Speaker 6 (07:02):
There. Nice of you to carry the packages for me, Harry.
It's nothing surprised. I haven't run into you before around
the store.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Well, this is the first time I watched the store
for mister Lebowitz.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
You must have left in an awful hurry, he did.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
His wife was pretty sick.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Do you have to walk so fast?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Oh? No, sorry? Where did you say?
Speaker 6 (07:34):
You lived on Third Avenue, just around the corner.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
You live alone?
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Yes, you uh, you know it's been a long time
since high school.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
You've got a good memory for faces. I know I
don't remember you.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
You wouldn't. You didn't know me too well. You used
to say hello sometimes when we passed in the halls.
Oh you were a big shot football player and all
that stuff. All the girls had a crush you, Harry.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Did They sure? Been living in this neighborhood long.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Too long. But the rent's cheap, and I'm not far
from work, so I stay here.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I know what you mean.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
That's the place up ahead with the ivy on the
fire escape, groceries getting heavy.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
No, no, I got to think fast. It's no good
here on the street. Too many people around. Like she said,
she lives alone. I have to get inside with her
alone in her apartment, then I can get rid of her.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I wish she'd quit talk.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
And she asked too many questions, and this potato styleid stinks.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I hate potato salad. I got to get inside that apartment.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
This is it pretty crummy? Huh?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
What's it like inside?
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Just as bad. I fixed my apartment up some. But
it's the smell these old places have, and get rid
of it.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I'd like to see it. See what you've done.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Well, I don't know. The landlady is funny about visitors,
and it's kind of late.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Oh, come on, you can't carry all this stuff alone after.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
You Well, okay, no, you go on up. I have
to throw the light switch.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Which way upstairs? Right? The groceries are getting heavy.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
The first door on your right at the top.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
You could use more light on this stairway.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
That's not all this place for you?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
That's it?
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Yeah, here, I'll unlock it. Go ahead, Well, this is
it home?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Not bad? You fix it up by yourself.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
Yeah here, let me take the bag, sit down and
when I put this stuff away?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Sure? Yeah? Can you fix this place up?
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Nice you too?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (10:09):
They l go drive past the window. Did you get
used to that too? You should have seen it when
I moved in. Really a miss. Then I went to
work on I thought you were in the other room.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
What are you doing?
Speaker 6 (10:26):
I got flower on my skirt. I put some water
on for coffee.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Good idea.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Come in the other room, Harry. I want to show
you something, a picture of you, of me in a
football uniform. Yet I still have our class book, your
pictures in it.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Sit down, Yeah, sure.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Funny running into you. I was going through the book
a couple of weeks ago, and I was thinking about you,
wondering whatever became of you.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
You were thinking about me.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
You didn't know it, but I had a big crush
on you when we were in school.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
No, no, I I thought I was a big shot
in those days. I couldn't see anything.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
You sure did. Look, here's a picture of the fourth
of July dance in the gym. Yeah, do you remember it?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
You asked me for a dance that day? Was I surprise?
We no more than started and they stopped the music
to take this picture. You ran off to find Mona Stark.
Mona You remember her?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Oh? Yeah, yeah, I remember Mona.
Speaker 6 (11:29):
You were going with her when you quit school, weren't you.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (11:32):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
We broke up?
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Why?
Speaker 5 (11:35):
I borrowed a car from a pal so we could
drive up to Connecticut and get married. It was a
big yellow CONVERTIBLEOK. Wanted to make a big impression. Mona
liked to be impressed. Only my pal I for I
got to tell me it was a stolen car.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Never saw her again?
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Saw a picture of her though, on the cover of
a secret detective magazine. She had a gun in one hand,
a bottle in the other, and some guy was choking her.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
She looked good.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Well, enough of the good old days. What are you
doing now, Harry? For a living?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I mean me, nothing worth talking about.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
How do you happen to know mister Lebowitz?
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Mister Leibowitz, he's the sweetest old ear.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
He'll take credit right up to his ears, but people
always get around to pay him. You must know him
pretty well to be left in charge of the store.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Well, I what's that?
Speaker 6 (12:25):
It's the l goes right past the window, shakes.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
The whole building. How do you put up with that?
Speaker 6 (12:43):
You get used to it? Noisy? Huh?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
You could fire a cannon in here when it goes
by and you wouldn't hear it. You get used to it.
I think the coffee's ready, only take a minute.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
You could fire a cannon and I'm only carrying a
thirty eight. Sure, all I have to do is sit
and wait. We'll drink coffee and chat about the good
old days. And when the all goes by again, I'll
be able to walk out of.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Here, safe and sound. Nothing to worry about it. Ruthie
won't be up to remembering anything. She'll be dead.

autolite stainful battery, the battery that needs water only three
times a year. In normal car use, you will have
instant action, quick starts for a long long time because
the autolite stayful battery is protected by fiberglass retaining mats
to reduce shedding and flaking and give longer life, as
(14:26):
proved by tests conducted according to accepted life cycle standards.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Where do I get this famous battery?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Just visit your neighborhood autolite battery dealer. He's the man
who services all makes of batteries to quickly learn his location.
Just call Western Union by number and ask.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
For me operator twenty five. I'll gladly tell you where

She's only got a few minutes to live, only until
the l goes by again, goes by with a big noise,
so no one can hear the little noise of my
thirty eight going off, And then Ruthie, who remembers me so.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Well, will be out of the way.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
Then I can get out of here, safe and sound

couple of blocks apart, and I'll be miles from here.
All I have to do now is wait for the.

Hmmm?

window like that I'm used to doing.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Does it go by often?
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Never stop? I'll warn you the next time I heard coming.
Yeah you you do that, Harry Norris here in my apartment.
Why I can't get over running into you like this?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Yeah? Well you never know.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Are you married, Harry? No funny? I pictured you married
by now and with a family. So here you are
a little older, but about the same.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Yeah. Well that's that's the way it goes.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
What do you do for a living?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (17:02):
Nothing right now? But I got plans, big plans. I'm
gonna be running a lot of guys around this town
some day, and I'm gonna have money.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Lots of it.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
I don't doubt it. You say you have plans, Tell
me about them, Harry.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
What's it a town? I'm after big money, that's all
you'll have it.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
If you're the Harry I remember, you'll get whatever you want.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
What do you mean by that?
Speaker 6 (17:24):
I remember how you were around school. When you saw
something you wanted, you got it, Nothing could stop you.
I remember a football game with a story a high.
You got knocked out and they carried you off the field.
We were losing the game, and you came back in
all bandaged up and put us ahead.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
I was very proud of you. I thought you were wonderful. You.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
But uh, we hardly knew each other.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
I knew you well. I waited outside the gym that
night to see if you were all right. I saw
you leave and you had a little bandage right right
there where the tiny scar is now.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Oh listen, So you waited around to see if I
was okay. Huh.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
Yeah. I even followed you home that night. I was
afraid you might pass out on the street and there
would be no one to take care of you. So
I followed you.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I remember that night, but not much of what I did.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Instead of going home, you stopped you at a pool room,
so I waited outside for hours.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
You did.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
Then it started the snow and I went home.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
It's funny I don't remember seeing you, and yet you were.
You were around so much.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
It's funny well, I was a pretty horrible looking kid.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Then maybe there's nothing wrong with you now, Ruthie, What
time is it?
Speaker 6 (18:51):
The clocks in the bedroom?
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (18:54):
I wonder how missus Lebowitz is doing.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Missus Lebowitz. Oh, oh, you call in in the morning
and find out.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
She's been sick a lot lately. Poor old mister Leebel,
which has been worried to death about her.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
You like the old man?
Speaker 6 (19:07):
Sure? He kept me in groceries for a long time
last year while I was looking for work, and he's
done the same for other people in the neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
What's the matter, Harry, nothing's the matter?
Speaker 6 (19:19):
And sit back and relax. You're sitting there like a
tiger about to jump on something.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Yeah. Sure you like living alone like this? I love it,
don't You get a little lonesome sometimes?
Speaker 6 (19:35):
But I have friends in the neighborhood and we get
together and have crazy times.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
How come you never got married, ruth.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Never met the kind of man I'd want to spend
the rest of my life with.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I guess, no boyfriends, no one.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
It's kind of your fault, Harry, my fault. When a
girl has a crush on a fella and nothing happens.
She goes on thinking that maybe someday something will have happened,
and in the meantime, the other fellas just don't mean much.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I guess, ruth I don't get it. Did you feel
this way about me?
Speaker 6 (20:13):
I did once when we were in school, but I
got over it, did you sure?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I guess you're a funny kid. I don't get you.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
Forget it, Harry.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I wish I could remember what you looked.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Like like I said, I was pretty off.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
What are you looking at your scar?
Speaker 6 (20:38):
It's no larger than a match in. Yeah, I can
hardly feel it. And you have another tiny scar on
the side of your nose right here. Where'd you get it? Harry?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
A fight? And I think?
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Always a tough guy. That's why the girls liked you
so much. You treated them so rough, did I? And
you ignored them most of the time. Yeah, the way
you're ignoring me right now? Am I only inches between
us and you ignore me? Ignore this? If you can
erin and this, Ruthie, baby, Harry, Honey, m that was ill.
(21:35):
That just went by.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I heard it. I heard it.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Now you can relax for another five minutes.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Another five minutes, Ruthie what's the matter, Harry, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
I don't know. I must be going soft in the head.
I came up here to do something. Now I can't.
The things you said, the way you act, you make
me feel like I mean something to you. All the
time I didn't know you were alive. If I really
mean anything to you, your help me. I need help, Ruthie.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Can I trust you? Ruthie? Are you home? Who' said?
I don't know, honey. It's Jimmy Ruth.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Jim.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Don't make a sound.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
What's going on there?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Missus Tooley? Have you seen ruth come.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
In a while ago?

Speaker 6 (08:15):
That's the place up ahead with the ivy on the
fire escape, groceries getting heavy.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
No, no, I got to think fast. It's no good
here on the street. Too many people around. Like she said,
she lives alone. I have to get inside with her
alone in her apartment, then I can get rid of her.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I wish she'd quit talk.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
And she asked too many questions, and this potato styleid stinks.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I hate potato salad. I got to get inside that apartment.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
This is it pretty crummy? Huh?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
What's it like inside?
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Just as bad. I fixed my apartment up some. But
it's the smell these old places have, and get rid
of it.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I'd like to see it. See what you've done.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Well, I don't know. The landlady is funny about visitors,
and it's kind of late.

Oh, come on, you can't carry all this stuff alone after.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
You Well, okay, no, you go on up. I have
to throw the light switch.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Which way upstairs? Right? The groceries are getting heavy.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
The first door on your right at the top.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
You could use more light on this stairway.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
That's not all this place for you?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
That's it?
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Yeah, here, I'll unlock it. Go ahead, Well, this is
it home?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Not bad? You fix it up by yourself.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
Yeah here, let me take the bag, sit down and
when I put this stuff away?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Sure? Yeah? Can you fix this place up?
Speaker 6 (10:04):

Nice you too?
Speaker 1 (10:08):

I moved in. Really a miss. Then I went to
work on I thought you were in the other room.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
What are you doing?
Speaker 6 (10:26):
I got flower on my skirt. I put some water
on for coffee.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Good idea.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Come in the other room, Harry. I want to show
you something, a picture of you, of me in a
football uniform. Yet I still have our class book, your
pictures in it.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Sit down, Yeah, sure.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Funny running into you. I was going through the book
a couple of weeks ago, and I was thinking about you,
wondering whatever became of you.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
You were thinking about me.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
You didn't know it, but I had a big crush
on you when we were in school.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
No, no, I I thought I was a big shot
in those days. I couldn't see anything.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
You sure did. Look, here's a picture of the fourth
of July dance in the gym. Yeah, do you remember it?
Speaker 3 (11:14):

Speaker 6 (11:32):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
We broke up?
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Why?
Speaker 5 (11:35):
I borrowed a car from a pal so we could
drive up to Connecticut and get married. It was a
big yellow CONVERTIBLEOK. Wanted to make a big impression. Mona
liked to be impressed. Only my pal I for I
got to tell me it was a stolen car.
Speaker 6 (11:47):

Never saw her again?
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Saw a picture of her though, on the cover of
a secret detective magazine. She had a gun in one hand,
a bottle in the other, and some guy was choking her.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
She looked good.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Well, enough of the good old days. What are you
doing now, Harry? For a living?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I mean me, nothing worth talking about.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
How do you happen to know mister Lebowitz?
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Mister Leibowitz, he's the sweetest old ear.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
He'll take credit right up to his ears, but people
always get around to pay him. You must know him
pretty well to be left in charge of the store.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Well, I what's that?
Speaker 6 (12:25):
It's the l goes right past the window, shakes.

by and you wouldn't hear it. You get used to it.
I think the coffee's ready, only take a minute.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
You could fire a cannon and I'm only carrying a
thirty eight. Sure, all I have to do is sit
and wait. We'll drink coffee and chat about the good
old days. And when the all goes by again, I'll
be able to walk out of.

Speaker 6 (17:00):
What do you do for a living?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (17:02):
Nothing right now? But I got plans, big plans. I'm
gonna be running a lot of guys around this town
some day, and I'm gonna have money.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Lots of it.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
I don't doubt it. You say you have plans, Tell
me about them, Harry.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
What's it a town? I'm after big money, that's all
you'll have it.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
If you're the Harry I remember, you'll get whatever you want.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
What do you mean by that?
Speaker 6 (17:24):
I remember how you were around school. When you saw
something you wanted, you got it, Nothing could stop you.
I remember a football game with a story a high.
You got knocked out and they carried you off the field.
We were losing the game, and you came back in
all bandaged up and put us ahead.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
I was very proud of you. I thought you were wonderful. You.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
But uh, we hardly knew each other.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
I knew you well. I waited outside the gym that
night to see if you were all right. I saw
you leave and you had a little bandage right right
there where the tiny scar is now.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Oh listen, So you waited around to see if I
was okay. Huh.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
Yeah. I even followed you home that night. I was
afraid you might pass out on the street and there
would be no one to take care of you. So
I followed you.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I remember that night, but not much of what I did.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Instead of going home, you stopped you at a pool room,
so I waited outside for hours.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
You did.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
Then it started the snow and I went home.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
It's funny I don't remember seeing you, and yet you were.
You were around so much.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
It's funny well, I was a pretty horrible looking kid.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Then maybe there's nothing wrong with you now, Ruthie, What
time is it?
Speaker 6 (18:51):
The clocks in the bedroom?
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (18:54):
I wonder how missus Lebowitz is doing.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Missus Lebowitz. Oh, oh, you call in in the morning
and find out.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
She's been sick a lot lately. Poor old mister Leebel,
which has been worried to death about her.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
You like the old man?
Speaker 6 (19:07):
Sure? He kept me in groceries for a long time
last year while I was looking for work, and he's
done the same for other people in the neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
What's the matter, Harry, nothing's the matter?
Speaker 6 (19:19):
And sit back and relax. You're sitting there like a
tiger about to jump on something.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Yeah. Sure you like living alone like this? I love it,
don't You get a little lonesome sometimes?
Speaker 6 (19:35):
But I have friends in the neighborhood and we get
together and have crazy times.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
How come you never got married, ruth.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Never met the kind of man I'd want to spend
the rest of my life with.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I guess, no boyfriends, no one.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
It's kind of your fault, Harry, my fault. When a
girl has a crush on a fella and nothing happens.
She goes on thinking that maybe someday something will have happened,
and in the meantime, the other fellas just don't mean much.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I guess, ruth I don't get it. Did you feel
this way about me?
Speaker 6 (20:13):
I did once when we were in school, but I
got over it, did you sure?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I guess you're a funny kid. I don't get you.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
Forget it, Harry.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I wish I could remember what you looked.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Like like I said, I was pretty off.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
What are you looking at your scar?
Speaker 6 (20:38):
It's no larger than a match in. Yeah, I can
hardly feel it. And you have another tiny scar on
the side of your nose right here. Where'd you get it? Harry?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
A fight? And I think?
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Always a tough guy. That's why the girls liked you
so much. You treated them so rough, did I? And
you ignored them most of the time. Yeah, the way
you're ignoring me right now? Am I only inches between
us and you ignore me? Ignore this? If you can
erin and this, Ruthie, baby, Harry, Honey, m that was ill.
(21:35):
That just went by.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I heard it. I heard it.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Now you can relax for another five minutes.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Another five minutes, Ruthie what's the matter, Harry, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
I don't know. I must be going soft in the head.
I came up here to do something. Now I can't.
The things you said, the way you act, you make
me feel like I mean something to you. All the
time I didn't know you were alive. If I really
mean anything to you, your help me. I need help, Ruthie.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Can I trust you? Ruthie? Are you home? Who' said?
I don't know, honey. It's Jimmy Ruth.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Jim.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
