Awes and Wells returns in just a moment as the
third man, and now Uson Wells as the third man
(13:41):
continues with today's story, Who is Company.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
It was a long walk back to town and the
hot Sicilian Sun was already in for charge of things.
And I got the hotel. I was so tired that
if the wall border had pointed at me and would
have birth into tears.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I didn't give him a chance.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
You're being able to business of the hotel, Bill, and
I let myself in by the back and made my
way to Gus's room.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I thought I felt lousy, but now after I got
a look at Gus Bertie with.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
A yellow bill hopped up on my window sill.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Cocky shining hair, sad. Ain't a shame to sweep hands.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Oh wait, I just want to do after we talk.
A little business goes a rise, A rise for morning
in the bowl of night is plunging a stone.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
That puts the stars, because this is no time for port.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Well, if you don't get up right away, I'll start
singing again.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
All right, all right, I'll get it, I get want me.
Hell no, just sit down and stop rocking the room.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
I hate to break in on this gust oron, but
I've got a proposition. What would you say if Emily
is kidnapped? That's right, kiddenapped by a Sicilian brigand Sicilian
brigand what is this?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
What's the big Emily's always wanted you to be a heroine,
and she well, this is your big chance, goes me.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Lad you wanted to be a hero, don't you. You're
going to rescue Emily from the bandits layer? You're kidding, though,
I'm not. You mean she really is kidnapping, she thinks,
And I said, old man hicken Hooper is gonna think
when he.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Gets the ransom note. But you and I know better.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
The ransom noticed supposed to come from bout seeing. You know,
we have, don't you You mean a band it's the bandit.
We've got our own private bandit. If I had an
Italian actor to play the part, you mean it's a fake.
The idea is for you to go to a rescue
with a blank cartridge pistol. Our actors put up a
convincing fight, but you overwhelmed them very bravely, just like
Errol's wing playing bandits. Take their eyes and the way
you go into the sunset with Emily.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Wait, what do you get out of it? Just the
fun of bringing two young people together old man plus
my descent.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
After I got dust fully dressed, I gave him a
toy pistol and the fountain, paying the fountain pendant to
write me a check where and the gun was keeping
company where he was going where he's trying to get
out of sight, and put a check to drive.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Then I knocked on him and his door Heraldo Limo.
But Senior in I and Sistan and Cicely there are
under the.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Hours protectives say that for later.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Emily, please open up.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
This is a matter of life and death.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
You know it's true.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
It's about dark Emily.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
He's been deadly, peril, deadly.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
I mean he's been kidding that. Please let me and Emily,
I can't stand it.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
In all shouting around and everybody'll hear. Just put on
a Kimona, honey, there's no time to spare.
Speaker 9 (16:21):
Is it true?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yes? Yes, it seems he got drunk last night.
Speaker 9 (16:24):

Speaker 6 (16:27):
So?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Thank you not to lock the door, Emily.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
You just don't understand about this country. You've heard of
the mafia, haven't you. Well there's spies or for the police.
No use, the police are in on it too. I'm
the only man you can trust.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Take this.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
It's a falcon thing. Well, you can't write a check
without it?
Speaker 9 (16:45):

Speaker 2 (16:46):
How much is he worth?
Speaker 9 (16:47):
Oh, coraldo anything?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
What should we say? Ten thousand?
Speaker 9 (16:50):
All right, it's pretty a bit till I get my check.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Let's say fifteen thousands?
Speaker 9 (16:53):
Sure it is? Well, what did you say you're own?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
I said twenty thousand. It's a nice round Soun's just
we don't want about seating to get angry.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Emily know what he does when he's angry? No, what
does he do? It's not for woman's ears?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Speaking of ears, Emily, you wouldn't like to get one
of Gussy's eody seen. He has a way of cutting
off an ear at the dotted line and sending it
along to the folks at home.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
That's when he thinks the rants of money isn't enough.
What do you want, Emily, Gus or Gussy's ears? Oh gosh,
we'll then make it twenty five thousand table to Harry Lyon.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Harry Lyme?
Speaker 8 (17:22):
Who's he?
Speaker 9 (17:22):
Coraldo?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Just a man, I know, a sort of go between.
Speaker 9 (17:26):
But can we trust you?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Harry Lyon? He's the best friend I have in this world?
Speaker 5 (17:38):
How much farther do we have to go out the
end of the line, Emily?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
From here on up? You've got the wall only a
pocket narrow it. I'm going to send a signal.
Speaker 9 (17:47):
Oh I know I saw you in the sun. See
you right, Horaldo?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
No excuse me. Look, look they're answering up there on
the mountain peak.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Well know what happened.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Well one of us has got to go up there
and talk about seeing it first.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
It is better than me.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I couldn't send a woman into a situation like that.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Say one of us goes up there and the other
drives the jeep back to town. That's part of the arrangement. Course,
that road is awfully tricky.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yes it is some places. The drop is over two
thousand feet.
Speaker 9 (18:19):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Oh, it's just a guitar, just to but scene.

He's a strange felling of a magic looks like his
pictures too. Well, you better get going.
Speaker 9 (18:30):
Yes, I don't know how to drive the cheek, not
very well.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
That's okay. I can teach you a little bit.
Speaker 9 (18:35):
You know what I think, Roaldo. I think on the
whole it might be better if you drove the.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Cheek and leave you alone with bu seeing you, Emily,
you don't know what these Sicilians are like, particularly by seeing.
Speaker 9 (18:46):
You go back into town, Heraldo.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
I drove the jeep back by the other road, the
easy way, and played a call on this condition. I
found him in the ocean trying to spear a fish.
When I told him that his daughter was kidnapped, he
almost skewered me. Mister hicken Upo is the small fat
sight of ole type. And it was until I got
the fish spear out of his hands that I managed
(19:09):
to get the conversation on a civilized plane.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Cannot my daughter in the hands of a bandits bying
you it.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
We should have stayed in Minneapolis.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
What are we doing now, Well, first you better take
off those goggles and get dressed. Then then we talked
to Bartini. Hoti Bartzini is a bandit. We've been all
over this before, mister hicken Hooper, he's the.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
One who's holding your daughter for ransom.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Just leave me to him, that's all I ad.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Just leave me to him, and then you see who's
holding who and who pays.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
On the other side of Katania and some eighty kilometers inland,
there's a Greek temple. It's nothing very remarkable as Greek
temples go. It's a long way from anything else. He's
up on a hills canast, so that's why I picked
it for Arondezu. Above all, it was about as distant
as I could get from signor Barzini, so that may
be corrected the idea where I sent Gus before and
when mister hicken User and I arrived with my chief,
(20:04):
the vice president of Fulso Ghosts, Whichmid's luxury markets, it
worked himself up into quite a nasty.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Frame of mind. I didn't blame him.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
After abaly doing the most of the day with nothing
to keep in company but the worst hangover of the century.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Where is she? That's what I want to know. I
brought you some beer, gus give it to me. Let's
tell me where she is. And this is the man
that's lay I got.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
This couple is where they hang out? Know they don't
I mean know it is? Give me that.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Don't you want to open it first?
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Around here?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Oh? There will be, don't you Fred? After all, we've
got plenty of sandwiches and beer. We're just going to
have to make ourselves comfortable. And wait, since we're about it,
I noticed that I just happened to have some praying
cards in my pocket.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Would you gentlemen care to join.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Me in a slight game of canasty? It was a
long wait, That's what I wanted. That's where I brought
the provisions in the sleeping days. It was my plan
to run off the ransom money and that needed time. Meanwhile,
a nice steady profit was coming in from the canaster.
That's fifteen hundred more I owe you by to fuck
o man. Yeah, I'm sorry, I can't give you another check.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I run out of checks.
Speaker 10 (21:05):
Well, if I don't hear something from that bandit by morning.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Something, so man, be reasonable. What can we do? But wait,
look a red three. This can't go on forever, Harry,
not if you've run out of checks. I mean, I
suppose he's killed you or don't worry. They never do that.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Well what do they do?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Harry? Why don't you answer? I'll fellas I I just
don't know what to say. Remember these bandits as savages.
They stop at nothing that o't figure up another canaster.
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
I'll go into Catanya and try to make some connections
with a math here. Maybe maybe if we send a
little more money. I tell you I haven't any more checks,
or you have got some more money, old man, lots
of it now I think of it.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
It just happens.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
I have some blank checks here and I pocket make
out another for ten thousand. I'll see what I can do,
all right, All right, don't give.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Me that thousand?
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Family at ten thousand plus fifteen hundred for the last canastic?
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Okay, what's wrong?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
That's just there's a man over there where in the shack.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
Where yeah here, I am sing your line because he's
got to. I'm so have I stick him up.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
You telling no, no, you.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Don't gus, not with that.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
You don't choose to try to shoot it out with you.
That is not bad Zini his way.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
But you're the band, that's right, because he's the man
that I'll put that gun away like that.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
You're done right, I'll put it away.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
I'll throw it away.
Speaker 10 (22:16):
You don't look much like a manner to me, mister.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
Let's see how you like this?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Good Emily does one you've done to it. He's sacked
him in the kisser, that's what he's under. Couldn't work,
my boy, Oh, there was nothing really.
Speaker 9 (22:29):
Fredo Alfredo speak to the Alfredo.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
You hear that she calls him Alfredo?
Speaker 9 (22:34):
Of course I do.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
That's his name. That's all I can say.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
What about hickeloocas a silly neighbor, A silly band, A
silly bandit, that's what I said, A silly band, I know.
But there's no reason to hurt any Well, how could
he be abandoned without a gunn You don't think he's
shooting body with it, do you?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
But he was holding it a roundom nonsense.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
He just wanted somebody to play his guitar to or
Alfredo speak to the Alfredo will turn to the herd speak.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
I think I would just live here, Emily. I put
it up you su early here and now, Emily, you're
going to have to choose between us.
Speaker 9 (23:03):
What do you mean choose?
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Is that man or me?
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Emily?
Speaker 9 (23:07):
Now you're being silly, Emily.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
I think Gus has a right to know your intention intentions.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
I intend to get married, that's my intention, and as
soon as possible, be cool here, Alfredo.
Speaker 9 (23:16):
Just let me put this under your head. Then you'll
be more comfany. Oh, Gus, you are an idiot, aren't you?
But at least you don't slow of garlic and decides.
I've always loved you, g Emily, Gus.

gone to?
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Harry?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Oh, Harry, he seems to be running away.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
He'd better not slow up, Lucky.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
The banks are closed. Come on, we've got to get
into town and stop paying on some checks.
Speaker 9 (23:41):
May you just lie there, Alfredo, You'll be all right now.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I've just wanted to ask you something.
Speaker 10 (23:45):
Ami, Yes, Alfreda, when you get back to America, Amedy,
will you ask pretty Grea able to send me a peach.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Harry Lin returns in just a moment, and.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
So much for that little flutter in banditry and romance.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
In some days I had nice fat checks from Guts
Emily and mister hicken Up. But a check is not
used unless you can talk a bank into giving you money.
I couldn't stop to talk. Could have dropped me a
lesson affair in a love affair, I mean a real
romance to his company, and the third man is a

those the boots had kicked me. There is very much
what happened.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I suppose. The Sicily is really as nice as.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
The travel post to say, And I didn't have much
of a chance to check up on it during my
stare was too busy running away. And of course I
got a glance at the snowcap Kipps of Ethna for
a moment, and I saw the orange grows used to
run through and dodged around most of the orange groves.
And very lovely.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
It's going so sicily.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
But like the man said about, California's a wonderful place

Luxury market in your community, in every community. We have
the biggest chain of super grocery stores.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
In the States.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
And you are mister Schmidt.

That's Adold Schmidt.

Oh, of course not. Well I am you mentioned Gus.
Forgive my curiosity, but it is the her hiccken Looper. Yeah,
she's the hicken Looper heiress and sort of minded you
in capulate story. I gather in what's your calculate Juliet's family,
you know, Roman Julie. I gathered the Schmidts and the
hicken Loopers are fuding. Adolph Smith takes a dim view
of acan Hooper empire. And that's what's keeping you apart.
Correct me, if I'm wrong.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
You're wrong.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
The Schmidts and hicken Loopers are all in favor of
emergency would be the biggest thing in groceries, that is
all that hicken Loopers are in favor, but one you
mean the error, that's right, Emily, She says, the grocery
business isn't romantic.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
And how are you dealing with the situation, garz ol Man?
Have you told your lover or have you let concealment
like a worm of the bud feed on your damna's cheek?
Speaker 2 (04:37):

Pine in thought and with a green and yellow melancholy
si like patience on a monument, smiling at grief.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, I guess set about ss of it?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
You're a very educated, say crook. I keep telling you, Gus,
I am not a crook.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
Yeah, And I keep telling Emily, I'm not a grocer.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
Five tender, two double specialties.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
That evening in a s my lift wid condition, Augustus
Schmidt three was consigned to his sweep by myself, the bartender.
Then I bought it. I offered to undress the air
of the smith's medians and making comfortable. But the point
it didn't.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Seem to want to leave me alone in the room.
The people will persist and.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Regarding me as a petty thief. And that's so wrong.
I think in big turns, and he's going to have
to It was the pressing matter of the hotel build,
the management of the Theodora Palace. Thinking big terms. Also,
I went out for a walk to brood over this question.
It was a full moon and a large cast of
Sicilian stars world.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Doing that bit.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
The air was dizzy, with a perfume of flowers on
the palets over the sea.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
That's to make them perfect. It was a beautiful girl. Hello, hello,
nice night.
Speaker 8 (05:43):
Huh huh, p houma, look at that moon. Yeah, smell
rose flowers. Okay, sure, it is one of the most
gorgeous and beautiful moments if there ever was in the
history of the world.
Speaker 9 (05:53):
And what did you got to say about it?
Speaker 8 (05:55):
It's a nice night, just like all the other Americans
interested in mundane matters like money and gross your.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Emily, And how did you know?
Speaker 9 (06:04):
I just guess you don't have to excuse me for
being so rude. But a nervousness, Oh no, he just hasty.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
What do you mean jumping at conclusion? For all you know?
I might be Lord Byron. Oh he's dead. It might
be a ghosts.
Speaker 9 (06:16):
Yes, I suppose you might be. No, but somehow I
don't think too well. You know, I don't think there
any more virons or ghosts of Brons or anything.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
No, no, okay, no.
Speaker 9 (06:25):
The whole world's so commercial nowadays. There is many more romance.
Not even insist.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
That's why you left Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Were you're looking for romance?
Speaker 9 (06:32):
I didn't leave Indianapolis. I left Minneapolis.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
That's right. Gus is from Indians.
Speaker 8 (06:36):
Yes, you can go back there for all of me.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
You've made us a very unhappy man, emily unhappy.
Speaker 9 (06:41):
So you don't know the meaning of the word. There's
no unhappiness like grocery business.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Supposing there's a failure in the pea crops, supposing the
asparagus withers, the asparagus cans of the frozen food doesn't
freeze or was Yes, those you're a nice young grocer,
a good looking grocer, a fad and your girl refuses
to love you.
Speaker 9 (06:56):
Oh I love him, I gef.

No, that isn't the point.
Speaker 9 (07:01):
You mean you're a socili You've got an American accent.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
I went to finishing school in New Jersey joking me
a little bit, but I do think it's a shame
for her. As pretty as you are to be, as
miserable as you are to night, as wonderful as this is.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
You think if I kissed you you could learn to
love Gus.
Speaker 9 (07:15):
Now, don't get fresh.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
That's not fresh, it's romantic. Is He's all in the
point of view? Emily had can meet me. I'm going
to kiss you.
Speaker 9 (07:25):
Good night, mister Remo. It was very nice meeting you
under walk back with you. I'd wrot alone all right?
Good night aroundo.

The police don't think you's so cute, and neither it
was victory he kidnap calls them for ransom.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Ema, what's wrong?

Gee? Some people have horrible rock.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
In spite of her protests, I walked Emily back to
the hotel, and in spite of my protest.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I didn't get another kissed. So I told you that
I was fine and the moon was full.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
So I went to my room, changed into a bat
heavy walking shoes, and then started hiking into the interior.
After three hours and a half of tough climbing, I
arrived at the secret mountain headquarters of the Bandit about Sini?

steady grable a. She's the heiress of the hicken Looper grocery.
Fortunate is another way of saying that she's rich beyond
the dreams of avarice and wants to be kidnapped. Yeah,
told you no, But that's what I've gathered. She lives
at your daughter hotel with her father, and that's the
hicken Hooper. So I don't think that's very practical as as.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
A cording of police around the time.
Speaker 10 (11:47):
I laugh at the police, I will die happily fighting
my way to her side.

of the ransom.

All right? And you just play your guitar, old man.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I'll range everything, because to keep the kidnapping on a
professional basis. I'm going to have to hold out for
my percentage.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
There you go again, money.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I don't be unreasonable man.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
After all you you've got the brigand business, hicke loopers
have their groceries, and I've got to live.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Don't all right? Feel about that? Bringly, it's blonde and
you will leave. You're lying to a nice old day,
but do not disappoint me. So I see what you mean.
I see what you mean.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Awes and Wells returns in just a moment as the
third man, and now Uson Wells as the third man
(13:41):
continues with today's story, Who is Company.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
It was a long walk back to town and the
hot Sicilian Sun was already in for charge of things.
And I got the hotel. I was so tired that
if the wall border had pointed at me and would
have birth into tears.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I didn't give him a chance.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
You're being able to business of the hotel, Bill, and
I let myself in by the back and made my
way to Gus's room.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I thought I felt lousy, but now after I got
a look at Gus Bertie with.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
A yellow bill hopped up on my window sill.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Cocky shining hair, sad. Ain't a shame to sweep hands.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Oh wait, I just want to do after we talk.
A little business goes a rise, A rise for morning
in the bowl of night is plunging a stone.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
That puts the stars, because this is no time for port.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Well, if you don't get up right away, I'll start
singing again.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
All right, all right, I'll get it, I get want me.
Hell no, just sit down and stop rocking the room.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
I hate to break in on this gust oron, but
I've got a proposition. What would you say if Emily
is kidnapped? That's right, kiddenapped by a Sicilian brigand Sicilian
brigand what is this?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
What's the big Emily's always wanted you to be a heroine,
and she well, this is your big chance, goes me.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Lad you wanted to be a hero, don't you. You're
going to rescue Emily from the bandits layer? You're kidding, though,
I'm not. You mean she really is kidnapping, she thinks,
And I said, old man hicken Hooper is gonna think
when he.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Gets the ransom note. But you and I know better.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
The ransom noticed supposed to come from bout seeing. You know,
we have, don't you You mean a band it's the bandit.
We've got our own private bandit. If I had an
Italian actor to play the part, you mean it's a fake.
The idea is for you to go to a rescue
with a blank cartridge pistol. Our actors put up a
convincing fight, but you overwhelmed them very bravely, just like
Errol's wing playing bandits. Take their eyes and the way
you go into the sunset with Emily.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Wait, what do you get out of it? Just the
fun of bringing two young people together old man plus
my descent.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
After I got dust fully dressed, I gave him a
toy pistol and the fountain, paying the fountain pendant to
write me a check where and the gun was keeping
company where he was going where he's trying to get
out of sight, and put a check to drive.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Then I knocked on him and his door Heraldo Limo.
But Senior in I and Sistan and Cicely there are
under the.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Hours protectives say that for later.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Emily, please open up.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
This is a matter of life and death.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
You know it's true.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
It's about dark Emily.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
He's been deadly, peril, deadly.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
I mean he's been kidding that. Please let me and Emily,
I can't stand it.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
In all shouting around and everybody'll hear. Just put on
a Kimona, honey, there's no time to spare.
Speaker 9 (16:21):
Is it true?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yes? Yes, it seems he got drunk last night.
Speaker 9 (16:24):
He told me he was going.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
He made it. Can I come here?
Speaker 9 (16:27):
He suppose?
Speaker 6 (16:27):
So?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Thank you not to lock the door, Emily.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
You just don't understand about this country. You've heard of
the mafia, haven't you. Well there's spies or for the police.
No use, the police are in on it too. I'm
the only man you can trust.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Take this.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
It's a falcon thing. Well, you can't write a check
without it?
Speaker 9 (16:45):
How much would he ask you?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
How much is he worth?
Speaker 9 (16:47):
Oh, coraldo anything?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
What should we say? Ten thousand?
Speaker 9 (16:50):
All right, it's pretty a bit till I get my check.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Let's say fifteen thousands?
Speaker 9 (16:53):
Sure it is? Well, what did you say you're own?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
I said twenty thousand. It's a nice round Soun's just
we don't want about seating to get angry.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Emily know what he does when he's angry? No, what
does he do? It's not for woman's ears?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Speaking of ears, Emily, you wouldn't like to get one
of Gussy's eody seen. He has a way of cutting
off an ear at the dotted line and sending it
along to the folks at home.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
That's when he thinks the rants of money isn't enough.
What do you want, Emily, Gus or Gussy's ears? Oh gosh,
we'll then make it twenty five thousand table to Harry Lyon.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Harry Lyme?
Speaker 8 (17:22):
Who's he?
Speaker 9 (17:22):
Coraldo?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Just a man, I know, a sort of go between.
Speaker 9 (17:26):
But can we trust you?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Harry Lyon? He's the best friend I have in this world?
Speaker 5 (17:38):
How much farther do we have to go out the
end of the line, Emily?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
From here on up? You've got the wall only a
pocket narrow it. I'm going to send a signal.
Speaker 9 (17:47):
Oh I know I saw you in the sun. See
you right, Horaldo?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
No excuse me. Look, look they're answering up there on
the mountain peak.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Well know what happened.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Well one of us has got to go up there
and talk about seeing it first.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
It is better than me.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I couldn't send a woman into a situation like that.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Say one of us goes up there and the other
drives the jeep back to town. That's part of the arrangement. Course,
that road is awfully tricky.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yes it is some places. The drop is over two
thousand feet.
Speaker 9 (18:19):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Oh, it's just a guitar, just to but scene.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
He's a strange felling of a magic looks like his
pictures too. Well, you better get going.
Speaker 9 (18:30):
Yes, I don't know how to drive the cheek, not
very well.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
That's okay. I can teach you a little bit.
Speaker 9 (18:35):
You know what I think, Roaldo. I think on the
whole it might be better if you drove the.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Cheek and leave you alone with bu seeing you, Emily,
you don't know what these Sicilians are like, particularly by seeing.
Speaker 9 (18:46):
You go back into town, Heraldo.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
I drove the jeep back by the other road, the
easy way, and played a call on this condition. I
found him in the ocean trying to spear a fish.
When I told him that his daughter was kidnapped, he
almost skewered me. Mister hicken Upo is the small fat
sight of ole type. And it was until I got
the fish spear out of his hands that I managed
(19:09):
to get the conversation on a civilized plane.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Cannot my daughter in the hands of a bandits bying
you it.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
We should have stayed in Minneapolis.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
What are we doing now, Well, first you better take
off those goggles and get dressed. Then then we talked
to Bartini. Hoti Bartzini is a bandit. We've been all
over this before, mister hicken Hooper, he's the.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
One who's holding your daughter for ransom.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Just leave me to him, that's all I ad.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Just leave me to him, and then you see who's
holding who and who pays.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
On the other side of Katania and some eighty kilometers inland,
there's a Greek temple. It's nothing very remarkable as Greek
temples go. It's a long way from anything else. He's
up on a hills canast, so that's why I picked
it for Arondezu. Above all, it was about as distant
as I could get from signor Barzini, so that may
be corrected the idea where I sent Gus before and
when mister hicken User and I arrived with my chief,
(20:04):
the vice president of Fulso Ghosts, Whichmid's luxury markets, it
worked himself up into quite a nasty.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Frame of mind. I didn't blame him.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
After abaly doing the most of the day with nothing
to keep in company but the worst hangover of the century.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Where is she? That's what I want to know. I
brought you some beer, gus give it to me. Let's
tell me where she is. And this is the man
that's lay I got.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
This couple is where they hang out? Know they don't
I mean know it is? Give me that.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Don't you want to open it first?
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Around here?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Oh? There will be, don't you Fred? After all, we've
got plenty of sandwiches and beer. We're just going to
have to make ourselves comfortable. And wait, since we're about it,
I noticed that I just happened to have some praying
cards in my pocket.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Would you gentlemen care to join.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Me in a slight game of canasty? It was a
long wait, That's what I wanted. That's where I brought
the provisions in the sleeping days. It was my plan
to run off the ransom money and that needed time. Meanwhile,
a nice steady profit was coming in from the canaster.
That's fifteen hundred more I owe you by to fuck
o man. Yeah, I'm sorry, I can't give you another check.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I run out of checks.
Speaker 10 (21:05):
Well, if I don't hear something from that bandit by morning.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Something, so man, be reasonable. What can we do? But wait,
look a red three. This can't go on forever, Harry,
not if you've run out of checks. I mean, I
suppose he's killed you or don't worry. They never do that.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Well what do they do?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Harry? Why don't you answer? I'll fellas I I just
don't know what to say. Remember these bandits as savages.
They stop at nothing that o't figure up another canaster.
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
I'll go into Catanya and try to make some connections
with a math here. Maybe maybe if we send a
little more money. I tell you I haven't any more checks,
or you have got some more money, old man, lots
of it now I think of it.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
It just happens.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
I have some blank checks here and I pocket make
out another for ten thousand. I'll see what I can do,
all right, All right, don't give.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Me that thousand?
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Family at ten thousand plus fifteen hundred for the last canastic?
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Okay, what's wrong?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
That's just there's a man over there where in the shack.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
Where yeah here, I am sing your line because he's
got to. I'm so have I stick him up.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
You telling no, no, you.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Don't gus, not with that.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
You don't choose to try to shoot it out with you.
That is not bad Zini his way.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
But you're the band, that's right, because he's the man
that I'll put that gun away like that.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
You're done right, I'll put it away.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
I'll throw it away.
Speaker 10 (22:16):
You don't look much like a manner to me, mister.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
Let's see how you like this?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Good Emily does one you've done to it. He's sacked
him in the kisser, that's what he's under. Couldn't work,
my boy, Oh, there was nothing really.
Speaker 9 (22:29):
Fredo Alfredo speak to the Alfredo.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
You hear that she calls him Alfredo?
Speaker 9 (22:34):
Of course I do.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
That's his name. That's all I can say.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
What about hickeloocas a silly neighbor, A silly band, A
silly bandit, that's what I said, A silly band, I know.
But there's no reason to hurt any Well, how could
he be abandoned without a gunn You don't think he's
shooting body with it, do you?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
But he was holding it a roundom nonsense.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
He just wanted somebody to play his guitar to or
Alfredo speak to the Alfredo will turn to the herd speak.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
I think I would just live here, Emily. I put
it up you su early here and now, Emily, you're
going to have to choose between us.
Speaker 9 (23:03):
What do you mean choose?
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Is that man or me?
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Emily?
Speaker 9 (23:07):
Now you're being silly, Emily.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
I think Gus has a right to know your intention intentions.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
I intend to get married, that's my intention, and as
soon as possible, be cool here, Alfredo.
Speaker 9 (23:16):
Just let me put this under your head. Then you'll
be more comfany. Oh, Gus, you are an idiot, aren't you?
But at least you don't slow of garlic and decides.
I've always loved you, g Emily, Gus.

All I want to know is, hey, Lime, where's he
gone to?
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Harry?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Oh, Harry, he seems to be running away.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
He'd better not slow up, Lucky.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
The banks are closed. Come on, we've got to get
into town and stop paying on some checks.
Speaker 9 (23:41):
May you just lie there, Alfredo, You'll be all right now.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I've just wanted to ask you something.

will you ask pretty Grea able to send me a peach.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Harry Lin returns in just a moment, and.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
So much for that little flutter in banditry and romance.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
In some days I had nice fat checks from Guts
Emily and mister hicken Up. But a check is not
used unless you can talk a bank into giving you money.
I couldn't stop to talk. Could have dropped me a
