Speaker 3 (01:06):
They say they got fifty eight million jobs in this country,
fifty eight million jobs, and I had to pick this one.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Well, that's the way it goes.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Some guys it got some special ability that other guys
don't have. They just get picked out of the crowd,
I guess in spite of themselves. Well, let's say I'm
walking along Central Avenue, and that's saying much attention to
anything in particular.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Then I see this sign help wanted.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
It says jobs, and it's got a list of different
kinds of jobs, like chauffeur, house painters, salesmen, and there's
nothing so funny about that. But then I see what
kind of does they're paying? Brother, what kind of does
they're paying? I'm thinking, maybe this inflation ain't such a
bad idea. After him and I walk in, Well, let's
(01:49):
fute A bunch of guys in there naturally sit around
on bensures. And I sit down, and every so often
a door open and a puffle up, A little gray
haired guy comes out. He picks out a guy, and
the guy goes a sort of office with it, and
that's the last we ever see it. So this keeps
happening for a while, and I'm thinking this guy must
really be handing out the jobs.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
And then the door opens again and the guy is
looking at me. Okay, you me, yes, you.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Sit down. What's your name? Walter's first name? What's the matter?
Don't you know?

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Don't try to clown with me, Powell? What's your name?
Listen for your information? My first name is Sylvester. Only
I don't like the name Silvester, so most people don't
call me Silvester on account of it's better for them
that way, so they call me muscles.

Guns to me are like the measles. I don't worry
about them. Way, I just got a healthy respect for him.
I like to keep my distance. That so, especially when
the other guys got him an I don't.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Yeah, I think you're gonna be all right for what? Huh?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (05:09):
They sounds just like a couple of months to me,
especially that guy John.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
I guess nobody ever does why recognize their own voice
when they hear it. That guy John sounds enough like
you to be your twin brother. I guess the guy
can't help what he says.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Do you mean I sound like that? I mean you're hired.
What a price to pay for a job.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Look, Uh, go through that back door there to the
back and wait for me. I got a couple of
things to do and then we'll get busy.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Oh okay, but this better be on the level, because
so far it's your stinks.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Oh oh, bud me? Yeah, you were you all alone
in here? I why, well, I didn't mean to interrupt
or anything. Only he sent me in here. Oh it's
quite all right. Don't just half quite at home, Tony.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I hope you won't mind if I return to the
pasilla of my magazine.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Uh. Oh, oh, you were reading. I like to read
myself sometimes. I'm sure you're working for this guy.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I'm afraid that's confidential.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
So he gave you that too. Why, yes, are you
working for it? I don't know if you could call
it working. Well, didn't he tell you anything? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
All about how I sounded like a guy named John?
And what did I think about guns?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Sermon? Yeah? Oh, what are you supposed to do? Well?
I don't know exactly. That sounds just as crazy as
is what I'm supposed to do. But you think i'm
a photographer. Oh, you take pictures? Uh huh.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I'm justin amateur really, but I'm getting some very good pictures.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I showed him some a sixteen.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Millimeter what's that movies?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
With this camera here?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
See?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Oh oh, well, well, if this is some kind of
gig for the movies, then it makes sense, they say,
in that racket, everybody's crazy. Well, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I think that he wanted me to take some pictures
of some kind of an affair, you know, a wedding
or something.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
What am I supposed to do? Gives the dride away?
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Oh you too, get acquainted?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Oh we were making this stuff? Good? Good?
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Okay, Now, look I got all your instructions written down here.
Everything you're supposed to do. You take a train to
Woodbridge and walk, not take a cab walk to a
certain house as a map here you can't listen. Well, yeah, yeah, sure,
sure I'll be there, but I've got to go separately.
There's a reason for.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That, So beat that.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Now your train these and a half an hour.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
You can read over your instructions on the way. Okay,
I'm playing along. So this was on the level, but
it better be.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
It's on the level, all right, But listen, Yeah, don't
you do anything that's not in those instructions.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
See for I should.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
I am just telling you because I wouldn't want to
see anything happen to you, either of you.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
That should have been a tip off site there, especially
for a smart guy like me. But if you must know.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Oh, by this time, I am thinking about this dame
who is a slick chick. But we're refined too, you
know what I mean. And I'm thinking this.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Is probably the big break for her if it is
on the level, so I ought to help her through
with it, and so I do.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
By the time we get out of this woodbridge where
it's getting along pretty good, except for one thing.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
We start off from the railway station. Like it says
on the map.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
The guy gave us is working for this certain house,
only it gets wilder and wilder. Where we're going right
into the woods must be a couple of miles, and
then all of a sudden there's a house. Well I
should have been a tip off too.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Go into this map, it's gotta be. If you call
me that once more, I'll bend.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
What did you say?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I said I would bend every effort for you, But
please don't call me that. Well, I just can't call
you muscle. It's not refined.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Well, then this must be the place, but it's certainly
a funny twice to have any kind of given.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Don't look like it's can live him for twenty years.
There's going to be a stone. Well, we better just
go on inside. That's what it has to do. But
do it or it sound like it's ever been open.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Oh he's spooky in here.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah, and I can't find a light anywhere. That nice missy.
Oh so that's Brod. I don't even know his name.
To you, No, and I wish I didn't know him.
Close the door.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Sorry, sorry, it's mean. Oh h that's the idea. Now
we're gonna have some light.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Oh well, well it's nice on the inside, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Really really fine.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, it used to be an old hideout. Now, come
on in the front, rook. Yeah, I'll give you a pitch. Well,
I don't think we're in any hurry to know, because
we are. See all right, now.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Listen, in about an hour, there's gonna be a guy
come out here to take a bribe. He's quite a
big guy in this town, and he's taking a big
bride two hundred thousand dollars, two hundred grant. Yes, he's
gonna take the money from another guy that he's never
seen before, a guy named John. You're gonna be John.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Oh, oh, so, I'm gonna be sure that's right.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
The guy you hurd on the record in my office,
the guy you sound like, the other guy you heard,
is the guy that's taking the money.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Oh yeah, well you can count me out. This whole
thing smells. And if I hadn't known that you were
getting a young girl a minute, there are only two
people in this world who know about this.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Me and who are you? Just call me?
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Tim? Me and Grover T.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Wyatt. You know who he is.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
You don't mean Governor Wyatt?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yes, Why he's nice.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I voted for him.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Why he's one of the best looking men up for
his age.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
I mean, why, it's a swell guy, clean as a
whistle for twenty years, but he made one little mistake
back there, and a certain guy is caught onto it. Well,
all I can say is that this thing doesn't come
off if he doesn't here for me by three o'clock
this afternoon. Well, Governor Wiats, said David Pidgeon.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Well, I don't care if he's a dead boss. Two
hundred grand is plenty of letters, and that means plenty
of trouble. And what about this John that I'm supposed
to be.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
He knows about it too. He's been our contact man
on the phone with the.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Scripture and all I don't like it. And how I'm here,
what are you just talking about? Is never gonna happen
to you. There's a bonus of five a piece, and
it for both of you. So we stick on next
out for a lousy five bucks.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Five hundred bucks, that's what I said, A lousy five.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Five hundred that's what I said. Where where where is
this bump that's been given trouble to the governor? I
will bend him around like a press.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
We don't need any of that. We're just going to
get him good this time and that's the end of them.
And you want me to take pictures of the years
now you're getting smart, Yes, yes, from the landing up fair.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
That's why we've got so much light in here. Will
it will it be okay?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
It will be quite around? I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
But but there's just one thing. What so this guy
shows up and he thinks I'm John because he's never
seen Sean.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
But what if Charn shows up?
Speaker 4 (12:05):
But now this John was sort of a double crosser.
He won't show up. How do you know he had
a little accident this morning, he's dead?
Speaker 2 (12:24):

tale well calculated to keep you in suspense.

Me and this guy called Tim, just working for this
governor called Wyatt, and this slick chick called Helen.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It's going to take the pictures, just sitting and waiting
for a guy.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
That's going to come and take a bribe with two
hundred brands from another guy called John. Or ye, I'm
going to be John and a kind of my sound
just like him. And this other guy has never seen
him in any way. That John has just got himself
knocked ug. You don't get it, neither do I. But
for five hundred bucks, who might have to know everybody's business?
And Helen, she's sitting there as cool. So bride's two
(15:00):
hundred grand and dead guy's name John was just something
she run across at the time store novel be counted.
So we go over what I'm supposed to say to
this guy a couple of times, and we saw outside
is that it works all the time. And then we
hear the knock on the door.

That's him. That's him. Now the dose all there in
the briefcation. Now you know what to do, Helen, Helen,
quick up on that. Any question where you gonna fight

Excuse me, is this mister Hampum? No? This is John?
Oh I guess I lost my way. Greats way is
the old three faces for midnight? Okay? I knew year
was anyway? Come on in, you're alone. What do you
(15:54):
think I'm asking? Two hundred grand and I gotta answer questions?
Two nuts? Okay? Oh you got again in this briefcase,
two hundred genes. I don't like that. We're supposed to
be smaller. We're supposed Well, that's how you're getting it.
You want to count it for it? Better be right? Yeah,

(16:16):
hundreds yeah, but you'll never get expended. Oh it's plus
yeah with six shoes. Do you like it? Well, that's

the station through the foreign range. But even though like
cold water don't seem to make my drains work any better,
we don't get back to town.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Until about four thirty, and I still don't have to
figure it out. Helen all, I guess you can't blame her.
She just don't seem to have much experience in these things.
So we're sitting there under norny argue.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
That's still good.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Why don't we just go to the plee?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Because somebody in town.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Sugar, there's three guys been knocked off today. We were
there when it happened to two of them. And how
do we know that that guy tim Polis was on.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
The level the police telling yeah, with a rougher hose.
And here's another thing. We're carrying around.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
A briefcase full of two hundred grand and somebody else
in's gold and that ain't hey, and it ain't good.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Oh my goodness, what's so dad about?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
It's all they want to do is get it you
till from telling Look, I'm not really a tough guy.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
See, all I know is what I see in the movies.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
But I know that when you're walking around with that
much hot money, you have to wake up someday and
finds you've been living on borrowed time.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Didn't you see what happened for that guy in that
movie The Killers.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Oh yeah, that was not good.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Who Bert launch guys are so sorry for what. I
don't want to.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Wind up no Burt Lankness even to make you feel
sorry for him. So the first thing we got to
do is ditch this dough.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Kids really feel this, I mean.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Before they find those two stiffs out there, and let's
start trying to find a funny looking guy and a
kid looking dame.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
With a sackful of dough. We gotta find the parties
that belong to it before they find us. Now you
catch on, but we can't get it back to the
moon that belongs to he.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yeah, and he said to this nobody in on the
feel of him and the governant the government.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Well that's what we'll do. Still, just call the Oh yeah,
how do you do that? You just will come up
in the classified heads.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
As a nation, somebody must know.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Is none. That's always a.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Very important name. It might be worth a try, it is.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
There's probably a phone home.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Side and it too. Yeah, but call him the governor
just like God, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
The extra extreet governor commits suicide.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Paper bud beat and I got enough to worry me.
Without the the governor. Helen the governor, he's dead.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Well, of course, now I remember what that guy said
about the governor being a dead pigeon if he didn't
get wored by three o'clock. But it's too late now
for that to do anybody much good, us or him either.
There was just one more chance that employment agents the
rain it almost stopped now, and we went over to
Central Avenue to look for it. Of course, this is
the place.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
I'd recognize it anytime.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Where's the sign with the jobs on it?
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Maybe they turn the down.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
When his range to keep the lettuce from running.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, maybe the joint looks closed to mean it is closed. Hey,
anybody in there? Hey, open up, I'm on, I'm open up.
What do you want? We want to see the boss.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
I'm in charge here.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
What do you want? Well, we we were sort of
looking for a couple of jobs. I don't have no jobs.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
I'm just trying to rent this place.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
It's vacant. Vacant. Isn't this an employment agency us? Since
this morning?
Speaker 4 (20:18):
You want to rent it?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Look, this is kind of important to us.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
The guy that had it before, he was a sort
of tough looking little gray haired guy.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Huh, yeah, that's a guy guying the name of the Whiting,
George Whiting. I love his name.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
It's him, Look, lady.

If you know so much what he asked.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Me for, that's sorry, right, he probably had two names.
You wouldn't know his home address, would you.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I don't know a thing about the man.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Fella.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
You gotta see him so bad. The only thing I
could advise you to do is stick around on the off.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Chance he might come back talk jobs.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
He's skiffic. Well, where we get the wrong guy? And
last crack didn't.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Help him because I knew that guy would remember us. Sure,
and now I saw the whole thing. That employment racket
was just a tony set up to catch a couple
of pupsis us.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I headed us back to the Chuchu station.

William Bendix in a remarkable tale of I'll Spend.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
They say they got fifty eight million jobs in this country,
fifty eight million jobs, and I had to pick this one.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Well, that's the way it goes.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Some guys it got some special ability that other guys
don't have. They just get picked out of the crowd,
I guess in spite of themselves. Well, let's say I'm
walking along Central Avenue, and that's saying much attention to
anything in particular.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Then I see this sign help wanted.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
It says jobs, and it's got a list of different
kinds of jobs, like chauffeur, house painters, salesmen, and there's
nothing so funny about that. But then I see what
kind of does they're paying? Brother, what kind of does
they're paying? I'm thinking, maybe this inflation ain't such a
bad idea. After him and I walk in, Well, let's
(01:49):
fute A bunch of guys in there naturally sit around
on bensures. And I sit down, and every so often
a door open and a puffle up, A little gray
haired guy comes out. He picks out a guy, and
the guy goes a sort of office with it, and
that's the last we ever see it. So this keeps
happening for a while, and I'm thinking this guy must
really be handing out the jobs.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
And then the door opens again and the guy is
looking at me. Okay, you me, yes, you.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Sit down. What's your name? Walter's first name? What's the matter?
Don't you know?

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Don't try to clown with me, Powell? What's your name?
Listen for your information? My first name is Sylvester. Only
I don't like the name Silvester, so most people don't
call me Silvester on account of it's better for them
that way, so they call me muscles.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Now you catch on?
Speaker 4 (02:45):

Guns to me are like the measles. I don't worry
about them. Way, I just got a healthy respect for him.
I like to keep my distance. That so, especially when
the other guys got him an I don't.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Yeah, I think you're gonna be all right for what? Huh?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yes, yes, what kind of a job did you want?
But I don't know. I'd been a cabby, drove a truck.
I was a salesman for a while.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
They sounds just like a couple of months to me,
especially that guy John.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
I guess nobody ever does why recognize their own voice
when they hear it. That guy John sounds enough like
you to be your twin brother. I guess the guy
can't help what he says.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Do you mean I sound like that? I mean you're hired.
What a price to pay for a job.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Look, Uh, go through that back door there to the
back and wait for me. I got a couple of
things to do and then we'll get busy.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Oh okay, but this better be on the level, because
so far it's your stinks.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Oh oh, bud me? Yeah, you were you all alone
in here? I why, well, I didn't mean to interrupt
or anything. Only he sent me in here. Oh it's
quite all right. Don't just half quite at home, Tony.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I hope you won't mind if I return to the
pasilla of my magazine.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Uh. Oh, oh, you were reading. I like to read
myself sometimes. I'm sure you're working for this guy.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I'm afraid that's confidential.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
So he gave you that too. Why, yes, are you
working for it? I don't know if you could call
it working. Well, didn't he tell you anything? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
All about how I sounded like a guy named John?
And what did I think about guns?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Sermon? Yeah? Oh, what are you supposed to do? Well?
I don't know exactly. That sounds just as crazy as
is what I'm supposed to do. But you think i'm
a photographer. Oh, you take pictures? Uh huh.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I'm justin amateur really, but I'm getting some very good pictures.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I showed him some a sixteen.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Millimeter what's that movies?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
With this camera here?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
See?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Oh oh, well, well, if this is some kind of
gig for the movies, then it makes sense, they say,
in that racket, everybody's crazy. Well, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I think that he wanted me to take some pictures
of some kind of an affair, you know, a wedding
or something.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
What am I supposed to do? Gives the dride away?
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Oh you too, get acquainted?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Oh we were making this stuff? Good? Good?
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Okay, Now, look I got all your instructions written down here.
Everything you're supposed to do. You take a train to
Woodbridge and walk, not take a cab walk to a
certain house as a map here you can't listen. Well, yeah, yeah, sure,
sure I'll be there, but I've got to go separately.
There's a reason for.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That, So beat that.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Now your train these and a half an hour.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
You can read over your instructions on the way. Okay,
I'm playing along. So this was on the level, but
it better be.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
It's on the level, all right, But listen, Yeah, don't
you do anything that's not in those instructions.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
See for I should.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
I am just telling you because I wouldn't want to
see anything happen to you, either of you.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
That should have been a tip off site there, especially
for a smart guy like me. But if you must know.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Oh, by this time, I am thinking about this dame
who is a slick chick. But we're refined too, you
know what I mean. And I'm thinking this.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Is probably the big break for her if it is
on the level, so I ought to help her through
with it, and so I do.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
By the time we get out of this woodbridge where
it's getting along pretty good, except for one thing.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
We start off from the railway station. Like it says
on the map.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
The guy gave us is working for this certain house,
only it gets wilder and wilder. Where we're going right
into the woods must be a couple of miles, and
then all of a sudden there's a house. Well I
should have been a tip off too.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Go into this map, it's gotta be. If you call
me that once more, I'll bend.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
What did you say?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I said I would bend every effort for you, But
please don't call me that. Well, I just can't call
you muscle. It's not refined.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Well, then this must be the place, but it's certainly
a funny twice to have any kind of given.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Don't look like it's can live him for twenty years.
There's going to be a stone. Well, we better just
go on inside. That's what it has to do. But
do it or it sound like it's ever been open.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Oh he's spooky in here.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah, and I can't find a light anywhere. That nice missy.
Oh so that's Brod. I don't even know his name.
To you, No, and I wish I didn't know him.
Close the door.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Sorry, sorry, it's mean. Oh h that's the idea. Now
we're gonna have some light.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Oh well, well it's nice on the inside, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Really really fine.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, it used to be an old hideout. Now, come
on in the front, rook. Yeah, I'll give you a pitch. Well,
I don't think we're in any hurry to know, because
we are. See all right, now.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Listen, in about an hour, there's gonna be a guy
come out here to take a bribe. He's quite a
big guy in this town, and he's taking a big
bride two hundred thousand dollars, two hundred grant. Yes, he's
gonna take the money from another guy that he's never
seen before, a guy named John. You're gonna be John.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Oh, oh, so, I'm gonna be sure that's right.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
The guy you hurd on the record in my office,
the guy you sound like, the other guy you heard,
is the guy that's taking the money.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Oh yeah, well you can count me out. This whole
thing smells. And if I hadn't known that you were
getting a young girl a minute, there are only two
people in this world who know about this.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Me and who are you? Just call me?
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Tim? Me and Grover T.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Wyatt. You know who he is.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
You don't mean Governor Wyatt?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yes, Why he's nice.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I voted for him.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Why he's one of the best looking men up for
his age.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
I mean, why, it's a swell guy, clean as a
whistle for twenty years, but he made one little mistake
back there, and a certain guy is caught onto it. Well,
all I can say is that this thing doesn't come
off if he doesn't here for me by three o'clock
this afternoon. Well, Governor Wiats, said David Pidgeon.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Well, I don't care if he's a dead boss. Two
hundred grand is plenty of letters, and that means plenty
of trouble. And what about this John that I'm supposed
to be.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
He knows about it too. He's been our contact man
on the phone with the.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Scripture and all I don't like it. And how I'm here,
what are you just talking about? Is never gonna happen
to you. There's a bonus of five a piece, and
it for both of you. So we stick on next
out for a lousy five bucks.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Five hundred bucks, that's what I said, A lousy five.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Five hundred that's what I said. Where where where is
this bump that's been given trouble to the governor? I
will bend him around like a press.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
We don't need any of that. We're just going to
get him good this time and that's the end of them.
And you want me to take pictures of the years
now you're getting smart, Yes, yes, from the landing up fair.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
That's why we've got so much light in here. Will
it will it be okay?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
It will be quite around? I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
But but there's just one thing. What so this guy
shows up and he thinks I'm John because he's never
seen Sean.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
But what if Charn shows up?
Speaker 4 (12:05):
But now this John was sort of a double crosser.
He won't show up. How do you know he had
a little accident this morning, he's dead?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
