Presenting Orson Wells as the Third Man, The Lives of
Harry Lyons the fabulous stories of the immortal characters originally
created in the story The Third Man, with set her
music by Anton Carrots.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
You know I've tried everything in my tense, just about everything, confidence, rackets, smuggling,
black market once believe it or not, I even tried
going straight. Here's the story of what happened to me.
Then it's called the hard.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Stick out.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
I figured, like this, Harry, the good old days is
over and passed. Things here in Europe is not what
they was. Not like you're there for the war, the
cops for one thing, to border police, and like that
they're all getting the shop.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
A fellow my just as.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Well be trying bring a living back home.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Matter they wanted this all at.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
I want to go out of the racket.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Okay, if you want to sell me your piece of the.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Floarry, I don't want to sell you nothing.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
You know somebody didn't think so tell me why did
you say that we're buying and telling? Isn't in your
character or man.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Picking up and letting lay and there as you're ever
likely to come a legitimate commercial procedure.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
And picking up legitimate. That's the word, Harry.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
That's what we got to get the beat the international cops.
I can tell you how he is entirely to organized.
You know, Swift, it Shlan and English Ever used to
fly in islands.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah, very smart little combination. I was what I'm doing.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
What happened? Everet makes it jump into angle last fight
and the parachute didn't open. You know that place on
the coast of Cornwell, Harry, it was you and me
placing the mother blafe ov.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
It that's safe.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
A little droppers you could find, Harry, six miles from
the road, no houses, nothing but header or what.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Do you think they got in ahead of days?
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Then night whenever it jumps burns hops, that's what they
got in ahead and now, Harry, that's where half a
Scoprognyard are spending their evenings.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Ever gets out from under the powers.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
It looks like a surprise party, and it's so swift
that they got a couple of fast coast guard jobs
and follows them all away across the gentleman yep then
comes to French plans and even a fellow comes from Belgium.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
By the time Swifty is forced out and looks like
an international conference. Does seem rather disco? I tell you,
the good times is finished.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Pickings was real niceive after the water was opportunities anymore?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
You're just getting tully the commisualize. All right, mom, what
do you suggest I want to go back home to
the States home eventually?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Yes, right now, there's maybe still too many people looking
for both of them.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Well, meanwhile, we got to live harving bat old man.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
It's the first objection to going straight that jumps into mind. Well,
how we got the plane? It's a pretty good little
play rise.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Okay, but like you and me, it's been around. It's
all the times at midnight we can chop around for
a suck of it. What are we doing the interimal
man for groceries? What would you say that it's having?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
How does this strain the.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Imperial Safeways shot a flight company cooperated.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Fly for private charter? Is that what you're driving at?
It's a business rise, quiet, steady and no trouble with
the current. A nice, quiet, steady little business and no trouble.
(04:53):
M little did we know? Well?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Anyway, that's how Safeway's plane charter incorporate.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It was born.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I bought myself a cap that said head pilot over
the visor and sat down with mow and our little
farm Nice certified way. It was in the French border,
chosen during more adventurous days for its remoteness to wait
for official permission and our reputation.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I wasn't too easy to fix.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
But finally the phone rang, and sure enough it was
the brass down in Nice. Would I fly over for
a top our niece was about a twenty minute.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Run from our private been a private.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Field, and pretty soon I was twisting my new cap
nervously and trying to look as honest as possible for
the benefit of some official or other who didn't say
not very impressive lime.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Yes, sir, we had a douse here here in Fiance
covering you suspected a nineteen forty six Oh yes, sir,
I say suspected line because we never actually caught you. No, sir, Yes,
we have also reports from Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Portugal, Spain,
(06:04):
Holland and the Republic of Summary.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
They never caught me either. As you say, well, here
is how I figured out the situation. Yes, sir, you
are requesting the right to operate a plane charter cut
that's right. Yes, you say that you're proposed to carry
passengers or even fright clear in the proper way, through
the proper chantere.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yes, why I ask you? Why? Well? Were it? It's
a business, It's I steady, a little business, not as
good as pubbling cigarettes. However, I really wouldn't know about that.
Speaker 7 (06:38):
Of course, now, as I say, I figured, the situation
has two possible explanations. Either you really want to operate
a homos charter service with your little.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Plane, that's exactly. And here I want you to follow
me very careful, yes sir.
Speaker 8 (06:55):
Or or you are plotting something so deep, so lies,
so crazy. Under the circumstances, I have no choice but
to compag with you.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Thank you. We are letting you start this charter company, Life,
We are permitting you to do. Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
God.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
We are keeping our eye on you, all of us.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
The police of whether it come to in Western Europe,
we are watching for anti tanks your life.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
And on the very first sign of antifactive.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
The very first whistle suspicion of antifactive, you will wish
that you have not.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
That you have never applied for your first commercial license. Indeed,
mister Life, you will wish that you had never been
born a man I don't like. The official attitude is regardless,
(07:56):
little caper.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
All we gotta do is break one routine, little regulation,
and we have a relationship passion.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
It's true that actually do one little slip. It's all
they're waiting to.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Don't forget, they know us.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
They're just reading after the chance to crack down on us.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
But everything we got away with before, start reading the
fine print and all.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
The rules and regulations. Or friend of my youth, somewhere.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
There's a little joker about tipping your right wing to matter,
or on applying south on the first.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Sunday after make from here, something like that, on.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Which the vigilant police of Europe will manage to fulfill
their fun dis dream and send us off to break stones.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
On that work time. And sad, I tell them all.
We never should have gone straight quitting a racket. That's okay,
that we should have retired, not gone into legitimate business.
It's too dangerous. Then there was the problem of getting trusted.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
The tourist season just about over, and then we had
turned out that almost everybody for first having those big, comfortable.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Fast airliners. Don't ask me why did you just do?
And I wasn't any more.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Tinkering needed on our little FLIVERM Hall, who was essentially
the maintenance staff, ground crew, and administrative wing of the
Safeway's Charter Flights Incorporated, took a slight powder on me
and went up to the farm and said he had
work to do, and all I couldn't think what that
could be. I also couldn't think of a good reason
why I should make him hang.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Around the airport with me. A week after that I
got my first customer. Your name is Line, that's right here.
My name is buddy boy. Just where would you like
to go? Is that your plane over the right?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yes, don't tell me it needs a bit of painted,
but reliable man And that a plain mister about a
boy that will definitely get you there?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Well, I'm ready, And where is it exactly you'd like
to get? A good Switzerland? But maybe I did a
week with Vidulous.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I'm like, oh, bo, for weeks ahead with will make
you very good, great mister, But the boy out for
your bags?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
How many can you take?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
This?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
The four easy and fired and a pitch? How many? Well,
now if you like? And I have to get clear,
but that won't take long. It's okay, and you go
ahead and get ship. I get sip from my woman
gott to attend you.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Why you chat there by?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
You play in the half hours to the safe way.
He's trying to flights, mister butter boy, Nothing is too soon.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I got my international currence. It's all fixed up with
traffic right on schedules. There was some kind of excitement
going on and passengers waiting them, but I didn't investigate.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It's only a hand well too right now. An attendant
came up with the message.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
But you're liars.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
What is it? You're the famous and Buttball has taught
a butter boy. Yes, is the train he charged? Whatever
he wants to go on ahead without him. You can't
go on without him. It if he's chartering the plane.
I know, I know that this butter Ball is very eccent.
We've had some dealings with him before. You must just
do as he said. So he wants to try to
the plane, not to take him to the story. Well,
(11:18):
why you're paid.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
He told me to give you the impacts, and what
are either when I get to Zurag not take him back.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
No, you've only as far as Paris, and wait, you
need to there tomorrow. What's wrong with you? Well?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Nothing is He just gave me a thousand bucks? Is
it tottle too little? It's almost twice what I expected him?
Or do I told you, monsieur, this butter ball is
extended to expeed.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Oh, you leave right away. That is a condition. If
you leave within the next two minutes, there would be
another thousand waiting for you in Paris. One and a
half minutes after that or with Harry was an I
(12:03):
seemed clear and still didn't like to look at the weather,
up at him.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Not For about half an hour, I was alone with
my thoughts, or rather I thought I was alone with
my thoughts.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Then gradually it began to dawn on me that I
wasn't the only one in the plame. Somebody was sitting
behind me, somebody who'd been hidden before.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Even if I haunted my duffel bag and the puetup,
it's kind of spooky. It was, well, it was, among
other things, a girl and a stowaway, and a very
attractive stowaway.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
Of that.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
In a moment, Orson Welles returns as Harry Lyme the
third man.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Now, kiddies, I'll have to admit that although I found
myself in the course of a fairly long and extremely
varied career in sympathy odd position, this was, by all
odds the oddest. Fifteen hundred feet over the sea level
over the doorway looked as though she belonged on a
calendar instead of than another.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
What are you doing here? Well, you don't feel like answering?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Po up in front so I can look at you.
Just time open over the sea and need to stick
to what it is gonna be bumpy old to come?
You heard me get up here in front?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Why should I? Because I say, sopose, I don't. Well, look,
is this the first time you've ever been in up?
Playing hand to me? Okay? Are you coming up in
front or not? I don't see why? Okay, then start
holding onto your hand. What do you mean little stunting?
(15:10):
I said to him, it up. It's getting the bad
time I have seen. Don't think you're not used to it.
I come up in front. I want to look at you. Okay,
here we go again? No, No, what stop? Stop that
all the time you get it out, say y'all do anything?
You just climb up over the seat, And they said
(15:32):
next man's talk. I'm gonna stow away on this airline.
I'd like to see what I'm talking to.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Yeah, come you ask boy?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Oh, just slide down in the seat. That's the second
are you doing? Don't forever?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I try to pick it up the side. I'm just
taking off my tool. But oh time, I don't just
put it on your shoulders.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Put it on. I'm gonna get me former. We're gonna
make ality over those novels. You're not what do you mean?
It's that you know as they say. I mean, you're
not so bad to say say, he says, I'm there
everybody what they say about you. I'm not notorious like you. No,
(16:18):
maybe not. I even I never stowed the way in
a private flame strikes me. It's a good way to
start building up a reputation, which not possible. It just happens.
I'm easier. What's I'm easy? A loss of memory? I
don't understand. I'm asking if you've lost your memory. I
don't know what happens. People lose things, you know. It's
kind of a girl, do you think, guy? You want
(16:39):
an absolutely Frank and Candida answer to that question. You mean,
what do you mean? What do I mean you have
a big, complicated way of time. I really asked you
if you wanted me to answer your question to you,
as I can't remember what it was, I am me
here no doubt. And there you go again with those
big words.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
You ask them what kind of a girl that I
think you were? I asked you if you wanted me
to give you an answer to that question, which was
proof or merely for life? Honey, I haven't got any
definite opinions. You in the next town, the next country,
right a couple of hours. And as well, what.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Do you mean by that? I don't like to look
at the sky up there over the mountains we're going
to be writing some and ask you whether if you
will all be killed?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Well, that's hope, not kidding. Kind of a strange couple
you and I think, never bothered to sip through the wreckage.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Now. I just mean we might be late, you might
have to fly around on.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
The outside of that storm. But by the way, what's
your name? Why shouldn't you?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Why should I? Young lady?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
This is, without any question, the most insane, the most inane,
the most meaningless, the most kiddiotic conversation. I've never held
a human being fifteen hundred feet over sea level or
anywhere else.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Now you're cross and shut up because I'm tired of
talking to you. That's why that's your attitude. One thing
I don't understand is how you ever managed to get
into the plane to begin with. Well, it was dull
(18:12):
and nobody was looking. But how did you know that
this was my plane? They pointed it out to us
when you came to the airplane. They said this was
the plane of high Line, the famous smug liver. Nobody's
ever been able to array. Oh they did, And that's
why you picked this plane and said it was one
of the big airlines. If I was a smuggler, you
think it, I could just be smuggling you.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
Is that it? Now?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
What do you do? Not doing it?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
He's buying a plank for the normal flight, and give
me a thousand bucks not to take into terrace, not
to take into er or whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah, but you're doing it in myself. I don't like
that weather up ahead, as I don't like what the
boys at the airport in Paris are likely to do
to me when they find you in the plane. What
to do?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I don't know that it won't be too pleasant for me.
I'm trying to build up a good reputation, trying to
prove that I reform. What's what's happened to me in
my first legitimate flight?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Oh there's no law against these there maybe not, but
there ought to be. So where are we going instead
of past? What do you think? Not back where we started?
You got some other country in mind?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Now what you used to?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Going back where we slid it? That's no fun. Besides,
I don't get any truck you'll get me. What do
you mean it? When you were fling? Didn't you have
a place for your home? Where you when you kept
you own thing? Let's still do with the farm the
president I live on. So now we never paid much
sense to the prompts to for you, I'll bus you that.
(19:39):
The education I'll do then what I mean? Then then
we'll see. Well you got some ideas here? I don't.
But I don't alone in the girl to school? That's
one thing. Sure, I don't belong that I'm not going.
(20:00):
But about those idees, what's school coming? You're still young
enough to be going to school a minor? You now
I know I'm going to jail now, were care Now
about the suppose.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You've got a passport and sealed anywhere on your person.
About the new ideas later, and now let's examine some
of the oldest getting in this plane.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
For instance, the reason I got in the plane was
so that I wouldn't have to go to this awful
finish in school. Everybody speaks French, to speak French and German,
not me. I want to get mad. Well, kids make
somebody a lovely wife, and that's what he says. I
that she could be. Indeed, because my uncle doesn't please,
she wus say old passions. Now about I was getting somewhere.
(20:45):
Maybe finally I can identify you. Please tell me about
your uncle. And I'm not going to tell he's just
a m he said, one who wanted to take me
after that school to do it. But I don't tell him.
Your uncle is what you've got a boy the paper cups.
But he gave me a thousand dollars to no O,
that was usual, a thousand dollars. I took the attendant
the airport that they see that message. Now about mine,
(21:07):
I get a thousands of dollars. I just thought it
while he wasn't Why who wasn't Rooky told you about
a boy that paid to come to me. I told
you that already. He's awful rich, my uncle working is
That's why I thought you want to kidnap me. Kidnap me,
you know on that farther I was a wife here
(21:27):
to pay almost anything to get you to that girls school.
And you could refuse to hand me over without getting
a million dollars or something.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Mm you know how that was holding corection the car
said I'd have money to marry else mine.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
What's wrong now? And I say not to get all
gone right? Well, aver, it is not Beyonce. Oh he
will marry me if I don't have any money. Oh,
but he isn't a get unreasonable. I'm sure you Let
you see some of the men to money yourself fast
to see if we're coming down now where? Oh you
mean the girl? That's right, I'm going to be kids up.
(22:06):
If we go down, we're going to the ground. What's problem? Commm?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Because we sat down in front of mos I told
little missus Featherhead to keep out of sight from him.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
I knew more, and I wanted to break things to
him gently.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Fine by the fine, but you.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Yes, you did. I mean your promised he was going
to say, I mean, you was going to keep a
stuck out of trouble. And I don't know what you're
talking you know about? The worst is you don't know
what I'm talking.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
About, Harry.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
I'm surprised that you over that.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Okay, open and I say, then, come on a.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Lout by little girl. What do you know? Thought a
little girl?

back at the airport. I don't wait at all try
to lie about it. They called me.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Why I'll protect it? He waiting minute? This is his dame.
I didn't wait around to make any explanations.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I just introduced them Hyacinth, her name was Hyason Butt
the Bothy and left the two of them on the
front to discuss it between themselves. Twenty minutes later, I
was back in the airport Nie with Uncle Warfield. Well
all I can see is that, Yeah, I see the vesicles. Yeah,
she's quite an original young lady.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
No, no that I came back to it. Sure yousure

And picking up legitimate. That's the word, Harry.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
That's what we got to get the beat the international cops.
I can tell you how he is entirely to organized.
You know, Swift, it Shlan and English Ever used to
fly in islands.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah, very smart little combination. I was what I'm doing.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
What happened? Everet makes it jump into angle last fight
and the parachute didn't open. You know that place on
the coast of Cornwell, Harry, it was you and me
placing the mother blafe ov.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
It that's safe.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
A little droppers you could find, Harry, six miles from
the road, no houses, nothing but header or what.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Do you think they got in ahead of days?
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Then night whenever it jumps burns hops, that's what they
got in ahead and now, Harry, that's where half a
Scoprognyard are spending their evenings.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Ever gets out from under the powers.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
It looks like a surprise party, and it's so swift
that they got a couple of fast coast guard jobs
and follows them all away across the gentleman yep then
comes to French plans and even a fellow comes from Belgium.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
By the time Swifty is forced out and looks like
an international conference. Does seem rather disco? I tell you,
the good times is finished.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Pickings was real niceive after the water was opportunities anymore?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
You're just getting tully the commisualize. All right, mom, what
do you suggest I want to go back home to
the States home eventually?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Yes, right now, there's maybe still too many people looking
for both of them.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Well, meanwhile, we got to live harving bat old man.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
It's the first objection to going straight that jumps into mind. Well,
how we got the plane? It's a pretty good little
play rise.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Okay, but like you and me, it's been around. It's
all the times at midnight we can chop around for
a suck of it. What are we doing the interimal
man for groceries? What would you say that it's having?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
How does this strain the.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Imperial Safeways shot a flight company cooperated.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Fly for private charter? Is that what you're driving at?
It's a business rise, quiet, steady and no trouble with
the current. A nice, quiet, steady little business and no trouble.
(04:53):
M little did we know? Well?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Anyway, that's how Safeway's plane charter incorporate.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It was born.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I bought myself a cap that said head pilot over
the visor and sat down with mow and our little
farm Nice certified way. It was in the French border,
chosen during more adventurous days for its remoteness to wait
for official permission and our reputation.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I wasn't too easy to fix.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
But finally the phone rang, and sure enough it was
the brass down in Nice. Would I fly over for
a top our niece was about a twenty minute.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Run from our private been a private.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Field, and pretty soon I was twisting my new cap
nervously and trying to look as honest as possible for
the benefit of some official or other who didn't say
not very impressive lime.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Yes, sir, we had a douse here here in Fiance
covering you suspected a nineteen forty six Oh yes, sir,
I say suspected line because we never actually caught you. No, sir, Yes,
we have also reports from Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Portugal, Spain,
(06:04):
Holland and the Republic of Summary.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
They never caught me either. As you say, well, here
is how I figured out the situation. Yes, sir, you
are requesting the right to operate a plane charter cut
that's right. Yes, you say that you're proposed to carry
passengers or even fright clear in the proper way, through
the proper chantere.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yes, why I ask you? Why? Well? Were it? It's
a business, It's I steady, a little business, not as
good as pubbling cigarettes. However, I really wouldn't know about that.
Speaker 7 (06:38):
Of course, now, as I say, I figured, the situation
has two possible explanations. Either you really want to operate
a homos charter service with your little.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Plane, that's exactly. And here I want you to follow
me very careful, yes sir.
Speaker 8 (06:55):
Or or you are plotting something so deep, so lies,
so crazy. Under the circumstances, I have no choice but
to compag with you.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Thank you. We are letting you start this charter company, Life,
We are permitting you to do. Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
God.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
We are keeping our eye on you, all of us.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
The police of whether it come to in Western Europe,
we are watching for anti tanks your life.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
And on the very first sign of antifactive.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
The very first whistle suspicion of antifactive, you will wish
that you have not.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
That you have never applied for your first commercial license. Indeed,
mister Life, you will wish that you had never been
born a man I don't like. The official attitude is regardless,
(07:56):
little caper.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
All we gotta do is break one routine, little regulation,
and we have a relationship passion.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
It's true that actually do one little slip. It's all
they're waiting to.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Don't forget, they know us.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
They're just reading after the chance to crack down on us.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
But everything we got away with before, start reading the
fine print and all.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
The rules and regulations. Or friend of my youth, somewhere.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
There's a little joker about tipping your right wing to matter,
or on applying south on the first.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Sunday after make from here, something like that, on.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Which the vigilant police of Europe will manage to fulfill
their fun dis dream and send us off to break stones.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
On that work time. And sad, I tell them all.
We never should have gone straight quitting a racket. That's okay,
that we should have retired, not gone into legitimate business.
It's too dangerous. Then there was the problem of getting trusted.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
The tourist season just about over, and then we had
turned out that almost everybody for first having those big, comfortable.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Fast airliners. Don't ask me why did you just do?
And I wasn't any more.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Tinkering needed on our little FLIVERM Hall, who was essentially
the maintenance staff, ground crew, and administrative wing of the
Safeway's Charter Flights Incorporated, took a slight powder on me
and went up to the farm and said he had
work to do, and all I couldn't think what that
could be. I also couldn't think of a good reason
why I should make him hang.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Around the airport with me. A week after that I
got my first customer. Your name is Line, that's right here.
My name is buddy boy. Just where would you like
to go? Is that your plane over the right?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yes, don't tell me it needs a bit of painted,
but reliable man And that a plain mister about a
boy that will definitely get you there?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Well, I'm ready, And where is it exactly you'd like
to get? A good Switzerland? But maybe I did a
week with Vidulous.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I'm like, oh, bo, for weeks ahead with will make
you very good, great mister, But the boy out for
your bags?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
How many can you take?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
This?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
The four easy and fired and a pitch? How many? Well,
now if you like? And I have to get clear,
but that won't take long. It's okay, and you go
ahead and get ship. I get sip from my woman
gott to attend you.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Why you chat there by?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
You play in the half hours to the safe way.
He's trying to flights, mister butter boy, Nothing is too soon.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I got my international currence. It's all fixed up with
traffic right on schedules. There was some kind of excitement
going on and passengers waiting them, but I didn't investigate.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It's only a hand well too right now. An attendant
came up with the message.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
But you're liars.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
What is it? You're the famous and Buttball has taught
a butter boy. Yes, is the train he charged? Whatever
he wants to go on ahead without him. You can't
go on without him. It if he's chartering the plane.
I know, I know that this butter Ball is very eccent.
We've had some dealings with him before. You must just
do as he said. So he wants to try to
the plane, not to take him to the story. Well,
(11:18):
why you're paid.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
He told me to give you the impacts, and what
are either when I get to Zurag not take him back.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
No, you've only as far as Paris, and wait, you
need to there tomorrow. What's wrong with you? Well?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Nothing is He just gave me a thousand bucks? Is
it tottle too little? It's almost twice what I expected him?
Or do I told you, monsieur, this butter ball is
extended to expeed.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Oh, you leave right away. That is a condition. If
you leave within the next two minutes, there would be
another thousand waiting for you in Paris. One and a
half minutes after that or with Harry was an I
(12:03):
seemed clear and still didn't like to look at the weather,
up at him.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Not For about half an hour, I was alone with
my thoughts, or rather I thought I was alone with
my thoughts.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Then gradually it began to dawn on me that I
wasn't the only one in the plame. Somebody was sitting
behind me, somebody who'd been hidden before.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Even if I haunted my duffel bag and the puetup,
it's kind of spooky. It was, well, it was, among
other things, a girl and a stowaway, and a very
attractive stowaway.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
Of that.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
In a moment, Orson Welles returns as Harry Lyme the
third man.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Now, kiddies, I'll have to admit that although I found
myself in the course of a fairly long and extremely
varied career in sympathy odd position, this was, by all
odds the oddest. Fifteen hundred feet over the sea level
over the doorway looked as though she belonged on a
calendar instead of than another.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
What are you doing here? Well, you don't feel like answering?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Po up in front so I can look at you.
Just time open over the sea and need to stick
to what it is gonna be bumpy old to come?
You heard me get up here in front?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Why should I? Because I say, sopose, I don't. Well, look,
is this the first time you've ever been in up?
Playing hand to me? Okay? Are you coming up in
front or not? I don't see why? Okay, then start
holding onto your hand. What do you mean little stunting?
(15:10):
I said to him, it up. It's getting the bad
time I have seen. Don't think you're not used to it.
I come up in front. I want to look at you. Okay,
here we go again? No, No, what stop? Stop that
all the time you get it out, say y'all do anything?
You just climb up over the seat, And they said
(15:32):
next man's talk. I'm gonna stow away on this airline.
I'd like to see what I'm talking to.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Yeah, come you ask boy?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Oh, just slide down in the seat. That's the second
are you doing? Don't forever?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I try to pick it up the side. I'm just
taking off my tool. But oh time, I don't just
put it on your shoulders.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Put it on. I'm gonna get me former. We're gonna
make ality over those novels. You're not what do you mean?
It's that you know as they say. I mean, you're
not so bad to say say, he says, I'm there
everybody what they say about you. I'm not notorious like you. No,
(16:18):
maybe not. I even I never stowed the way in
a private flame strikes me. It's a good way to
start building up a reputation, which not possible. It just happens.
I'm easier. What's I'm easy? A loss of memory? I
don't understand. I'm asking if you've lost your memory. I
don't know what happens. People lose things, you know. It's
kind of a girl, do you think, guy? You want
(16:39):
an absolutely Frank and Candida answer to that question. You mean,
what do you mean? What do I mean you have
a big, complicated way of time. I really asked you
if you wanted me to answer your question to you,
as I can't remember what it was, I am me
here no doubt. And there you go again with those
big words.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
You ask them what kind of a girl that I
think you were? I asked you if you wanted me
to give you an answer to that question, which was
proof or merely for life? Honey, I haven't got any
definite opinions. You in the next town, the next country,
right a couple of hours. And as well, what.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Do you mean by that? I don't like to look
at the sky up there over the mountains we're going
to be writing some and ask you whether if you
will all be killed?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Well, that's hope, not kidding. Kind of a strange couple
you and I think, never bothered to sip through the wreckage.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Now. I just mean we might be late, you might
have to fly around on.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
The outside of that storm. But by the way, what's
your name? Why shouldn't you?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Why should I? Young lady?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
This is, without any question, the most insane, the most inane,
the most meaningless, the most kiddiotic conversation. I've never held
a human being fifteen hundred feet over sea level or
anywhere else.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Now you're cross and shut up because I'm tired of
talking to you. That's why that's your attitude. One thing
I don't understand is how you ever managed to get
into the plane to begin with. Well, it was dull
(18:12):
and nobody was looking. But how did you know that
this was my plane? They pointed it out to us
when you came to the airplane. They said this was
the plane of high Line, the famous smug liver. Nobody's
ever been able to array. Oh they did, And that's
why you picked this plane and said it was one
of the big airlines. If I was a smuggler, you
think it, I could just be smuggling you.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
Is that it? Now?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
What do you do? Not doing it?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
He's buying a plank for the normal flight, and give
me a thousand bucks not to take into terrace, not
to take into er or whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah, but you're doing it in myself. I don't like
that weather up ahead, as I don't like what the
boys at the airport in Paris are likely to do
to me when they find you in the plane. What
to do?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I don't know that it won't be too pleasant for me.
I'm trying to build up a good reputation, trying to
prove that I reform. What's what's happened to me in
my first legitimate flight?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Oh there's no law against these there maybe not, but
there ought to be. So where are we going instead
of past? What do you think? Not back where we started?
You got some other country in mind?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Now what you used to?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Going back where we slid it? That's no fun. Besides,
I don't get any truck you'll get me. What do
you mean it? When you were fling? Didn't you have
a place for your home? Where you when you kept
you own thing? Let's still do with the farm the
president I live on. So now we never paid much
sense to the prompts to for you, I'll bus you that.
(19:39):
The education I'll do then what I mean? Then then
we'll see. Well you got some ideas here? I don't.
But I don't alone in the girl to school? That's
one thing. Sure, I don't belong that I'm not going.
(20:00):
But about those idees, what's school coming? You're still young
enough to be going to school a minor? You now
I know I'm going to jail now, were care Now
about the suppose.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You've got a passport and sealed anywhere on your person.
About the new ideas later, and now let's examine some
of the oldest getting in this plane.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
For instance, the reason I got in the plane was
so that I wouldn't have to go to this awful
finish in school. Everybody speaks French, to speak French and German,
not me. I want to get mad. Well, kids make
somebody a lovely wife, and that's what he says. I
that she could be. Indeed, because my uncle doesn't please,
she wus say old passions. Now about I was getting somewhere.
(20:45):
Maybe finally I can identify you. Please tell me about
your uncle. And I'm not going to tell he's just
a m he said, one who wanted to take me
after that school to do it. But I don't tell him.
Your uncle is what you've got a boy the paper cups.
But he gave me a thousand dollars to no O,
that was usual, a thousand dollars. I took the attendant
the airport that they see that message. Now about mine,
(21:07):
I get a thousands of dollars. I just thought it
while he wasn't Why who wasn't Rooky told you about
a boy that paid to come to me. I told
you that already. He's awful rich, my uncle working is
That's why I thought you want to kidnap me. Kidnap me,
you know on that farther I was a wife here
(21:27):
to pay almost anything to get you to that girls school.
And you could refuse to hand me over without getting
a million dollars or something.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Mm you know how that was holding corection the car
said I'd have money to marry else mine.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
What's wrong now? And I say not to get all
gone right? Well, aver, it is not Beyonce. Oh he
will marry me if I don't have any money. Oh,
but he isn't a get unreasonable. I'm sure you Let
you see some of the men to money yourself fast
to see if we're coming down now where? Oh you
mean the girl? That's right, I'm going to be kids up.
(22:06):
If we go down, we're going to the ground. What's problem? Commm?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Because we sat down in front of mos I told
little missus Featherhead to keep out of sight from him.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
I knew more, and I wanted to break things to
him gently.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Fine by the fine, but you.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Yes, you did. I mean your promised he was going
to say, I mean, you was going to keep a
stuck out of trouble. And I don't know what you're
talking you know about? The worst is you don't know
what I'm talking.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
About, Harry.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
I'm surprised that you over that.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Okay, open and I say, then, come on a.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Lout by little girl. What do you know? Thought a
little girl?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
I went put a snatch on some poor little child
back at the airport. I don't wait at all try
to lie about it. They called me.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Why I'll protect it? He waiting minute? This is his dame.
I didn't wait around to make any explanations.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I just introduced them Hyacinth, her name was Hyason Butt
the Bothy and left the two of them on the
front to discuss it between themselves. Twenty minutes later, I
was back in the airport Nie with Uncle Warfield. Well
all I can see is that, Yeah, I see the vesicles. Yeah,
she's quite an original young lady.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
No, no that I came back to it. Sure yousure

She gave me the slip and the Inkennedy had told
me about that Polly message.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
That farmo you know what apter now you full up

said I'd tell a half million if he stay.

In its second season, the series tackles the threat of terrorism in the United States.
