Presenting Arson Wells as the third Man the lives of
Harry Lyon, the fabulous stories of the immortal character originally
created in the motion picture The Third Man with Zilla
(00:33):
music by Anton Carroll.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
She's beautiful, beautiful, tray tray friends she could have been,
And for a while I almost kidded myself. She was
the great romance of my life. The Shakespeare has already said,
once Dames's poison, likewise dolls, and believe me, the honey
on those soft red lips of hers was laced with
pure honor, the alterated strictness.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
And now orsome Welles as Harry Lyme the third Man
in today's story, The Double Double Crust.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Made Callo nineteen thirty six. The soccer season was at
its peak, and by an odd coincidence, my pockets were
full of it, and they'd been for a long time. Yes,
life was looking pretty good, but even with that, not
half so good as the liquor. As eyed Brunette I
found sitting next to me at the casino one night.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Bet Bojo begs you will playing.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
You oof?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
That was me, I drew in my winning Lady Luck
was shut smiling on me, just as she was frowning
on me. This girl beside me, this girl decked half
a dozen loses her more in a row, and now
I last just were gone. She was something in her handbag.
Here was chivalrous, Harry's big chance. I asked the life
if there's anything I could do to help?
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Thank you, monsieur.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
You are very kind, But that's I think I'm played,
my chico.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
I'm praid I should have to give up for tonight.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Oh you can't quit when you're so much down nonsense.
You had take this second chip.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
But monsieur, you know, monsieur, I won't dream this.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
I'm not gonna take strangers alone.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
If I lose again, I may not be able to retain.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
A chance that please take it.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
Excuse certainly, do thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
That's a lot on twenty one.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Sure, but is that too.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
To a successful gambler? And the word pruding doesn't exist?
And you've got a hunch play it.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
From his time, and you have a hunch about twenty one?
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Yeah, I have Yeah, I mean your hands, I do
what you say, good face, you plane, you old?
Speaker 5 (03:37):
I have won.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
I tell you you think I am.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
What shall I choose?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Let's seventeen, all right, seventy. That's how I met Louise.
By eleven o'clock we were both good winners and good friends,
and decided to call it a night and strolled out
into the scene of God and then after a while
down at the seafront. It's one of those clear blue
(04:03):
summer evenings a poet to write sounds about into my amazement,
I found myself getting.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Kind of sentimental.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Tell me about yourself.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Oh, that's not a great deal to tell, or you
are too modest to think of a few people would
laugh heartily.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
To hear that.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
We'll bring you to Monticallo business or pleasure a little.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Of each figure?
Speaker 6 (04:20):
What is your business?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
A collector?
Speaker 6 (04:22):
What you collect?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
The object?
Speaker 6 (04:24):
How interesting of any particular sign?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Anything? It appeals to my sense of beauty?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Do you often make a sign?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Sometimes tonight? For instance?
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (04:33):
That is a very nice compliment, a.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Little corny, but it has the rare virtue of being
sincere about yourself? Though? Is you live here modest? No?
Speaker 5 (04:41):
I am on holiday.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I come from that and I've guessed it. What's that? Mary?
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Is that important?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
That could be?
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I have a husband's customary for a woman to sound
a little more enthusiastic when she says that.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
I would rather not talk about him if she doesn't mind,
you know, it's like sundays.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Yes, there's a Greeves coming in from the sea.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I must to my hotel soon.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
I'm very tired.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Oh, I'm sorry I've kept you out too long? Which
way from here?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Please? You must not talk about yourself.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I'll be all right to know long as you can
walk out of my life like that.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
You this would be more impudent.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I've already told you there's no such word. Let's go.
I'm not the sort of guy I won't take a chance.
But usually if there's one thing I kept care of,
it's jealous of the business. Yeah, tonight, somehow it's different,
I said, I set of reckless. It's that's a fueling
(05:33):
really as well. Maybe it's the moonlight. I don't know. Anyway,
Almost before i'd realized that we were at the door,
who was sweet and she opened?
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Would you like to come in for just wondering? You know,
perhaps it would be better not good night, Harry?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Oh well, Uh, why am I gonna see you again?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
I think perhaps I would returned to Paris tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Why it would be wide.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Oh no, you mustn't.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
But I you can't just find we can't. You mustn't
go away like this? But a Louise, you're crying.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
It's nothing, nothing at all.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I guess I will have that drink after all.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
No, Harry, pleasing?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
You did ask me? You know after you.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
You will find the guys in that box? What would
you like something?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I don't care. Listen, Louise, you and I got to
talk this thing out, so there's nothing to be sat.
You realize what's happened, don't you?
Speaker 5 (06:22):
When you were open this bot?
Speaker 6 (06:23):
We please? Sure, poor if you please here the glasses?
What has happened?
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Henry?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
You know let's be falling in love? No?
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Yes, but it is impossible. Why we're strangers three hours ago?
Speaker 5 (06:39):
We've never spoken to me.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Not can happen in three hours?
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Even now we know nothing of each other, nothing whatever
beyond that chust your name.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It's again and the common sense. I don't agree with love.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
It's absurd.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
You don't believe that. Look at me, Louise. You don't
believe it's absurd. You know it's true.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
You do know, don't you?
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I love it?
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Who is hold me tight?
Speaker 6 (07:05):
It's also strange, so wonderful.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
What is this milk gonna happened?
Speaker 4 (07:10):
It's pretty pictureous?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Are you so give me a branker?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
He's got a nerves thinging like this.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Indeed, you know the Galloway is, Oh, yes, she knows
me quite well. Tell him who I am, Louise he is?
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Go on, do not keep the gentleman in suspense. Here's
my husband, all right.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Didn't tell me he was here in Monday.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
A regrettable oversight.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I'm sure.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I have no doubt the gentleman is sorry too. The
point is what need to be done about it?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Or naturally I apologize. It's very generous of you, and
I assure you your wife's all together brainless in this
little affair.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
I'm just so gad.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Now, if you'll excuse me, you're not so fastinature.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
There is much to be said yet. Oh but for instance,
just may be just a passing incident to you.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
But there's not a care for you.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
That you have ruined my whole life.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
And I'll get you.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
You make love to my wife all this till.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Now.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
You kill my tustiness.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
You just try the whole public about that.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
If you are gentlemen. The least you could do would
be too offer some compensation for the harm you have done?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
What kind of conversation?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Let us say, two hundred thousand francs?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Sure you, I'm very much in honest.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
You seem to forget one thing, That is, you just
storry what to get out.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
It would create an unpleasant stand that you would not
wish that, and sure.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I think a black man is that? Well it's what
you wish. Okay, go ahead. You might find it hard
to prove of. Louise and I both deny it.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Have a two years is it ay too full test?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And she would not.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Deny it, would you?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
My dear? Did kiss me?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (08:45):
I did so.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Now we know exactly where we stand. I'm surprised that
an apparently smart pair like you do I do. It's
a neat little wreck. And I just said place as
well as most. But you just pick your marks a
little more care.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
You know now you're Entendi forty?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Is that possible? Relaxed both of you. That time you'll
learn nice surname. Anyways, it's lime, not lying, not very
and the first much way.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
It's just too up.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
You must forgive.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
You picked him out, as you know, But how was
I to know he has about him such an ails.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
It's nice day.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I find it helps with the sucker.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
A million apologies my friend, and so many too. Okay,
and to think that you are the famous Horry Line.
It is a day case honor to meet you here.
This is a big occasional. We must rink to celebrate
it a toss you.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
No, no, no, let's let's both stick to Louise, to
me the greatest actress in your Frankly, I was having
more completely full in my life.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Well to Louise that is, tell me that's your.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
Regular racks all merely what you might call a seasonal side.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
It helps to pay off summer expenses.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Oh well, what's your special bait?
Speaker 6 (10:05):
We are interneted in anything that Tomas is a profit.
In point effect, me say, if you happened to be
free at the moment it delays to me we may.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
Be able to do business together. I have recently had
a proposition, but it is not an undertaking for a woman.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
It needs two men.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
As you know, American dollars are easy to obtain on
the continent and very difficult in Engurnes. There is a
strong demand for them in London, and the big profit
for anyone who can smuggle.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
The me just the master.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
The English customs are difficult, but it can be done.
You see, among my other accomplishments.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
I am a qualified pilot.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Now here's the proposal.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
A certain gentleman in London is prepared to advance money
for me to buy dollars.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Here at a date and time to be arranged.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
This gentleman will wait in a car at a place
called ill Fight Moor in Devon.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
A plane will fly overhead.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
A passenger will pass without his pockets and to touch
a case filled the dollar, he will be met by
the gentleman, who will collect the money and drive into London,
and from there it can make.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
It be back at leisure to France.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
But what do you think?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
It's not sure, it's a honey of an idea, But
that's what.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
That's what.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Presumably I'm the guy who was supposed to flow through
the air with the greatest direse.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Exactly, that's not so good at all.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
But I prefer my neck the way it is unbroken.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
It is tday is an element of danger, but it
is very slight. Surely it's a small need to take
for a thousand.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Pounds A thousand pounds, he said that that's much a
thousand pounds.
Speaker 7 (11:32):
Oh yes, and what is more, if the sis thing
just succeeds, there was almost certainly.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
The other that's different, then it is a bargain. Okay.
When we start.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
In a moment, Austin Wells returns as Harry the third
Man and now Asen Wells as Harry Lyme the third
(12:53):
Man continues in today's story, the Double Double Cross.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Well We all went to Paris next day and Pierre
got busy organizing his end of the business. About a
week later we drove to a little place outside Schuburg
where Pere had a two seater plane house in a
converted barn, and next morning we took off. We crossed
the English coast and they talk to pe Are handled
me a number of bundles carefully raptide and seal, and
I filled my pockets and stuff the overflow into a
small leather case. I'd just done checking my parachute when.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Pierre called to me, DC you for no now, are
you lady? All right?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
I guess so, there's no need to be nervous.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
That's all right for you I'm the guy who's gonna
make the jump. Think of the thousand pounds. I am hard.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
All you have to do is to.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Come pride and then pull the l cord. It's quite dupressure. Sure,
nothing to us, all right now?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I took a deep breath jump.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
One, two, three.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Or five. The funny part is he was right. He
was quite simple, So that was kind of fun floating
around the sky, seeing the earth bift up gradually to
meet him. As I landed and slipped off my heart,
a couple of guys stepped forward from the Honey Comfort books.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Are you from Pierre? That's right, I'm Robert Brand. This
is my assistant, Kitty Novo.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
You drop the stuff. You don't figure I made that
jump for the fun of it.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Do you the stuff? Sure it over and I'll take
it in the car. Gather up this fetishill jitty. We'll
get good.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Just didn't take me two minutes to find out this
Brand was tough, the English gentleman type, but hard as iron.
Pierre might have warned me out. His assistant drove us
towards London. He and I sat in the back of
(14:50):
the car and I handed in each your packet, checked
the seals and then opened the caffey, counted every note.
Took an hour or morning and we'd finished. Well, that's
it having an order Instagram. Yes, not exactly the trustful side.
I know. I'm glad Pierre doesn't try to short change here,
so you should be, Misterlive now that I don't take
(15:11):
kindly the best old a colder who once delivered a
package of diamonds to me was foolish enough to replace
several of the best.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Stones with space limitation.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
No what happened to him?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
No one seems to know.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
He just disappeared. Yes, surely, if Pierre were a way
and light, you couldn't very well hold nearest part.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I could and would and will. Mister Live, is such
a thing ever happened? And I think that's kind of unreasonable,
old man.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
No, but then I'm an unreasonable man.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
It's always the next pub jet. It's time you had lunch.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Back in Paris. A couple of days later, I told
Pierre about amiable little conversation in the DR.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I would not take too much notice of lug what.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
You want to sort of think a guy does take
all this out. He's why people like to talk that maybe,
but this one wasn't kidding.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
In any case, what.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Is it I have to worry about?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Why wouldn't I worry. I'm gonna make one mistake and
I'm for it over.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I do not make mistakes.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
If you don't want to have a look for a
new parachutist, you better not. And it's all. In the
next three months I made two more parachute jumps, and
each time I had the doubtful pleasure of the company
of mister brand On the way back to London, I
can't say I warned to him as I got to
know him better. Meanwhile, in parents things are becoming a
little complicated. Louison I was seeing a lot of each other,
(16:29):
and certainly I realized she really was carrying a torch
for me. No kidding, vice a versa.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Well, I mean, what do I do?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
How to be the act of a gentleman nor a
thing like pet would he?
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Well?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Not to make a long story of it. Pierre went
out one night on some kind of business and there
we were alone the week.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
Hi, do you remember that night we met?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Sure?
Speaker 6 (16:53):
I think a bit often it could have been a
wonderful nights.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
To start it out full of promise, you gave a
swell performance. A lease?
Speaker 5 (17:02):
Do you still think I was only acting?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Well? Well, weren't you.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
From the moment you first spoke to me at the table,
I knew this was going to be difficult. It was
such a warmth between us, such a natural sympathy. We
were so much I should I put it so much
on Apple? You must have sent it yourself.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Ah, maybe I did a little, only a little, whoa
quite a lot.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
I knew what I had to do, and I hated
myself for doing it.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Even when we learned who you were. I hated having
to pretend that what had happened between us meant nothing
to me.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
I shall never forget that moment when you took me
in your.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Arms and we kissed in other ways? If we were wise?
What changed this conversation? So it's sweet?
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Do you want to be wise?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Eh? No, not to take you? But what what about Pierre?
Speaker 6 (17:52):
I care less than nothing for kier As your husband?
Hate you were loved, you were alone?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
You shouldn't.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (18:00):
It's too I'm proud to say yes.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
And you love me too, don't you?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Louise? You know you too.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Let's go away heavy now tonight? Think of a wonderful life.
We could have you and I together.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
She was lovelier than ever a half life, and black
eyes were soft and tender, lips warm and red and inviting.
I've been superman. I couldn't help myself. Right then I
took her in my arms. And then from the corner
of my eye I saw a movement beyond the French door,
as there was someone out on the balcony, listening and watching.
(18:39):
I'm not a suspicious guy, but something told me it's Pierre.
I could almost to see him reaching for his knife,
and just thinking, I quick I like auis go and
turned away from him. Hi, what is it, Louise. Wait,
we just can't do this, Louise. It wouldn't be fair
to Pierre.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Fair to Pierre.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Here is my friend, here's a good guy. And after all,
there's such a thing, Louise as common decency.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
Also there is such a thing as love.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
That's just if Louise, if ever I've given you the
wrong impression, I apologize.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
I do not understand you.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Of course I always have, Louise, but that's for anything
more than that. You're trying to tell me, trying to
tell you as nicely as possible that I don't love you.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I don't love you.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
I see I'm sorry that.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
There it is, and so you should be sorry leading
me on the way you have.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I've never said one word, world, what do words matters?
Speaker 6 (19:31):
You've totally a thousand times in a tone of your
voice and looks in your touch.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
That's not so, that's not so at all. Alwis you
misrepresented my manner? Whatso?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
What a fool?
Speaker 5 (19:40):
I believe you, and all the time you were just amusing.
You will be sorry for this time.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
I do not forget one day you were like I
never haven't met me.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Louise, the guy who first said that about hell having
no flory like a woman's score, knew what he was
talking about. If I'd been wise, I got out from
und the right stand. But in the next couple of
days so all Louise kept out of side care Saint
(20:07):
even more friendly than usual. So it wouldn't he act
overhearing such a noble renunciation anyway, I was finally decided
me to stick around, though I was we're all set
for another Missiondaleford more and was idly to indrag a
chance of a thousand pounds. Maybe I wasn't into anxious
if I could have overheard a conversation that I now
know what's going on in Scotland yard in London.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Well, what do you make of it?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Host Mark Paris scented stationery obviously a woman's handwriting, yes.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
But the contents very interesting.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I must have missed. But the point is, do you
think what she says is true?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
I couldn't said, but still worth investigating. Don't you think
even if nothing comes of it at all, it should.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Make a very pleasant days.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
I've seen.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Louise usually tamers to share that for obvious reasons. She
didn't this time. I was just as glad. We flew
over the channel towards Enid and I had quite a
lot of heavy thanking, and by the time we'd hit
the coast I made up my mind. Uh, Pierre, I
think you ought to know.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
This is my last trip. Let's change Hi. I had
a feeling it might be Hi. I think I'll stake
in London a while. I'm tired of Paris. You've been
a very close friend, Harry. We shall miss you.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Louise and I we're.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Bound to me some time in the future.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
I wonder does Louise know about you?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
No?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I just made up my mind. Oh man, I've just
made up my mind.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I see.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Have you any message for her? No, I don't think so,
nothing special haven. I will just say you send your
loud my love. Oh sure you will.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Hm.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
We must be over Ilfred more by now an wait
there it is just a head. You have all the stuff. Yeah,
you've checked your parachute. Yea all, I stand by. Here
we are now. It might have got to miss the brand.
Oh sure, sure. I hope you had a pleasant trip
to London with him, and for your own sakes, I
(22:02):
hope I have not made.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
A mistake for one and short changed Ala.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Hey, hey, wait a minute.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
It was too late. I'd been on the brink, and
as I spoke, Pierre lunched forward and shoved me in
the chest, and I stopped backward into space. I could
see that he was smiling, and it wasn't a friendly smile.
Ye I seen dollars while I floated down. Why should
I have any special reason for wanting to land? I
knew by no exactly what I'd been waiting for me
(22:38):
my feet touched hers at last, the bad landing, I
skid it and rolled over, and by the time I
freed myself. There were two guys standing over me, and
he says that I said to myself and I looked up.
I weren't Brad and his assistant at all, but two
fellas I've never seen mister Harry Lime. Yes, wilfrom Scotland yard.
(23:00):
Oh oh, how do you do? You're kind of off
your beat, aren't you.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
We would advise that you might choose this rather unconventional
way as any meaning advice. You may a letter from
a young lady in Paris. At least the writing suggests
that she's young, and the perfume suggests that she's a
lady Sather.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
No wel, so my wife don''t get her a sellout.
Speaker 9 (23:23):
She seemed to be under the impression that you may
be carrying a rather large sum of money with you
in American.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Dollars, and I wonder what could have given her that idea.
You don't mind if we set you, I hope, and
what happens if I do mine? So I'm afraid we
shall have to insist. Okay, go ahead, I'll take a briefcase.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
You attend to missus Lyon's pockets. Certainly I must say
you have a few packages here and a certain eatly
tied and sealed, seems to a mister Pitties. Oh smatter,
this seems rather a lot of trouble to have taken
for a water brown paper? So what from paper, mister lymon?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Look at it?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Yes, a look at this and this.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
In fact, it's all Brian papers. I got it at once, Louise.
It's spilled the beans to Scotland Yard an anonymous letter
and he had dummied the packets, knowing what brand would
do to me, the double double cross. Only what they
didn't know was it between them. They'd canceled the whole
thing out and saved my bacon. Funny is it you
(24:31):
have the advantage of us, mister lymon? Oh?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
How's that?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
We don't quite see the joke now, and I guess
you never will. What happened now? Oh? Just a few formalities?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Can I see?
Speaker 4 (24:41):
You're possible?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Certainly? Oh, man said man. It's is glad to b.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Well this seems to be in order.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
That's fine you chentleman have to be driving back to London, yes,
and then you give me a lift O.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
It's pleasure. Well, come along, let goes, shall we harry?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Lime returns in just a moment.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
And now very lime.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
You know, I still find myself thinking sometimes as Louise,
a dark black eye, a kissable mouth. I wonder if
I'll ever see her again. If I do, I'll run
a mile with you again, soon to tell you another
of my adventures. Meanwhile, I don't forget the old saying,
(26:30):
all fair in love and war. But war is a
lot less dangerous thing.

Presenting Arson Wells as the third Man the lives of
Harry Lyon, the fabulous stories of the immortal character originally
created in the motion picture The Third Man with Zilla
(00:33):
music by Anton Carroll.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
She's beautiful, beautiful, tray tray friends she could have been,
And for a while I almost kidded myself. She was
the great romance of my life. The Shakespeare has already said,
once Dames's poison, likewise dolls, and believe me, the honey
on those soft red lips of hers was laced with
pure honor, the alterated strictness.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
And now orsome Welles as Harry Lyme the third Man
in today's story, The Double Double Crust.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Made Callo nineteen thirty six. The soccer season was at
its peak, and by an odd coincidence, my pockets were
full of it, and they'd been for a long time. Yes,
life was looking pretty good, but even with that, not
half so good as the liquor. As eyed Brunette I
found sitting next to me at the casino one night.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Bet Bojo begs you will playing.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
You oof?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
That was me, I drew in my winning Lady Luck
was shut smiling on me, just as she was frowning
on me. This girl beside me, this girl decked half
a dozen loses her more in a row, and now
I last just were gone. She was something in her handbag.
Here was chivalrous, Harry's big chance. I asked the life
if there's anything I could do to help?
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Thank you, monsieur.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
You are very kind, But that's I think I'm played,
my chico.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
I'm praid I should have to give up for tonight.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Oh you can't quit when you're so much down nonsense.
You had take this second chip.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
But monsieur, you know, monsieur, I won't dream this.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
I'm not gonna take strangers alone.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
If I lose again, I may not be able to retain.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
A chance that please take it.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
Excuse certainly, do thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
That's a lot on twenty one.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Sure, but is that too.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
To a successful gambler? And the word pruding doesn't exist?
And you've got a hunch play it.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
From his time, and you have a hunch about twenty one?
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Yeah, I have Yeah, I mean your hands, I do
what you say, good face, you plane, you old?
Speaker 5 (03:37):
I have won.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
I tell you you think I am.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
What shall I choose?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Let's seventeen, all right, seventy. That's how I met Louise.
By eleven o'clock we were both good winners and good friends,
and decided to call it a night and strolled out
into the scene of God and then after a while
down at the seafront. It's one of those clear blue
(04:03):
summer evenings a poet to write sounds about into my amazement,
I found myself getting.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Kind of sentimental.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Tell me about yourself.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Oh, that's not a great deal to tell, or you
are too modest to think of a few people would
laugh heartily.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
To hear that.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
We'll bring you to Monticallo business or pleasure a little.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Of each figure?
Speaker 6 (04:20):
What is your business?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
A collector?
Speaker 6 (04:22):
What you collect?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
The object?
Speaker 6 (04:24):
How interesting of any particular sign?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Anything? It appeals to my sense of beauty?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Do you often make a sign?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Sometimes tonight? For instance?
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (04:33):
That is a very nice compliment, a.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Little corny, but it has the rare virtue of being
sincere about yourself? Though? Is you live here modest? No?
Speaker 5 (04:41):
I am on holiday.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I come from that and I've guessed it. What's that? Mary?
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Is that important?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
That could be?
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I have a husband's customary for a woman to sound
a little more enthusiastic when she says that.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
I would rather not talk about him if she doesn't mind,
you know, it's like sundays.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Yes, there's a Greeves coming in from the sea.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I must to my hotel soon.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
I'm very tired.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Oh, I'm sorry I've kept you out too long? Which
way from here?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Please? You must not talk about yourself.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I'll be all right to know long as you can
walk out of my life like that.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
You this would be more impudent.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I've already told you there's no such word. Let's go.
I'm not the sort of guy I won't take a chance.
But usually if there's one thing I kept care of,
it's jealous of the business. Yeah, tonight, somehow it's different,
I said, I set of reckless. It's that's a fueling
(05:33):
really as well. Maybe it's the moonlight. I don't know. Anyway,
Almost before i'd realized that we were at the door,
who was sweet and she opened?
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Would you like to come in for just wondering? You know,
perhaps it would be better not good night, Harry?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Oh well, Uh, why am I gonna see you again?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
I think perhaps I would returned to Paris tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Why it would be wide.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Oh no, you mustn't.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
But I you can't just find we can't. You mustn't
go away like this? But a Louise, you're crying.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
It's nothing, nothing at all.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I guess I will have that drink after all.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
No, Harry, pleasing?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
You did ask me? You know after you.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
You will find the guys in that box? What would
you like something?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I don't care. Listen, Louise, you and I got to
talk this thing out, so there's nothing to be sat.
You realize what's happened, don't you?
Speaker 5 (06:22):
When you were open this bot?
Speaker 6 (06:23):
We please? Sure, poor if you please here the glasses?
What has happened?
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Henry?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
You know let's be falling in love? No?
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Yes, but it is impossible. Why we're strangers three hours ago?
Speaker 5 (06:39):
We've never spoken to me.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Not can happen in three hours?
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Even now we know nothing of each other, nothing whatever
beyond that chust your name.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It's again and the common sense. I don't agree with love.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
It's absurd.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
You don't believe that. Look at me, Louise. You don't
believe it's absurd. You know it's true.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
You do know, don't you?
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I love it?
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Who is hold me tight?
Speaker 6 (07:05):
It's also strange, so wonderful.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
What is this milk gonna happened?
Speaker 4 (07:10):
It's pretty pictureous?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Are you so give me a branker?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
He's got a nerves thinging like this.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Indeed, you know the Galloway is, Oh, yes, she knows
me quite well. Tell him who I am, Louise he is?
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Go on, do not keep the gentleman in suspense. Here's
my husband, all right.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Didn't tell me he was here in Monday.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
A regrettable oversight.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I'm sure.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I have no doubt the gentleman is sorry too. The
point is what need to be done about it?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Or naturally I apologize. It's very generous of you, and
I assure you your wife's all together brainless in this
little affair.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
I'm just so gad.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Now, if you'll excuse me, you're not so fastinature.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
There is much to be said yet. Oh but for instance,
just may be just a passing incident to you.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
But there's not a care for you.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
That you have ruined my whole life.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
And I'll get you.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
You make love to my wife all this till.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Now.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
You kill my tustiness.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
You just try the whole public about that.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
If you are gentlemen. The least you could do would
be too offer some compensation for the harm you have done?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
What kind of conversation?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Let us say, two hundred thousand francs?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Sure you, I'm very much in honest.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
You seem to forget one thing, That is, you just
storry what to get out.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
It would create an unpleasant stand that you would not
wish that, and sure.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I think a black man is that? Well it's what
you wish. Okay, go ahead. You might find it hard
to prove of. Louise and I both deny it.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Have a two years is it ay too full test?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And she would not.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Deny it, would you?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
My dear? Did kiss me?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (08:45):
I did so.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Now we know exactly where we stand. I'm surprised that
an apparently smart pair like you do I do. It's
a neat little wreck. And I just said place as
well as most. But you just pick your marks a
little more care.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
You know now you're Entendi forty?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Is that possible? Relaxed both of you. That time you'll
learn nice surname. Anyways, it's lime, not lying, not very
and the first much way.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
It's just too up.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
You must forgive.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
You picked him out, as you know, But how was
I to know he has about him such an ails.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
It's nice day.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I find it helps with the sucker.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
A million apologies my friend, and so many too. Okay,
and to think that you are the famous Horry Line.
It is a day case honor to meet you here.
This is a big occasional. We must rink to celebrate
it a toss you.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
No, no, no, let's let's both stick to Louise, to
me the greatest actress in your Frankly, I was having
more completely full in my life.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Well to Louise that is, tell me that's your.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
Regular racks all merely what you might call a seasonal side.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
It helps to pay off summer expenses.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Oh well, what's your special bait?
Speaker 6 (10:05):
We are interneted in anything that Tomas is a profit.
In point effect, me say, if you happened to be
free at the moment it delays to me we may.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
Be able to do business together. I have recently had
a proposition, but it is not an undertaking for a woman.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
It needs two men.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
As you know, American dollars are easy to obtain on
the continent and very difficult in Engurnes. There is a
strong demand for them in London, and the big profit
for anyone who can smuggle.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
The me just the master.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
The English customs are difficult, but it can be done.
You see, among my other accomplishments.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
I am a qualified pilot.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Now here's the proposal.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
A certain gentleman in London is prepared to advance money
for me to buy dollars.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Here at a date and time to be arranged.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
This gentleman will wait in a car at a place
called ill Fight Moor in Devon.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
A plane will fly overhead.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
A passenger will pass without his pockets and to touch
a case filled the dollar, he will be met by
the gentleman, who will collect the money and drive into London,
and from there it can make.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
It be back at leisure to France.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
But what do you think?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
It's not sure, it's a honey of an idea, But
that's what.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
That's what.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Presumably I'm the guy who was supposed to flow through
the air with the greatest direse.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Exactly, that's not so good at all.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
But I prefer my neck the way it is unbroken.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
It is tday is an element of danger, but it
is very slight. Surely it's a small need to take
for a thousand.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Pounds A thousand pounds, he said that that's much a
thousand pounds.
Speaker 7 (11:32):
Oh yes, and what is more, if the sis thing
just succeeds, there was almost certainly.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
The other that's different, then it is a bargain. Okay.
When we start.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
In a moment, Austin Wells returns as Harry the third
Man and now Asen Wells as Harry Lyme the third
(12:53):
Man continues in today's story, the Double Double Cross.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Well We all went to Paris next day and Pierre
got busy organizing his end of the business. About a
week later we drove to a little place outside Schuburg
where Pere had a two seater plane house in a
converted barn, and next morning we took off. We crossed
the English coast and they talk to pe Are handled
me a number of bundles carefully raptide and seal, and
I filled my pockets and stuff the overflow into a
small leather case. I'd just done checking my parachute when.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Pierre called to me, DC you for no now, are
you lady? All right?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
I guess so, there's no need to be nervous.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
That's all right for you I'm the guy who's gonna
make the jump. Think of the thousand pounds. I am hard.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
All you have to do is to.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Come pride and then pull the l cord. It's quite dupressure. Sure,
nothing to us, all right now?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I took a deep breath jump.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
One, two, three.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Or five. The funny part is he was right. He
was quite simple, So that was kind of fun floating
around the sky, seeing the earth bift up gradually to
meet him. As I landed and slipped off my heart,
a couple of guys stepped forward from the Honey Comfort books.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Are you from Pierre? That's right, I'm Robert Brand. This
is my assistant, Kitty Novo.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
You drop the stuff. You don't figure I made that
jump for the fun of it.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Do you the stuff? Sure it over and I'll take
it in the car. Gather up this fetishill jitty. We'll
get good.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Just didn't take me two minutes to find out this
Brand was tough, the English gentleman type, but hard as iron.
Pierre might have warned me out. His assistant drove us
towards London. He and I sat in the back of
(14:50):
the car and I handed in each your packet, checked
the seals and then opened the caffey, counted every note.
Took an hour or morning and we'd finished. Well, that's
it having an order Instagram. Yes, not exactly the trustful side.
I know. I'm glad Pierre doesn't try to short change here,
so you should be, Misterlive now that I don't take
(15:11):
kindly the best old a colder who once delivered a
package of diamonds to me was foolish enough to replace
several of the best.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Stones with space limitation.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
No what happened to him?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
No one seems to know.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
He just disappeared. Yes, surely, if Pierre were a way
and light, you couldn't very well hold nearest part.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I could and would and will. Mister Live, is such
a thing ever happened? And I think that's kind of unreasonable,
old man.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
No, but then I'm an unreasonable man.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
It's always the next pub jet. It's time you had lunch.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Back in Paris. A couple of days later, I told
Pierre about amiable little conversation in the DR.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I would not take too much notice of lug what.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
You want to sort of think a guy does take
all this out. He's why people like to talk that maybe,
but this one wasn't kidding.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
In any case, what.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Is it I have to worry about?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Why wouldn't I worry. I'm gonna make one mistake and
I'm for it over.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I do not make mistakes.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
If you don't want to have a look for a
new parachutist, you better not. And it's all. In the
next three months I made two more parachute jumps, and
each time I had the doubtful pleasure of the company
of mister brand On the way back to London, I
can't say I warned to him as I got to
know him better. Meanwhile, in parents things are becoming a
little complicated. Louison I was seeing a lot of each other,
(16:29):
and certainly I realized she really was carrying a torch
for me. No kidding, vice a versa.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Well, I mean, what do I do?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
How to be the act of a gentleman nor a
thing like pet would he?
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Well?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Not to make a long story of it. Pierre went
out one night on some kind of business and there
we were alone the week.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
Hi, do you remember that night we met?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Sure?
Speaker 6 (16:53):
I think a bit often it could have been a
wonderful nights.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
To start it out full of promise, you gave a
swell performance. A lease?
Speaker 5 (17:02):
Do you still think I was only acting?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Well? Well, weren't you.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
From the moment you first spoke to me at the table,
I knew this was going to be difficult. It was
such a warmth between us, such a natural sympathy. We
were so much I should I put it so much
on Apple? You must have sent it yourself.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Ah, maybe I did a little, only a little, whoa
quite a lot.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
I knew what I had to do, and I hated
myself for doing it.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Even when we learned who you were. I hated having
to pretend that what had happened between us meant nothing
to me.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
I shall never forget that moment when you took me
in your.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Arms and we kissed in other ways? If we were wise?
What changed this conversation? So it's sweet?
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Do you want to be wise?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Eh? No, not to take you? But what what about Pierre?
Speaker 6 (17:52):
I care less than nothing for kier As your husband?
Hate you were loved, you were alone?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
You shouldn't.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (18:00):
It's too I'm proud to say yes.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
And you love me too, don't you?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Louise? You know you too.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Let's go away heavy now tonight? Think of a wonderful life.
We could have you and I together.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
She was lovelier than ever a half life, and black
eyes were soft and tender, lips warm and red and inviting.
I've been superman. I couldn't help myself. Right then I
took her in my arms. And then from the corner
of my eye I saw a movement beyond the French door,
as there was someone out on the balcony, listening and watching.
(18:39):
I'm not a suspicious guy, but something told me it's Pierre.
I could almost to see him reaching for his knife,
and just thinking, I quick I like auis go and
turned away from him. Hi, what is it, Louise. Wait,
we just can't do this, Louise. It wouldn't be fair
to Pierre.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Fair to Pierre.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Here is my friend, here's a good guy. And after all,
there's such a thing, Louise as common decency.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
Also there is such a thing as love.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
That's just if Louise, if ever I've given you the
wrong impression, I apologize.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
I do not understand you.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Of course I always have, Louise, but that's for anything
more than that. You're trying to tell me, trying to
tell you as nicely as possible that I don't love you.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I don't love you.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
I see I'm sorry that.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
There it is, and so you should be sorry leading
me on the way you have.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I've never said one word, world, what do words matters?
Speaker 6 (19:31):
You've totally a thousand times in a tone of your
voice and looks in your touch.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
That's not so, that's not so at all. Alwis you
misrepresented my manner? Whatso?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
What a fool?
Speaker 5 (19:40):
I believe you, and all the time you were just amusing.
You will be sorry for this time.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
I do not forget one day you were like I
never haven't met me.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Louise, the guy who first said that about hell having
no flory like a woman's score, knew what he was
talking about. If I'd been wise, I got out from
und the right stand. But in the next couple of
days so all Louise kept out of side care Saint
(20:07):
even more friendly than usual. So it wouldn't he act
overhearing such a noble renunciation anyway, I was finally decided
me to stick around, though I was we're all set
for another Missiondaleford more and was idly to indrag a
chance of a thousand pounds. Maybe I wasn't into anxious
if I could have overheard a conversation that I now
know what's going on in Scotland yard in London.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Well, what do you make of it?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Host Mark Paris scented stationery obviously a woman's handwriting, yes.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
But the contents very interesting.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I must have missed. But the point is, do you
think what she says is true?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
I couldn't said, but still worth investigating. Don't you think
even if nothing comes of it at all, it should.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Make a very pleasant days.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
I've seen.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Louise usually tamers to share that for obvious reasons. She
didn't this time. I was just as glad. We flew
over the channel towards Enid and I had quite a
lot of heavy thanking, and by the time we'd hit
the coast I made up my mind. Uh, Pierre, I
think you ought to know.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
This is my last trip. Let's change Hi. I had
a feeling it might be Hi. I think I'll stake
in London a while. I'm tired of Paris. You've been
a very close friend, Harry. We shall miss you.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Louise and I we're.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Bound to me some time in the future.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
I wonder does Louise know about you?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
No?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I just made up my mind. Oh man, I've just
made up my mind.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I see.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Have you any message for her? No, I don't think so,
nothing special haven. I will just say you send your
loud my love. Oh sure you will.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Hm.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
We must be over Ilfred more by now an wait
there it is just a head. You have all the stuff. Yeah,
you've checked your parachute. Yea all, I stand by. Here
we are now. It might have got to miss the brand.
Oh sure, sure. I hope you had a pleasant trip
to London with him, and for your own sakes, I
(22:02):
hope I have not made.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
A mistake for one and short changed Ala.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Hey, hey, wait a minute.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
It was too late. I'd been on the brink, and
as I spoke, Pierre lunched forward and shoved me in
the chest, and I stopped backward into space. I could
see that he was smiling, and it wasn't a friendly smile.
Ye I seen dollars while I floated down. Why should
I have any special reason for wanting to land? I
knew by no exactly what I'd been waiting for me
(22:38):
my feet touched hers at last, the bad landing, I
skid it and rolled over, and by the time I
freed myself. There were two guys standing over me, and
he says that I said to myself and I looked up.
I weren't Brad and his assistant at all, but two
fellas I've never seen mister Harry Lime. Yes, wilfrom Scotland yard.
(23:00):
Oh oh, how do you do? You're kind of off
your beat, aren't you.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
We would advise that you might choose this rather unconventional
way as any meaning advice. You may a letter from
a young lady in Paris. At least the writing suggests
that she's young, and the perfume suggests that she's a
lady Sather.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
No wel, so my wife don''t get her a sellout.
Speaker 9 (23:23):
She seemed to be under the impression that you may
be carrying a rather large sum of money with you
in American.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Dollars, and I wonder what could have given her that idea.
You don't mind if we set you, I hope, and
what happens if I do mine? So I'm afraid we
shall have to insist. Okay, go ahead, I'll take a briefcase.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
You attend to missus Lyon's pockets. Certainly I must say
you have a few packages here and a certain eatly
tied and sealed, seems to a mister Pitties. Oh smatter,
this seems rather a lot of trouble to have taken
for a water brown paper? So what from paper, mister lymon?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Look at it?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Yes, a look at this and this.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
In fact, it's all Brian papers. I got it at once, Louise.
It's spilled the beans to Scotland Yard an anonymous letter
and he had dummied the packets, knowing what brand would
do to me, the double double cross. Only what they
didn't know was it between them. They'd canceled the whole
thing out and saved my bacon. Funny is it you
(24:31):
have the advantage of us, mister lymon? Oh?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
How's that?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
We don't quite see the joke now, and I guess
you never will. What happened now? Oh? Just a few formalities?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Can I see?
Speaker 4 (24:41):
You're possible?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Certainly? Oh, man said man. It's is glad to b.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Well this seems to be in order.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
That's fine you chentleman have to be driving back to London, yes,
and then you give me a lift O.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
It's pleasure. Well, come along, let goes, shall we harry?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Lime returns in just a moment.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
And now very lime.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
You know, I still find myself thinking sometimes as Louise,
a dark black eye, a kissable mouth. I wonder if
I'll ever see her again. If I do, I'll run
a mile with you again, soon to tell you another
of my adventures. Meanwhile, I don't forget the old saying,
(26:30):
all fair in love and war. But war is a
lot less dangerous thing.
