But see deadnely, I mean dead and I we we

Eve with things a little dough sorry.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Well anyway, we'd look in the store windows and we'd
see what we'd buy for ourselves and Jannie and mother.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Once she was alive, we had all the money we wanted.
I thought I'd walk up the avenue.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
To night and will it.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
It sounds kind of silly, but I would like to.
Speaker 2 (14:44):

Speaker 2 (15:18):
All right, I'll be with you in a little while.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Well, I guess I can close the books for the night.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I had a good year.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Oh there, hm, now one, I guess I'll give myself
a Christmas present of a new latch for the door.
Grover Blick must have left it open.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
He's too smart, that boy.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
You don't have to worry about any Glover's ever again.
Simon Jordan's Simon Jordan. And that's kind of finding new
gilt letters on the door instead of Glover's important company. Hey,
pretty slick, Simon Jordan. These books are fixed so cleverly
(16:13):
that even the Supreme Court couldn't tell that Simon Jordan
didn't own this company. Hey, hey, what was that who
said that?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
No one said anything, Simon Jordan. I was just enjoying
your joke with you. Now where are you? I can
hear your voice?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Of course you can hear my voice Simon Jordan. But
you can't see me. I'm in the shadows, the shadows
of your mind. Go away, Go away from me. I
thought you might be lonely.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
No, I not go. I came to ask you about
the Glovers.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Hey, but you who know about the Glovers enough, Simon Jordan,
enough to know that your ordered books would not fool
the Supreme Court.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Hey, not a spirit?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
In a sense? Yes?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I try to represent the spirit of honesty and justice.
And when Simon Jordan beats a child with his cane,
steals from the father of that child like a low,
sneaking thief, then I must talk to Simon Jordan's thief. No,
I should not disgrace thieves by calling you one of them.
You're a mental mean to be a thief, Jordan. What
(17:27):
do you want from this world? And if you have business,
I'll tell you you want money, nothing but money. I
feel sorry for you, Simon. I'm going to go now,
but I want to leave one.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Thought with you. Eh. You're an old man.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
You don't have much longer to live. All your life's
work is your money. It's rather an empty victory, isn't it.
You're alone in the world, Your money doesn't do anyone
any good, Simon Jordan. But you can less easy in
your shrivel soul because the crowsers will be taken care
of the Shadow will take care of them.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
This shadow.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Here we are away. Stop here, mother, Spike. Oh hello there,
Lama all I thought i'd never pick you up.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
We're beginning to worry too.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
How it things down at the police station?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Well, not much news yet, Spike, but they've got a
couple of leaders that might have mount to something that's good.

Earlier tonight we disagree on our interpretation of charity.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Silly, wasn't it. I know what you mean, Lama. There
should never be a thing called charity.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
There should never have been the necessity to create the
world in this short span we call our lives, and
each man would only realize that every other man has
dreams and hopes, this world wouldn't be a topsy turvy place.
Then peace on earth would be a fact, goodwill would
be for every man.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Ah is that you're Yeah? Yeah, mister Kranton. Are you
that called a box of books a box of books?
But you brought that inside?

You see, when I went by the pet shop and
the other.

Pops Potter was in a window, so I went and
I put him on the head. Do you know what
he's done, mister Cranston. No, he plit my finger. Oh

But you and I both know that your dad didn't
do anything wrong.

Speaker 5 (14:15):

try it.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
But see deadnely, I mean dead and I we we
know he used to walk up the avenue on Christmas
Eve with things a little dough sorry.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Well anyway, we'd look in the store windows and we'd
see what we'd buy for ourselves and Jannie and mother.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Once she was alive, we had all the money we wanted.
I thought I'd walk up the avenue.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
To night and will it.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
It sounds kind of silly, but I would like to.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
That's so wonderful idea.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Kingsley and Margot, Yes, why don't you go along and
take a pencil and paper and write down all the
things Spike would like for him help and hers sys.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
We never did that, No, we just think what fun
you'd have take talking it over with Jenny afterwards if

Yes, and wait, you better stay here and lot those
cookies don't fun again?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
All right, I'll be with you in a little while.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Well, I guess I can close the books for the night.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I had a good year.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Oh there, hm, now one, I guess I'll give myself
a Christmas present of a new latch for the door.
Grover Blick must have left it open.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
He's too smart, that boy.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
You don't have to worry about any Glover's ever again.
Simon Jordan's Simon Jordan. And that's kind of finding new
gilt letters on the door instead of Glover's important company. Hey,
pretty slick, Simon Jordan. These books are fixed so cleverly
(16:13):
that even the Supreme Court couldn't tell that Simon Jordan
didn't own this company. Hey, hey, what was that who
said that?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
No one said anything, Simon Jordan. I was just enjoying
your joke with you. Now where are you? I can
hear your voice?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Of course you can hear my voice Simon Jordan. But
you can't see me. I'm in the shadows, the shadows
of your mind. Go away, Go away from me. I
thought you might be lonely.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
No, I not go. I came to ask you about
the Glovers.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Hey, but you who know about the Glovers enough, Simon Jordan,
enough to know that your ordered books would not fool
the Supreme Court.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Hey, not a spirit?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
In a sense? Yes?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I try to represent the spirit of honesty and justice.
And when Simon Jordan beats a child with his cane,
steals from the father of that child like a low,
sneaking thief, then I must talk to Simon Jordan's thief. No,
I should not disgrace thieves by calling you one of them.
You're a mental mean to be a thief, Jordan. What
(17:27):
do you want from this world? And if you have business,
I'll tell you you want money, nothing but money. I
feel sorry for you, Simon. I'm going to go now,
but I want to leave one.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Thought with you. Eh. You're an old man.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
You don't have much longer to live. All your life's
work is your money. It's rather an empty victory, isn't it.
You're alone in the world, Your money doesn't do anyone
any good, Simon Jordan. But you can less easy in
your shrivel soul because the crowsers will be taken care
of the Shadow will take care of them.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
This shadow.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Here we are away. Stop here, mother, Spike. Oh hello there,
Lama all I thought i'd never pick you up.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
We're beginning to worry too.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
How it things down at the police station?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Well, not much news yet, Spike, but they've got a
couple of leaders that might have mount to something that's good.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Are you putting there? The end of your Christmas eve? Walk? Spike?
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Got one more stock?
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Stop me always stopped in here at the cathedral, you know,
just to get out of the cold for a minute.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
You don't have to be a play him.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
If you take as they will spank up these steps.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Come on, I did not there asn't any windows in town.
I'm there. I've got a list of presents as long.
Speaker 2 (18:49):

preferred list. Hell in here, why you do?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
It's heavy?
Speaker 2 (19:01):

Earlier tonight we disagree on our interpretation of charity.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Silly, wasn't it. I know what you mean, Lama. There
should never be a thing called charity.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
There should never have been the necessity to create the
world in this short span we call our lives, and
each man would only realize that every other man has
dreams and hopes, this world wouldn't be a topsy turvy place.
Then peace on earth would be a fact, goodwill would
be for every man.

that called a box of books a box of books?
But you brought that inside?

I put him on the head. Do you know what
