Speaker 1 (00:12):
The Chicago Motor Club presents the Wayside Theater. Welcome to
the Wayside Theater, ladies and gentlemen. The Chicago Motor Club
plans this dramatic half hour for your radio enjoyment once
a week. But there isn't a single minute of the
(00:34):
week when the Club doesn't have your motoring enjoyment in mind.
And that's been going on for thirty three years. Today,
seventy eight thousand member families depend on the Chicago Motor
Club for the instant solution of every problem connected with
owning and driving a car. It doesn't matter where a
member is when those problems arise. Because the Chicago Motor
(00:55):
Club is the only club in this territory affiliated with
the AAA, the American Automobile Association. That important tie up
means that members are a part of one thousand other
automobile clubs in this country. What's more, the club's International
Alliance assures motoring protection and service to members traveling abroad.
(01:17):
That in itself is enough to make a membership worthwhile,
but there are twenty five other benefits too, and they're
all explained in.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
The club's free booklet.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
If you live in.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Illinois or Indiana, just send your name and.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Address to the Chicago Motor Club, Chicago or its nearest
branch office in Chicago phone Franklin one eight one eighth.
That free booklet is yours for the asking. And now,
(01:52):
ladies and gentlemen, the wayside. Theatter prevents the first act
of tonight's play, Love and a Taxi.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
You mean you don't have anything for me, mister Stork.
I'm sorry, Larie, but I can't use anyone.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
That hasn't specialized, and ab degree doesn't come for much
these days. It's specialization and actual experience that comets in
this day and age. Now, if you can get a
couple of years experience in this field and then come round,
I think I could use you.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
All right, veniss, I'd like to help you for nothing,
open the present.
Speaker 3 (02:29):

my boy. You see before you Larry Banister, possessor of
a nice shiny secondhand taxi that's going to make him
his fortune.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Fortune. And now look, I tried to talk you out
of this taxi business. I explained to you that fifteen
a week clear.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Is top fifteen dollars a week as a fortune, Max,
especially after pounding the pavement for almost a year without
making a sense.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Okay, but this taxi business is a tough racket. Don't
ever say I didn't warn you.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I'm full of fighting, rare to go, Max, So bring
on your tough customers. Hey, look, holy Michael, it's your camp.
Somebody ran in, so.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Oh my tex my beautiful time.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Come on, let's grab the guy that ramps.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeh, a dane.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
You might know it would be a dane and would
do it.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
I don't like that nasty little insinuation.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
That was no insinuation, lady, that was a statement of past.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Now look, would you mind telling me just how out
of ten thousand taxis in New York you selected mine?
Speaker 6 (03:48):
I just didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
You didn't see it, or that's what we're looking at
your pug nose in the rearview mirror.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
That's not the least it's funny.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Are you listen to me?
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Oh no, you listen to me. You you too, gorillas.
I haven't decided this intention of giving you any explanation
of any sort. Now, then, if you'll unhook my bumper
out of your your spark plugs, I'll leave.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Oh so it's just as simple as that.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Hey, well, my decay and Daviet Hunt, you've got another
guest coming. Do you know that you've just wrecked the
first job I've been able to land since I left
college a year ago.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
You don't seem to make a bit of sense.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I don't. Eh, well, maybe you can understand this.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I'm broke.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I paid my last center by that heck, and you
think you can wreck my TAXI wrecked my career and
then simply drive off without so much a sense.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
Oh, well, I didn't know the card belonged to you.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
You did not belong to me. Well do you think
I've been screaming my head off or a friend?
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Well, I thought it belongs to some big corporation or something,
and and thank you. Just sue me and.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
There it be all.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, And since it doesn't belong to a big Soulis corporation, oh,
I'll fix.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
It up for you. You just haven't repaired, and send
me the bill.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And how do you think I'm going to make a
living while my CAB's laid up in a garage?
Speaker 6 (04:51):
Oh I hadn't thought of that.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
No, no, of course not. You pampered darlings from park
have and you get behind the wheels of your high
powered car, step on the accelerator and then and on
your checkbook to keep you out of trouble.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Oh please, now, I really am sorry about this. How
much money would you want.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
To forget the whole thing? Well, yes, yeah, you see,
you see the old checkbook complex. You think anything can
be fixed by a check You can't understand the sentiment
I had for that car. That car was a symbol
to me, a symbol of my emancipation, a symbol of all.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
Right, if you're so high minded about money, how do
you propose fixing this up?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Don't be a sucker.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Take the doll.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Take the doll, Mac, I'm disappointed in you.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Well, well, here's the situation.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
It's okay for you to pay for the damages my car,
but I need something to hack in for the next week.
So one solution that before I'm gonna use your car
on mind's fix what?
Speaker 7 (05:41):
Well, I never heard of such a thing. This is
an important car. It has a custom built body, mad
especially for me.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I guess I made a.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Mistake about you, a mistake about me.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yes, I thought maybe I had a little sporting blood
in you, a sense of decency and fair play. But
I was wrong. I guess you know difference than all
of them. Well, get out your check book. Is that
your way?
Speaker 6 (06:03):
Well? Well, if I give you my card, use, how
do I know you won't run off?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
You don't? You have to trust me?
Speaker 6 (06:11):
All right? Then you can have the car for a week.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
We say, maybe I did misjudge.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
You don't bother to change your opinions because I really
don't care what you think anyway.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
You're an insufferable egotism.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, now you sound more natural.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
There's one condition of this deal, however, you have to
drive me around from ten to midnight any evening I
may need you.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Oh now, wait a minute. I'm not going to be
your lackey or shore work.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
I'll pay you the regular TAXI rates.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Well that's different.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Is it a deal?

Speaker 6 (07:42):
I object to.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
The way you say it. I can tell you're just
trying to shut me up for once.

had to help him out, didn't I.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You see, we don't see the beginning any place.

To stop the car. Stop this card once.
Speaker 1 (08:19):

Is the idea? Well, I'll explain you.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
See we can He's here's some mighty funny stuff for
our customers, but we can't laugh because the customer might
get mad. So when I feel urged to laugh, I
just take a corner on two wheels.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Well, really, mister banister, this is too much.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Are you gonna marry him?
Speaker 6 (08:41):

Speaker 2 (08:47):

on running my life out of Bassport, mister Bannister.

You're fired. Fired.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
I'll get out of my car, Get out both of you.
From now on, I'm running my own cars and my
own life.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
Too often a pactorate count your club.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Your attention, please, Ladies and gentlemen in orders a problem
sometimes to figure out just how to be sure of
holding the interest of a radio audience when a message
of real importance is about to be given. I might
blow a police whistle, or fire off a gun, or
blast you out of your chairs with a fire siren.
But that's taking unfair advantage, I'm afraid, so I'll just
(09:53):
repeat your attention please. If you own and drive a car,
the Chicago Motor Club includes a one thousand dollars personal
accident policy and its membership at no extra cost. With
each year's membership renewal, that policy increases in value until
in its sixth year it's worth.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
One thousand, five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
That's a mighty generous insurance policy. Friends, And remember it's
included at no extra cost. It provides for payment if
a member is killed while driving, walking, or while riding
in a car driven by another. Think what that money
might mean to your own family. We all know that
when unexpected tragedy strikes, our grief stricken families are faced
(10:36):
with the added burden of making every dollar count. I
wish I had time to tell you real life instances
where the club's personal accident policy has actually saved families
from serious necessity and has given them the courage they
need at a time of sorrow and stress. This one
benefit and protection alone is more than worth the small
(10:58):
annual membership fee from all the other twenty five money
saving services you ought to yourself and your family to
at least read about the Chicago Motor Club's amazing motoring
advantages in a free booklet yours for the.
Speaker 3 (11:12):

this program, between the second and third acts of tonight's play,

Persistence is what does it. If you keep it up
long enough, they begin to say to themselves, this guy
must really love me, or he wouldn't spend all this
time chasing me around the head. As soon as they're
convinced that you love them well, and it's no diamond
dog before they fall in love with you.

Speaker 6 (24:40):
Your honomy, I speak to you, please, I'm the defender,
I'm the practice. I'm Jeane Williams.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Yes, well, well, I decided to withdraw charges against these
two men.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Why are you doing that, miss Williams.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
Well, I just am that's off.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Now see him as Williams.
Speaker 10 (24:58):
Yes, and that you charge these men with break and
entering and with burglary.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
If these men are criminals, they should be locked up.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
Oh they're not criminals, your honnor, reality aren't. Larry Dais
is a very fine bring the prisoners before the bar.
Oh please set him free, your honor. I only had
him put in the teaching a lesson. I had to
do something to show him he couldn't interfere in my life.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
But now yeah, and now.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Well, now I don't mind his interfering.
Speaker 10 (25:26):
Yeah, I'm beginning to understand this case.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Here's a personer.
Speaker 6 (25:30):
Sure, oh Larrier, I'm so glad to see you.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Yes, I can imagine you too, realize I suppose that
you were to be tried today on rather a serious charge.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Away with frank, your honor, this dame, I'll handle it.
Speaker 10 (25:43):
However, the state star witness Ms. Jean Williams has decided
to withdraw all charges, so I have no alternative, but
such a free Just a minute, your honor, My partner
and I have suffered both mental and physical anguish because
of this arrest, and we'd like to know the reason
and that prompted Miss Williams to drop the case. Does
she not admit that we were employed by her and
(26:04):
had a right to be in the garage the night
we were arrested? And do you admit that these men
were employed by you, Miss Williams? Well I answer yes
or no? Are these men employed by you?
Speaker 7 (26:16):
Yes, your honor, that's why I'm withdrawing all charges.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Then, your honor, I asked that you placed miss Jean
Williams under arrest.
Speaker 10 (26:24):
Oh, honor, hor in the court room, mister fenister, on
what grounds do you ask this?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
She's guilty of causing a false arrest, of defamation of character,
and of perjury.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
If I was.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
In her employee, as she now says, then she had
me arrested falsely and damage my character. If, on the
other hand, I was not employed by her but actually
was stealing parts of her car, then she has just
committed perjury. Why in either case, your honor, she has
committed the crime.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Judge, you're not going to believe this.
Speaker 10 (26:59):
Well, now, miss Williams, mister Bennister has a point there.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I'd advise you to explain yourself.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Oh I never well, my little schemer, the tables are turned.
Speaker 6 (27:11):
Why you horrid thing? Oh I hate you, I hate Williams.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
The court is waiting for your explanation.
Speaker 7 (27:19):
Well it was this, for your honor, I said, I
employed this, this creature because I.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
Felt sorry for him and wanted to help him get
out of jail.
Speaker 10 (27:27):
Then he never worked for you, certainly not. Then you
did commit perjury.
Speaker 7 (27:32):
Oh is his perjury something bad?
Speaker 2 (27:38):
It's a very serious offense.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Young lady, Oh dear, well, as a matter of fact,
your honor, I did employ him.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
And what capacity.
Speaker 10 (27:47):
Well, in that case, you lied to the arresting offices
and cause the false arrest of the two men. They're
entitled to damages from you in such a case damages?
Speaker 6 (27:59):
Well, just how to.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
By paying them money?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Now, wait a minute, judge, she is one of those
women who thinks her check book can get her out
of any jam.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
I won't take her money. I wouldn't give her the satisfyation.
Speaker 10 (28:08):
Now just a moment, mister banister, if you don't want
money from her, just what do you want?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
I want to teach her a lesson?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Oh? I sing?
Speaker 10 (28:19):
And young lady, you had mister Banister's jail to teach
him a lesson, did you know?
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Yes? I did.
Speaker 10 (28:24):
You're both determined to teach the other one a lesson. Yes,
you're both quite angry with the other.
Speaker 11 (28:29):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Could it be that you're both in love with each other?
Order in the court.
Speaker 10 (28:42):
Well, that's just what I thought. I'll tell you what
I'll do. Since both of you have charges hanging over here,
I'll suspend sentence and parole you in each other's cuse.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Today, you mean I'm to see that she behaves.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
Oh no, the judge means time to see your behavior.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
You're both to see that you're both behave. Well is
that only one life?
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Well, now that's sort of an injunction.
Speaker 10 (29:03):
But come from the department on the floor below this.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
I can't do. You're in my custody.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
You're in my custody just as much.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
All right, you tell me what to do?
Speaker 6 (29:21):
Then, okay, come on you.

automobile clubs in this country. What's more, the club's International
Alliance assures motoring protection and service to members traveling abroad.

especially after pounding the pavement for almost a year without
making a sense.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Okay, but this taxi business is a tough racket. Don't

Speaker 1 (03:15):
I'm full of fighting, rare to go, Max, So bring

Somebody ran in, so.

Come on, let's grab the guy that ramps.

Yeh, a dane.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
You might know it would be a dane and would
do it.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
I don't like that nasty little insinuation.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
That was no insinuation, lady, that was a statement of past.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Now look, would you mind telling me just how out
of ten thousand taxis in New York you selected mine?
Speaker 6 (03:48):
I just didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
You didn't see it, or that's what we're looking at
your pug nose in the rearview mirror.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
That's not the least it's funny.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Are you listen to me?
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Oh no, you listen to me. You you too, gorillas.
I haven't decided this intention of giving you any explanation
of any sort. Now, then, if you'll unhook my bumper
out of your your spark plugs, I'll leave.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Oh so it's just as simple as that.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Hey, well, my decay and Daviet Hunt, you've got another
guest coming. Do you know that you've just wrecked the
first job I've been able to land since I left
college a year ago.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
You don't seem to make a bit of sense.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I don't. Eh, well, maybe you can understand this.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I'm broke.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I paid my last center by that heck, and you
think you can wreck my TAXI wrecked my career and
then simply drive off without so much a sense.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
Oh, well, I didn't know the card belonged to you.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
You did not belong to me. Well do you think
I've been screaming my head off or a friend?
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Well, I thought it belongs to some big corporation or something,
and and thank you. Just sue me and.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
There it be all.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, And since it doesn't belong to a big Soulis corporation, oh,
I'll fix.

me the bill.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And how do you think I'm going to make a
living while my CAB's laid up in a garage?
Speaker 6 (04:51):
Oh I hadn't thought of that.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
No, no, of course not. You pampered darlings from park
have and you get behind the wheels of your high
powered car, step on the accelerator and then and on
your checkbook to keep you out of trouble.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Oh please, now, I really am sorry about this. How
much money would you want.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
To forget the whole thing? Well, yes, yeah, you see,
you see the old checkbook complex. You think anything can
be fixed by a check You can't understand the sentiment
I had for that car. That car was a symbol
to me, a symbol of my emancipation, a symbol of all.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
Right, if you're so high minded about money, how do
you propose fixing this up?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Don't be a sucker.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Take the doll.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Take the doll, Mac, I'm disappointed in you.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Well, well, here's the situation.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
It's okay for you to pay for the damages my car,
but I need something to hack in for the next week.
So one solution that before I'm gonna use your car
on mind's fix what?
Speaker 7 (05:41):
Well, I never heard of such a thing. This is
an important car. It has a custom built body, mad
especially for me.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I guess I made a.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Mistake about you, a mistake about me.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yes, I thought maybe I had a little sporting blood
in you, a sense of decency and fair play. But
I was wrong. I guess you know difference than all
of them. Well, get out your check book. Is that
your way?
Speaker 6 (06:03):
Well? Well, if I give you my card, use, how
do I know you won't run off?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
You don't? You have to trust me?
Speaker 6 (06:11):
All right? Then you can have the car for a week.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
We say, maybe I did misjudge.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
You don't bother to change your opinions because I really
don't care what you think anyway.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
You're an insufferable egotism.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, now you sound more natural.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
There's one condition of this deal, however, you have to
drive me around from ten to midnight any evening I
may need you.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Oh now, wait a minute. I'm not going to be
your lackey or shore work.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
I'll pay you the regular TAXI rates.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Well that's different.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Is it a deal?
Speaker 2 (06:35):

Here are the keys.
Speaker 7 (06:37):

Will you shump? Not until this thing is fashed out
and you promised to stop all these crazy stunts, Philip,
I explained to you.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
I smashed his cab. It was entirely my fault. I
had to help him out, didn't I.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You see, we don't see the beginning any place.

Well, really, mister banister, this is too much.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Are you gonna marry him?
Speaker 6 (08:41):

Too often a pactorate count your club.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Your attention, please, Ladies and gentlemen in orders a problem
sometimes to figure out just how to be sure of
holding the interest of a radio audience when a message
of real importance is about to be given. I might
blow a police whistle, or fire off a gun, or
blast you out of your chairs with a fire siren.
But that's taking unfair advantage, I'm afraid, so I'll just
(09:53):
repeat your attention please. If you own and drive a car,
the Chicago Motor Club includes a one thousand dollars personal
accident policy and its membership at no extra cost. With
each year's membership renewal, that policy increases in value until
in its sixth year it's worth.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
One thousand, five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
That's a mighty generous insurance policy. Friends, And remember it's
included at no extra cost. It provides for payment if
a member is killed while driving, walking, or while riding
in a car driven by another. Think what that money
might mean to your own family. We all know that
when unexpected tragedy strikes, our grief stricken families are faced
(10:36):
with the added burden of making every dollar count. I
wish I had time to tell you real life instances
where the club's personal accident policy has actually saved families
from serious necessity and has given them the courage they
need at a time of sorrow and stress. This one
benefit and protection alone is more than worth the small
(10:58):
annual membership fee from all the other twenty five money
saving services you ought to yourself and your family to
at least read about the Chicago Motor Club's amazing motoring
advantages in a free booklet yours for the.

Speaker 6 (24:40):
Your honomy, I speak to you, please, I'm the defender,
I'm the practice. I'm Jeane Williams.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Yes, well, well, I decided to withdraw charges against these
two men.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Why are you doing that, miss Williams.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
Well, I just am that's off.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Now see him as Williams.
Speaker 10 (24:58):
Yes, and that you charge these men with break and
entering and with burglary.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
If these men are criminals, they should be locked up.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
Oh they're not criminals, your honnor, reality aren't. Larry Dais
is a very fine bring the prisoners before the bar.
Oh please set him free, your honor. I only had
him put in the teaching a lesson. I had to
do something to show him he couldn't interfere in my life.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
But now yeah, and now.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Well, now I don't mind his interfering.
Speaker 10 (25:26):
Yeah, I'm beginning to understand this case.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Here's a personer.
Speaker 6 (25:30):
Sure, oh Larrier, I'm so glad to see you.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Yes, I can imagine you too, realize I suppose that
you were to be tried today on rather a serious charge.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Away with frank, your honor, this dame, I'll handle it.
Speaker 10 (25:43):
However, the state star witness Ms. Jean Williams has decided
to withdraw all charges, so I have no alternative, but
such a free Just a minute, your honor, My partner
and I have suffered both mental and physical anguish because
of this arrest, and we'd like to know the reason
and that prompted Miss Williams to drop the case. Does
she not admit that we were employed by her and
(26:04):
had a right to be in the garage the night
we were arrested? And do you admit that these men
were employed by you, Miss Williams? Well I answer yes
or no? Are these men employed by you?
Speaker 7 (26:16):
Yes, your honor, that's why I'm withdrawing all charges.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Then, your honor, I asked that you placed miss Jean
Williams under arrest.
Speaker 10 (26:24):
Oh, honor, hor in the court room, mister fenister, on
what grounds do you ask this?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
She's guilty of causing a false arrest, of defamation of character,
and of perjury.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
If I was.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
In her employee, as she now says, then she had
me arrested falsely and damage my character. If, on the
other hand, I was not employed by her but actually
was stealing parts of her car, then she has just
committed perjury. Why in either case, your honor, she has
committed the crime.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Judge, you're not going to believe this.
Speaker 10 (26:59):
Well, now, miss Williams, mister Bennister has a point there.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I'd advise you to explain yourself.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Oh I never well, my little schemer, the tables are turned.
Speaker 6 (27:11):
Why you horrid thing? Oh I hate you, I hate Williams.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
The court is waiting for your explanation.
Speaker 7 (27:19):
Well it was this, for your honor, I said, I
employed this, this creature because I.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
Felt sorry for him and wanted to help him get
out of jail.
Speaker 10 (27:27):
Then he never worked for you, certainly not. Then you
did commit perjury.
Speaker 7 (27:32):
Oh is his perjury something bad?
Speaker 2 (27:38):
It's a very serious offense.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Young lady, Oh dear, well, as a matter of fact,
your honor, I did employ him.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
And what capacity.
Speaker 10 (27:47):
Well, in that case, you lied to the arresting offices
and cause the false arrest of the two men. They're
entitled to damages from you in such a case damages?
Speaker 6 (27:59):
Well, just how to.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
By paying them money?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Now, wait a minute, judge, she is one of those
women who thinks her check book can get her out
of any jam.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
I won't take her money. I wouldn't give her the satisfyation.
Speaker 10 (28:08):
Now just a moment, mister banister, if you don't want
money from her, just what do you want?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
I want to teach her a lesson?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Oh? I sing?
Speaker 10 (28:19):
And young lady, you had mister Banister's jail to teach
him a lesson, did you know?
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Yes? I did.
Speaker 10 (28:24):
You're both determined to teach the other one a lesson. Yes,
you're both quite angry with the other.
Speaker 11 (28:29):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Could it be that you're both in love with each other?
Order in the court.
Speaker 10 (28:42):
Well, that's just what I thought. I'll tell you what
I'll do. Since both of you have charges hanging over here,
I'll suspend sentence and parole you in each other's cuse.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Today, you mean I'm to see that she behaves.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
Oh no, the judge means time to see your behavior.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
You're both to see that you're both behave. Well is
that only one life?
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Well, now that's sort of an injunction.
Speaker 10 (29:03):
But come from the department on the floor below this.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
I can't do. You're in my custody.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
You're in my custody just as much.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
All right, you tell me what to do?
