to see the human duncers. Let me come on, I

Speaker 6 (07:04):

me so you wouldn't let me do it. He said
something about changing his LuFe.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
How did he get you in his car? But it
was only in this home.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
We were both doing the same way.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Well, we aren't.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
We're going separate ways. First, I'll get your bag and fast.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Forward your by still pid, my truck, packed full of
smuggled cigarettes was waiting in the street below. I couldn't
leave it then full daylight. I should have taken it
on to Marseille, and I couldn't do that and still
go back to Monte Carlo to Danny too. I went
to the airport first. It just being holiday time in France,
there wasn't any space. So then I drove over to
(07:42):
the railway station and booked a seat on the blue
train for Paris that night. And I came out of
the station, I.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Found you were laid waiting in the truck. Hello, Harry,
Oh you should take my suggestion Lily and go swimming.
I got up to him. Are you living right now?
I'm going to Monte Carlo? Where are you going to
Monte Carlo? I'm a liar that had I told somebody
this morning?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
I liked you?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Well? You do? You like them too much? Alright?
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Lily was a nice kid, but she wasn't making life
any easier for me. That uh, trying to talk abound
tagging along. It wasn't use Lily, Would you please tell
me just why you're taking this long ride to underfol
I was just.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Going to ask you the same thing. Alright, I'll answer it.
Because somebody's in trouble. Oh what did she do? You
could jump into conclusions, right, So sure that she did something.
I said she was in trouble. That's how you're getting
into trouble, isn't it? Well, not necessarily at you. I
am not in trouble, all right. She wants me to be.
You lost your job, that's trouble or not. He didn't
(08:46):
do anything, It just fired you.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Well I threw a gym seat at man and hitn't.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
It glass and all? Glass and all?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
I guess that's doing something?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Yes, so m well, now what about me?
Speaker 6 (09:00):
Yeah, well it's nothing working in these chips.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I'm gonna try something better. You've seen my I dance
to the Secret Thing. Yeah, yes, louses pretty much. It
didn't going to get very much. Fress. If you're a dancer,
I think you're able to get able to dance. Not
with your question, do you like me? You mean, do
I like the way you look? Do you when I
like the way you look that you're wasting your time
(09:24):
on marriage like that, I'm not the type. I mean, yes,
you're the type. It's just nothing. The means, what's wrong.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
With a you?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Why you're hiding? If I tell you, I wonder what
you can I have helped you, it's nothing. You wouldn't
help her?
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Well why should I?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
And come to that? Why should you? I get a
funny reaction.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
On people in trouble real, I guess because I didn't
so much trouble myself, but I never changed and helped.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Them first before I ask any questions. Besides, I don't
like to lave me.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
What have the police got to do?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
I think I was just talking. Look if a bird
flew in your window, what would you do?
Speaker 4 (10:03):
I just care why because I'm superstitious when a bird
comes into the hollow.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
As I said, okay, let's forgive me. Are you superstitious
about mice? What are you trying to say? I'm trying
to explain the point of view and tell me this.
Have you ever let a mouse out of a trap?
You mean mouse in the evenings?
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Very jack? Uh?
Speaker 3 (10:23):
All right? Nollad there, I'm leaving you there way for
me if you wanted me. This is the service entrance
to the hotel. What did it do? They'd stop me
at the front. Here, hold my coat, and just what
do I do with it? That told that? Told it
in wait, I'm going to be an electrician or a bumber.
I decided which. In church leaves, I got a better
chance of getting up the hotel room without even stopping. Yes,
but you wanted to help, didn't I went into the
(10:49):
hotel in my hurry. I forgot that in that culture
given really that was for gun, not my gun, the
one that fell out of the car, the dead man.
Why didn't you think of it then? I don't know
while I was thinking of that all day. Four oh
seven was the number of the key. Hang it up
there as quietly as I could, let myself. In a
drawer by the bed, I found Danny's passport. It identified
(11:10):
there as Madam Danielled Savage.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I put the passport in my pocket, opened up the
smallest of of bags, and started hurriedly throwing some things
into it. In the closet I found a tailored suit.
I could cut some shoes for the match. Through the
whole thing in the bag, I figured she'd need something
in the dressing table, make up, things like that. That's
when I noticed the leather folder, one of those things
for photographs. It slipped to the floor. It opened. I
looked down at it. There were two pictures, each showing
(11:33):
Danny and a man, the same man. In one post
they were in ski targs, and in the other in
bathing suits. He was bald with heavy black horn rimmed glasses,
and I recognized it.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
He was the dead man from the car. This moment,
there is the sound of tea turning in the lock
of the door.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
I jump to my feet, dropping the toilet. ARTICLES reached
the door and a single eep and turned the bolt.
I didn't answer that. It didn't seem to be much
point in getting in the conversation. I looked wildly around
for some means of hiding escape.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
You don't need to please.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
In a moment, Auson Wells returns as Harry Lyon the
Third Man, and now Orton Wells as Harry Lyme the
(13:19):
Third Man continues today's story Murder on the river Er.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
I rushed to the window. It was locked. I kicked
it open. There was a balcony on the floor below.
It was quite as drop.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
But at another minute I knew they succeeded battering down
the door, so I wristed and managed to drop safely
enough on a narrow terrace and jumped only in a
matter of some twelve or fifteen people these four stories
between a balcony and the street, and might he was
to try climbing into one of the other rooms and
getting out that way. I pushed my hand in and
turned to catch inside that this a very fierce looking
old dowager.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
In course, it's appeared and scared me away.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
And I ran to the next swindow and that was open,
and jumped into the room where a very pretty girl
without very much on I'm sorry to say I never
saw again in my life, was giving himself a pendicular.
She looked startled that I didn't pause for explanations. I
rafted to the door of her room and bawled it
out into the hall. Then she started to scream, oh, hooray, hody,
let's started about the stairway. But I could see some
(14:20):
police and the sort of yaggle of bell hoops and
porches converging on.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
My fore from above and below. So I turned on
my heels and raced down the hall, trying the doors
to various rooms to find that cart one that wasn't
blocked and letting myself be on, slimbing the door and
falling it behind me. I picked up the phone. Hello, now,
bess is does the trace happened to be there? We'll
put him on the phone.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Needed to get my friend left me here crookie and
a casino and used to hang out at this restaurant,
and I'd called her bringing a change of clothes over
to the hotel room. I could look en up like
a tourist going down to the beach. Maybe I could
get out past the cops.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
The priest croupier was a real friend.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
He arrived with sunglasses, a jersey pull over the beech rope,
and a low comedy blue canvas hat. And in that
outfit I managed to ride down in the elevator without
attracking over much attention.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
The side of the hotel, however, I found a gang
of cops gathered by my truck. They were unloading the
cans of powdered milk and crying them open.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
So that was goodbye to the truck, the bude it
with very expensive shipment of smuggled cigarettes.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
And maybe also goodbye to Harry Lyon. As casually as possible,
I strolled around to the front in order to can
Lily was nowhere in sight. That was something to be
gidful for.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Forty minutes later, I was back home and snow, I
can assure you in a very cheerful frame of mind.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
For one thing, the door in my room was locked.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
For another, my coupier friend Patrees had told me that
some sportsman spearing under water for fish had come on
the car. The bald man had been found an identify.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
His name was big per Sage. Yes, okay, stupid, let
me and.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
What's you.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Let me end? Missus say it?
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
So much of a welcome? Hey, hey, thank you Mary?
Speaker 5 (16:16):
That was much.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
What are you just like that? Well? What have you
been doing?
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Understand?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
What have I been doing? Nothing much? Oh? I forgot it?
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Well you might say I was occupied and sort of
slipped my mind. I can't stay here for honey, you're
not doing That makes two of us stupid. The only
difference is they catch me. I'll have to save some
time breaking.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
And answering for one thing. Eight and a betting, a
murderous burglary, and impersonating a tourist. Besides not me, this
is France. Here was good looking dam and that's useful anyway. Justice, stupid, make.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
That shooting of yours look just a little bit like
a crime of passion. You've maybe got a chance, but
you've to start telling the truth just to get into
the habit. I congratulations when you were Yes, what was
it you called you?
Speaker 3 (17:06):

Speaker 3 (17:29):

Speaker 5 (17:32):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Did you forget something else? Besides mind, I.
Speaker 3 (17:35):

Speaker 6 (17:36):
Wait a minute, I know something else you've forgot. You
had it in the pot of your coat.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Done pretty thing too? Still, but now I should think
it was kind of playing. Listen, stupid Savich's body is

seen you two driving off again. I forget about the
fingerprints and get to work dreaming up that other woman?
What woman?

you'd pull the trigger? Okay, okay, tell it your own way.
Well you see, don't try it on the sly catch

evening dress. I've gotta get you from here to the station.
It's this summer. You'll still be light it with me

not being noticed. Maybe they'll think we're going to a ball.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
So what happens when I get to parents in the morning.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
And you've got money in parents? Remember? What is it now?
Speaker 6 (18:45):
I don't really have any money here, Harry, I just
said that.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Well this far? Okay? How much can you get by with?
How much? Now? I know you're stupid? Money of course?
How much money? But I've gotten Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
Your husband, my ex us. You mentioned a divorce. He
didn't ask. And what were the two of you doing
in Mount Carla together?
Speaker 6 (19:11):
You just happened to meet at the casino and then
he started to win.
Speaker 3 (19:14):

might change his luck.

We he didn't lose it all.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I just said, why why I've got his sake? Did
you lie about that?
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Because of the money, the fifteen million price.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I told you to keep your distance, and I told
you I just tell me more about the money. Don't
be so macy. I'd rather talk about the money. The
fifteen million francs or whatever.

your pocket? Give it that, don't be a fool, give it.
I found they're not coming out to you. Are you
told them you can't stay married? The next note, the
compartment was swarming with cops. They grabbed her and got
the gun away from it. That would did me much good.
I had a nasty would in the shoulder. Take the
(23:12):
woman away, I'm but first we'll get to a doctor.
Crowd down head East, I know now that your laugh story.
What's what did you think? She tried to hold up Savor,
took the gun, grabbed for what Chi bore the trigger.

Waving to send that gun away? No use, officer. I've tried,
and I guess I'm stuck with it, Harry, Harry, I
won't be using her room to the bio to take
me to a hospital, and that that with jail. You

Butturned in just a moment and now Harry live so here.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
I am in the hospital, but the doctor says I'll

The upside is more active up on a charge of cigarettes.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Mon I arguest.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
She was young, redded.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
She was standing behind a big limousine trying to push it,
and she was wearing an evening I slowed up.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Seemed to be having trouble. Her car wasn't budging. She
was a very beautiful girl. So I s got got
out of the truck. The teachers brightened, went over to
the car she'd been trying to push. There was a
man sitting in sewing and he was running dinner jet.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
You had black one and lades may be four and
which would have been very interesting except that he is
also said lacks did.
Speaker 3 (02:08):

Walson Welles, As'm the third man in today's story, Murder
on the Riviera.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Well I went back to my truck and turned it around.
Don't ask me why, I'm just telling you. When I
moved the truck up behind the car, She's still standing
there on the road and looked again, Hey, you you're stupid,
don't you didn't you must be stupid. Don't you know?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I have to take off the break.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
All at once she understood, ran back up the road,
and the file opened the door and released the brake.
With the running with the car was teetering over the
edge of the room, and then with alert ship slipped
down the embankment.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
She just stood, What are you gonna do now? I
don't know where you're going. I don't know. You got
to stand there to day starting. People are waking up
as if it's traffic. Come here?
Speaker 5 (03:58):
What do you want?
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Suppose I gave you live? Be a good girl. If
I do, remember I've got the gun. What's your name?
And I'll call you stupid? Come on, get in and
close the door, stupid, that'll be on our way. What's
your name, Harry, No, I'm taking it.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
I live a niece, stupid and says ten kilometers away
from here, we're going home.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I had a room in kniece over a campaign. Nothing
very grand, but convenient.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
This it was that evening dress that did it that
I found myself apologizing and say, opened the door.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
This isn't your style, my lady. I'm sure you have
to put up with it for a while, you know,
bachelor's cause hey, hello, Harry, Now look here, what's you'll?
I didn't know? Oh you didn't you introduce us here?
This is Lily, Danny, Danny, This is Lily. I'm sorry, Harry,
(05:09):

I feel. See, I go to be in general first
another couple of days and diving a farm some place
to see the human duncers. Let me come on, I
get your things. So I'm going where can I stay?
Go take a swim? I don't have a bathing suit?
What's that? Two thousand francs? Are you giving it to me?
Speaker 5 (05:32):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Buying yourself a bathing suit?
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Good bye?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
This is something I've got to be all right, start talking,
but make it fast. Remember what I told you before?
I make it good for the person.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Is I've got to get to pen.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
You think I'm gonna drive you there in the truck
when I supposed to do that.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
He's the key to my room.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
What about it?
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Well, I can't spend the rest of my life in
an evening drink you.
Speaker 3 (05:53):

I told you that's where the money is.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Then you'll see what do you mean we so I'm
supposed to check you out of the hotel?
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Is that we're just a few things? The thing, you know,
things I can wear in the day and remember the past.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
It's in the drawer by the beam. Is that what
you wanted to tell me? I don't know. You're gonna
do some explaining it was a body in that car.
Didn't you notice? I don't think he shot himself. You
know what I ought to do with you? Ought to
turn you in right now.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
We've been gambling all night.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
He lost heavily. He was you know what probation is,
prop It's what your ons do. But you needed to help.
The idea was I give you a chance to explain
things to me first, instead of the cops. Well you've
had your chance.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Give me here.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
I'll get some more.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
And remember the plant.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
Let's get back to cases, now them, Let's get back
to cases.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Now what them? Let's get back to cases now. Who
was he the stiff? Who do you think? I mean?
A dead body?
Speaker 6 (06:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
How did you happen to be in his car? It
was lake, it was done.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
We've been damning in.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
The casino all night and you didn't know it. Well.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
I was just sitting next to him at the table.
He's take me through a while, but he started eating
me so you wouldn't let me do it. He said
something about changing his LuFe.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
How did he get you in his car? But it
was only in this home.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
We were both doing the same way.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Well, we aren't.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
We're going separate ways. First, I'll get your bag and fast.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Forward your by still pid, my truck, packed full of
smuggled cigarettes was waiting in the street below. I couldn't
leave it then full daylight. I should have taken it
on to Marseille, and I couldn't do that and still
go back to Monte Carlo to Danny too. I went
to the airport first. It just being holiday time in France,
there wasn't any space. So then I drove over to
(07:42):
the railway station and booked a seat on the blue
train for Paris that night. And I came out of
the station, I.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Found you were laid waiting in the truck. Hello, Harry,
Oh you should take my suggestion Lily and go swimming.
I got up to him. Are you living right now?
I'm going to Monte Carlo? Where are you going to
Monte Carlo? I'm a liar that had I told somebody
this morning?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
I liked you?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Well? You do? You like them too much? Alright?
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Lily was a nice kid, but she wasn't making life
any easier for me. That uh, trying to talk abound
tagging along. It wasn't use Lily, Would you please tell
me just why you're taking this long ride to underfol
I was just.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Going to ask you the same thing. Alright, I'll answer it.
Because somebody's in trouble. Oh what did she do? You
could jump into conclusions, right, So sure that she did something.
I said she was in trouble. That's how you're getting
into trouble, isn't it? Well, not necessarily at you. I
am not in trouble, all right. She wants me to be.
You lost your job, that's trouble or not. He didn't
(08:46):
do anything, It just fired you.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Well I threw a gym seat at man and hitn't.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
It glass and all? Glass and all?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
I guess that's doing something?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Yes, so m well, now what about me?
Speaker 6 (09:00):
Yeah, well it's nothing working in these chips.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I'm gonna try something better. You've seen my I dance
to the Secret Thing. Yeah, yes, louses pretty much. It
didn't going to get very much. Fress. If you're a dancer,
I think you're able to get able to dance. Not
with your question, do you like me? You mean, do
I like the way you look? Do you when I
like the way you look that you're wasting your time
(09:24):
on marriage like that, I'm not the type. I mean, yes,
you're the type. It's just nothing. The means, what's wrong.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
With a you?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Why you're hiding? If I tell you, I wonder what
you can I have helped you, it's nothing. You wouldn't
help her?
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Well why should I?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
And come to that? Why should you? I get a
funny reaction.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
On people in trouble real, I guess because I didn't
so much trouble myself, but I never changed and helped.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Them first before I ask any questions. Besides, I don't
like to lave me.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
What have the police got to do?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
I think I was just talking. Look if a bird
flew in your window, what would you do?
Speaker 4 (10:03):
I just care why because I'm superstitious when a bird
comes into the hollow.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
As I said, okay, let's forgive me. Are you superstitious
about mice? What are you trying to say? I'm trying
to explain the point of view and tell me this.
Have you ever let a mouse out of a trap?
You mean mouse in the evenings?
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Very jack? Uh?
Speaker 3 (10:23):
All right? Nollad there, I'm leaving you there way for
me if you wanted me. This is the service entrance
to the hotel. What did it do? They'd stop me
at the front. Here, hold my coat, and just what
do I do with it? That told that? Told it
in wait, I'm going to be an electrician or a bumber.
I decided which. In church leaves, I got a better
chance of getting up the hotel room without even stopping. Yes,
but you wanted to help, didn't I went into the
(10:49):
hotel in my hurry. I forgot that in that culture
given really that was for gun, not my gun, the
one that fell out of the car, the dead man.
Why didn't you think of it then? I don't know
while I was thinking of that all day. Four oh
seven was the number of the key. Hang it up
there as quietly as I could, let myself. In a
drawer by the bed, I found Danny's passport. It identified
(11:10):
there as Madam Danielled Savage.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I put the passport in my pocket, opened up the
smallest of of bags, and started hurriedly throwing some things
into it. In the closet I found a tailored suit.
I could cut some shoes for the match. Through the
whole thing in the bag, I figured she'd need something
in the dressing table, make up, things like that. That's
when I noticed the leather folder, one of those things
for photographs. It slipped to the floor. It opened. I
looked down at it. There were two pictures, each showing
(11:33):
Danny and a man, the same man. In one post
they were in ski targs, and in the other in
bathing suits. He was bald with heavy black horn rimmed glasses,
and I recognized it.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
He was the dead man from the car. This moment,
there is the sound of tea turning in the lock
of the door.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
I jump to my feet, dropping the toilet. ARTICLES reached
the door and a single eep and turned the bolt.
I didn't answer that. It didn't seem to be much
point in getting in the conversation. I looked wildly around
for some means of hiding escape.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
You don't need to please.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
In a moment, Auson Wells returns as Harry Lyon the
Third Man, and now Orton Wells as Harry Lyme the
(13:19):
Third Man continues today's story Murder on the river Er.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
I rushed to the window. It was locked. I kicked
it open. There was a balcony on the floor below.
It was quite as drop.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
But at another minute I knew they succeeded battering down
the door, so I wristed and managed to drop safely
enough on a narrow terrace and jumped only in a
matter of some twelve or fifteen people these four stories
between a balcony and the street, and might he was
to try climbing into one of the other rooms and
getting out that way. I pushed my hand in and
turned to catch inside that this a very fierce looking
old dowager.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
In course, it's appeared and scared me away.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
And I ran to the next swindow and that was open,
and jumped into the room where a very pretty girl
without very much on I'm sorry to say I never
saw again in my life, was giving himself a pendicular.
She looked startled that I didn't pause for explanations. I
rafted to the door of her room and bawled it
out into the hall. Then she started to scream, oh, hooray, hody,
let's started about the stairway. But I could see some
(14:20):
police and the sort of yaggle of bell hoops and
porches converging on.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
My fore from above and below. So I turned on
my heels and raced down the hall, trying the doors
to various rooms to find that cart one that wasn't
blocked and letting myself be on, slimbing the door and
falling it behind me. I picked up the phone. Hello, now,
bess is does the trace happened to be there? We'll
put him on the phone.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Needed to get my friend left me here crookie and
a casino and used to hang out at this restaurant,
and I'd called her bringing a change of clothes over
to the hotel room. I could look en up like
a tourist going down to the beach. Maybe I could
get out past the cops.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
The priest croupier was a real friend.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
He arrived with sunglasses, a jersey pull over the beech rope,
and a low comedy blue canvas hat. And in that
outfit I managed to ride down in the elevator without
attracking over much attention.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
The side of the hotel, however, I found a gang
of cops gathered by my truck. They were unloading the
cans of powdered milk and crying them open.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
So that was goodbye to the truck, the bude it
with very expensive shipment of smuggled cigarettes.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
And maybe also goodbye to Harry Lyon. As casually as possible,
I strolled around to the front in order to can
Lily was nowhere in sight. That was something to be
gidful for.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Forty minutes later, I was back home and snow, I
can assure you in a very cheerful frame of mind.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
For one thing, the door in my room was locked.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
For another, my coupier friend Patrees had told me that
some sportsman spearing under water for fish had come on
the car. The bald man had been found an identify.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
His name was big per Sage. Yes, okay, stupid, let
me and.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
What's you.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Let me end? Missus say it?
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
So much of a welcome? Hey, hey, thank you Mary?
Speaker 5 (16:16):
That was much.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
What are you just like that? Well? What have you
been doing?
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Understand?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
What have I been doing? Nothing much? Oh? I forgot it?
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Well you might say I was occupied and sort of
slipped my mind. I can't stay here for honey, you're
not doing That makes two of us stupid. The only
difference is they catch me. I'll have to save some
time breaking.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
And answering for one thing. Eight and a betting, a
murderous burglary, and impersonating a tourist. Besides not me, this
is France. Here was good looking dam and that's useful anyway. Justice, stupid, make.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
That shooting of yours look just a little bit like
a crime of passion. You've maybe got a chance, but
you've to start telling the truth just to get into
the habit. I congratulations when you were Yes, what was
it you called you?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
What do you think I told you? I called you
by your married name, Missus Savich. You found that Yes,
some people went swimming today and found your husband.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Girls, Yes, Victor Savitch esquire was wearing a black time
very little hair, and he.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Was sitting in the nineteen thirty nine Humbers night Black
with blue.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Friends, about thirty feet underwater. And I warn you, Missus Savich,
the anything you say will be used against you.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
I don't like you, Jim. I don't like them much either.
Want to make up some of your own?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Did you forget something else? Besides mind, I.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Don't have any cigarettes.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Wait a minute, I know something else you've forgot. You
had it in the pot of your coat.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Done pretty thing too? Still, but now I should think
it was kind of playing. Listen, stupid Savich's body is
identified your Missus Savitch, and have the casina must have
seen you two driving off again. I forget about the
fingerprints and get to work dreaming up that other woman?
What woman?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
The one he was cheating you with? When you found
out out everything went red? Remember before you knew what
you'd pull the trigger? Okay, okay, tell it your own way.
Well you see, don't try it on the sly catch
you at all?
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I can take? Hey, yes, nothing, I guess.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
But what do you do?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I'm changing my clothes? Stupid? But see do I bar
and down stair? Why?
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Why get dressed up for?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I don't know what's worse? Your questions, your answers. Listen, stupid,
you're forgot. All you've got to travel in is an
evening dress. I've gotta get you from here to the station.
It's this summer. You'll still be light it with me
and the tato. You stand up out of ten and
not being noticed. Maybe they'll think we're going to a ball.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
So what happens when I get to parents in the morning.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
And you've got money in parents? Remember? What is it now?
Speaker 6 (18:45):
I don't really have any money here, Harry, I just
said that.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Well this far? Okay? How much can you get by with?
How much? Now? I know you're stupid? Money of course?
How much money? But I've gotten Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
I've got fifteen million frames. But right here in my bed,
it's what he wanted.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Your husband, my ex us. You mentioned a divorce. He
didn't ask. And what were the two of you doing
in Mount Carla together?
Speaker 6 (19:11):
You just happened to meet at the casino and then
he started to win.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Go on.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
He wouldn't let me go because he was afraid that
might change his luck.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
You don't know how gamba Is changed his luck for it?
Speaker 6 (19:20):
Well, no, I didn't say it all.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Okay, sto, but okay, keep your distance. I don't think
I liked you that later. Did your husband start to lose?
He didn't.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
He just went on.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
We he didn't lose it all.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I just said, why why I've got his sake? Did
you lie about that?
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Because of the money, the fifteen million price.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I told you to keep your distance, and I told
you I just tell me more about the money. Don't
be so macy. I'd rather talk about the money. The
fifteen million francs or whatever.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
It's got a line.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
I guess it was enough.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Yeah, you see none of the did you.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Thought they might decide it wasn't, honey? Well, you know
it makes fine. Listen your sexy little month. It's just
a few minutes to train time. You're not going to
get fired. You know, the only reason I'm doing this
is because I'm just a little bit cracked. You're not anything.

Speaker 4 (20:15):
Fellow refuses jewelry duty in a murdered trial, and that's
my out of traps.

didn't feel like giving it to you? Is that it
settle the eye young of the cup bullet ry. Well,
cause that's what you really think.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
If there isn't any point in our talking about it anymore?

No, I mean, I guess let's take your money, let's
get out of it. I got into the station, okay,
and into a confuntent. She told me she was hungry.
