Speaker 3 (01:53):
Oh j Diamond. I'm sorry. Did I hurt you? Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
No, no, Seymour, I feel great. Ugh who needs teeth?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Come to think of it, though, I might be more
comfort on here if you lift this desk off my chest?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Oh yeah, should there you go?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Sorry, I didn't mean to knock you over.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
I forget forget it. I enjoy having my chest crushed
as much as the next guy.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Okay, now the throw I'm gonna show you. Now it's
called a Japanese sholet thoughts.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Oh look, Seymour, you convinced me Judo is a wonderful sport.
I didn't realize what I've been missing all these years.
I love this sport judo. Now we'll it be Canaster,
old mate? What how about Hopscotch?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Oh come on, come on, let me show you just
one more throw.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Not even if it was with a bean bag.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
And maybe some wrestling holds in. I know a lot
of wrestling stuff. Must be some trick you'd like me
to try.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
No, no, no, Simour, I really don't believe I. Well,
come to think of it, yes, I there is a
wonderful little trick.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
You get yourself a nice long throw it high up
into the air. Yeah, and then real quick he climb
way way up to the top and just disappear.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
That's nuts.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Oh, I defeated No Diamond detective agency.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Brains, experience, enthusiasm, delirium, tremen Rick, don't be so silly.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
I might have been a prospective client.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Oh, hi, sweeting Hi.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Yeah, I guess you're right, but you'll have to admit
I have got brains and enthusiasm and good looks and
the dynamic personality.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Then my father can beat up your father.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
Rick, You're incorrigible.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
No, I'm right here in New York.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Oh that's just dandy. Now, will you please tell me
what we're doing tonight?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Oh, that, honey, is a long story.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
I'm comfortable.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Well. Remember the day we walked into Gimbo's basement.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
And I bumped into an old schoolmate of mine who
was demonstrating bar bells.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
I remember how funny you looked when he got you
into picking up that big wage.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Yeah, and how hysterical it was when he had to
carry me upstairs with the chiropractor carriage.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
You just like a baby, too, didn't I who's that?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Now? That's him? Muscled.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
He bicycled all the way over from jerseys just to
tell me. His idea is on self defense.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
The bicycle.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Oh, he was dressed for it, top hat, tail, sneakers.
What are you talking about.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
One of his cleverest ideas was that I treat him
to dinner tonight if he could knock me to the
floor in less than thirty seconds, gave him the battle
of his life seven seconds.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
The point is where can we eat? Where they'll poisonous food.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I heard that it's all right, you can order small
helping Rick doesn't make it Leon's baby, okay?
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Must we?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Will you be an angel and meet us at Leon's.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
I'll meet you at leons.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Eight o'clock sharp.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
If you keep me waiting.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
If I keep you waiting and have a lock of
my hair eight o'clock sharp.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Well, i'll see it Leon's at eight o'clock.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I'll bring lots of money because I'm a guy I
can really eat.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I bet you are well if you arrive there before
I do. Seymour starting on the ferns with the front door.
Seymour was too stupid to go away. Mad he went away.
I settled back in my chair and made a half
hearted attempt to figure a face out of the water
spot in the ceiling. When I woke up, it was
five o'clock and I hated myself with the indulgence. As
(05:11):
I sat there, thinking how much my mouth tasted like
an old motorman's glove, I heard a noise in the
hall on the other side of my door.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Well, good afternoon. Something I can do for juice bar,
juice bar.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Maybe he fell face forward into the pool of blood
at his feet, like a whino who'd stumbled into a
fountain of muscatel. Funny, isn't it how an icepick loses
all its homey appeal when it's sticking out of a
guy's back. The ice pick this guy was wearing was
no exception. I didn't know how long he'd been leaning
(05:48):
against my door, but one thing was certain.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
It was long enough to die. I put in a
call to Fifth Precinct Police.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Headquarters and Lieutenant Levinson, and ten minutes later my office
was full of badges.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
And you have no idea who he is, Eric not
the Vegas wolf.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
Well, the check up shows you're the only office in
the building that's been open after two, so he must
have been on his way to see you when he
got it from behind.
Speaker 8 (06:09):
Uh, maybe he would deliver a nice and just happened
to fall on his ice.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Pake Otis, yeah, otis.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Now that you've solved it, why don't you go down
to the glue factory and let him put you up
in nice little glass bottles. Oh well, anyway, here's a
billfold in his pocket.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Then I want to tell us.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Something now about a look fatty eh oh? Oh? Sure
here quite a con collector, wasn't he quite? Gold farriers?
The copper room, Ol' tools.
Speaker 8 (06:37):
Diner, Lousy food got tole many once from that cheesecake.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I remember, I got tomay and just watching you eat it,
Irash sent that and I accept your apology.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah huh. Where's that green card from this one? Yeah?
The Apollo Health Club? Hey, that's right down the street,
I think with the old boy's name on it, though.
Speaker 9 (06:56):
Right or not?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
However, something tells me you'll get that from the old
boy's fingerprints.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Let's hope.
Speaker 10 (07:02):
So sell you this afternoon to you, sir, and welcome
to the Apollo Health Club.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Be happy of assistance. I'd like to get a massage.
Speaker 11 (07:17):
Splendid performers wendors after a fatiguing day, a feltable bomb
to the chafed tissues of the body.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
But will it cure snowblindness? I take your pardon, No,
just ignore me. I'm a little chewed up today.
Speaker 11 (07:28):
I assume you're referring to a state of mind. Well
not altogether. Gota can't at my back, that isn't entirely metal.
And at least you've come to the proper place. A
measure of skillfully applied anatomical science will regenerate the damaged
musculature in no time.
Speaker 10 (07:43):
Oh, byon, mister o'bion front.
Speaker 11 (07:45):
Please well, if my best mess is or you're the owner, huh,
I am sir.
Speaker 10 (07:50):
Let me introduce myself, Emerson Vanata, Doctor of anatomical.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Science, Richard Dunk. A pleasure, nice lay out you have here.
Speaker 10 (07:58):
Indeed, five years of assiduous study in Switzerland under the
illustrious doctor von Zippovill has given me a boundless knowledge
of the human making it as.
Speaker 11 (08:06):
A consequence of course. Oh yes, yes, Oh I hey
mister Diamond, here wish is a message? Sure fine, I'll
speak to you later, mister Diamond. I guess, sir, remember
the blood tore the hat always tore.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
The hat.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
A real private detector.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Ruh, a too private judging from last month's receipts. Hey,
you know you really rubbed that kink out of my back.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Good.
Speaker 8 (08:41):
I don't know if you noticed it, but I was
doing all my rugging with my right arm to.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Muster on my left shoulder this morning. Really put it
out of commission.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Oh, it's too bad. Speaking of things being out of
commission reminds me. There's a body down at the morgue.
I'd like you to take a look at. Guy might
have been a client of yours. What makes you think
that I had a card from the apartment the club
in his billfold?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Oh? When could you come down? How about the night
we close here at ten? Fine? Make it? What about
ten thirty? Know where the morgue is? Yeah? I how
does guy die anyway? If somebody hit their ice pick
in his spinal column? No kidding?
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Yeah, the corpse is a little dark complexioned man, pinky hair, glasses,
ball spot on the top of his head.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
Hey, that description fits a guy comes in here every
night around closing time, fanatic and diety.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You buy his weak germ, promise by the case.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Know his name of where he lives.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Oh, I know this is the.
Speaker 11 (09:36):
Inclusion, gentleman, but I'm afraid I have to ask mister
o'bien to hire you down to the gym Nation.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
Oh sure, right away, sir, here's a fresh Thomas the Diamond.
Speaker 11 (09:44):
Sorry to interrupt like this, but we are a trifle
on the staff to expedite in the evening rush is something.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Of a popular square. All right, calculated to night, mister Diamond.
All right. Oh hey, in case you can't make it,
give me a buzz at Leon's restaurant. I'll be there
at a quarter of nine.
Speaker 12 (09:59):
Right Allo, Leon BELLI see belly, which translated in English
being right this way.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Both my guests arrived.
Speaker 10 (10:19):
We first the young lady, then a few minutes later
the gymnast. I bought mister Diamond a telephone call is
waiting for you.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Oh thanks, thanks, ma'am. Hello Diamonds picking armster.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
Diamond is Red a Birron down the Power Club.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh yeah, Iron, Hey.
Speaker 8 (10:36):
Listen, you gotta come down here right away.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
I really stumbled into something.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah what's that?
Speaker 6 (10:41):
I can't tell you over the phone. Just get down here,
drop everything and get.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Down here, hurry.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Look, Red, I'm right in the middle of it. Hello, Hello, Hello.

Yeah, well, how about my dinner.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I'll go right ahead and order I'll be back.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Oh by the way, Seymour, that potato salad on the
child's plate as a real deal for a quarter and Helen, Yes, Rick,
shoot the kill if he even suggests wrestling. I walked
out of Leon's, flagged down a cab, and spent the
trip back to the Apollo Club wondering what red o'barron
(11:26):
was so worked up about and why it hung up
on me.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
As my cab started to swing.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
In toward the curb, I got that lousy feeling again,
and I decided definitely it was not one of Leon's Martini's,
but rather the large white ambulance parked in front of
the Apollo Health Club. I was halfway up the steps
of the club when doctor van Arter appeared in the doorway.
Speaker 10 (11:44):
Oh, good evening, mister Diamond.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
This is terrible, terrible, what if we've hit an accident?
Red o'barron, yes, oh, terribly, like losing his son, losing
he's dead.
Speaker 11 (11:58):
He was performing a hendstand on the in the gymnation
if he slipped and fill balk his neck.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Well, hello, or this is the lieutenant around?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah, he's around?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
So what orders? Did you ever think our cell you'd
look hanging from your thumbs? Ah, go soak your head?
You mean that's how you shrunk yours?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Ooh well, isn't that a coincidence?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Is it?
Speaker 7 (13:43):
I was just thinking how peaceful it is around the
precinct when you're not.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yeah, you shut up?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
You you tell him, fatty? How would you like it?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
I'd like a little information, if you don't mind. I'd
like you to see what facts you can scare up on.
The guy who runs the Apollo Health Club name is
Van Arthur.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
If I remember right, the stiff wheel all the way
in front of your office today and a card from
the Apollo Club in.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
His billfold, you remember right?
Speaker 7 (14:05):
And we found out his name was Rudy Lubin Narcotics
has a file on him that goes forever.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
How about the ice pick? Any fingerprints?
Speaker 10 (14:12):
Man?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Well, that's always a help, I should say. Personally, I
think Otis? Did it?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Think I did?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
What you see? Walter? Typical pathological reaction. What are your name? Oh,
don't worry, Otis.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
We won't let them hang you right, walt right, not
as long as we have a rope in a tree.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Will you call him?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Leon's restaurant?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Hellen's over there, breathing with a diaphragm, and Seymour, Oh,
you don't know him, but he's tearing phone books apart.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Good evening, Leon, helloly On. This is Richard Diamond. My
friend's still there. They are waiting for you. They're waiting
for me. Yes, let me speak to the noisy one
with the biceps. Will you?
Speaker 10 (14:50):
What's all this about?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
What's about a guy who got stabbed in front of
my door? I'm a sore named o'byron who got his
neck broken doing tricks on the rings and something that
o'biron mentioned earlier.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Where are you anyway? We've been waiting in an hour.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
That's not the point. The point is I want you
to listen to me. Could a guy do a handstand
on the rings if he had a torn.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Muscle in his shoulder? I'm very serious, Echno.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
I couldn't impossible. Shoulder muscles are the ones do all
the work?
Speaker 10 (15:17):
Dont deut's therapisia upper pips?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, Look, Seymour, you gotta do me
a favor. Beat me in front of the Apollo Health
Club as soon as you can get there. How about
your girlfriend tell the wait there I come for Oh okay,
then I'll what are we gonna do?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Trap of murderer?
Speaker 4 (15:39):
I hung up a short Lieutenant Lemonson, and I was
just going to do a little reconnaissance work, and then.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Left for the Apollo Cloud.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Seymour was waiting when my cab drew up in front.
I explained to him the part I wanted him play.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Just leave it to me. If it's doctors are phoning off,
find out for you.
Speaker 10 (15:53):
Let's go, came mister diamond dog. I just talked to
the obroon boy's family. It was heartrending, absolutely heartrending, almost
boked down.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
No, you will before it's over. I like you to
be a friend of mine, Seymour caper abliciously.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
What do you said?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Doc Simour has been having a little trouble with his
chest lately.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
I told him you were a doctor of anatomical signs, yeah,
and that you could undoubtedly do some good.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Hey, kind of you, there's something to do with my
muscles here. You know anything about him?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Messa?
Speaker 10 (16:30):
What an anatomical scientist knows most about.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Oh well, the doctor studed all about muscles in Switzerland.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Oh, just what seems to be the tobe. Well, here's
the dale dog. It all started the other day when
I was working out with my bar belts. I was
done on exercise for my trapezius when all of a sudden,
I got a spasm in my tenser fassia. So I've
been over to set the barb belt down on the floor,
and that's when the plane hit me. First in my
pectoralis minor than in my intercostals. And finally my diaphragm
(16:56):
a kind of spasmodic contraction, like when you get the hiccups,
only no hiccups.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 9 (17:04):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (17:04):
Oh, yes, yes, yes, a specimalty context of the diaphragm,
only no hiccups.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
And then my abdominals began tiing until I could hardly
expand my webcage.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Oh that's what I call diamond here.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
She yes, yes, quite naturally.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
If you'll talk to me a moment, I see if. Yeah,
but wait a minute, I haven't told you about my rhomboid.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Just rhomboids seemed to be completely out of whack.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
That pattern, well, it must be either my romboards or
my dorsal spanalas awful pain right between my shoulder blades.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
What do you figure it is? Doc?
Speaker 10 (17:34):
Well, actually, his ty diagnosis isn't the feasible.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I really couldn't.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Oh yeah, but you just put your hand on my
left rom board and feel how naughty it is.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Huh hey, yeah, go ahead feel it. It's right under
the middle of trapezius.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Doc, you know where that is?
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Please please see more. Don't insult the doctor. Any old
quack knows where that is. He is certainly middle. Oh,
Krick Scott, I've almost forgotten. I left a client under
the sun limb had me. Gentlemen, I'll be back in
a much bit moment.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Have a hunch he's heading straight for an anatomy chart.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Yeah, you're not kidding.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
That guy's as funny as the title he uses, Doctor
of Anatomical Science.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
My glorious mind too. Come on.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I took Seymour by his romboy to let him out
under the street, down in the middle of the block
and up three flights to my office.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
While I did my thinking, Seymour did.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
His push ups three two three three, Well.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Seymour, we know three things o'barron couldn't have been exercising
on the rings with an end of her shoulder.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Five.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Right, and the doctor is a phony.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Right, and the doctor is is a front for something
it's important enough to.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Kill people over the right. Eight.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
As a consequence, you and I are burglar and well,
starting as soon as the Apollo Club closes.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
And they were gonna bust into the joint.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
We're gonna bust into the joint, or flatten your head
in the attempt. M Seymour, you opened that window beautifully
at thanks. Remind me to autograph your biceps later.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
I uh, this detective business is dangerous, ain't it?
Speaker 9 (19:25):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Yes, yes, but think of the advantages. Long hours, no
time for meals, and on a good day a guy
can pick up his high as two or three hundred
bullets in his back.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I don't like it. Go on crawling, okay, okay, don't push.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
I followed Seymour in and we waited a minute for
our eyes to get accustomed to the darkness.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Then we moved cautiously down the stairway to the first floor.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
I had no idea what I was looking for, but
Doctor ven Arthur's office was the first place where I
tried to find it.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
I had a dose lot. You want an help, of
course I do. Use your head.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Okay, Seymour would be pulling plywood out of his scalp
for the next week.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
But it got us in.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
I took the place apart, but came up with a big,
fat nothing. So he left the office and headed down
the hall towards.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
The back of the building.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Hey, look, what's the matter except fla juice bar? Oh boy,
am I thirsty?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
I'll go mix yourself up. Juice bar. Juice bar? That's it?
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Yeah, good stiff bella salag.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
No, no, no, this is what the little man who
was stabbed outside my office was gasping about when he died.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
A juice bar. Come on, nothing but juice? Oh? One
of us? In this cupboard under the counter, he's a locked. Yeah,
I think you can pull it open. Eh, just watch me,
you see Seymore?
Speaker 10 (20:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Will you marry me?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I'll give you a bouton a sola plexus later.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Huh, All right down, let's see what's in this cupboard.
You gotta match.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
I don't smoke, that's all right, I founded Well, what
do you know about that? Nothing but cans of wheat Germ.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Hey, you know what that stuff is, don't you.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
I know that the monsieur who got killed here told
me that the guy who died in front of my
office brought it up by the case.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
He me, a can, Will you sure here?
Speaker 3 (21:25):
It's stuff? It full of vitamins. You know you want
a handful?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Oh nothings.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Yeah, it must be some extra special brand. Never tasted
any like this before. Chew a little lot of Seymore.
We can dance to it.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Hey, hey, it really hits the spot. Man, Hey, you
want to rastle?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Oh quiet, Seymour. You know I can fly, Seymour.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
I can fly, that is see? Oh man, do I him?
I love to fly.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
While Seymour stood there flapping his arms, I stuck my
nose into the can he was holding.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Uh huh.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Once you've smelled opium, you can always recognize the aroma,
even when it mixed with wheat Germ.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I was trying to decide what to.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Do Seymore when he slid slowly to the floor under
the counter and rocked out. I loosened his collar and
then started for a telephone.
Speaker 11 (22:21):
Leaving mister detective well doctor working later. I'm glad I
arrived in time to offer you a drink of foot juice. O. Thanks, lord,
But I'm driving where you're going, mister detective. The weather
is too hot for diving.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Now, Isn't that a nasty thing for a guy who
sticks ice picks and people to say.
Speaker 10 (22:39):
Oh, that was the most unpleasant experience.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I assure you.
Speaker 11 (22:42):
It's just that mister Lupin began tomnding a little too
high a percentage for this to be in my health.
Speaker 10 (22:49):
Foods even went so fast to tighten me with exposure.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
So you grabbed up an ice pick from your juice
bar and followed him out of the club.
Speaker 10 (22:56):
M I doubt if he ever knew what hit him.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Oh, I better he had a hunch.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
Well, eh, I perceive that you sampled my creature.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
No, I opened the canner too, personally, I never touched
the stuff without bananas and dream.
Speaker 10 (23:11):
You've made the same unfortunate discovery the wed or wild made.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Oh that's why he called me a leon.
Speaker 10 (23:19):
Yes, and that's also why I had to resort today
and the sportsmanlike expedient of bluing him to the balcony
of the gymnation and then pushing him over.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
At first, I.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Was about to call the doctor a particularly dirty name
when Seymour's hulking shoulders loomed up behind the juice bar,
not over three feet from where the doctor was standing. Doctor,
you're wrong. Seymour is not a sissy.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
What. I don't think you could beat up Seymour with
one hand, that's what, mister diamond. I'm afraid you're asking
to be shot.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Yeah, we're just to try it.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Who said, hey, I'll teach him to call somebody who
knows how to fly a sissy.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Oh yeah, she's still here, though, are we?
Speaker 9 (24:17):
We?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
But very angry? Luckily on you got to do something
for me. Angry. Tell the violinist to get his big
fat strat of various over to where she's sitting and
quick and we immediately hallo, miss Asher.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Oh come on, sweetie, I've had a rough night subduing
murderers opium meters.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Please you could do us say hello, hello, I like
that song, don't you look?
Speaker 6 (24:45):
I know all about you?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
And a little violind no sorle on twenty is out
to the violinist. He did?
Speaker 6 (24:53):
And where may I ask this little.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Seymour, Little Seymour a too many good? Is he's having
his stomach pump?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Not that sweet, I think so. I think the song

I think you should sing it too.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
No, no, no, Simour, I really don't believe I. Well,
come to think of it, yes, I there is a
wonderful little trick.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
You get yourself a nice long throw it high up
into the air. Yeah, and then real quick he climb
way way up to the top and just disappear.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
That's nuts.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Oh, I defeated No Diamond detective agency.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Brains, experience, enthusiasm, delirium, tremen Rick, don't be so silly.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
I might have been a prospective client.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Oh, hi, sweeting Hi.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Yeah, I guess you're right, but you'll have to admit
I have got brains and enthusiasm and good looks and
the dynamic personality.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Then my father can beat up your father.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
Rick, You're incorrigible.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
No, I'm right here in New York.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Oh that's just dandy. Now, will you please tell me
what we're doing tonight?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Oh, that, honey, is a long story.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
I'm comfortable.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Well. Remember the day we walked into Gimbo's basement.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
And I bumped into an old schoolmate of mine who
was demonstrating bar bells.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
I remember how funny you looked when he got you
into picking up that big wage.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Yeah, and how hysterical it was when he had to
carry me upstairs with the chiropractor carriage.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
You just like a baby, too, didn't I who's that?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Now? That's him? Muscled.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
He bicycled all the way over from jerseys just to
tell me. His idea is on self defense.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
The bicycle.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Oh, he was dressed for it, top hat, tail, sneakers.
What are you talking about.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
One of his cleverest ideas was that I treat him
to dinner tonight if he could knock me to the
floor in less than thirty seconds, gave him the battle
of his life seven seconds.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
The point is where can we eat? Where they'll poisonous food.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I heard that it's all right, you can order small
helping Rick doesn't make it Leon's baby, okay?
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Must we?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Will you be an angel and meet us at Leon's.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
I'll meet you at leons.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Eight o'clock sharp.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
If you keep me waiting.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
If I keep you waiting and have a lock of
my hair eight o'clock sharp.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Well, i'll see it Leon's at eight o'clock.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I'll bring lots of money because I'm a guy I
can really eat.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I bet you are well if you arrive there before
I do. Seymour starting on the ferns with the front door.
Seymour was too stupid to go away. Mad he went away.
I settled back in my chair and made a half
hearted attempt to figure a face out of the water
spot in the ceiling. When I woke up, it was
five o'clock and I hated myself with the indulgence. As
(05:11):
I sat there, thinking how much my mouth tasted like
an old motorman's glove, I heard a noise in the
hall on the other side of my door.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Well, good afternoon. Something I can do for juice bar,
juice bar.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Maybe he fell face forward into the pool of blood
at his feet, like a whino who'd stumbled into a
fountain of muscatel. Funny, isn't it how an icepick loses
all its homey appeal when it's sticking out of a
guy's back. The ice pick this guy was wearing was
no exception. I didn't know how long he'd been leaning
(05:48):
against my door, but one thing was certain.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
It was long enough to die. I put in a
call to Fifth Precinct Police.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Headquarters and Lieutenant Levinson, and ten minutes later my office
was full of badges.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
And you have no idea who he is, Eric not
the Vegas wolf.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
Well, the check up shows you're the only office in
the building that's been open after two, so he must
have been on his way to see you when he
got it from behind.
Speaker 8 (06:09):
Uh, maybe he would deliver a nice and just happened
to fall on his ice.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Pake Otis, yeah, otis.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Now that you've solved it, why don't you go down
to the glue factory and let him put you up
in nice little glass bottles. Oh well, anyway, here's a
billfold in his pocket.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Then I want to tell us.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Something now about a look fatty eh oh? Oh? Sure
here quite a con collector, wasn't he quite? Gold farriers?
The copper room, Ol' tools.
Speaker 8 (06:37):
Diner, Lousy food got tole many once from that cheesecake.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I remember, I got tomay and just watching you eat it,
Irash sent that and I accept your apology.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah huh. Where's that green card from this one? Yeah?
The Apollo Health Club? Hey, that's right down the street,
I think with the old boy's name on it, though.
Speaker 9 (06:56):
Right or not?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
However, something tells me you'll get that from the old
boy's fingerprints.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Let's hope.
Speaker 10 (07:02):
So sell you this afternoon to you, sir, and welcome
to the Apollo Health Club.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Be happy of assistance. I'd like to get a massage.
Speaker 11 (07:17):
Splendid performers wendors after a fatiguing day, a feltable bomb
to the chafed tissues of the body.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
But will it cure snowblindness? I take your pardon, No,
just ignore me. I'm a little chewed up today.
Speaker 11 (07:28):
I assume you're referring to a state of mind. Well
not altogether. Gota can't at my back, that isn't entirely metal.
And at least you've come to the proper place. A
measure of skillfully applied anatomical science will regenerate the damaged
musculature in no time.
Speaker 10 (07:43):
Oh, byon, mister o'bion front.
Speaker 11 (07:45):
Please well, if my best mess is or you're the owner, huh,
I am sir.
Speaker 10 (07:50):
Let me introduce myself, Emerson Vanata, Doctor of anatomical.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Science, Richard Dunk. A pleasure, nice lay out you have here.
Speaker 10 (07:58):
Indeed, five years of assiduous study in Switzerland under the
illustrious doctor von Zippovill has given me a boundless knowledge
of the human making it as.
Speaker 11 (08:06):
A consequence of course. Oh yes, yes, Oh I hey
mister Diamond, here wish is a message? Sure fine, I'll
speak to you later, mister Diamond. I guess, sir, remember
the blood tore the hat always tore.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
The hat.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
A real private detector.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Ruh, a too private judging from last month's receipts. Hey,
you know you really rubbed that kink out of my back.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Good.
Speaker 8 (08:41):
I don't know if you noticed it, but I was
doing all my rugging with my right arm to.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Muster on my left shoulder this morning. Really put it
out of commission.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Oh, it's too bad. Speaking of things being out of
commission reminds me. There's a body down at the morgue.
I'd like you to take a look at. Guy might
have been a client of yours. What makes you think
that I had a card from the apartment the club
in his billfold?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Oh? When could you come down? How about the night
we close here at ten? Fine? Make it? What about
ten thirty? Know where the morgue is? Yeah? I how
does guy die anyway? If somebody hit their ice pick
in his spinal column? No kidding?
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Yeah, the corpse is a little dark complexioned man, pinky hair, glasses,
ball spot on the top of his head.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
Hey, that description fits a guy comes in here every
night around closing time, fanatic and diety.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You buy his weak germ, promise by the case.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Know his name of where he lives.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Oh, I know this is the.
Speaker 11 (09:36):
Inclusion, gentleman, but I'm afraid I have to ask mister
o'bien to hire you down to the gym Nation.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
Oh sure, right away, sir, here's a fresh Thomas the Diamond.
Speaker 11 (09:44):
Sorry to interrupt like this, but we are a trifle
on the staff to expedite in the evening rush is something.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Of a popular square. All right, calculated to night, mister Diamond.
All right. Oh hey, in case you can't make it,
give me a buzz at Leon's restaurant. I'll be there
at a quarter of nine.
Speaker 12 (09:59):
Right Allo, Leon BELLI see belly, which translated in English
being right this way.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Both my guests arrived.
Speaker 10 (10:19):
We first the young lady, then a few minutes later
the gymnast. I bought mister Diamond a telephone call is
waiting for you.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Oh thanks, thanks, ma'am. Hello Diamonds picking armster.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
Diamond is Red a Birron down the Power Club.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Oh yeah, Iron, Hey.
Speaker 8 (10:36):
Listen, you gotta come down here right away.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
I really stumbled into something.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah what's that?
Speaker 6 (10:41):
I can't tell you over the phone. Just get down here,
drop everything and get.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Down here, hurry.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Look, Red, I'm right in the middle of it. Hello, Hello, Hello.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Oh hey kids, I gotta run, be back in a
few minutes.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Yeah, well, how about my dinner.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I'll go right ahead and order I'll be back.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Oh by the way, Seymour, that potato salad on the
child's plate as a real deal for a quarter and Helen, Yes, Rick,
shoot the kill if he even suggests wrestling. I walked
out of Leon's, flagged down a cab, and spent the
trip back to the Apollo Club wondering what red o'barron
(11:26):
was so worked up about and why it hung up
on me.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
As my cab started to swing.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
In toward the curb, I got that lousy feeling again,
and I decided definitely it was not one of Leon's Martini's,
but rather the large white ambulance parked in front of
the Apollo Health Club. I was halfway up the steps
of the club when doctor van Arter appeared in the doorway.
Speaker 10 (11:44):
Oh, good evening, mister Diamond.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
This is terrible, terrible, what if we've hit an accident?
Red o'barron, yes, oh, terribly, like losing his son, losing
he's dead.
Speaker 11 (11:58):
He was performing a hendstand on the in the gymnation
if he slipped and fill balk his neck.

Well, hello, or this is the lieutenant around?

Speaker 2 (13:31):
So what orders? Did you ever think our cell you'd

You mean that's how you shrunk yours?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Ooh well, isn't that a coincidence?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Is it?
Speaker 7 (13:43):
I was just thinking how peaceful it is around the
precinct when you're not.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yeah, you shut up?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
You you tell him, fatty? How would you like it?

Well, that's always a help, I should say. Personally, I
think Otis? Did it?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Think I did?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
What you see? Walter? Typical pathological reaction. What are your name? Oh,
don't worry, Otis.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
We won't let them hang you right, walt right, not

Good evening, Leon, helloly On. This is Richard Diamond. My
friend's still there. They are waiting for you. They're waiting
for me. Yes, let me speak to the noisy one
with the biceps. Will you?
Speaker 10 (14:50):
What's all this about?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
What's about a guy who got stabbed in front of
my door? I'm a sore named o'byron who got his
neck broken doing tricks on the rings and something that
o'biron mentioned earlier.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Where are you anyway? We've been waiting in an hour.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
That's not the point. The point is I want you
to listen to me. Could a guy do a handstand
on the rings if he had a torn.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Muscle in his shoulder? I'm very serious, Echno.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
I couldn't impossible. Shoulder muscles are the ones do all
the work?
Speaker 10 (15:17):
Dont deut's therapisia upper pips?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, Look, Seymour, you gotta do me
a favor. Beat me in front of the Apollo Health
Club as soon as you can get there. How about
your girlfriend tell the wait there I come for Oh okay,
then I'll what are we gonna do?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Trap of murderer?
Speaker 4 (15:39):
I hung up a short Lieutenant Lemonson, and I was
just going to do a little reconnaissance work, and then.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Left for the Apollo Cloud.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Seymour was waiting when my cab drew up in front.
I explained to him the part I wanted him play.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Just leave it to me. If it's doctors are phoning off,
find out for you.
Speaker 10 (15:53):
Let's go, came mister diamond dog. I just talked to
the obroon boy's family. It was heartrending, absolutely heartrending, almost
boked down.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
No, you will before it's over. I like you to
be a friend of mine, Seymour caper abliciously.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
What do you said?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Doc Simour has been having a little trouble with his
chest lately.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
I told him you were a doctor of anatomical signs, yeah,
and that you could undoubtedly do some good.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Hey, kind of you, there's something to do with my
muscles here. You know anything about him?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Messa?
Speaker 10 (16:30):
What an anatomical scientist knows most about.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Oh well, the doctor studed all about muscles in Switzerland.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Oh, just what seems to be the tobe. Well, here's
the dale dog. It all started the other day when
I was working out with my bar belts. I was
done on exercise for my trapezius when all of a sudden,
I got a spasm in my tenser fassia. So I've
been over to set the barb belt down on the floor,
and that's when the plane hit me. First in my
pectoralis minor than in my intercostals. And finally my diaphragm
(16:56):
a kind of spasmodic contraction, like when you get the hiccups,
only no hiccups.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 9 (17:04):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (17:04):
Oh, yes, yes, yes, a specimalty context of the diaphragm,
only no hiccups.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
And then my abdominals began tiing until I could hardly
expand my webcage.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Oh that's what I call diamond here.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
She yes, yes, quite naturally.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
If you'll talk to me a moment, I see if. Yeah,
but wait a minute, I haven't told you about my rhomboid.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Just rhomboids seemed to be completely out of whack.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
That pattern, well, it must be either my romboards or
my dorsal spanalas awful pain right between my shoulder blades.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
What do you figure it is? Doc?
Speaker 10 (17:34):
Well, actually, his ty diagnosis isn't the feasible.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I really couldn't.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Oh yeah, but you just put your hand on my
left rom board and feel how naughty it is.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Huh hey, yeah, go ahead feel it. It's right under
the middle of trapezius.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Doc, you know where that is?
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Please please see more. Don't insult the doctor. Any old
quack knows where that is. He is certainly middle. Oh,
Krick Scott, I've almost forgotten. I left a client under
the sun limb had me. Gentlemen, I'll be back in
a much bit moment.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Have a hunch he's heading straight for an anatomy chart.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Yeah, you're not kidding.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
That guy's as funny as the title he uses, Doctor
of Anatomical Science.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
My glorious mind too. Come on.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I took Seymour by his romboy to let him out
under the street, down in the middle of the block
and up three flights to my office.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
While I did my thinking, Seymour did.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
His push ups three two three three, Well.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Seymour, we know three things o'barron couldn't have been exercising
on the rings with an end of her shoulder.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Five.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Right, and the doctor is a phony.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Right, and the doctor is is a front for something
it's important enough to.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Kill people over the right. Eight.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
As a consequence, you and I are burglar and well,
starting as soon as the Apollo Club closes.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
And they were gonna bust into the joint.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
We're gonna bust into the joint, or flatten your head
in the attempt. M Seymour, you opened that window beautifully
at thanks. Remind me to autograph your biceps later.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
I uh, this detective business is dangerous, ain't it?
Speaker 9 (19:25):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Yes, yes, but think of the advantages. Long hours, no
time for meals, and on a good day a guy
can pick up his high as two or three hundred
bullets in his back.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I don't like it. Go on crawling, okay, okay, don't push.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
I followed Seymour in and we waited a minute for
our eyes to get accustomed to the darkness.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Then we moved cautiously down the stairway to the first floor.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
I had no idea what I was looking for, but
Doctor ven Arthur's office was the first place where I
tried to find it.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
I had a dose lot. You want an help, of
course I do. Use your head.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Okay, Seymour would be pulling plywood out of his scalp
for the next week.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
But it got us in.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
I took the place apart, but came up with a big,
fat nothing. So he left the office and headed down
the hall towards.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
The back of the building.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Hey, look, what's the matter except fla juice bar? Oh boy,
am I thirsty?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
I'll go mix yourself up. Juice bar. Juice bar? That's it?
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Yeah, good stiff bella salag.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
No, no, no, this is what the little man who
was stabbed outside my office was gasping about when he died.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
A juice bar. Come on, nothing but juice? Oh? One
of us? In this cupboard under the counter, he's a locked. Yeah,
I think you can pull it open. Eh, just watch me,
you see Seymore?
Speaker 10 (20:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Will you marry me?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I'll give you a bouton a sola plexus later.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Huh, All right down, let's see what's in this cupboard.
You gotta match.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
I don't smoke, that's all right, I founded Well, what
do you know about that? Nothing but cans of wheat Germ.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Hey, you know what that stuff is, don't you.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
I know that the monsieur who got killed here told
me that the guy who died in front of my
office brought it up by the case.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
He me, a can, Will you sure here?
Speaker 3 (21:25):
It's stuff? It full of vitamins. You know you want
a handful?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Oh nothings.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Yeah, it must be some extra special brand. Never tasted
any like this before. Chew a little lot of Seymore.
We can dance to it.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Hey, hey, it really hits the spot. Man, Hey, you
want to rastle?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Oh quiet, Seymour. You know I can fly, Seymour.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
I can fly, that is see? Oh man, do I him?
I love to fly.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
While Seymour stood there flapping his arms, I stuck my
nose into the can he was holding.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Uh huh.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Once you've smelled opium, you can always recognize the aroma,
even when it mixed with wheat Germ.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I was trying to decide what to.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Do Seymore when he slid slowly to the floor under
the counter and rocked out. I loosened his collar and
then started for a telephone.
Speaker 11 (22:21):
Leaving mister detective well doctor working later. I'm glad I
arrived in time to offer you a drink of foot juice. O. Thanks, lord,
But I'm driving where you're going, mister detective. The weather
is too hot for diving.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Now, Isn't that a nasty thing for a guy who
sticks ice picks and people to say.
Speaker 10 (22:39):
Oh, that was the most unpleasant experience.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I assure you.
Speaker 11 (22:42):
It's just that mister Lupin began tomnding a little too
high a percentage for this to be in my health.
Speaker 10 (22:49):
Foods even went so fast to tighten me with exposure.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
So you grabbed up an ice pick from your juice
bar and followed him out of the club.
Speaker 10 (22:56):
M I doubt if he ever knew what hit him.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Oh, I better he had a hunch.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
Well, eh, I perceive that you sampled my creature.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
No, I opened the canner too, personally, I never touched
the stuff without bananas and dream.
Speaker 10 (23:11):
You've made the same unfortunate discovery the wed or wild made.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Oh that's why he called me a leon.
Speaker 10 (23:19):
Yes, and that's also why I had to resort today
and the sportsmanlike expedient of bluing him to the balcony
of the gymnation and then pushing him over.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
At first, I.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Was about to call the doctor a particularly dirty name
when Seymour's hulking shoulders loomed up behind the juice bar,
not over three feet from where the doctor was standing. Doctor,
you're wrong. Seymour is not a sissy.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
What. I don't think you could beat up Seymour with
one hand, that's what, mister diamond. I'm afraid you're asking
to be shot.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Yeah, we're just to try it.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Who said, hey, I'll teach him to call somebody who
knows how to fly a sissy.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Oh yeah, she's still here, though, are we?
Speaker 9 (24:17):
We?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
But very angry? Luckily on you got to do something
for me. Angry. Tell the violinist to get his big
fat strat of various over to where she's sitting and
quick and we immediately hallo, miss Asher.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Oh come on, sweetie, I've had a rough night subduing
murderers opium meters.
