Kingfish Stephens got a job. He's been working for a
week now as a salesman in a local real estate office.
Today is payday, and as he returns home, he is
greeted by his wife's Siphi, Oh.

George, this is the greatest thrill of my life. You
bring it home up, pay envelope?
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Yeah, well, here it is. What is you gonna do
with it? George? I'm gonna celebrate.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I'm gonna take this envelope, go down to the beauty
parla and use us in it to make myself attractive.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
Well, now, wait a minute, hundred, there's only money in there,
not magic, you know.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Besides that, don't you go squandering that money. You better
hang on to this, George.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
What you hinting at? Is you in trouble on that
job already?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Well, I'm gonna tell you this is the bad time
of the year for selling real estate.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Jock.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I'm surprised you lasted this long, But fortis you never
put in a full day's work in your life.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Well, I wear a manute before you shoot off your mouth? There?
What about that job?
Speaker 5 (01:08):
I had at the Seaman Company. On my first day
down at that Seaman plan, I was there for twelve
long hours.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yes, and the reason was because you fell asleep in
some wet concrete and it took him that long to
ship you out.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Well, I got overtime, didn't it.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
George Stevens, you're dis great. You done had fifty five
jobs in the last two years, and you've been fired
off of every.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
One of them.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Yeah. Well, at least I ain't no quitter.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
The ain't no pue argan, George, I'm giving you ultimatum.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
What ultimatu?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
You better get busy on this real estate job for gals.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
I'm through with you.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Well, now you wear a minute, Honey.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I don't know how I ever married you, and I
think that twenty years ago I was fooling after throwing
myself at you.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, and to think I was fool enough not to
duck you. Oh, come in, King Fish hand say there's
a nasty rumor going around town that she was going
to work.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Well, that's where Hanan Hi was working, in the real
estate office.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Well, tell me, King Fish, did Sapphire force you to
go to work or did you take the job on
account of your own violation.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
At fifty fifty Henre.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
But at the rad I'm going, I don't think I
gonna keep the job much longer. I can't find no
good houses to sell.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well, you know, there was a couple of very nice
ones up there on the parkway. I believed the architecture
was one of French colonial and the other one was
late gorgeous Georgia. That's the trouble to see all them
houses too responsive. Uh, if I gonna sell something, I
gotta get them in.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
The cheaper brackets that we say.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Wait a minute, King Fish, I just remember the night
I might seen in the paper. The state has just
condemned the number of houses out in the country they
put in a new highway.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
The state doesn't condemn some houses on the highway.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yes, they ain't in too good shape, so the state
will give them to anybody that'll pay the cost of
moving them.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
The houses is free, you hunh.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
You know, if I could sell one of them to
and there and not tell him that he got to
move it, everything I make would be clear property.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yes, yes, Kingfish. But Andy might not want to make
the changeover from his room to a house though.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Yeah, if I could tell him that there's rooming house
has been sold.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Say wait a minute, say.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
You know the United Nations has been buying up a
lot of property in town. I'll just convinced Andy the
United Nations is moving uptown and he has got to
get out. Yes, well, good luck, Kingfish. I gotta go
now and stop by the furriers to get my wife
Clara's per coat out of the cold story.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Ooh you put it in cold stories. Huh.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yes, it keeps things from deteriorating and falling apart. I
have often wished I could put Clara in there for
a couple of months.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Hell, here's the hand is wrong. I hope this United
Nations stiff works.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Oh how is your cap it?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
And there is you still here? Well, come on, I'll
help you pack. You ain't got much time, son, What
is you talking about?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
And and you hed the pick news The United Nations
has done for this whole neighborhood. They's moving that whole
UN headquarters up here lock Stocking delegates. Yeah, well, when
did this happen?
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Or it was announced on the wireless this morning by
that famous English statesman Churchill.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Down it was.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
It was broadcast right from the steps of the British cremlin.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Oh, and uh, with people from all these nations moving
up here, there has given everybody forty eight hours to
move up forty eight hours. That's awful short notice, ain't it.
Well it didn't give me that much.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Me and South Fire come home from a picture show
last night and out two bulg Gearans sleeping in out bed.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Well, how is all this gonna effect me? I don't
wanna sleep with No Bulgarians.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Is gonna effect you? And that the four powers.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
There's dividing the whole area around here in four sections.
And I see the blueprint of the planet. It's gonna
be just like Berlin.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
And the boundary line for the whole thing is gonna
run right through.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Your room, it is huh. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
And by the time the UN gets so dividing up
your bathroom is gonna be behind the iron curtain.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Oh that's bad, you know. Yeah, Well it might be
a little inconvenient when you get up in the morning.
You might have to show your passport before you can
brush your teeth. Not only that, and but on account
of the Russian there's gonna have to fly your food
in here by airlift.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
You know, you gotta eat oh me, this is a mess.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
But look, King Fish, I still don't understand what this
UN needs so much room for. What is this UN
bunch trying to do? Anyway? Where do you and us
trying to establish world peace?
Speaker 5 (06:02):
That's what? What do you think they've been fighting in squabbling.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
For for the past four years? Peace and brotherly love?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Well, what about the Russians? Is they after peace? To
all the Russians is really after and they are so
determined to have peace that they is lablish you ten
or twenty million people just to get it and.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
The nutshell of the thing. And is you better move
out of this neighborhood? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I was really in bad in trouble, all right. The
only thing is if I got to get out of here,
I don't know where I could move to them.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Twenty things. You should mention that Andre uh, maybe I
can't help you, brother. And just so, what happens that
I being in the real estate business, Yeah, I just
got a piece for it that's for.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Sale, a nice six room house for only five hundred dollars.
Five hundred dollars. Listen all over the country they're selling
the houses for ten and fifteen thousand. How come I
guess one of such a cheap price. Of course you
ain't a veteran Andrew that helps.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Huh oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
According to the real estate boy, the word is that
give the cowards the breaks, that's what it. Well, I
can't go wrong for no five hundred dollars. I'll take
the thing and I'll go right down to the bank
and get the five hundred dollars out of my save
to the corn and meet you back here and we'll
close the deal, okay, And and I'll give you the deed.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
To the house.

this house?

Speaker 4 (12:06):

Speaker 6 (12:11):
Short.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Look here, I think I know how to get out
of just mess with end mm. I know where there's
a little lot out in the country that I can
get for seventy five dollars.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
That got it listed right here.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
M now, look here, I'll give him the lot and
he can move the house on that and I'll still
make a nice propet out of the deal.
Speaker 9 (12:28):
Seventy five dollars that that that's pretty cheap. See this
last summer when I was up in the country, I
paid seven hundred dollars for three acres.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Yeah, well uh you did huh mm.
Speaker 9 (12:37):
The farmers around there told me it was greaves and
land or something.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (12:41):
Then they said the grass on there was nurishing and
healthy and nutritions. It says said it was wonderful grass
i I I sold them property after two.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Weeks though, yeah, well hard to tell it short.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
The every time I ate this stuff it made me sick.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Oh come in, brother, and come in that right where
you is, King Frinch, I'm gonna beat you with an
answer your old life.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Now wait a minute and away, matignies.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Would you fight with a man who is smaller than you?
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Is what you mean?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Smaller than yours? You was half a hat bigger than iers.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
I know, but I fight some of crouch. I gets
down like you, King Frinch.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
This is the dirtiest trick you've ever done to me,
sticking me with that house without no lot?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Or is that what you saw about?
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Well?
Speaker 5 (13:29):
I was prepared to make good on that, and oor
eyes are pale. You know I wouldn't stick you with
a house without sticking you with.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
A lot too.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Or oh that sounds more like him? Yeah, oh sure,
Anna Look here, you has done had the lot all
the time. The only reason you didn't happen to notice
it when you looked at the house has cost a
lot is twelve miles away? Wait a matter twelve miles
away from the house. How you explain that?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Really? Can't explain it.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
And it's just one of the quirks of the real
estate business of death or twelve.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Miles was good, and they quirked that a little closer.
And besides, king face, how do I get the house
over to the lot?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Well, he hasn't moved, that's what. And you can even live.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
In the house while there is moving it and the
trip will do you good. And oh, I tell you,
And there's no thrill like quizzing through the city and
your own home. Yeah, well that sound good, alright, But
where's this lot? Brother, And I was very happy to
say that it's centrally located, what you mean, separately located
right in the middle between two other lots. Well, that's
(14:32):
a good location, all right.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Now, And the next thing to do is the de side.
Just where on this lot to put the house? Now,
I've got the plans.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Of the lot right here, and I also got the
plans of the house. Now, yeah, you take the house
plans and I'll take the plans of the lot here
and we'll check the figures, okay, David, alright, Redder, Yeah,
all right, with the lot thirty five feet worth, the
house forty two feet.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Well, now you see the thing, the the uh business.
Let's run over them seekers again. I think we done
messed up a Dishit in there someplace.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
There's something wrong in there.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
All right, Here we go with not thirty five.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Feet with the house, uh, king fish is still forty
two feet, and I think I hit on.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
What the tuble is.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
The house is just a wee bit bigger than the
light away better, King Fish, that house is seven feet
too big for that lot. What in the world is
we gonna do now?
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Well, now, let's not get excited.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
And there in the real estate circles, that's what the
Nord is overlapping.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
I think the smartest thing to do is to make
a few small alterations. All you gotta do is to
cut seven feet off the house, bring the outside wall
in in that year.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Yeah, but what happens to the inside of the house.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Well, just looking at the plans of the house here
to see you taking seven feet off the dining room.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
That won't hurt it a bit. Still, leave a nice
side dining room twelve by three, might even get a table.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
In the.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Yeah, yeah, wouldn' wouldn't wouldn't wouldn't hurt you to take
off the kitchen Neither or to lose is the sink
refrigerating the stool.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yeah, let's look at the upstairs playing. Yeah, get upstairs?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Yeah, well, nouh.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Taking seven feet off the bathroom might make a little
inconvenient for you there, how's that your baths are gonna
be half inside the half her house and half outside
of half the bathtub inside and half out. That ain't
gonna look too nea.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Well you might run a little live you over there
and make it look like a window box up there.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, but listen there, listen on Saturday night though hours
are gonna look the people passing by me sitting up
there taking a bath on a window box.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Well, you just have to.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Wear a bathroom when you're taking the bath.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Yeah, I'll wear my print one. They'll think I'm a gerinium.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
Lessen king face.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I ain't no pussy guy. But we can't jam that
big house of mine on that little lot. Now you
better do something about it.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
When I don't get excited, and they'll tell you what
I can do. I can buy ten more feet in
the property there and the house will fit on it.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Legged glove, now you was talking?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Yeah, Now, the only cost of three hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
To move the house.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, well that's about what hold it hold it just
at listen. I done had enough trouble with this house already.
And if anybody's gonna pay the movement, you're in. And
when I look and I couldn't pay the movie if
I wanted to, I'd be violating the building cord. You
was sold a stuck old house and under the lord
you was the stuck eve face lessen here, listen, I'm
(17:43):
gonna give it to you straight. If you don't find
some way to move that house over to that new lot,
I'm gonna haul you into court and sue you.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Oh man, what is well? Come in stone wall?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Hi ing?
Speaker 5 (18:14):
What chutch your stewing wall? I've been waiting here for
two hours to aggust something, would you?
Speaker 10 (18:19):
And I've been over the cart waiting to see how
our case come out. I see a friend of mine
was accused of counterfeitting that making counterfeiting money. I know
that man wasn't no counterfeiting.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
He was honest as the day's law.
Speaker 10 (18:33):
I wanted to handle the case for him, but I
just didn't have.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
The time or he didn't huh no, but.
Speaker 10 (18:38):
He wasn't worded he told me he'd handle his RN
defense and fine, gosh, you know he got out of
that unjust counterfeit charge.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
How'd you get out?
Speaker 10 (18:48):
He slipped the judge two million dollars.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Well, here was my situation stowing war.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
You know, there was some houses up on the East
West Highway that the state was.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Giving the way free to anybody move them.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Got heard about that?
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Yeah, well I done took one of them houses without
a lot, and I sewed the dandy for five hundred dollars.
Speaker 10 (19:07):
King Fish, you didn't do a thing like that to
aunt or That makes me mad.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
It infuriates me. Yeah, why couldn't I thought of that?
Speaker 6 (19:20):
No? Uh.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
The thing I gotta figure out to them all is
how to get that house moved for nothing?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:26):
I see Yah.
Speaker 10 (19:28):
Why don't you tell the state that the house is
a historical monument, then they might move it free a
charge to preserve it.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Well, I couldn't tell them that because the house was
the only built in nineteen twenty.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
So what is it gonna do?
Speaker 6 (19:41):
You know? King?
Speaker 10 (19:43):
The thing that dourist to look at this in the
spirit of legal Jewish proof. In other words, I say
that the proceeding we must follow is the old principle
of very task.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I'm there if sole factor? What did that mean? Like
a fool man, you know, I might.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Go down to the Highway Commissioner and tell him the
house has.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
To be moved for the public good. Yeah, could be
used as a hotpit or nothing. Yeah, well now that's right. Now,
you know what said.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
If I told him that, and there was a doctor
who was running a free clinic and needed this house
for his work, that might swing the thing.
Speaker 10 (20:26):
Yeah, I can't be I guess that solved your problem.
Speaker 9 (20:30):
You know, in the legal profession, I really see.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
The draft side of life. Take a case.
Speaker 10 (20:35):
I got to start working on tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
This criminal is the most despicable.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Man I ever met.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
He has spent his whole life chipping and cheating widders
and pole helpless people. Make me sick just to think
about it.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Well, if it feels that way, why don't you drop
the kids?
Speaker 10 (20:53):
I would, but I hate to turn against my own father.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
All right, And and now now here's the Highway Commissioner's office,
and I haven't already called him on the telephone.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
That's playing the situation.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, well that's good.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Now, look here I was going in and put into clinchon.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Now remember everything I done told you you was doctor Brown.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
I'll go in first.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I want you to come in later at the psychopathic moment. Okay, yes, man,
I help you, I asked George Stevens, the big philanthropust.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
I don't spook to you on the phone boat, I
will go.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
Oh yes, suh.
Speaker 11 (21:36):
Now what's all that you told me about wanting us
to move a house and the interest of public welfare?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Oh yeah, I was about to make a free.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Medical clinic out of the thing, you see.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Mother, I would gladly pay.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
For the moving of the house myself, because I've always
been a benefacturer.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
To the word of the courser.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
But leally, I don't give away so much money that
I done over benefaction myself.
Speaker 11 (21:57):
You you said something about turning this clinic over with
Dr Brown.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Just where is he working now?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Well, in the only place he can afford, in an
old attict that ain't.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Got no heat in it, no heating it, y sir,
it's really cool too.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
The poor fella can hardly stand to work there. Matter
of fact, instead of using rubber gloves, yes, to operate
with a pair of mittens.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
On Wait a minute, mister Stevey was.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Telling you the truth.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
It really gets freezing up there by the last appendix
he yanked, it would look like a popsicle.
Speaker 11 (22:27):
Wait a minute, Steve, It's nothing could be that bad.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Yeah, Well, I'm telling you the only heat he's had
up there for the last week was one of one
of the patients had a fever of one.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Hundred and six.
Speaker 11 (22:41):
It's just the most fantastic story I ever heard.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Well, I just wish that doctor Brown was here so
you could hear this sad tale from his own shivering lips,
I said, from his.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Own shivering lips. Come in, Well, what a cool incidence.
If it ain't the we're renowned doctor Brown.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
How is your missus Stevens? Can you let me have
two bits?
Speaker 4 (23:05):
What is the trouble, Doc Brown?
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Well, I've been operating all week and I just ran
out of catgut this morning. You ran out of cat gut? Yeah,
and I got two more operations to go to, a
big deck to me, one console deck to me, and
just a plaine deck to me too.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
What in the world is you going to do, doctor Brown?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
If I don't get no cat gut, I'm gonna have
to stick them fellows together. With Scotch tape. I got
some old bad news for you, missus, Stevens. Yesterday I
got victed out of that attic where I've been working.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
Oh that is terrible, doctor Brown. How is you gonna
carry on your great work?
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Well, it's gonna be tough, all right for hiss. Last
night I was walking along the street and all of
a sudden the fella come up to me screaming. I
give him a quick examination. Riscovered they needed his gallstones
to out right away.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Mmmm.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Well where did you perform this serious operation?
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Doctor?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Had to take him to a motel?
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Ye, how did the thing work out?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Not so good? Checking? Our time was two thirty and
I had to finish the operation on the front. Lawn
goes all over the place.
Speaker 11 (24:08):
This is all very interesting, doctor Brown.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Oh, doctor Brown, would you mind waiting outside just a minute?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Ipe, would you just step outside?
Speaker 11 (24:17):
I look, Stevens, I don't believe all this nonsense. And
besides that, my records here show that dude to some
engineering problems. They're going to have to divert the highway
seventy five feet from the property.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
The house won't have to be moved at all.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Hool is smooth that's wonderful.
Speaker 11 (24:30):
And if you want to buy it a lot, I'm
sure the stables sell it to you for a very
small sum. Now, will you excuse me, I'm very busy.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah mm, just seventy five feet from the highway. Let
me think if I could get a hold of that
place myself, I could turn it into a little road
stand in the gas station.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
And make a fortune. I hope, and is still waiting
for me.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Well, Kant Fishes. The thing work out is they're going
to move the house from me.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
No, and it dance.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And I'm gonna tell you something, brother, and my conscience
has been nibbling on them for this whole deal. It
is huh.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Uh yeah, And I'll tell you what I gonna do.
And then I was gonna give you.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Back your five hundred dollars and take this whole mess
off your hand.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Oh that's great, Kate Fisher is a path for.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
So this is the house you got, Joe.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yes, I really put over a big deal.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
You see.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
When I found out that they was going to divert
the highway seventy five feet, I give Andre's five hundred
dollars back and I got the deed to the house
then I took the money I earned this summer, and
I paid the state one hundred and fifty dollars for
the lot. Now I got a place just seventy five
feet from the highway that we can change into a
nice little road stand and gas station.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Oh a joint that sounds wonderful.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Oh honey, you know looking here at this fellaw with
the telescope. Yeah, you must be the highway engineer.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
I'll find out when they go finish their highways, so
I know when to start changing place over.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Almost engineer. Yeah, Uh, since I.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Heard you was gonna divert the highway seventy five feet,
I gonna put a gas station in Vitor.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Well, if you're gonna build a gas station here, you're gonna.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Need an awful long hose.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
What do you mean you apparently misunderstood about that diverting.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
We're diverting the highway up.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
We're elevating the highway seventy five feet in the air.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
O
Is Andy.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Well, the impossible has happened in the Stephens household. George
Kingfish Stephens got a job. He's been working for a
week now as a salesman in a local real estate office.
Today is payday, and as he returns home, he is
greeted by his wife's Siphi, Oh.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
George, this is the greatest thrill of my life. You
bring it home up, pay envelope?
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Yeah, well, here it is. What is you gonna do
with it? George? I'm gonna celebrate.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I'm gonna take this envelope, go down to the beauty
parla and use us in it to make myself attractive.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
Well, now, wait a minute, hundred, there's only money in there,
not magic, you know.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Besides that, don't you go squandering that money. You better
hang on to this, George.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
What you hinting at? Is you in trouble on that
job already?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Well, I'm gonna tell you this is the bad time
of the year for selling real estate.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Jock.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I'm surprised you lasted this long, But fortis you never
put in a full day's work in your life.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Well, I wear a manute before you shoot off your mouth? There?
What about that job?
Speaker 5 (01:08):
I had at the Seaman Company. On my first day
down at that Seaman plan, I was there for twelve
long hours.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yes, and the reason was because you fell asleep in
some wet concrete and it took him that long to
ship you out.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Well, I got overtime, didn't it.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
George Stevens, you're dis great. You done had fifty five
jobs in the last two years, and you've been fired
off of every.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
One of them.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Yeah. Well, at least I ain't no quitter.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
The ain't no pue argan, George, I'm giving you ultimatum.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
What ultimatu?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
You better get busy on this real estate job for gals.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
I'm through with you.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Well, now you wear a minute, Honey.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I don't know how I ever married you, and I
think that twenty years ago I was fooling after throwing
myself at you.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, and to think I was fool enough not to
duck you. Oh, come in, King Fish hand say there's
a nasty rumor going around town that she was going
to work.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Well, that's where Hanan Hi was working, in the real
estate office.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Well, tell me, King Fish, did Sapphire force you to
go to work or did you take the job on
account of your own violation.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
At fifty fifty Henre.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
But at the rad I'm going, I don't think I
gonna keep the job much longer. I can't find no
good houses to sell.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well, you know, there was a couple of very nice
ones up there on the parkway. I believed the architecture
was one of French colonial and the other one was
late gorgeous Georgia. That's the trouble to see all them
houses too responsive. Uh, if I gonna sell something, I
gotta get them in.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
The cheaper brackets that we say.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Wait a minute, King Fish, I just remember the night
I might seen in the paper. The state has just
condemned the number of houses out in the country they
put in a new highway.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
The state doesn't condemn some houses on the highway.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yes, they ain't in too good shape, so the state
will give them to anybody that'll pay the cost of
moving them.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
The houses is free, you hunh.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
You know, if I could sell one of them to
and there and not tell him that he got to
move it, everything I make would be clear property.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yes, yes, Kingfish. But Andy might not want to make
the changeover from his room to a house though.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Yeah, if I could tell him that there's rooming house
has been sold.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Say wait a minute, say.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
You know the United Nations has been buying up a
lot of property in town. I'll just convinced Andy the
United Nations is moving uptown and he has got to
get out. Yes, well, good luck, Kingfish. I gotta go
now and stop by the furriers to get my wife
Clara's per coat out of the cold story.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Ooh you put it in cold stories. Huh.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yes, it keeps things from deteriorating and falling apart. I
have often wished I could put Clara in there for
a couple of months.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Hell, here's the hand is wrong. I hope this United
Nations stiff works.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Oh how is your cap it?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
And there is you still here? Well, come on, I'll
help you pack. You ain't got much time, son, What
is you talking about?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
And and you hed the pick news The United Nations
has done for this whole neighborhood. They's moving that whole
UN headquarters up here lock Stocking delegates. Yeah, well, when
did this happen?
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Or it was announced on the wireless this morning by
that famous English statesman Churchill.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Down it was.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
It was broadcast right from the steps of the British cremlin.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Oh, and uh, with people from all these nations moving
up here, there has given everybody forty eight hours to
move up forty eight hours. That's awful short notice, ain't it.
Well it didn't give me that much.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Me and South Fire come home from a picture show
last night and out two bulg Gearans sleeping in out bed.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Well, how is all this gonna effect me? I don't
wanna sleep with No Bulgarians.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Is gonna effect you? And that the four powers.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
There's dividing the whole area around here in four sections.
And I see the blueprint of the planet. It's gonna
be just like Berlin.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
And the boundary line for the whole thing is gonna
run right through.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Your room, it is huh. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
And by the time the UN gets so dividing up
your bathroom is gonna be behind the iron curtain.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Oh that's bad, you know. Yeah, Well it might be
a little inconvenient when you get up in the morning.
You might have to show your passport before you can
brush your teeth. Not only that, and but on account
of the Russian there's gonna have to fly your food
in here by airlift.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
You know, you gotta eat oh me, this is a mess.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
But look, King Fish, I still don't understand what this
UN needs so much room for. What is this UN
bunch trying to do? Anyway? Where do you and us
trying to establish world peace?
Speaker 5 (06:02):
That's what? What do you think they've been fighting in squabbling.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
For for the past four years? Peace and brotherly love?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Well, what about the Russians? Is they after peace? To
all the Russians is really after and they are so
determined to have peace that they is lablish you ten
or twenty million people just to get it and.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
The nutshell of the thing. And is you better move
out of this neighborhood? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I was really in bad in trouble, all right. The
only thing is if I got to get out of here,
I don't know where I could move to them.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Twenty things. You should mention that Andre uh, maybe I
can't help you, brother. And just so, what happens that
I being in the real estate business, Yeah, I just
got a piece for it that's for.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Sale, a nice six room house for only five hundred dollars.
Five hundred dollars. Listen all over the country they're selling
the houses for ten and fifteen thousand. How come I
guess one of such a cheap price. Of course you
ain't a veteran Andrew that helps.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Huh oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
According to the real estate boy, the word is that
give the cowards the breaks, that's what it. Well, I
can't go wrong for no five hundred dollars. I'll take
the thing and I'll go right down to the bank
and get the five hundred dollars out of my save
to the corn and meet you back here and we'll
close the deal, okay, And and I'll give you the deed.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
To the house.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah. Listen, King Fisher, you think I'll be happy with
this house?
Speaker 6 (07:29):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
And you'll be in heaven, my boy. It's like being
up on a cloud listening to the angel. And if
you want to hear music, all you gotta say is.

Speaker 6 (11:38):
Oh me?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
And I was allergic to that fighting stuff you have,
lessen ken.
Speaker 9 (11:42):
Every man who's a man who's gotta fight sometime. Why,
I remember when he last month I had an argument
with a great big fella.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Oh he weighed two hundred.
Speaker 9 (11:50):
And ten pounds and was I freedom. Now, I said
to meet me down at the gymnasy. Missaf do nothing

you for going into that gym to the other that's
what it's dead.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Well, uh what happened, shorty?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
I didn't show up. No, no, now waited a minute.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Short.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Look here, I think I know how to get out
of just mess with end mm. I know where there's
a little lot out in the country that I can
get for seventy five dollars.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
That got it listed right here.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
M now, look here, I'll give him the lot and
he can move the house on that and I'll still
make a nice propet out of the deal.
Speaker 9 (12:28):
Seventy five dollars that that that's pretty cheap. See this
last summer when I was up in the country, I
paid seven hundred dollars for three acres.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Yeah, well uh you did huh mm.
Speaker 9 (12:37):
The farmers around there told me it was greaves and
land or something.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (12:41):
Then they said the grass on there was nurishing and
healthy and nutritions. It says said it was wonderful grass
i I I sold them property after two.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Weeks though, yeah, well hard to tell it short.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
The every time I ate this stuff it made me sick.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Oh come in, brother, and come in that right where
you is, King Frinch, I'm gonna beat you with an
answer your old life.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Now wait a minute and away, matignies.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Would you fight with a man who is smaller than you?
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Is what you mean?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Smaller than yours? You was half a hat bigger than iers.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
I know, but I fight some of crouch. I gets
down like you, King Frinch.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
This is the dirtiest trick you've ever done to me,
sticking me with that house without no lot?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Or is that what you saw about?
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Well?
Speaker 5 (13:29):
I was prepared to make good on that, and oor
eyes are pale. You know I wouldn't stick you with
a house without sticking you with.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
A lot too.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Or oh that sounds more like him? Yeah, oh sure,
Anna Look here, you has done had the lot all
the time. The only reason you didn't happen to notice
it when you looked at the house has cost a
lot is twelve miles away? Wait a matter twelve miles
away from the house. How you explain that?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Really? Can't explain it.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
And it's just one of the quirks of the real
estate business of death or twelve.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Miles was good, and they quirked that a little closer.
And besides, king face, how do I get the house
over to the lot?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Well, he hasn't moved, that's what. And you can even live.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
In the house while there is moving it and the
trip will do you good. And oh, I tell you,
And there's no thrill like quizzing through the city and
your own home. Yeah, well that sound good, alright, But
where's this lot? Brother, And I was very happy to
say that it's centrally located, what you mean, separately located
right in the middle between two other lots. Well, that's
(14:32):
a good location, all right.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Now, And the next thing to do is the de side.
Just where on this lot to put the house? Now,
I've got the plans.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Of the lot right here, and I also got the
plans of the house. Now, yeah, you take the house
plans and I'll take the plans of the lot here
and we'll check the figures, okay, David, alright, Redder, Yeah,
all right, with the lot thirty five feet worth, the
house forty two feet.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Well, now you see the thing, the the uh business.
Let's run over them seekers again. I think we done
messed up a Dishit in there someplace.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
There's something wrong in there.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
All right, Here we go with not thirty five.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Feet with the house, uh, king fish is still forty
two feet, and I think I hit on.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
What the tuble is.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
The house is just a wee bit bigger than the
light away better, King Fish, that house is seven feet
too big for that lot. What in the world is
we gonna do now?
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Well, now, let's not get excited.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
And there in the real estate circles, that's what the
Nord is overlapping.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
I think the smartest thing to do is to make
a few small alterations. All you gotta do is to
cut seven feet off the house, bring the outside wall
in in that year.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Yeah, but what happens to the inside of the house.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Well, just looking at the plans of the house here
to see you taking seven feet off the dining room.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
That won't hurt it a bit. Still, leave a nice
side dining room twelve by three, might even get a table.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
In the.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Yeah, yeah, wouldn' wouldn't wouldn't wouldn't hurt you to take
off the kitchen Neither or to lose is the sink
refrigerating the stool.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yeah, let's look at the upstairs playing. Yeah, get upstairs?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Yeah, well, nouh.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Taking seven feet off the bathroom might make a little
inconvenient for you there, how's that your baths are gonna
be half inside the half her house and half outside
of half the bathtub inside and half out. That ain't
gonna look too nea.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Well you might run a little live you over there
and make it look like a window box up there.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, but listen there, listen on Saturday night though hours
are gonna look the people passing by me sitting up
there taking a bath on a window box.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Well, you just have to.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Wear a bathroom when you're taking the bath.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Yeah, I'll wear my print one. They'll think I'm a gerinium.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
Lessen king face.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I ain't no pussy guy. But we can't jam that
big house of mine on that little lot. Now you
better do something about it.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
When I don't get excited, and they'll tell you what
I can do. I can buy ten more feet in
the property there and the house will fit on it.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Legged glove, now you was talking?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Yeah, Now, the only cost of three hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
To move the house.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, well that's about what hold it hold it just
at listen. I done had enough trouble with this house already.
And if anybody's gonna pay the movement, you're in. And
when I look and I couldn't pay the movie if
I wanted to, I'd be violating the building cord. You
was sold a stuck old house and under the lord
you was the stuck eve face lessen here, listen, I'm
(17:43):
gonna give it to you straight. If you don't find
some way to move that house over to that new lot,
I'm gonna haul you into court and sue you.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Oh man, what is well? Come in stone wall?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Hi ing?
Speaker 5 (18:14):
What chutch your stewing wall? I've been waiting here for
two hours to aggust something, would you?
Speaker 10 (18:19):
And I've been over the cart waiting to see how
our case come out. I see a friend of mine
was accused of counterfeitting that making counterfeiting money. I know
that man wasn't no counterfeiting.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
He was honest as the day's law.
Speaker 10 (18:33):
I wanted to handle the case for him, but I
just didn't have.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
The time or he didn't huh no, but.
Speaker 10 (18:38):
He wasn't worded he told me he'd handle his RN
defense and fine, gosh, you know he got out of
that unjust counterfeit charge.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
How'd you get out?
Speaker 10 (18:48):
He slipped the judge two million dollars.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Well, here was my situation stowing war.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
You know, there was some houses up on the East
West Highway that the state was.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Giving the way free to anybody move them.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Got heard about that?
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Yeah, well I done took one of them houses without
a lot, and I sewed the dandy for five hundred dollars.
Speaker 10 (19:07):
King Fish, you didn't do a thing like that to
aunt or That makes me mad.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
It infuriates me. Yeah, why couldn't I thought of that?
Speaker 6 (19:20):
No? Uh.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
The thing I gotta figure out to them all is
how to get that house moved for nothing?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:26):
I see Yah.
Speaker 10 (19:28):
Why don't you tell the state that the house is
a historical monument, then they might move it free a
charge to preserve it.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Well, I couldn't tell them that because the house was
the only built in nineteen twenty.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
So what is it gonna do?
Speaker 6 (19:41):
You know? King?
Speaker 10 (19:43):
The thing that dourist to look at this in the
spirit of legal Jewish proof. In other words, I say
that the proceeding we must follow is the old principle
of very task.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I'm there if sole factor? What did that mean? Like
a fool man, you know, I might.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Go down to the Highway Commissioner and tell him the
house has.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
To be moved for the public good. Yeah, could be
used as a hotpit or nothing. Yeah, well now that's right. Now,
you know what said.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
If I told him that, and there was a doctor
who was running a free clinic and needed this house
for his work, that might swing the thing.
Speaker 10 (20:26):
Yeah, I can't be I guess that solved your problem.
Speaker 9 (20:30):
You know, in the legal profession, I really see.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
The draft side of life. Take a case.
Speaker 10 (20:35):
I got to start working on tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
This criminal is the most despicable.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Man I ever met.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
He has spent his whole life chipping and cheating widders
and pole helpless people. Make me sick just to think
about it.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Well, if it feels that way, why don't you drop
the kids?
Speaker 10 (20:53):
I would, but I hate to turn against my own father.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
All right, And and now now here's the Highway Commissioner's office,
and I haven't already called him on the telephone.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
That's playing the situation.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, well that's good.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Now, look here I was going in and put into clinchon.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Now remember everything I done told you you was doctor Brown.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
I'll go in first.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I want you to come in later at the psychopathic moment. Okay, yes, man,
I help you, I asked George Stevens, the big philanthropust.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
I don't spook to you on the phone boat, I
will go.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
Oh yes, suh.
Speaker 11 (21:36):
Now what's all that you told me about wanting us
to move a house and the interest of public welfare?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Oh yeah, I was about to make a free.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Medical clinic out of the thing, you see.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Mother, I would gladly pay.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
For the moving of the house myself, because I've always
been a benefacturer.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
To the word of the courser.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
But leally, I don't give away so much money that
I done over benefaction myself.
Speaker 11 (21:57):
You you said something about turning this clinic over with
Dr Brown.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Just where is he working now?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Well, in the only place he can afford, in an
old attict that ain't.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Got no heat in it, no heating it, y sir,
it's really cool too.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
The poor fella can hardly stand to work there. Matter
of fact, instead of using rubber gloves, yes, to operate
with a pair of mittens.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
On Wait a minute, mister Stevey was.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Telling you the truth.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
It really gets freezing up there by the last appendix
he yanked, it would look like a popsicle.
Speaker 11 (22:27):
Wait a minute, Steve, It's nothing could be that bad.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Yeah, Well, I'm telling you the only heat he's had
up there for the last week was one of one
of the patients had a fever of one.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Hundred and six.
Speaker 11 (22:41):
It's just the most fantastic story I ever heard.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Well, I just wish that doctor Brown was here so
you could hear this sad tale from his own shivering lips,
I said, from his.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Own shivering lips. Come in, Well, what a cool incidence.
If it ain't the we're renowned doctor Brown.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
How is your missus Stevens? Can you let me have
two bits?
Speaker 4 (23:05):
What is the trouble, Doc Brown?
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Well, I've been operating all week and I just ran
out of catgut this morning. You ran out of cat gut? Yeah,
and I got two more operations to go to, a
big deck to me, one console deck to me, and
just a plaine deck to me too.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
What in the world is you going to do, doctor Brown?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
If I don't get no cat gut, I'm gonna have
to stick them fellows together. With Scotch tape. I got
some old bad news for you, missus, Stevens. Yesterday I
got victed out of that attic where I've been working.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
Oh that is terrible, doctor Brown. How is you gonna
carry on your great work?
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Well, it's gonna be tough, all right for hiss. Last
night I was walking along the street and all of
a sudden the fella come up to me screaming. I
give him a quick examination. Riscovered they needed his gallstones
to out right away.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Mmmm.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Well where did you perform this serious operation?
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Doctor?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Had to take him to a motel?
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Ye, how did the thing work out?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Not so good? Checking? Our time was two thirty and
I had to finish the operation on the front. Lawn
goes all over the place.
Speaker 11 (24:08):
This is all very interesting, doctor Brown.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Oh, doctor Brown, would you mind waiting outside just a minute?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Ipe, would you just step outside?
Speaker 11 (24:17):
I look, Stevens, I don't believe all this nonsense. And
besides that, my records here show that dude to some
engineering problems. They're going to have to divert the highway
seventy five feet from the property.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
The house won't have to be moved at all.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Hool is smooth that's wonderful.
Speaker 11 (24:30):
And if you want to buy it a lot, I'm
sure the stables sell it to you for a very
small sum. Now, will you excuse me, I'm very busy.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah mm, just seventy five feet from the highway. Let
me think if I could get a hold of that
place myself, I could turn it into a little road
stand in the gas station.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
And make a fortune. I hope, and is still waiting
for me.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Well, Kant Fishes. The thing work out is they're going
to move the house from me.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
No, and it dance.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And I'm gonna tell you something, brother, and my conscience
has been nibbling on them for this whole deal. It
is huh.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Uh yeah, And I'll tell you what I gonna do.
And then I was gonna give you.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Back your five hundred dollars and take this whole mess
off your hand.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Oh that's great, Kate Fisher is a path for.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
So this is the house you got, Joe.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yes, I really put over a big deal.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
You see.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
When I found out that they was going to divert
the highway seventy five feet, I give Andre's five hundred
dollars back and I got the deed to the house
then I took the money I earned this summer, and
I paid the state one hundred and fifty dollars for
the lot. Now I got a place just seventy five
feet from the highway that we can change into a
nice little road stand and gas station.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Oh a joint that sounds wonderful.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Oh honey, you know looking here at this fellaw with
the telescope. Yeah, you must be the highway engineer.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
I'll find out when they go finish their highways, so
I know when to start changing place over.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Almost engineer. Yeah, Uh, since I.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Heard you was gonna divert the highway seventy five feet,
I gonna put a gas station in Vitor.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Well, if you're gonna build a gas station here, you're gonna.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Need an awful long hose.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
What do you mean you apparently misunderstood about that diverting.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
We're diverting the highway up.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
We're elevating the highway seventy five feet in the air.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
