better be good, be scientific. Now then I have done
a lot of research on it at considerable personal risk,
that's all. Yes, by eating the food myself.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
And I've come to the conclusion that you build up
an immunity to terrible slop like this.

(13:40):

Can we move it, doctor, Yes, I think so. I'll
take her home in the bus. I better go along too.
Her father isn't going to be easy to deal with it.

an ab back and lock him up and we'll hold
him toil. Sure the girl's going to be all right.

Speaker 5 (15:17):
Yes, I'll do that if you don't.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
I didn't hurt her name. The doc says, she's all right.

Speaker 5 (15:22):
There's no need to lock me up.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
You ought to beg me to lock you up, other
than have her father out looking for you. Come on, doc,

one of these days. It is not necessary, Yes it is.
We don't want him to get away with that any
more than you do. It is not necessary for you
to pick him up. What do you mean I brought
him to you? M Where is he? He's just outside,
seeing your outside? On my horse. He's tied on my horse.
