck. I beat it
his chest with every pistol. Then, just before everything became black,
I saw three flashes of lightning.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Go on missus Barker.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
When I woke up in the hospital, Inspector, I couldn't
believe that I was still alive. It it seemed like
a miracle.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
He would have been dead.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
He wasn't for your sister, Claudia. She came back with
one of our men. He shot and killed your husband
just as he was about to plunge the bagger into you.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
But how did he get in?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
He came over the adjoining terrace from the penthouse next door,
just as your husband did. No, Missus Barker, your husband
didn't fly.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
But the other things that, the picture of the tomb,
that the empty.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Coffin, all props for an elaborate scheme your husband worked
out to murder you. Richard Barker is not an uncommon name,
if not, a man with that name or died.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Ten years ago. He removed the body.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
He got the whole idea from the.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Dream you told him.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
But why to establish that you were insane? Uh?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
He planned to murder you and.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Claim he did it in self defense to protect himself
against an insane woman. But the gun filled with blanks.
He wanted to get your money, Missus Barker. But look
the way I felt, the strained craving you're suffering from anemia. Said,
doctor told us that it's not uncommon for anemia sufferers
to feel the way you did.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
I still can't believe it. I I still feel that
he isn't quite dead.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
I will relieve that there right now, his body's in
the other room.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I think you should see it.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Come this way, missus Barker.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
There Reddy's gonna with the Charlie.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Yes, inspect you.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
What's the matter he He looks the life like his
lips so ready. He looks as though he could move
get up at any minute.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Nonsense, I assure you he's quite that, Missus Parker. And
I can further assure you that the police Department has
never encountered one authentic vampire in its history.
Speaker 7 (24:23):
Yeah, you're very reassuring, Inspector. I think i'd better leave now.
Don't bother to see here the do right?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Oh, Charlie, cover him up and have 'em buried him? Okay,
inspect you?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Like, what is it, Charlie?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
It's fix em. Maybe I'm nuts, but I I I
I could swear to a sign.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Nonsense, cause lyn.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Uh, it's getting dark, Charlie, aren't sure?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Go down quick? These one of days. I'm going home.
Good night, Kelly, old friends, do you think Richard is
(25:17):
really dead?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
That's something for you to sleep on when you go
to bed tonight. Oh and by the way, we have
a moral for tonight's story. Yes, he's taken from a
diary of Miss Delirium Treatman, who once said, never marry
a vampire. He may turn out to be five hundred
years old without a Social Security number to his name.
How can a girl have any fun going around with
(25:40):
a guy like that?
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Hey, sire, how about that?
Speaker 7 (25:45):
Sure?
Speaker 6 (25:46):

The whole problem. Buckle up, will you?
Speaker 1 (25:52):

Use seat belts all day on base? What's so different now?
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Now?
Speaker 4 (25:57):
I don't have to? You mean you only wear seat
belts because you have to. I don't like them. If
you like them being held down, it can save your life.
Sure between here and the exchange, Hey, most accidents happen
close to where we work or live. Enough already are
we going or not?
Speaker 3 (26:14):
All right?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Would you wear your seat belt for me?
Speaker 6 (26:17):
What I just read that something like, oh, fourth of
all serious injuries are caused by people being thrown against
each other.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
So do it for me? Will you?
Speaker 4 (26:25):
In a crash where all like human missiles.
Speaker 6 (26:28):

Speaker 4 (26:35):
Buckle your seat belts
Speaker 1 (26:37):
