chance of practicuping in this state.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
You're insane, am.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I You know I could do it, don't you.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
You know I've got the power. Your weeky coward, try
to take my wife.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Away from me?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
You think that to the gamut about that lady, You don't,
You don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
It's just tell you your dog like me, love me.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
You won't not to me. You won't have me anymore,
you won't sun my way anymore.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
You're or you won't you?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, that's that's enough. Let him go.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Easy, Iris, easy, it's all right. Easy, Now, sit out here.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Tom cover, I'm covering.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
That's something. Please make it easy. Yeah, Tom, Tom is dead. Yeah,
and we're free now, Iris, we're free. You sitting any better?
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Yeah, I'm all right.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
We've been here too long, fifteen minutes.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Let's leave. Let's leave it like it is.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
What do you mean if they can't find nobody, there's
no murder. That's the only way. Nobody saw us come in.
That's in our favor. But if we leave him here,
we're in for it now. We'd have to take him,
do something with him. Something. His eyes are still, I'm
looking at her, Iris, would you pull out? And he
seems to be smiling and get it over?
Speaker 8 (07:09):
All right, we'll do it your way, but take let's
do it this time.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I've been thinking, if we just take him out between
hers and those Wait, somebody, our.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Cleaning woman, a cleaning woman, she's coming this way.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
That she's got her little key.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I forgot she's got her little cheese.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yes, just a simple little thing like a key, ordinary commonplace.
But now now it takes on a new shape, the
shape of a weapon, a weapon turning against Tom and iris.
Key or teas used to open doors, house doors, office doors,
and sometimes sometimes the.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
Doors are a selling poor poor is Yes.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
The door is opening, but the door, the open door
is a trift, the trip of a living nightmare. May
killed for many different reasons, for money, for love.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
For power.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
But whatever the reason, when murder is done, there's always
the court, the corpus delicty, the body of the crime.
You know, it's it's not easy to hide a dead body,
to get rid of a course. Tom knows this, I
it knows. But they took a chance. They ran the risks,
(08:51):
and the running is known for it.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
No, they they have to get rid of the body.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
They can't leave it there slums over the office disk.
Cleaning women have eyes too, eyes.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Would wich to see the shadows?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Cat by, of course, the shadow that lies over the
lives of common Irish darkning darting there.
Speaker 2 (09:15):

be quick about it.
Speaker 5 (10:39):

Speaker 7 (10:41):
My husband would be back. Don't whine about the tip.
I'll tell him to leave it.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
If you're lucky night tip.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I'm worried about it. I don't write nothing to be
clean behind that desk.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
Now, don't be telling me how to do my job,

There's any luck on this side the lock is it's
inside inside the closet.

Oh yes, yes, yes, Tom and Irish have murdered and
and now now they must get rid of the body.
But everything seems to be going wrong, doesn't it. First
the cleaning woman and then a messenger and now.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
The door is locked.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Who locked the door? Certainly not Peter or did he?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Huh? You know it's like a lead, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
The dead body that this corpse that won't go away,
that that won't be gotten rid off, that's tears and
greens and and persist in remaining on the scene.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
All right? We'll just have to do it that way?
Speaker 5 (17:40):
What way?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Force the closet door. It'll be evidence. It will point
to something wrong with there's no other way.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Why didn't you take it this before?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
But I didn't want to leave a fourth door. That's
why I didn't say it.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
Don't try to stay all right, but let's do it.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
It's the only way.
Speaker 2 (17:52):

And you wake up and and you know you've been dreaming,
But to sweat over your body like a wet roud,
and your heart to beat wildly, and and you find it.
You just still screaming, because even though you're awake, that

About time you knew Peter, Tom or not, you can't
tell me a thing either.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
If you can't tell me.

Anything I don't already know, Peter, I want to.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Say that you came here to tell me you're in loud.
You want a divorce if you want me to step aside,
you don't want to hurt me. But don't you think
I've known? Look, Peter, don't you.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Think I've known for a long time about the meetings,
the cocktail hours.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
That trip, the right till you've known.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
Maybe it's better this way we don't have to talk
about it.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
No, that's right, we don't have to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Only one or two things. First, there will be no devorce.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Hold on, Peter, you can't do this to You can't
hold her on personal what you doesn't want?
Speaker 4 (04:59):

Speaker 6 (05:05):
You're skill with me.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Maybe that's a good idea too. That said, there's not
gonna be any divorce.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Second, I'm gonna ruin you.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
What I said, I'm gonna do everything in my power
to ruin you. Use every ruse I can take up,
every trick, take advantage of every influence.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I can muster.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I be this vibe disgrace, talked about it with no
chance of practicuping in this state.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
You're insane, am.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I You know I could do it, don't you.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
You know I've got the power. Your weeky coward, try
to take my wife.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Away from me?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
You think that to the gamut about that lady, You don't,
You don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
It's just tell you your dog like me, love me.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
You won't not to me. You won't have me anymore,
you won't sun my way anymore.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
You're or you won't you?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, that's that's enough. Let him go.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Easy, Iris, easy, it's all right. Easy, Now, sit out here.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Tom cover, I'm covering.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
That's something. Please make it easy. Yeah, Tom, Tom is dead. Yeah,
and we're free now, Iris, we're free. You sitting any better?
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Yeah, I'm all right.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
We've been here too long, fifteen minutes.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Let's leave. Let's leave it like it is.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
What do you mean if they can't find nobody, there's
no murder. That's the only way. Nobody saw us come in.
That's in our favor. But if we leave him here,
we're in for it now. We'd have to take him,
do something with him. Something. His eyes are still, I'm
looking at her, Iris, would you pull out? And he
seems to be smiling and get it over?
Speaker 8 (07:09):
All right, we'll do it your way, but take let's
do it this time.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I've been thinking, if we just take him out between
hers and those Wait, somebody, our.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Cleaning woman, a cleaning woman, she's coming this way.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
That she's got her little key.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I forgot she's got her little cheese.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yes, just a simple little thing like a key, ordinary commonplace.
But now now it takes on a new shape, the
shape of a weapon, a weapon turning against Tom and iris.
Key or teas used to open doors, house doors, office doors,
and sometimes sometimes the.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
Doors are a selling poor poor is Yes.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
The door is opening, but the door, the open door
is a trift, the trip of a living nightmare. May
killed for many different reasons, for money, for love.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
For power.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
But whatever the reason, when murder is done, there's always
the court, the corpus delicty, the body of the crime.
You know, it's it's not easy to hide a dead body,
to get rid of a course. Tom knows this, I
it knows. But they took a chance. They ran the risks,
(08:51):
and the running is known for it.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
No, they they have to get rid of the body.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
They can't leave it there slums over the office disk.
Cleaning women have eyes too, eyes.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Would wich to see the shadows?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Cat by, of course, the shadow that lies over the
lives of common Irish darkning darting there.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You've got some freedom.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
What are we gonna do?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I'm like, who's that? Yes, somebody in here. We just
came in, didn't see in the hall.
Speaker 7 (09:32):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Well? Uh, you ate, mister Hall and missus Howard, well

Speaker 5 (09:38):

Speaker 7 (09:41):
You just get out and I'll be finish here in
a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I wonder if you might come back later.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
All the work they call us pole around here? Who's
the office to clean every night?
Speaker 6 (09:49):
You know what wages?
Speaker 2 (09:51):

Speaker 1 (10:11):
What's the matter with you?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Nothing's the matter, just that missus Howard and I have
some business to discussion.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
We'd rather be alone. You'll be alone because I've finished
up here. I've got a minute.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Not that I have to work in this life.
Speaker 8 (10:24):
But I can't see it.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
But I've got.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Unturn my tail.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Never mind, he says, never mind.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
The managers will be sure of mind.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
If I leave it there, I'll clean it up and
be quick about it.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
I don't understand this, or doll I hold you.
Speaker 7 (10:41):
My husband would be back. Don't whine about the tip.
I'll tell him to leave it.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
If you're lucky night tip.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I'm worried about it. I don't write nothing to be
clean behind that desk.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
Now, don't be telling me how to do my job,
if you'll please, in case, just in case, he doesn't
arrive here ten ten dollars. That's what he usually gives you, isn'ess?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
No? I mean then what usually gives me.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Now. Now we've got to be left alone.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
We've got something to discuss, all right, all right, at
starting to discuss.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
I want to leave him here. Irish, think when you
she's seen us, you gave her your name. Why on
earth did you tell her your name?
Speaker 3 (11:42):
But we've certainly got some thinking to do now.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
We can't leave them here, that's for sure.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
We go to get him now.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I don't know yet, but if we go without him,
we're sure to be just as dead as he is.
Speaker 8 (11:53):
Sooner or later, any ideas, No, stop walking up and
down like him.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
I'll get out and think.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Cleaning woman, she's still on this floor.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
You can't get out in the hall. That's with damn.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
No, I know.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Oh, that's what's the matter with you?
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Calm telling his eyes they followed me. All all right,
I'm all right.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Turn the other way, all right, a cleaning woman. She'll
be going down to the next floor soon. Then we
can take him out. Hold him between us and that
he would.
Speaker 7 (12:44):
Drunk anything, anything now, just as long as we do
something with him, get away from him.

Speaker 5 (15:16):
I didn't lost, you didn't.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
There's any luck on this side the lock is it's
inside inside the closet.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Oh really, really, this this isn't possible. Is it a
a dead body locking the door behind him?
Speaker 6 (15:30):
Or is it.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Seems so shameful? It didn't it didn't it?
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Hither he stood.

Between you, blocking the way of your love, and all
you have to do is get rid of him. And
you did, or thought you did, But he only got
rid of his life. He he's still there, and he him,
his body is still dangerous.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
You have to get rid of it him, don't you.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And now he's prostrated you again.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
That fill, isn't it? A dead man can't lock a door.
Poor poor Iris.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
They are trapped, trapped in a living nightmare.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Now uh where we'll wait?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Oh yes, yes, yes, Tom and Irish have murdered and
and now now they must get rid of the body.
But everything seems to be going wrong, doesn't it. First
the cleaning woman and then a messenger and now.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
The door is locked.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Who locked the door? Certainly not Peter or did he?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Huh? You know it's like a lead, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
The dead body that this corpse that won't go away,
that that won't be gotten rid off, that's tears and
greens and and persist in remaining on the scene.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Yeah, it's like an indestructible leaf slowly sucking feeling and
terror from the heart of to kill it.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
What time is it?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Half to three?
Speaker 7 (17:11):
Six hours?
Speaker 5 (17:11):
With here? Almost six hours? Tom?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Why don't we can't leave him in the closet?
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Try it again?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Now?
Speaker 5 (17:23):
What are we gonna do?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
We get here like this, that's all you do is think.
Why don't you do something?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Why don't say to do something?
Speaker 3 (17:37):
All right? We'll just have to do it that way?
Speaker 5 (17:40):
What way?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Force the closet door. It'll be evidence. It will point
to something wrong with there's no other way.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Why didn't you take it this before?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
But I didn't want to leave a fourth door. That's
why I didn't say it.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
Don't try to stay all right, but let's do it.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
It's the only way.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
There's want to be something around here. I can We'll
leave the crude live on the top.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
