It's a big, wide, wonderful world. I sang, God was.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
As I packed my suitcase. I looked out of the windows.
Speaker 10 (01:56):
The gardens were locking the patio with a peasant furniture.
Some of the girls were playing badminton somewhere in the pool.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Todd was coming for me, and I had a surprise
for him. It's a big, wide, wonderful world.
Speaker 10 (02:13):
Oh, let's see, where's my pink jacket bottom drawer? It
was here, I think, well, where's the white one?
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Oh dear.
Speaker 10 (02:23):
I couldn't seem to find anything, but I didn't care.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Todd was coming for me. It's a big, wide, wonderful world.
Speaker 10 (02:33):
I knew what he's saying. Oh, Emily, Emily, how I've
missed you. He'd hold me so hardened, love his cheek
on my hair, and kiss me. And I tell him
about the surprise.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
I'd say, yes, Missus Tallack. One moment, Missus Hallick. I
pushed the suitcase under the bed. Come in, Missus Hallick,
Your husband. Just phone at his water. You'll be here soon.
Oh Todd, such a darling. Thank you, missus Hallick. You've
been so kind to me. Will I try to be
you all the ladies. I just have to put on

Grand, careful you're foing it. Oh, I can't seem the

Speaker 10 (03:23):

look like a scarecrow in it.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Don't you look? Grand? Now you have everything, hat, gloves,
hurt of course? Well, I you remember last time he
went for a drive? Best time? Oh oh oh, I
didn't see a suitcase. I was just up packing it.
I thought I wouldn't come back tonight. Well, did you
want to get this bunch of letters in your suitcase?
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Of course?
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Give them to me, the Tod's letters. God simply adores me,
Missus Hallick. I'm sure he does.
Speaker 10 (03:57):
Just listen to this letter and you'll see, Darling, you
are my happiness.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
I can't live without you. You're as necessary as when
I looked up, she was gone.
Speaker 10 (04:12):
She had left what I was reading. I knew what
she'd do she'd tell Todd, I dropped that person.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
I think you could understand that. I could hear her
talking to Todd downstairs in the best of you.
Speaker 10 (04:30):
I appreciate all you've done for as I told you
in a letter, she would be better off in a
place where she'd get her I'll take care of it.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
That woman, that two faced kids. She came in and
told me Todd was waiting downstairs. I dance downstairs to Todd. Oh, DoD, Dodd.
Speaker 10 (04:56):
And now if you will excuse me, oh of course,
Emily come here, Oh god.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Emily, Oh Emily, how I've missed you. Don you know, dear?
Today is an important day, our eighth wedding anniversary.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Why, Todd, we were married only six weeks ago?
Speaker 10 (05:17):
Up?
Speaker 6 (05:17):
What I mean?
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Oh? I never can remember dates.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Well, we're going to celebrate, really celebrate this anniversary. We're
going to all the places we used to go, the lake,
lovers Lane. Come on, darling, let's go. How can I
tell her? What can I say? How can I do
(05:41):
the things I must do? If only we could really
turn back the clock back to before she fell down
the stairs, back to a time before the doctors told
me about the pressure on her brain, the fact that
any operation would prove fatal. We only could go back
to those wonderful days so long ago and keep them forever.
(06:03):
But there's no turning back the clock, not ever.
Speaker 10 (06:09):
Mmm, smell those time, Yes, Todd, didn't you.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Wonder why I brought a suitcase?
Speaker 8 (06:17):
Well, yes, that's because of the surprise.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Surprise.
Speaker 10 (06:20):
Yes, I'm not going back to the club, Todd, I'm.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
Coming home with you, wonderful dear.
Speaker 10 (06:26):
I'm going to make ten straights for the living room
and do the bathroom over with a full length near us,
and the kitchen lots of stunning colors.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
It'll be a big job, but we don't care to
do it, of course not.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
But let's celebrate first.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Huh. If she only could understand how much that home
of ours meant to me. If only she knew how
deeply it hurt to see her, to hear her now,
the way she has been ever since the accident, the
way she must be as long as that pressure is
on her brain. If only she could understand.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Pod didn't want to go home.
Speaker 10 (07:08):
I saw the side of his face. He was looking
straight ahead, A sad look closed upst on him.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Then we turned in at the lake, and he cheered up.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Look at that water, Emma, Yes, have you ever seen
anything so blue?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
No, nothing is blue except your arm?
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Are you darling flatterer?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Well, here's our old parking place.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Isn't it awfully quiet?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
You know, Emily, we could live a whole lifetime and
never find anything better than we have right here?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
He opened the door.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
I'll get some blankets out of the back.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
I sat there while he went around to the pack.
I was alone again. People were always.
Speaker 10 (07:52):
Going away and leaving me alone.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Oh no, no, put a grave face on it, Emily,
part of your face.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
And fix your lips.
Speaker 5 (08:00):

Yeah? Yeah, but I've got a big Denton offender.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Too, say mister Martin.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
What does the word resistor mean? Well, it's like this
billy auto light ignition engineer the ten thousand arm resistor
right into the auto light spark plug that permits a
wider spark gap setting and maintains it far longer than
any other spark plugs. The auto light resistance spark plug
is the best thing that's happened in spark plugs in years.
A great new development of auto light ignition engineers working

with the countries leading car and truck manufacturers. When you
replace your narrow gap spark plugs with the sensational new

Speaker 3 (15:03):
That was too close. She nearly caught me. But it's
too soon, too soon for her to know. I've got
to be careful. I can't wait too long. I have
to cut the celebration short. You wait here, Emily. It's
been so long since we were here.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
I'd better see what it's like.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
All right. It was a lone again, relaxing Emily. Todd
didn't come out in a minute. I'd go in after him.
What I needed was a cigarette. I opened the glove compartment.
Speaker 10 (15:37):
Handkerchiefs, nap flashlight, gloves, no cigarette.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
I pulled out an envelope, an envelope addressed Todd at
his office, marked personal. I unfolded the letter, Dear mister Ward.
Speaker 10 (15:56):
Doctor Kurnitt's today confirmed that missus Ward's condition is becoming
progressively worse and she needs more personal attention than we
can give her. And since we are not equipped to
care for hypomanic patients. We request that you make other
arrangements for her at your earliest convenience, Serie, missus hall.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
I threw the letter back in the clock upon it
and slammed the door.

I have to tell you, Darling, listen carefully. You're not well, Emily.
You're never going to be well again.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Oh yes I will, Todd, Yes I will. I'll be
a real wife to you. I'll be everything you want
me to be.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Without you, we will go together. Yes, Now rest against me, sweetheart,
close your eyes.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Well it hurt what God only an instant, dear, The
gun is so cool to my temper.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Quiet. I'll be with you in a moment.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
No, no, I don't tell you what.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Slowly I became aware of pain in my head. There
was a smell like a hospital. I thought to remember
what happened. I I'd fallen downstairs. That had been a
long time ago. There was a gun, Todd and I struggling.
(23:50):
That was did Then I heard Todd talking.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I want to tell you what happened.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
I think I know, mister Ward.
Speaker 11 (23:58):
Your wife's up with a headed dury some time ago,
which caused the bone of breath on the frontal lobe
of her brain, causing a cute hypomania.
Speaker 10 (24:05):
Isn't it right?
Speaker 6 (24:06):
Yes?
Speaker 11 (24:06):
But I've seen many people, mister Ward, whose loved one
has faced a living death, so I can imagine your thoughts.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Yes, but you must understand.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I meant to end it.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
For both of us, but when the time came, I couldn't.
I just couldn't.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Well, what happened was an accident, A very fortunate accident.
Speaker 11 (24:26):
Because the bullet which struck your wife said tonight did
what medical clients could not do.
Speaker 10 (24:30):
Huh.
Speaker 11 (24:31):
The operations necessary to remove the bullet served two purposes,
and your speed in getting her here save both her
life and her sanity. She she'll be all right after
a couple of weeks of rest, and your wife is
no longer a hypomanic. Mister Ward. If I were you,
I'd give thanks to whatever fate guided that bullet along
the course it took.
Speaker 10 (24:52):
Right then, I knew that everything was wonderful, even the
pain in my head, and Todd was.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
By my side. Emily, Emily Darling, can can you ever
forgive me?
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Forgive you? Don after what the doctor said, hold on.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
I just couldn't live without you. I wanted us always
to be together.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
No, we will be, Darling. Isn't this our eighth wedding anniversary? Yeah,

It's a big, wide, wonderful world. I sang, God was.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
Coming for me.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
As I packed my suitcase. I looked out of the windows.
Speaker 10 (01:56):
The gardens were locking the patio with a peasant furniture.
Some of the girls were playing badminton somewhere in the pool.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Todd was coming for me, and I had a surprise
for him. It's a big, wide, wonderful world.
Speaker 10 (02:13):
Oh, let's see, where's my pink jacket bottom drawer? It
was here, I think, well, where's the white one?
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Oh dear.
Speaker 10 (02:23):
I couldn't seem to find anything, but I didn't care.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Todd was coming for me. It's a big, wide, wonderful world.
Speaker 10 (02:33):
I knew what he's saying. Oh, Emily, Emily, how I've
missed you. He'd hold me so hardened, love his cheek
on my hair, and kiss me. And I tell him
about the surprise.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
I'd say, yes, Missus Tallack. One moment, Missus Hallick. I
pushed the suitcase under the bed. Come in, Missus Hallick,
Your husband. Just phone at his water. You'll be here soon.
Oh Todd, such a darling. Thank you, missus Hallick. You've
been so kind to me. Will I try to be
you all the ladies. I just have to put on

Speaker 5 (03:27):
Don't you look? Grand? Now you have everything, hat, gloves,
hurt of course? Well, I you remember last time he
went for a drive? Best time? Oh oh oh, I

want to get this bunch of letters in your suitcase?
Speaker 4 (03:49):

Speaker 5 (03:50):
Give them to me, the Tod's letters. God simply adores me,
Missus Hallick. I'm sure he does.
Speaker 10 (03:57):
Just listen to this letter and you'll see, Darling, you
are my happiness.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
I can't live without you. You're as necessary as when
I looked up, she was gone.
Speaker 10 (04:12):
She had left what I was reading. I knew what
she'd do she'd tell Todd, I dropped that person.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
I think you could understand that. I could hear her
talking to Todd downstairs in the best of you.
Speaker 10 (04:30):
I appreciate all you've done for as I told you
in a letter, she would be better off in a
place where she'd get her I'll take care of it.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
That woman, that two faced kids. She came in and
told me Todd was waiting downstairs. I dance downstairs to Todd. Oh, DoD, Dodd.
Speaker 10 (04:56):
And now if you will excuse me, oh of course,
Emily come here, Oh god.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Emily, Oh Emily, how I've missed you. Don you know, dear?
Today is an important day, our eighth wedding anniversary.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Why, Todd, we were married only six weeks ago?
Speaker 10 (05:17):
Up?
Speaker 6 (05:17):
What I mean?
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Oh? I never can remember dates.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Well, we're going to celebrate, really celebrate this anniversary. We're
going to all the places we used to go, the lake,
lovers Lane. Come on, darling, let's go. How can I
tell her? What can I say? How can I do
(05:41):
the things I must do? If only we could really
turn back the clock back to before she fell down
the stairs, back to a time before the doctors told
me about the pressure on her brain, the fact that
any operation would prove fatal. We only could go back
to those wonderful days so long ago and keep them forever.
(06:03):
But there's no turning back the clock, not ever.
Speaker 10 (06:09):
Mmm, smell those time, Yes, Todd, didn't you.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Wonder why I brought a suitcase?
Speaker 8 (06:17):
Well, yes, that's because of the surprise.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Surprise.
Speaker 10 (06:20):
Yes, I'm not going back to the club, Todd, I'm.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
Coming home with you, wonderful dear.
Speaker 10 (06:26):
I'm going to make ten straights for the living room
and do the bathroom over with a full length near us,
and the kitchen lots of stunning colors.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
It'll be a big job, but we don't care to
do it, of course not.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
But let's celebrate first.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Huh. If she only could understand how much that home
of ours meant to me. If only she knew how
deeply it hurt to see her, to hear her now,
the way she has been ever since the accident, the
way she must be as long as that pressure is
on her brain. If only she could understand.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Pod didn't want to go home.
Speaker 10 (07:08):
I saw the side of his face. He was looking
straight ahead, A sad look closed upst on him.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Then we turned in at the lake, and he cheered up.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Look at that water, Emma, Yes, have you ever seen
anything so blue?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
No, nothing is blue except your arm?
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Are you darling flatterer?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Well, here's our old parking place.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Isn't it awfully quiet?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
You know, Emily, we could live a whole lifetime and
never find anything better than we have right here?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
He opened the door.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
I'll get some blankets out of the back.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
I sat there while he went around to the pack.
I was alone again. People were always.
Speaker 10 (07:52):
Going away and leaving me alone.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Oh no, no, put a grave face on it, Emily,
part of your face.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
And fix your lips.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
How my person groped around from my lipstick here it
wanted to still like that.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
I reached.
Speaker 10 (08:11):
Lipstick compact in my hand, touched something, a little box.
It was heavy. I read the words on the label,
thirty eight caliber soft no shells, but.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
For suspense.

Yeah? Yeah, but I've got a big Denton offender.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Too, say mister Martin.

What does the word resistor mean? Well, it's like this
billy auto light ignition engineer the ten thousand arm resistor
right into the auto light spark plug that permits a
wider spark gap setting and maintains it far longer than
any other spark plugs. The auto light resistance spark plug
is the best thing that's happened in spark plugs in years.
A great new development of auto light ignition engineers working
(09:38):
with the countries leading car and truck manufacturers. When you

the cover back on the box. When I heard him
coming around to the side.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
All set, I got the blankets.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
I held the box of bullets under my purse.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Come on, Darling, let's get out on that beach.
Speaker 5 (10:57):

Speaker 4 (14:10):
This box of bullets?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Bullets?
Speaker 11 (14:13):
Found them in the sand just a few steps from
your car. Thought maybe you dropped them.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
I dropped them. See I told you, Todd, those are
the bullets I found in the car. It's the box
half full.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Well, it looks like somebody loaded the gun out of it.
Speaker 11 (14:28):
Thirty eight caliber soft nosed shells, says on the bus.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Oh well, bet I know. I let Ernie take the
car yesterday. Ernie Yeah, he's going in for target practice.

Maybe he got them for you?
Speaker 3 (14:46):

Speaker 11 (14:48):
Mister looked like they've just been dropped beside your car
up there.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
Oh thanks, thanks, well, Emily, if we're going to the inn,
we got to get started.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
That was too close. She nearly caught me. But it's
too soon, too soon for her to know. I've got
to be careful. I can't wait too long. I have
to cut the celebration short. You wait here, Emily. It's
been so long since we were here.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
I'd better see what it's like.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
All right. It was a lone again, relaxing Emily. Todd
didn't come out in a minute. I'd go in after him.
What I needed was a cigarette. I opened the glove compartment.
Speaker 10 (15:37):
Handkerchiefs, nap flashlight, gloves, no cigarette.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
I pulled out an envelope, an envelope addressed Todd at
his office, marked personal. I unfolded the letter, Dear mister Ward.
Speaker 10 (15:56):
Doctor Kurnitt's today confirmed that missus Ward's condition is becoming
progressively worse and she needs more personal attention than we
can give her. And since we are not equipped to
care for hypomanic patients. We request that you make other
arrangements for her at your earliest convenience, Serie, missus hall.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
I threw the letter back in the clock upon it
and slammed the door.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
This place is terrible.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
Is this it's all run down? Drive out into the country,
find a quiet spot.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
No time.

I have to tell you, Darling, listen carefully. You're not well, Emily.
You're never going to be well again.
Speaker 5 (22:25):

a real wife to you. I'll be everything you want

Speaker 3 (22:32):

close your eyes.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Well it hurt what God only an instant, dear, The
gun is so cool to my temper.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Quiet. I'll be with you in a moment.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
No, no, I don't tell you what.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Slowly I became aware of pain in my head. There
was a smell like a hospital. I thought to remember
what happened. I I'd fallen downstairs. That had been a
long time ago. There was a gun, Todd and I struggling.
(23:50):
That was did Then I heard Todd talking.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I want to tell you what happened.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
I think I know, mister Ward.
Speaker 11 (23:58):
Your wife's up with a headed dury some time ago,
which caused the bone of breath on the frontal lobe
of her brain, causing a cute hypomania.
Speaker 10 (24:05):
Isn't it right?
Speaker 6 (24:06):
Yes?
Speaker 11 (24:06):
But I've seen many people, mister Ward, whose loved one
has faced a living death, so I can imagine your thoughts.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Yes, but you must understand.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I meant to end it.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
For both of us, but when the time came, I couldn't.
I just couldn't.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Well, what happened was an accident, A very fortunate accident.
Speaker 11 (24:26):
Because the bullet which struck your wife said tonight did
what medical clients could not do.
Speaker 10 (24:30):
Huh.
Speaker 11 (24:31):
The operations necessary to remove the bullet served two purposes,
and your speed in getting her here save both her
life and her sanity. She she'll be all right after
a couple of weeks of rest, and your wife is
no longer a hypomanic. Mister Ward. If I were you,
I'd give thanks to whatever fate guided that bullet along
the course it took.
Speaker 10 (24:52):
Right then, I knew that everything was wonderful, even the
pain in my head, and Todd was.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
By my side. Emily, Emily Darling, can can you ever
forgive me?
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Forgive you? Don after what the doctor said, hold on.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
I just couldn't live without you. I wanted us always
to be together.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
No, we will be, Darling. Isn't this our eighth wedding anniversary? Yeah,
well then let's celebrate.
