Speaker 5 (01:04):
I wish I hadn't let Ruth talk me into serving
that last car that came into the drive in that
rainy night.
Speaker 6 (01:10):
It was late and I was tired.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
I've been on my feet all day carrying heavy trays,
hopping through it with impatient people blaring their headlights on
and off. In my eyes, Heaven knows there are a
lot of impatient people in Hollywood we call hops.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Don't have an easy time of it. Talk about your
mail carriers. Well, we're the same raining or blowing or
boiling hot.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
It's got to get through with that prey and all
the reason why tired, hungry.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
People would sit back in their cars. That's million dollars
worth of service for a ten cent to why do
we do it?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Sure there are other.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Ways of making a living in Hollywood, but not many
that hold that glithering promise that maybe someday, somehow, maybe
someone will see.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Why that girl looks like Lana turning.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
Yes, Lisa Hare's done up that way.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I think I could use a renee the musical version
the four Side Saga or should be great in color.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
I think I'll have go to come up with the studio.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
Yes, I know, maybe.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
It doesn't happen often, but there's always the chance, and
there's always that hope.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
That's what keeps with going, I guess.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
But there are other things that can happen in the
driving that are on the menu, like that rainy night
I was telling you about when I let Ruth talk
me into serving that last car that.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
No listen, please take your order. Well you I got three.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Cars and the clock what it is nearly midnight?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I'm off off.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Please just once moment.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
My day's waiting not to the same, And what's got
with him? Can't you read?
Speaker 7 (02:40):
Please do not haunt your horn.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
It looks quair enough to me. It's a doctor's kay,
you see. Is probably no rush anyway, He's nobody waiting
for you all.
Speaker 7 (02:47):
Thanks mil.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
It was true. I had no one waiting for me,
only the bus that was going to take me to Glendale,
where I lived alone in an apartment.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
So I buttoned up my raincoat and the menu.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Over to the car.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Good evening, that was mind the menu.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
It's a black coffee, a plot of it, and I
have sand which, please hurry.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
When I took his order over to the car, the
window was rolled.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Up a little too far and enterpered with the tray.
So I reached him to wind it down, and I
touched the handle.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
It wet.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
It's kind of sticky too, but I didn't think anything
about it.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
I got the tray firmly setting and I looked at
my hand. It was this leathers blood. I looked up
quickly at him.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
Oh, I'm sorry, I doctor Morgan's.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I just had an emergency in the car.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
Oh an accident, yes, sunset and vine quite a crash.

I just happened, ye, and I took one of them
to the hospital.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Gee, that's a shame.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Yes, it's too bad.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
I walked back trying to wipe the blood from my
hand with a paper napkin.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
It it gave me a creepy feeling to have somebody's
blood on my hands. Then I went in the wash.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
I was trying to keep close track of the time,
and I was a little worried because the big drive
in the clock wasn't right.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
It sometimes ran slow. So I took a coin from
my apron pocket.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
I figured it was worth a nickel and I to
miss that last rus to Glendale.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
I walked over the payphone and I was about to
drop the nickel in my.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Missed out and he was leaning on the horn and
beckoning to me.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
At the same time. I put the nickel back in
my pocket and hurried out to him.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I'm sorry, but I'm in a hurry. I having time
for this coffee to cool off. I'll take the sandwich.
Glitched me. How much do I owe you?
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Heaby forty two cents.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Here you are.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
I hope I didn't interrupt your phone call. It wasn't important,
was him?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
No?
Speaker 6 (04:50):
I was just checking on the sun. I don't want
to miss my butt.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
There was a clock right over your head.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Well that's usually wrong.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
If I have the time, it's about four minutes twelve. Oh,
I'm going to miss my What time do you leave?
Speaker 8 (05:01):

Speaker 6 (05:05):
Would you I'll take the train and i'll be right back.
I might still be able.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
To make it, okay, And I heard it.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
I hooked a tray from the window. I gave it
a jerk and I felt crashing to the ground.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Oh dear, whoaah, look, look, help me with these things
where I'm gonna miss my bar.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I can't go ahead, and no, rock get it.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
I'll get it.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
We picked the things up quickly, and Roof went off
with the tray.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
I started to run around the other side of the
car when I knowed something.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Shining on the ground. It's one of the shakers that
are falling from the tray. I picked it up and
started toward the driveway.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Why don't you just put that in your pocket. You
can return it tomorrow. Come on, you're gonna miss your fie.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
I put the shape in my age and pocket, and
I rushed over to the other side of the car.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
He opened the door for me, and I was just
about to get in when I hesitated up.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
I wasn't used to doing this kind of thing. Yeah,
the girls sometimes let their customers drive him.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Home, but I never did.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Still, he looks so decent, and come on, you'll miss it.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Then he reached out.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Was that they helped me in, And I thought that
he was really concerned about my missing the bus, because
it seemed to pull me.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Into the car the first thing I knew I was
sitting beside him. Then the door slam and we were
driving on.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
I was a little uneasy, but when I started saw it's.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Only a few blocks. I won't be in the car along.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
I suppose you're in a hurry because someone's waiting for you.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
No, I live alone, but i'd hate to walk back
to Glendale in this rain.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
You won't have to walk.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Well, this is very nice of you. Were I appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Not at all. Uh, would you mind rolling up that
widow on your side there was a crash, of course.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Oh, you can let me off at that corner over there,
all right, anywhere along here'll be all right, this is time.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Right over there by the stop sign.
Speaker 9 (07:17):
You're going to the slop signal, Am I, yes, but
I'll get off over.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
There by the other one, my bus. You're turning the
wrong way, am I?
Speaker 5 (07:27):

Speaker 6 (07:27):
This This goes up to the Long canyon, does it?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
You thought you were pretty smart, didn't you.
Speaker 8 (07:39):
I don't know what you mean.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Please, honey, out of this car.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Right to the phone. You thought I wouldn't see you.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
The phone that I was calling about the time other

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Time that clock over your head, But that.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Clock's wrong sometimes.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
Besides, who would I call?
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Why should I call? Any What about you?
Speaker 4 (07:55):
You were calling the police?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Nother side wasn't let me out of this car?
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Who were gonna catch up? Bus? You were going straight
to the police, That's where you were going.
Speaker 9 (08:02):
But why why should I go to the police?
Speaker 4 (08:04):
You know why?
Speaker 8 (08:05):
No?
Speaker 7 (08:05):
Really I don't because your size, your size, blood, I.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Don't he be there.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
You won't need to try to open that door. Now
we'll be getting along.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
After I made that last try to get out, he
broke the handle of the door. All the strength seemed
to go out of my body. I just sat there
as would go on. He tossed a few people and
some cars in the next block, and I try to
call it, But then I knew why. He asked me
to roll up the window when I'd first gotten into
(09:05):
the car. Then we were at the mouth of the
Candy and I could see the road dark and lonely
up ahead. The car twisted and swerved my arm ate
from his strong fingers that had dug into it when
I tried to jump off. I looked at him from
the corner of my arm.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
He hadn't seem like a criminal back of the driving, honey,
didn't seem like right now. This jar was black from
eating a chas so his face, well, it.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
Wasn't like a criminals at all.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
It was so tired.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
What's staring at me? Oh?
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Look, I didn't know anything about your honest, I didn't.
Speaker 8 (09:50):
Please let me go.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
You know something about me?
Speaker 7 (09:53):
Now?
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Well, I won't tell anybody whatever it is. I promise
I won't.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
A woman's promises.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
Remind me to tell your sorry about a woman on
a promise?
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Lend me Please hon me out right here.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
It's a long way back to Glendale.
Speaker 8 (10:05):
That's all better.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
It'll take me hours to get back, and you'll be miles.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Away by then, I'm not taking any chances with you.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Jim, please hold me.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
I've gotta get back.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
You said no one was waiting for you. You live alone,
don't you. No one will miss you.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
We both heard the siren. Then he looked quickly in
the rear vision mirror. Then he took a gun from
his pocket, and he turned to me.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
If that's for us and we'll stop, remember just this.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
I've used this gun before tonight, and I can use
it again if I have to.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
If I've taken you'll go first. Now listen, I'm a
doctor and you're a nurse who headed for an Americans.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
On offul pass for a wet night on gen call
it jet from Hollywood.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
Uh, I'm doctor Morgan, Officer.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
This is Nurse Johnson, emergency call. I say your identification.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
He fumbled through.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
His pocket through one hand holding a gun in my
rooms with the other motorcycle prop looked over at me.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
I thought for a moment I could sing the rite
with my eyes, and.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
Then I knew he wasn't looking at my face.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
He was looking down at my white starched blouse, which
you could see under my rain cup. He thought it
was a nurse's unit.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Here you are okay, Doc shry I stopped him. I
guess him, Minna, what's the matter?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Guess wanted to tell you, And rains started to slide
up their ways.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Take it easy, pants, I will.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
You're not doctor Morgan? Are you?
Speaker 4 (12:06):
What are you used to?
Speaker 6 (12:30):
And then we came on the landslide.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
It wasn't a big one, but it made a terrible
mess of the road. He didn't slow down, and the
car swore crazily, was slipped from one.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Side of the highway to the other.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Suddenly I saw so the whole wear and it took down.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
I looked over at him. He was tense, his ruthless turned.
What if he touched the wheeling?
Speaker 8 (12:54):
He shot the collar to refreshed.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
I hope it never moved.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I couldn't.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
We would stuck, hopelessly stuck.
Speaker 10 (13:05):
But what the look?
Speaker 6 (13:07):
Suddenly the car was stilled with light. A car come
on a curve behind us. This might be by chance.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Remember I don't have this done. Don't try anything. Say
let's stock here. Could you give us a push? We'll
have some California husband, tell me with you, I'll have
to get out. I'll have to put something under the wair.
Speaker 10 (13:33):
You stay here, I stay there.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
There were some bushes by the side of the road.
If I could reach him, I could perhaps run up
the side.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Of the hill and hide none in the morning, make
my way back down the canyon. I carefully turned the
handle of the door.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
I could see him.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
In the mirror. He was at the back of the
I used the door gently open, put one foot out.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
I was just sliding out when I heard it any place.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
So there, give me that rank coat.
Speaker 10 (14:11):
Why I need something dry to stuff under this wheel.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
But he practically lifted off my back, wounded into a ball,
and bending down. He stuck it under the wheel, gun
stuck out in his back pocket.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
If I could get it, if I could lay my
hands on it, I held my birth and reached out.
Seemed so how Then I finally touched it, and then
I snatched it from his pocket, swippling.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Give me your gun.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
I'm going. You can't help me now, No, you stay
right where you are.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
I won't hurt you.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
All I want to do is get home.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I'm going, But.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
If you follow me up, what I'll kill you.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
I don't think you will.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
I will do you think I'm afraid, aren't you No,
I don't care what happens to you.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
You're a murderer.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
You killed somebody, didn't anything.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
I didn't, But I do know, and I'm gonna tell.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
The police to say where you are, my dog. I'm
not a fight of shoot.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
So bad.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I used up all of those tonight. He could have
filled me full of holes.
Speaker 10 (15:16):
I give you that.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Come and get in my car.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Are you gonna kill me?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
What do you think?
Speaker 6 (15:49):
We were nearing the top of the canyon. Now, the
road was very steep, the rain had let up. It
was just fizzling.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Now.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
Even though he hadn't.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Answered my question, I knew the answer he was they
kill me. I wouldn't get back home tonight, not tonight
or any other night.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
That was funny.
Speaker 8 (16:08):
I sometimes just say hate.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
That little apartment in mine for nothing ever happened but tonight.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
And then, for some strange reason, I've thought about Ruth.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
What would she say tomorrow when I didn't show.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Up at work? And I wondered where they'd find my body?
Speaker 7 (16:29):
Oh, here we are, look out the mountains, top of
the world.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Suddenly we came over the crest of the hill and
way down below the city stretched out for miles millions
of lights glittering in the rain.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
For a moment I forgot everything was the most beautiful
sight I've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Ever been up here before? No nice soon.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (17:11):
I used to come up here with a girl once.
We used to sit and talk for hours.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Come on, we'll get a better view before we get out.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
I knew it was foolish to argue with him, so
I followed him.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
But as he walked over towards the edge, I became frightened.
It was such a steep.
Speaker 9 (17:27):
Drunk Well, come on, I'm afraid to get so close
to the edge.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
You won't fall. Fluck. That's Los Angeles over there.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
That bright line of lights is Western Avenue. I went
to school somewhere along and there. I used to get
in all sorts of trouble at school that I got.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Buy a manager. Everyone said I'd go out of it. Oh,
over that way towards the ocean. That's Westwood.
Speaker 10 (18:04):
That's where she lived, this girl I was telling me about.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
That was the best part of my life. I guess.
Speaker 10 (18:13):
That's when they said marriage and a wife would straighten
me out.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Marriage and a wife would straighten me out. In Westwood,
they said.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Kay, does your wife still live there.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
No, she's dead.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 10 (18:34):
You needn't be.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I killed her?
Speaker 7 (18:39):
Why because she couldn't keep her promises?
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Did you kill her tonight?
Speaker 5 (18:49):
No?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Long time ago?
Speaker 10 (18:56):
Jerry said, I was insane, but I think it was
the same as thing I ever did.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
They put me in an asylum. Did you know what
it's like being locked the year after year when you
know there's nothing wrong?
Speaker 6 (19:12):
No, no, I don't.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
It isn't good. You're doing anything to get out an
see everything I knew, and he was.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
I could keep him talking. Maybe a car would come along,
maybe something would happen. It was my only chance.
Speaker 10 (19:32):
Maybe he's thinking about you.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
You killed someone else tonight, didn't you?
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Yes, doctor Morgan, Yes, he was one of the men.
I thought. I was insane?
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Why did you do it?
Speaker 7 (19:48):
I wanted his car to get away, and I didn't
want to be locked up anymore.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Oh but they'll catch you.
Speaker 10 (19:56):
No, they don't want to find a doctor for several days.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
I saw to that.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
How can you be so sure?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I do, think, Sterling, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Now?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
First I'm going to and then I guess I'll go souths.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
I knew what he meant by that pause, and started
to back away slowly. I'd made a mistake by reminding
him in the present.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
My hands went.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Instinctively to my apron pocket for something to defend myself with.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
I knew there was a pencil there.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
It was shot.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Maybe I could scratch him or hurt him someway with it.
Speaker 9 (20:37):
But when I reached for it, I thought something else
instead of something cold hawk. I was puzzled for a moment,
and then I remembered it was a shaker I've picked
up at the drive that.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Still, and then he started moving towards me.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Me with only a pencil and a shaker to defend
myself with.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
It's too bad I came into that drive him tonight.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Why did you?
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Because I was because I hadn't eaten for a long time.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Once you're afraid someone would see you.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
No alarm of gone?
Speaker 8 (21:08):
How'd you know you?
Speaker 10 (21:11):
I formerly you hadn't rolled that window down.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Well, if you're sorry, why don't you let me go?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
It's too late? What's that?
Speaker 6 (21:21):
What is sudden movement? His arms were around me in
a tight em place. I started the.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Screen, but suddenly his lips closed over mine, pushing my
head back roughly.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
He kissed me. I could scarcely breathe that. I I
felt that calm his headlights on. It's like a spotler.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Just look at this view, will you.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
I'll have to do this in a fature sometime.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Can't you see you're interrupting something? Come on?
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Drive on?
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Okay, okay?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
And in all this rain, you think people would have
some more?
Speaker 6 (22:00):
He held me a moment longer.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
When the car had gone, he released me. My pencil
had fallen to the ground. I was left with only
the shaker in my hand. I fingered it nervously end
and I felt the top coming off. I felt the
contents spilling in my hand.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
What have you got in your hand?
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Nothing?
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Give it to me, No, give it to me.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
He cut my rest and.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Pulled me toward him.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
We were moving to the edge of the cryst, but
my other hand was free, and I threw the content
of the shaker into his face. His hands flew to
his face and the nuffer to clear his eyes, but
I knew it was too late.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
The pepperate blind and he one sf for me, and
I stepped aside quickly, and he slipped in the mountt.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
His hands went on the set of himself, the claws.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
And Then I saw him falling on the rack too
of the head.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Then my strength gave Lena felt myself sinking down to
the ground.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
I don't know how long I must have been there,
but when I came to it was raining again. I
was soaked to the skin, and there was mudcakes in
my hair.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
There was no one in sight. The lights of Lost
fifty Los Angeles stretched out in a pattering peacefully below,
and I knew that somewhere the foot of those hills
was Glendale.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
My apartment.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Rose slowly to my feet, and I started back toward
the road. Somehow, everything that had happened seemed unreal, like
a dream.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
Everything but the way he kissed me.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
Keep me crime out.

Speaker 5 (01:04):
I wish I hadn't let Ruth talk me into serving
that last car that came into the drive in that
rainy night.
Speaker 6 (01:10):
It was late and I was tired.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
I've been on my feet all day carrying heavy trays,
hopping through it with impatient people blaring their headlights on
and off. In my eyes, Heaven knows there are a
lot of impatient people in Hollywood we call hops.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Don't have an easy time of it. Talk about your
mail carriers. Well, we're the same raining or blowing or
boiling hot.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
It's got to get through with that prey and all
the reason why tired, hungry.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
People would sit back in their cars. That's million dollars
worth of service for a ten cent to why do
we do it?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Sure there are other.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Ways of making a living in Hollywood, but not many
that hold that glithering promise that maybe someday, somehow, maybe
someone will see.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Why that girl looks like Lana turning.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
Yes, Lisa Hare's done up that way.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I think I could use a renee the musical version
the four Side Saga or should be great in color.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
I think I'll have go to come up with the studio.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
Yes, I know, maybe.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
It doesn't happen often, but there's always the chance, and
there's always that hope.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
That's what keeps with going, I guess.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
But there are other things that can happen in the
driving that are on the menu, like that rainy night
I was telling you about when I let Ruth talk
me into serving that last car that.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
No listen, please take your order. Well you I got three.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Cars and the clock what it is nearly midnight?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I'm off off.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Please just once moment.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
My day's waiting not to the same, And what's got
with him? Can't you read?
Speaker 7 (02:40):
Please do not haunt your horn.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
It looks quair enough to me. It's a doctor's kay,
you see. Is probably no rush anyway, He's nobody waiting
for you all.
Speaker 7 (02:47):
Thanks mil.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
It was true. I had no one waiting for me,
only the bus that was going to take me to Glendale,
where I lived alone in an apartment.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
So I buttoned up my raincoat and the menu.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Over to the car.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Good evening, that was mind the menu.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
It's a black coffee, a plot of it, and I
have sand which, please hurry.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
When I took his order over to the car, the
window was rolled.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Up a little too far and enterpered with the tray.
So I reached him to wind it down, and I
touched the handle.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
It wet.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
It's kind of sticky too, but I didn't think anything
about it.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
I got the tray firmly setting and I looked at
my hand. It was this leathers blood. I looked up
quickly at him.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
Oh, I'm sorry, I doctor Morgan's.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I just had an emergency in the car.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
Oh an accident, yes, sunset and vine quite a crash.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I just happened, ye, and I took one of them
to the hospital.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Gee, that's a shame.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Yes, it's too bad.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
I walked back trying to wipe the blood from my
hand with a paper napkin.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
It it gave me a creepy feeling to have somebody's
blood on my hands. Then I went in the wash.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
I was trying to keep close track of the time,
and I was a little worried because the big drive
in the clock wasn't right.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
It sometimes ran slow. So I took a coin from
my apron pocket.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
I figured it was worth a nickel and I to
miss that last rus to Glendale.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
I walked over the payphone and I was about to
drop the nickel in my.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Missed out and he was leaning on the horn and
beckoning to me.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
At the same time. I put the nickel back in
my pocket and hurried out to him.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I'm sorry, but I'm in a hurry. I having time
for this coffee to cool off. I'll take the sandwich.
Glitched me. How much do I owe you?
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Heaby forty two cents.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Here you are.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
I hope I didn't interrupt your phone call. It wasn't important,
was him?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
No?
Speaker 6 (04:50):
I was just checking on the sun. I don't want
to miss my butt.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
There was a clock right over your head.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Well that's usually wrong.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
If I have the time, it's about four minutes twelve. Oh,
I'm going to miss my What time do you leave?
Speaker 8 (05:01):
It's midnight for Hollywood and a bray out off.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Then i'll take you. I'm going right back, now.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Would you I'll take the train and i'll be right back.
I might still be able.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
To make it, okay, And I heard it.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
I hooked a tray from the window. I gave it
a jerk and I felt crashing to the ground.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Oh dear, whoaah, look, look, help me with these things
where I'm gonna miss my bar.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I can't go ahead, and no, rock get it.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
I'll get it.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
We picked the things up quickly, and Roof went off
with the tray.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
I started to run around the other side of the
car when I knowed something.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Shining on the ground. It's one of the shakers that
are falling from the tray. I picked it up and
started toward the driveway.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Why don't you just put that in your pocket. You
can return it tomorrow. Come on, you're gonna miss your fie.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
I put the shape in my age and pocket, and
I rushed over to the other side of the car.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
He opened the door for me, and I was just
about to get in when I hesitated up.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
I wasn't used to doing this kind of thing. Yeah,
the girls sometimes let their customers drive him.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Home, but I never did.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Still, he looks so decent, and come on, you'll miss it.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Then he reached out.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Was that they helped me in, And I thought that
he was really concerned about my missing the bus, because
it seemed to pull me.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Into the car the first thing I knew I was
sitting beside him. Then the door slam and we were
driving on.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
I was a little uneasy, but when I started saw it's.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Only a few blocks. I won't be in the car along.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
I suppose you're in a hurry because someone's waiting for you.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
No, I live alone, but i'd hate to walk back
to Glendale in this rain.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
You won't have to walk.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Well, this is very nice of you. Were I appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Not at all. Uh, would you mind rolling up that
widow on your side there was a crash, of course.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Oh, you can let me off at that corner over there,
all right, anywhere along here'll be all right, this is time.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Right over there by the stop sign.
Speaker 9 (07:17):
You're going to the slop signal, Am I, yes, but
I'll get off over.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
There by the other one, my bus. You're turning the
wrong way, am I?
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (07:27):
This This goes up to the Long canyon, does it?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
You thought you were pretty smart, didn't you.
Speaker 8 (07:39):
I don't know what you mean.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Please, honey, out of this car.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Right to the phone. You thought I wouldn't see you.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
The phone that I was calling about the time other
side was at the.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Time that clock over your head, But that.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Clock's wrong sometimes.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
Besides, who would I call?
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Why should I call? Any What about you?
Speaker 4 (07:55):
You were calling the police?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Nother side wasn't let me out of this car?
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Who were gonna catch up? Bus? You were going straight
to the police, That's where you were going.
Speaker 9 (08:02):
But why why should I go to the police?
Speaker 4 (08:04):
You know why?
Speaker 8 (08:05):
No?
Speaker 7 (08:05):
Really I don't because your size, your size, blood, I.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Don't he be there.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
You won't need to try to open that door. Now
we'll be getting along.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
After I made that last try to get out, he
broke the handle of the door. All the strength seemed
to go out of my body. I just sat there
as would go on. He tossed a few people and
some cars in the next block, and I try to
call it, But then I knew why. He asked me
to roll up the window when I'd first gotten into
(09:05):
the car. Then we were at the mouth of the
Candy and I could see the road dark and lonely
up ahead. The car twisted and swerved my arm ate
from his strong fingers that had dug into it when
I tried to jump off. I looked at him from
the corner of my arm.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
He hadn't seem like a criminal back of the driving, honey,
didn't seem like right now. This jar was black from
eating a chas so his face, well, it.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
Wasn't like a criminals at all.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
It was so tired.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
What's staring at me? Oh?
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Look, I didn't know anything about your honest, I didn't.
Speaker 8 (09:50):

Speaker 4 (09:51):
You know something about me?
Speaker 7 (09:53):
Now?
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Well, I won't tell anybody whatever it is. I promise
I won't.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
A woman's promises.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
Remind me to tell your sorry about a woman on
a promise?
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Lend me Please hon me out right here.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
It's a long way back to Glendale.
Speaker 8 (10:05):
That's all better.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
It'll take me hours to get back, and you'll be miles.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Away by then, I'm not taking any chances with you.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Jim, please hold me.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
I've gotta get back.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
You said no one was waiting for you. You live alone,
don't you. No one will miss you.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
We both heard the siren. Then he looked quickly in
the rear vision mirror. Then he took a gun from
his pocket, and he turned to me.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
If that's for us and we'll stop, remember just this.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
I've used this gun before tonight, and I can use
it again if I have to.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
If I've taken you'll go first. Now listen, I'm a
doctor and you're a nurse who headed for an Americans.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
On offul pass for a wet night on gen call
it jet from Hollywood.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
Uh, I'm doctor Morgan, Officer.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
This is Nurse Johnson, emergency call. I say your identification.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
He fumbled through.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
His pocket through one hand holding a gun in my
rooms with the other motorcycle prop looked over at me.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
I thought for a moment I could sing the rite
with my eyes, and.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
Then I knew he wasn't looking at my face.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
He was looking down at my white starched blouse, which
you could see under my rain cup. He thought it
was a nurse's unit.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Here you are okay, Doc shry I stopped him. I
guess him, Minna, what's the matter?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Guess wanted to tell you, And rains started to slide
up their ways.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Take it easy, pants, I will.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
You're not doctor Morgan? Are you?
Speaker 4 (12:06):
What are you used to?
Speaker 6 (12:30):
And then we came on the landslide.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
It wasn't a big one, but it made a terrible
mess of the road. He didn't slow down, and the
car swore crazily, was slipped from one.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Side of the highway to the other.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Suddenly I saw so the whole wear and it took down.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
I looked over at him. He was tense, his ruthless turned.
What if he touched the wheeling?
Speaker 8 (12:54):
He shot the collar to refreshed.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
I hope it never moved.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I couldn't.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
We would stuck, hopelessly stuck.
Speaker 10 (13:05):
But what the look?
Speaker 6 (13:07):
Suddenly the car was stilled with light. A car come
on a curve behind us. This might be by chance.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Remember I don't have this done. Don't try anything. Say
let's stock here. Could you give us a push? We'll
have some California husband, tell me with you, I'll have
to get out. I'll have to put something under the wair.
Speaker 10 (13:33):
You stay here, I stay there.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
There were some bushes by the side of the road.
If I could reach him, I could perhaps run up
the side.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Of the hill and hide none in the morning, make
my way back down the canyon. I carefully turned the
handle of the door.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
I could see him.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
In the mirror. He was at the back of the
I used the door gently open, put one foot out.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
I was just sliding out when I heard it any place.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
So there, give me that rank coat.
Speaker 10 (14:11):
Why I need something dry to stuff under this wheel.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
But he practically lifted off my back, wounded into a ball,
and bending down. He stuck it under the wheel, gun
stuck out in his back pocket.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
If I could get it, if I could lay my
hands on it, I held my birth and reached out.
Seemed so how Then I finally touched it, and then
I snatched it from his pocket, swippling.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Give me your gun.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
I'm going. You can't help me now, No, you stay
right where you are.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
I won't hurt you.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
All I want to do is get home.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I'm going, But.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
If you follow me up, what I'll kill you.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
I don't think you will.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
I will do you think I'm afraid, aren't you No,
I don't care what happens to you.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
You're a murderer.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
You killed somebody, didn't anything.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
I didn't, But I do know, and I'm gonna tell.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
The police to say where you are, my dog. I'm
not a fight of shoot.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
So bad.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I used up all of those tonight. He could have
filled me full of holes.
Speaker 10 (15:16):
I give you that.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Come and get in my car.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Are you gonna kill me?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
What do you think?
Speaker 6 (15:49):
We were nearing the top of the canyon. Now, the
road was very steep, the rain had let up. It
was just fizzling.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Now.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
Even though he hadn't.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Answered my question, I knew the answer he was they
kill me. I wouldn't get back home tonight, not tonight
or any other night.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
That was funny.
Speaker 8 (16:08):
I sometimes just say hate.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
That little apartment in mine for nothing ever happened but tonight.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
And then, for some strange reason, I've thought about Ruth.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
What would she say tomorrow when I didn't show.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Up at work? And I wondered where they'd find my body?
Speaker 7 (16:29):
Oh, here we are, look out the mountains, top of
the world.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Suddenly we came over the crest of the hill and
way down below the city stretched out for miles millions
of lights glittering in the rain.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
For a moment I forgot everything was the most beautiful
sight I've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Ever been up here before? No nice soon.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (17:11):
I used to come up here with a girl once.
We used to sit and talk for hours.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Come on, we'll get a better view before we get out.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
I knew it was foolish to argue with him, so
I followed him.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
But as he walked over towards the edge, I became frightened.
It was such a steep.
Speaker 9 (17:27):
Drunk Well, come on, I'm afraid to get so close
to the edge.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
You won't fall. Fluck. That's Los Angeles over there.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
That bright line of lights is Western Avenue. I went
to school somewhere along and there. I used to get
in all sorts of trouble at school that I got.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Buy a manager. Everyone said I'd go out of it. Oh,
over that way towards the ocean. That's Westwood.
Speaker 10 (18:04):
That's where she lived, this girl I was telling me about.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
That was the best part of my life. I guess.
Speaker 10 (18:13):
That's when they said marriage and a wife would straighten
me out.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Marriage and a wife would straighten me out. In Westwood,
they said.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Kay, does your wife still live there.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
No, she's dead.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 10 (18:34):
You needn't be.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I killed her?
Speaker 7 (18:39):
Why because she couldn't keep her promises?
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Did you kill her tonight?
Speaker 5 (18:49):
No?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Long time ago?
Speaker 10 (18:56):
Jerry said, I was insane, but I think it was
the same as thing I ever did.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
They put me in an asylum. Did you know what
it's like being locked the year after year when you
know there's nothing wrong?
Speaker 6 (19:12):
No, no, I don't.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
It isn't good. You're doing anything to get out an
see everything I knew, and he was.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
I could keep him talking. Maybe a car would come along,
maybe something would happen. It was my only chance.
Speaker 10 (19:32):
Maybe he's thinking about you.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
You killed someone else tonight, didn't you?
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Yes, doctor Morgan, Yes, he was one of the men.
I thought. I was insane?
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Why did you do it?
Speaker 7 (19:48):
I wanted his car to get away, and I didn't
want to be locked up anymore.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Oh but they'll catch you.
Speaker 10 (19:56):
No, they don't want to find a doctor for several days.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
I saw to that.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
How can you be so sure?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I do, think, Sterling, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Now?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
First I'm going to and then I guess I'll go souths.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
I knew what he meant by that pause, and started
to back away slowly. I'd made a mistake by reminding
him in the present.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
My hands went.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Instinctively to my apron pocket for something to defend myself with.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
I knew there was a pencil there.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
It was shot.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Maybe I could scratch him or hurt him someway with it.
Speaker 9 (20:37):
But when I reached for it, I thought something else
instead of something cold hawk. I was puzzled for a moment,
and then I remembered it was a shaker I've picked
up at the drive that.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Still, and then he started moving towards me.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Me with only a pencil and a shaker to defend
myself with.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
It's too bad I came into that drive him tonight.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Why did you?
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Because I was because I hadn't eaten for a long time.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Once you're afraid someone would see you.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
No alarm of gone?
Speaker 8 (21:08):
How'd you know you?
Speaker 10 (21:11):
I formerly you hadn't rolled that window down.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Well, if you're sorry, why don't you let me go?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
It's too late? What's that?
Speaker 6 (21:21):
What is sudden movement? His arms were around me in
a tight em place. I started the.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Screen, but suddenly his lips closed over mine, pushing my
head back roughly.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
He kissed me. I could scarcely breathe that. I I
felt that calm his headlights on. It's like a spotler.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Just look at this view, will you.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
I'll have to do this in a fature sometime.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Can't you see you're interrupting something? Come on?
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Drive on?
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Okay, okay?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
And in all this rain, you think people would have
some more?
Speaker 6 (22:00):
He held me a moment longer.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
When the car had gone, he released me. My pencil
had fallen to the ground. I was left with only
the shaker in my hand. I fingered it nervously end
and I felt the top coming off. I felt the
contents spilling in my hand.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
What have you got in your hand?
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Nothing?
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Give it to me, No, give it to me.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
He cut my rest and.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Pulled me toward him.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
We were moving to the edge of the cryst, but
my other hand was free, and I threw the content
of the shaker into his face. His hands flew to
his face and the nuffer to clear his eyes, but
I knew it was too late.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
The pepperate blind and he one sf for me, and
I stepped aside quickly, and he slipped in the mountt.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
His hands went on the set of himself, the claws.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
And Then I saw him falling on the rack too
of the head.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Then my strength gave Lena felt myself sinking down to
the ground.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
I don't know how long I must have been there,
but when I came to it was raining again. I
was soaked to the skin, and there was mudcakes in
my hair.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
There was no one in sight. The lights of Lost
fifty Los Angeles stretched out in a pattering peacefully below,
and I knew that somewhere the foot of those hills
was Glendale.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
My apartment.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Rose slowly to my feet, and I started back toward
the road. Somehow, everything that had happened seemed unreal, like
a dream.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
Everything but the way he kissed me.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
Keep me crime out.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
