Speaker 11 (08:36):
Phyllis's face wavered and lost focus and dissolved into the
day of columns and posting and bus suns.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
And minus and Cypher's and herb coming over just before lunch.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
Hey, man, talk about your wife her she's running around.
I had no good.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
It was strange. It was the kind of surrender bits
of me seemed to be making, as.
Speaker 11 (08:58):
If I were drowning, submerging only so far and getting
used to it and then sinking a little more. There
was a time, a bright spring day, when a girl
laughed at a very wonderful thing I had said and
touched my hand.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
There were days, Turner, see you.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Oh shere, mister.
Speaker 9 (09:20):
Collins by the way in my office, sure, mister.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Collins, Or yes, sir, I.
Speaker 12 (09:29):
Have a season, thank you.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
This is not a depression we're in, Turner now, sir,
far from eleven law, i'd call it. It's a good
sign anybody who invests in a false economy. And now,
mind you, I'm not saying at this stage we just
passed through with anything but healthy. But now we've got
to do a little bit more retrenching.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Here you agree, Oh yes, sir, yes, you're fired, Turner.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Economists all over the country agreed that a strong inventory
that's fluid is the soundest investment, and that any company
that carries too much of a load, as far as
person that was concerned. Now, I only appeal your intelligence.
You can see for yourself that we must cut down
our expensive.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
You're crying, Turner, mister.
Speaker 12 (10:14):
We've got level off.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I've charged to show that there's no time like now
to undertake mister Collins.
Speaker 9 (10:21):
That's what it isn't I'll work for less money.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
Well, please, please don't fire.
Speaker 9 (10:28):
Well, I'll take a cut.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Figure out how much I'm worth to you. Why didn't
you do that? Figure out how much I'm worth you.
I'll take your cut.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
You're forcing me to.
Speaker 9 (10:38):
Say, we don't need you, We don't want.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
People like you in an organization. You're fired. You are

The way I was earning her things in the kitchen.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
I didn't hear the words, just.
Speaker 16 (13:33):
That kind of soft laugh missus Porter has sometimes when
she's talking on the phone. I didn't hear the words,
but I sure thought it must be you she was
talking to.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
It was.
Speaker 16 (13:42):
And she went into the bedroom and called out to
me to iron that silk blouse first, that fairy one
got low off the shoulder. Yes, no, yes, Oh, you
sure got an attractive wife, mister Porter. And we two
get along real fine.

have a nice time. Now, missus Porter didn't tell you
where she was going. I'll talk to you on the phone. Well,
I guess i'll be gone.

Why don't you stay a little while.
Speaker 11 (14:11):
We'll we'll talk.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I hate to eat along.
Speaker 11 (14:15):
I'll be through eating in just a few minutes, and
you could clear the table and maybe wash.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
The dishes and bite. Then missus porter.
Speaker 9 (14:21):
Will bet she's already paid you the not me.
Speaker 16 (14:25):
Besides what I was you, I'd go to a movie
or something. Missus Porter's not liable to get home until
real late. That's what she said to me, she said,
tell him not to wait up.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
It was moving in on me, all the dying that
had happened to me during the day, moving in.
Speaker 11 (14:55):
Very close now, The emptiness, the stillness left behind when
she walked out of the house, and the quick dark
of nightfall, speeding through the rooms and moving and on,
and the sigh of wind close to my ear and
farther away, the silence, somehow quivering trembling somehow threw the
(15:17):
grass and on the leaves in the yard outside, And
it was close to me as I went into another room,
to the closet that held Viera's clothes that held the
perfume she wore.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
In the scent of seasons long dead and the season
dying even now.
Speaker 11 (15:34):

Why shouldn't I cry?

Speaker 3 (08:42):
And minus and Cypher's and herb coming over just before lunch.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
Hey, man, talk about your wife her she's running around.
I had no good.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
It was strange. It was the kind of surrender bits
of me seemed to be making, as.
Speaker 11 (08:58):
If I were drowning, submerging only so far and getting
used to it and then sinking a little more. There
was a time, a bright spring day, when a girl
laughed at a very wonderful thing I had said and
touched my hand.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
There were days, Turner, see you.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Oh shere, mister.

Speaker 12 (09:29):
Have a season, thank you.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
This is not a depression we're in, Turner now, sir,
far from eleven law, i'd call it. It's a good
sign anybody who invests in a false economy. And now,
mind you, I'm not saying at this stage we just
passed through with anything but healthy. But now we've got
to do a little bit more retrenching.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Here you agree, Oh yes, sir, yes, you're fired, Turner.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Economists all over the country agreed that a strong inventory
that's fluid is the soundest investment, and that any company
that carries too much of a load, as far as
person that was concerned. Now, I only appeal your intelligence.
You can see for yourself that we must cut down
our expensive.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
You're crying, Turner, mister.
Speaker 12 (10:14):
We've got level off.
Speaker 3 (10:16):

to undertake mister Collins.
Speaker 9 (10:21):
That's what it isn't I'll work for less money.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
Well, please, please don't fire.
Speaker 9 (10:28):
Well, I'll take a cut.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Figure out how much I'm worth to you. Why didn't
you do that? Figure out how much I'm worth you.
I'll take your cut.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
You're forcing me to.
Speaker 9 (10:38):
Say, we don't need you, We don't want.

but I sure thought it must be you she was
talking to.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
It was.
Speaker 16 (13:42):

We'll we'll talk.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I hate to eat along.
Speaker 11 (14:15):
I'll be through eating in just a few minutes, and
you could clear the table and maybe wash.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
The dishes and bite. Then missus porter.
Speaker 9 (14:21):
Will bet she's already paid you the not me.
Speaker 16 (14:25):
Besides what I was you, I'd go to a movie
or something. Missus Porter's not liable to get home until
real late. That's what she said to me, she said,
tell him not to wait up.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
It was moving in on me, all the dying that
had happened to me during the day, moving in.
Speaker 11 (14:55):
Very close now, The emptiness, the stillness left behind when
she walked out of the house, and the quick dark
of nightfall, speeding through the rooms and moving and on,
and the sigh of wind close to my ear and
farther away, the silence, somehow quivering trembling somehow threw the
(15:17):
grass and on the leaves in the yard outside, And
it was close to me as I went into another room,
to the closet that held Viera's clothes that held the
perfume she wore.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
In the scent of seasons long dead and the season
dying even now.
Speaker 11 (15:34):
And back into the room, a room where a long
time ago.
