Come in.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Welcome. I meet you, marshall.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Because I bring you stories of mystery and intrigue, of
frightening new worlds, and chivalry shapes its life sinuously through
the night. Doesn't mean that I don't believe in love
and marriage and any amount of simple things. It's only
that when I bring you a nice, heartwarming tale, it
really should be garnished with a crystal mystery. I see

(01:13):
a whole lifetime, Mary. That's what I look forward.

Ten blocks north of the Honky Tongue of forty second Street,
ten times square is the Roseland Bone. Too many people
remember it or I've heard of it from the ten
cents of dance days when it was still located on Broadway.
But the fifty second Street Roseland has been, is, and
probably always will be the greatest night out anywhere for

(02:22):
anyone who dreams of romance at a price that the
ordinary person can afford. Nowhere else in New York can
you dance to orchestras that bring you the haunting melodies
from the time when I the longest so many of
you listening was young in the visual tell how can

(02:43):
I forget? I played it on our first date forty
five years Mary, I was twenty and you ship what
we know.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
A woman doesn't like to talk about a age.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
That's bad.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
That's what I want.

Speaker 5 (03:03):
But you're already trumperting what that was forty five years ago.
Anybody could add up to how old I am?

You mustn't get sick married. Ever, I don't know what
i'd do with the neighbor newt still can they go

I like having my arms around here.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
I'm just tired. I'd like to sit down for.

Speaker 6 (03:45):
Just a moment, all right, honey.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
But it's not like you.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
It will soon be time.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
I don't want to go, you know, one every time.
I'm not ready yet, No one ever is. You're no
different than anyone else, but we are. We're admire a
special so we're all got children.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
Better makes your preparation.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Mary, It's not like you to get tired.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Are you all right?

Speaker 4 (04:22):
Yes, I'm fine. They don't look so worried.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Maybe a little rest.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
They started the music again.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
You knew they would, Alvin, don't let's waste it.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
About you said you were tired.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
I am little, but I like so much to have
your arms around me. Oh, Ed, it's been a wonderful
forty five years.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
It's only beginning.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
Oh. I wish Angie and Tom could get as much
out of life as we do.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
They had a different world, Mary, the Coorea, Vietnam, the
whole shebang, changing around like musical chairs, everything coming a
part of the scene, and.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
We didn't have it tough. We had the big war.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
So long ago, forgot and at least we came out of.
It's the same way we went in. Angie and Tom,
they never had the chance to know just where they stood.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
We've always known where the lucky ones.

Speaker 5 (05:20):
Well, my daughter's done better than me. She had four kids.
I only had Angie.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
You regret that so much.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
Just a long time ago, when I was younger, I.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
Always wanted to give you a boy, and you wanted
one to got.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
The best I ever wanted was you, And still do
it for ever and ever till death do it.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
I'll say that for a.

Speaker 5 (05:50):
I'm just remembering back to that wonderful day we married.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
Let's dance, all right.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
I wonder what Angie and Tom really feel about us,
the lovers?

Speaker 3 (06:04):
What else I need?

Speaker 5 (06:05):
Like tonight, it was a nice dinner. I should have
stayed to do the dishes.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
You couldn't, my lady, You were going out dancing.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
But that's what I mean. Why couldn't they have come along?

Speaker 3 (06:17):
It's not their things?

Speaker 4 (06:19):
I realized.

Speaker 5 (06:21):
I just wonder if they think of us as Philly?

Speaker 6 (06:25):
Do you?

Speaker 4 (06:26):
No?

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Then I don't think they do either.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
At least we're a lot of old parties who hang
around them like a bowl chain.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
We'd never do that, I hope.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
So what are we worried about them for. Let's got
a South American rug, you and me. Why isn't it Angie?

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Aren't you finished yet?

Speaker 7 (06:55):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (06:55):
These done bills?

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Shure a pilot. I guess there'll be another hour.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
I some coffee?

Speaker 6 (07:01):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Oh No, no thanks, honey, I got enough on my
mind already to keep me awake half the night. Yeah,
gives him bed finally, how Susie?

Speaker 4 (07:10):
Oh, I still got the sniffle, but no temperature. You
should be all right?

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Or did the Ricky get home?

Speaker 5 (07:16):
No?

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Didn't you?

Speaker 5 (07:17):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
I'll have a few words for that young man when
he does. I told him I wanted him back here
by eleven after.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
So Ricky's the least, in my words, he's young enough
to take care of himself.

Speaker 6 (07:28):
Yep, that's a funny thing to say.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
I don't get it.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
I didn't mean he had sounded. I mean he's got
a whole life ahead of him.

Speaker 5 (07:37):
Well, I've been thinking about it all the time I
was doing the dishes. I'm worried about them.

Speaker 6 (07:48):
Your mom and Paul.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
Yeah, you're not getting any younger.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
You know, you're exact aide getting any older than I
can say. I'm kicking up their heels right at a moment,
the drove ballroom, the way they do every Thursday night.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
Well maybe they shouldn't be both of sure.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
And good for the next thirty years.

Speaker 6 (08:06):
Hey, wait a minute.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
They didn't say anything, eh, I mean they both seemed
fine to me.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
I thought Mom looked kind of, you know, gone like drown.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Oh she said she'd been dieting, and that I can
show in the face.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
Boston dieting and cottless just as the Apple chick as ever.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
You know, he told me while you two were in
the kitchen before dinner, he sneaked a little.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Smack here and there.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Mom knows he does.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
And he knows she knows. Your father couldn't do anything
wrong for you. Mother her, he worshiped her just like
she does him. I never saw two like him. They
sure are a perfect fair.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
That's just that's worried Tom. What would they ever do
without each other?

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Way? Come on, take it easy. What kind of a
way is that?

Speaker 6 (08:52):
The thing?

Speaker 4 (08:53):
A lousy way? But I can't help it.

Speaker 5 (08:56):
I mean, I'm going on forty I can't help thinking,
and then my life staff over the more.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
I get too little time left of care and.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Jeane, you've got to snap out of it. You just
keep the house and run the kids and take care
of me the way you do, and stop worrying about
your mom and Pop. They can take care of themselves.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
I hope if anything does happened to them, they go together.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Come on, man, g one just couldn't.

Speaker 5 (09:22):
Live without the other, don't you see the one who
was left would be the worst one.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
And geeh, now you just listen to me. You believe
in God, don't you?

Speaker 4 (09:34):
What a thing to ask?

Speaker 6 (09:35):
Of course, so do I and I know.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
For both of us are the marriage like your mom
and Pop I've had for forty five years, was made
in heaven right right?

Speaker 3 (09:44):
So you see, God wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Give them all that happiness and then take it away. Yeah,
they must be, so that's special in his eyes. So
when the time comes, leave it to him he'll handle it, right.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
You know what, I think? Mom and Pop loved off
on us.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
I love you. I could have dance night. I could
have done so.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
You already did not till good night, sweetheart.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Now the rain came.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
But this was an anniversary. We had that last month,
our wedding anniversary.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
This is different in nineteen forty six, do you remember
my first night home? Actual service? We danced and then
I took you home and carried.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
You over the threshold.

Speaker 5 (10:36):
Well, you've got to get me there first, and in
this rain.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Good luck?

Speaker 4 (10:39):
I don't you know?

Speaker 3 (10:40):
We have all the luck, darling. You need a cam,
no sweat?

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Hey taxi?

Speaker 4 (10:45):
Hey, how did you do that?

Speaker 3 (10:50):
It was easy? You and me? Where God's killing scrambling? Honey?

Speaker 1 (10:54):
I get wis home six twenty five sixty ninth place.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
Do you know how lucky we were to get this chap?

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Do you know how lucky we were to find each other?

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Oh, and it's been such a long, wonderful time.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
It's only the beginning.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
And don't say that or because we've used up for
almost all the time.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
I don't ever think of it that way. We could
have thirty.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Forty years, the whole lifetime.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
That's what I look forward to.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
As long as we have it together.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
It wouldn't matter any of it if we didn't. That's
what I'm afraid of.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
No Am, I I was left alone and I just
assumed it did.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
No, what I only it won't be because we're the
lucky lookout.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
Did you talk to the doctor.

Speaker 6 (11:54):
Tom, Yes, Auntie's mother.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
Can we see now?

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Well there wasn't any point, honey, she's under sedation.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
Did she hurt?

Speaker 3 (12:02):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (12:02):
I don't think so, just shocked? But you know, doctors,
doctor Whyland doesn't want to be coded till all the
tests are?

Speaker 4 (12:08):
And what about Dad?

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Well, the truck sideswiped them on his side. I guess
he got a pretty hard whack on the head.

Speaker 6 (12:14):
He's he's still out.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
I don't think he Oh no, no, no, no, of
course not.

Speaker 5 (12:20):
Oh so what you say things look better for mother
than they do for him.

Speaker 6 (12:25):
I didn't say that.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
If it has to be one of them, that's the
way it should be. It should be.

Speaker 5 (12:31):
Pop to go and thought, you and your father was
my father and I have always been as closed as
any daughter and father can be.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
But how can you?

Speaker 5 (12:41):
Mother and I have been just as close. She's the
one who's stronger if they have to be settled, She's
the one who has at least a chance to adjust.
If mother died, Dad would within like an old vegetable.
But darn it, why does anyone have to die?

Speaker 6 (12:59):
What can I say? Dying as it must?

Speaker 4 (13:02):
All?

Speaker 6 (13:03):
Man?

Speaker 5 (13:03):
Oh, I couldn't hatch you quote a quote the wealth
quote Dylan, do not go gentle into that dark nice? Oh,
something close to that. But mom and Pop could and should,
they would go hand in hand whenever it is. Can't

(13:26):
the Lord arrange it that way?

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Death comes as an uninvited guest, an unwanted woe.

Speaker 6 (13:39):
He comes as an.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Enemy, an antagonist, but he comes to as a friend
and a welcome. Here are two people at the high
tide of life, with so much left to offer and
so much yet to give?

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Is it their time?

Speaker 1 (13:54):
If you had the supreme power to legislate, what sentence
would you pronounce on Ed and Mary Harvey? I shall
return shortly with that too. Who makes the miracles in

(14:18):
a hospital The doctors and the nurses, of course, And
yet for all their vaunted knowledge, their educated skill, the
special cases become as mysterious.

Speaker 6 (14:28):
As life has.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Their treatment, at the last depends on some tremendous effort
of the human spirit or bast divine intervention that becomes
as whimsical a caller on them as he is to
the rest of us. Plain folks, We just want to
keep you for day or two and two we redo
the tests.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
Marrying doctor, you're sure that Ed is out of danger? Oh?

Speaker 6 (14:51):
Yes, is healthy as an ox.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
You have to be one hundred.

Speaker 5 (14:55):
I thought we'd both been killed in that crash.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
Why couldn't we have died together? It would have been perfect.
You can't decide that, Mary, You are not God. It
isn't fair to take me from him.

Speaker 5 (15:12):
It isn't dead time yet, but it is mine too,
And marry very soon. But I can't die when he
needs me. How can I help him? How can I
help him? Trust in God's worthy? He'll show you the way?

Speaker 6 (15:33):
Mary?

Speaker 4 (15:35):
What?

Speaker 5 (15:37):
Oh, you know, it doesn't matter. I couldn't really explain.
It's just something between me and myself.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Okay, he had a subdural, he would tell over. Cleared
up spontaneously. You can take him home and so as
you want to.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
That's wonderful. What about mother?

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, we'd like to keep her for a little more observation.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
Come to the doctor. Didn't think Seoul hurt in the accident.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
That's true enough, But but what No, I don't want
to alarm you, missus Gorman, I he said, call you Angie,
I've known you long enough. Just a couple of routine
tests we took, what should I say, backfired on us.
They have to be done again, just as a precaution.

(16:36):
I can't know about you well, not church.

Speaker 5 (16:40):
Oh he's going to be a wild man. Couldn't you
just head and stay on so he could.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
Go home with mother?

Speaker 6 (16:47):
Angie.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
I can't justify that we need the bed and there's
no reason to keep your father.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
Oh, but there is to keep mother. Are there's something wrong,
something really wrong.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Well, let's not trust any bridges until we until we
have to build a pops, do me a favor.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
When you sit on, I can't come. I keep worrying
about Mary in the.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Hospital, how she's getting the best of care, and Angie's
with her. No, they're not taking any chances until all
the tests are in. It better not be something bad.
I'll get that taxi driver and that taxi company. I'll
very wait a minute, if you look in the suga
after the truck company, the truck siteswapped you, and that
truck company is more money.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
I don't want money to come. I just want marry.

Speaker 6 (17:36):
And you'll have her. She's fine.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
By tomorrow, she could be home come on, get your
mine up if you want to play some gin?

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Why should I play gin? Never win?

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, it's with my mother in law with me, have
a patsy. I'll come an accountant. Don't ask me why.
But I always lose.

Speaker 5 (18:02):
I've got to face it, Angie. This is one time
I can't win. But all the test thirty and the
last ones, but the first one's proved it out. You see,
I've known for a long while that something was very wrong.
The second time around, they'll find the same thing. What Oh,

(18:23):
I don't know if I could give you the correct
name from all the doctor's fancy language back and forth.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
Leukemia. I suppose a cute but they can treat that
today some.

Speaker 5 (18:35):
Forms, most maybe, but not mine. It's irreversible. And what's
that other big word?

Speaker 4 (18:45):
Uh, you're not remissible.

Speaker 5 (18:48):
The merciful thing is it will be very fast. I
was going to tell that about it, no one, But
if you're stuck here in the hospital, I won't be.
I will be coming home, Tim and me no to
add to my own place.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
What I'm going to take care of you.

Speaker 5 (19:11):
I am going to take care of myself, and I
don't want any help from anyone. But Mom, Mom, you can't.
I mean, we'll want me Cain and I have been
living with that for quite a while, Angie, and I'll
live with it till as near the end as I can.
Pop should know, no, he could help you.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
He will help me by just being now the one
I have to ask for help if.

Speaker 5 (19:38):
You, Oh, Mom, anything, but I want you to help me,
convince your father or something.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
I can't.

Speaker 5 (19:47):
When I if I am no longer here, I know
how lost he's gonna be.

Speaker 4 (19:54):
You can say that again. I want you to find someone.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Else for him.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Hold it right here, Mary.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Ahead of the stay of bread. A little me too.
They staying to get steeper every year.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
Well it isn't that.

Speaker 5 (20:18):
It's just you know, five days sitting around that old
hospital doing nothing.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
My knees a little weak.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
I love you, Mary, welcome.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
Oh yeah, I want to stay here forever.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Well we want to do a little Gallopanny too.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
But whatever you want to do, my darling, as long
as I can be with you.

Speaker 6 (20:51):
How long do you think she's got don't you?

Speaker 5 (20:53):
I don't know, doctor, can't he not long?

Speaker 4 (20:59):
Nineteen times we should have kept them here with us. Mother,
wouldn't hear of it? She wants every.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
Minute she can with him. Come then, well, if we
come to worse, taking all of them with us, candy.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
For sure, I guess.

Speaker 6 (21:15):
I mean, what else is the something to do what.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
Mother wants him to do, Find someone to take her place.

Speaker 6 (21:23):
Oh, no way, that's a dead end.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Your mother and father are two habs, are the same mold,
and they broke it the day they met.

Speaker 6 (21:31):
Up with each other.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
I've always thought this was the most beautiful spot in
the world.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
There no argument for me.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
There was a picnic just like this, right under this waterfall.
But I proposed, But this was where I accepted. Wait
a minute, you said, yeah, of course.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
But I'd already said that in my heart the first
time we met.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
It's been a lovely life.

Speaker 5 (22:02):
One reason I've been spending all these weeks, which you're
retracing it.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
What's the other reason?

Speaker 4 (22:08):
Did I like what I think? We ought to untack
and get the picnic laid out. I'm getting hungry.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Nothing until you level with me. We've been having a
wonderful what would you call it, retrospective, delving into the past,
reliving as many of the best moments.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
Of it as we can. Why why is all? Is important? Man,
you don't have to prove anything to me.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
I wasn't trying to prove anything of Just.

Speaker 5 (22:38):
Oh, all these traces and memories of the dumb total
of my life, our life.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
I wanted to taste them once more before before what.

Speaker 5 (22:54):
D darling, I've never asked you for very much half
I down through the year.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
I don't know, because whatever you asked for was already
really given.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
What is it you want?

Speaker 4 (23:06):
A promise?

Speaker 3 (23:08):
A promise of what?

Speaker 4 (23:10):
Would you give it blindly? A promise that whatever I
ask you would try to prociate. Yes, I'm going to
hold you to that when the time comes.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
What's all this mystery?

Speaker 4 (23:23):
Marry oh? Indulge me just a whim.

Speaker 5 (23:27):
I don't want to talk about it now, because the
sun is high and the waterfall makes the rainbow, and
I love you and Gods? Then is heaven an old
right with the world. Now, let's have our picnic lunch
before the ants beat.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
Us to it.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
No one losses like you.

Speaker 5 (23:57):
Married, feeling mutual, that's feeling still mute shore before. You
can't every dance with the same fortunate curl.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
I'm trying to have to change partners.

Speaker 5 (24:11):
For the regularly. Can devailable and what would you do?
Just sit it off and wait all the music?

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Who cares about the music if you don't have the
right partner to.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
Verry wanted it.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
You know, I can't any longer. I can't get me
out of here.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
I'll take you right home.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
No, not home, you get me to die.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
You can see Mary now, and doctor whaling, Joshua. It
can't it can't be terminal ed.

Speaker 6 (24:48):
What can I say? Don't let her die out in
my hands.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
She's been so well these past few weeks, so forth,
so full of life. I've never seen it look better
for act Youl.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
I don't never know what an effort that.

Speaker 6 (25:02):
Must have been. How we are here now?

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Don't make it any harder for her, precious, with the
courage she has.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
Oh Mary Darling, Oh.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
Oh my, don't you look handsome?

Speaker 3 (25:22):
Oh you look beautiful.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
I want to for our last date. Nothing either of
us can do about it. I wanted to see you
for this one.

Speaker 4 (25:36):
Last time, to tell you how much.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
I love you as I love you.

Speaker 5 (25:43):
I know, And that's why I know you will go
back on your promise. What brothers, the blind one I
asked you for? What is it I want you to promise?
Me on your heart of hearts.

Speaker 4 (26:02):
When I'm gone you, he'll look for another girl marry.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
I couldn't look at anyone after you.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
Oh my darling.

Speaker 5 (26:11):
It's very flattering in what I want to hear. But
I've lived with you for close to half a century
and I know you could never.

Speaker 4 (26:20):
Bear to be alone.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
Don't leave me.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
I have to you. Promise you promised the way he
said you were.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
I promise that won't do any good.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
That's enough, Mary, It's all you can do. But he's right,
it won't do any good. He'll never know till he tries,
neither will you. Would you be jellous? No, not of
anything that brought him happiness. Then it's time to go.

(26:58):
You can't fight it any long. Remember he promise.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
You can die in peace, Mary, Mary, don't leave me.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
I have too, sweetheart, ready to be your eyes you see.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
No, No, I can't live without you. The last desperate
cry from the heart of an agonized man. Ed Harvey

(27:46):
is broken by his wife's death. Can he possibly find
someone to take her place? The question to be answered
when I returned shortly.

Speaker 6 (27:54):
With our final act.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Six weeks have passed and d Harvey lost his wife
and Ed has aged six years. In the same time,
he has refused his daughter's invitation to live with them,
and instead has remained hold up in the apartment he
shared with Mary, living a half life, endlessly sifting through
all the mementos of the past. He has been slowly
driving Angie to a pitch of distraction and his son

(28:33):
in law Tom to a barely repressed jury at the
burden he.

Speaker 6 (28:36):
Is putting on their life.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
How sure that really explodes as he lets himself into
the apartment this particular evening. Bob, Hey, Bob, why in
the kitchen. I've brought some Chinese for it?

Speaker 3 (28:51):
My weather?

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Heck, bop, hey, PAP's Tom in the bedroom?

Speaker 6 (29:00):
You in there?

Speaker 3 (29:02):
If Pops?

Speaker 2 (29:02):
If you are up and up you hear me?

Speaker 3 (29:04):
Open up? Hello?

Speaker 1 (29:09):
What are you doing here with the door closs? Whin
chanted the doorbell? I got to use my keys to get.

Speaker 6 (29:15):
Once had you got in your hand?

Speaker 4 (29:17):
This?

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Kevin Louver brought it with me when I came backstage,
so that after the big war.

Speaker 6 (29:23):
Okay, is that thing loaded her?

Speaker 3 (29:25):
The clip in it? You don't have to worry the
safety catches or.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Pops, what were you planning to do with that? Or
just looking through some old things fout it in the
back of a drawer. I even forgot I still had it. Oh,
why don't you just hand it to me? Real careful,
like please, sure.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
If you want me to? Or what'd you think? Tom?
And I was gonna kill myself with it? You ought
to nobody.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Don't you know that to take my own life would
be a mortal sin and I'd never find Mary in
all eternity.

Speaker 6 (29:53):
Just stopped talking about Mom?

Speaker 3 (29:54):
She's dead.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Can't you realize that she's dead? You don't have to
remind no, but maybe I have to remind you about
your daughter and me and you grandchildren.

Speaker 6 (30:01):
We moren Mom too, but.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
We accept the fact no matter how it hurts, because
life has to go on. But you, you just stop
the clock. And the way you're acting is driving everybody
up the wall. Come on, pop, give us all a chance,
including yourself, to live our own lives.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
I can't, Angie, be reasonable.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
That's what I'm asking you to be, harp.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
But it doesn't make any sense. How can I look
at any other woman with your mother?

Speaker 4 (30:29):
You wouldn't have to be crazy in love. We should
be like a compell.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
I had a companion. No one can take her place.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
She didn't have to take her place.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
I should just be someone to get you out of
the house, out of yourself. What do you want me
to do, Angie, Nothing you don't want to do yourself.

Speaker 4 (30:49):
Maybe going back to work with help.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
I don't need to work anymore. I'm retired.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
Well maybe you should. I'm retired.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
I can't go back to the company. Someone else has
my job. Now you want me to deprive him.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
Get another kind of work.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
I have been thinking of it, but that wouldn't really
solve anything. I'd still come home to these empty rooms.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
But then coming up with a Lord knows I got empty.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
It's no solution. I'd only clutter up your life.

Speaker 5 (31:17):
So we come back to where we started. It's just
what mother knew was gonna happen. Oh, popular need companionship?

Speaker 4 (31:26):
Do you need another woman to start a new relationship?

Speaker 7 (31:29):
Where?

Speaker 1 (31:30):
How am I going to meet her? At my age?

Speaker 5 (31:35):
I think it's going to try What what is this
woman now?

Speaker 4 (31:39):
Is he awfully nice? Not commercial or anything?

Speaker 5 (31:43):
I mean it's Gloria Harmon and her organization is called
the Homedy Club.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
They can't be run very modern nothing.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
What kind of a club is it?

Speaker 4 (31:52):
A social place with all more people can meet each other.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
Do you mean the Modling Hearts Club?

Speaker 5 (31:58):
Hope, Poper, don't get it's the wrong idea. It's just
a service, a dating service. It's all done by the computer.
It matches up people, but for they even meet.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
I wouldn't hear of it.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
We're married with lovers of the it.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
That is, if she didn't get mad, you would. Oh
what am I saying?

Speaker 4 (32:19):
You listen to.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
What I ain't saying, because of course she died. It
is mom who read about this place and told me
about it. She's the one who's really suggesting that she
goes there and take a chance.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
I feel like an old fool. You say it was
Mary's idea.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Okay, I'll try it.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Anything's better than what I've.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
Got now, won't you sit down?

Speaker 2 (32:53):
Mister?

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (32:54):
Don't Mary?

Speaker 1 (32:54):
If I do missus hollonbardon or not?

Speaker 4 (32:59):
No?

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (33:01):
In my business, one likes to remain you to.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
You mean you never found a date that would be
right for you?

Speaker 4 (33:06):
And that would be telling, wouldn't it.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
Everything is in a sted confidence and whatever privacy you want.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
To protect when you respect.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
Completely or I don't see how that could work out.
Don't you have to tell the perspective of the lady
something about me?

Speaker 5 (33:22):
You know, that's the hospital operation, mister Harvey. The gentleman
you met outside is mister Phisby, my assistant. Whatever biography
you give w goes to him and he translates it
into a card to see the computer. The computer compares
your life dislikes, all your statistics with thousands of other

(33:43):
members on file from our female clients, and she gets
the possibilities of any or all of our ladies who
might be compatible with yours. Or that's fossils cold not hold,
mister Harvey, obtictive, scientific.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
I don't know what. I'm afraid you put my heart
into this.

Speaker 5 (34:07):
He wouldn't be here if you didn't walk. Now share
we get on with a few basic facts. I have
your name, address, and so on.

Speaker 4 (34:16):
M you're sixty.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Five, yes, the tired Yes, yes.

Speaker 5 (34:22):
Her iron gray eyes hmm, bluish gray, maybe a hint
of green, but that's called the hazel. I'm a lucky
woman going to like those very much.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
At the heart.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
I don't think I can go through with this.

Speaker 5 (34:44):
No, people are doubtful and shy to begin to see
it's an opportunity to find someone to pique your insert.
If you find the right one, could open up horizons
beyond your binness.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
There's nothing I want but what I had on nobody.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
Oh, I don't give it a try.

Speaker 5 (35:13):
Hello, if you Glory, your harmony is the office. It's
a little late for you to be there, Claude, what's
the matter?

Speaker 7 (35:21):
I was heating up tomorrow's appointment and I have a
little problem that had me, will say the lead buffalo.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Edward Harvey. I prepared it card and put it in
the computer. But I can't only.

Speaker 5 (35:35):
Want to read out only one that's such a normal
ordinary man.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
That is possible a computer.

Speaker 5 (35:42):
Definitely you have truly, So then just set up an
appointment with whoever printed out.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
I tried to do that, but again there are problems.

Speaker 7 (35:54):
First of all, I checked the name, but here not you, Masifi.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Not one of our clients.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
Say only that I never interviewed.

Speaker 5 (36:04):
Yes, you have a phone number? You covered and set
up an appointment.

Speaker 7 (36:08):
Follow through and the number I called, what is a
very quick connection? Watch how sort of message.

Speaker 4 (36:16):
Service did they say?

Speaker 3 (36:18):
They relay the message?

Speaker 4 (36:20):
Did they seem reliable?

Speaker 2 (36:21):
All the point that act was very impressive, very reassured.

Speaker 7 (36:25):
Inspite of all the strange sounds in the background, like
the communic in the sphere thissday.

Speaker 4 (36:32):
Are you all right?

Speaker 5 (36:33):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (36:37):
Did you make an appointment for this mystery woman to
show up?

Speaker 2 (36:41):
Yes, tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
Fine, I'll take it from here.

Speaker 5 (36:50):
After, mister Harvey, you're right on the dot.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
I like to try to be on time, but I'm afraid.

Speaker 5 (36:57):
Your partner hasn't got here yet. Oh, would you mind
wading and now get together parlor.

Speaker 4 (37:03):
It's the best. You're on the right. I'll just make
sure and tex repeater. Nothing has gone on the store.
That's right.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
Hello.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
They told me you weren't here for me yet.

Speaker 4 (37:23):
I've always been here for your edge. Wherever you are, Mary,
Who else did you expect? Well?

Speaker 3 (37:30):
The computer?

Speaker 5 (37:31):
Oh what the computers know about love and human being?

Speaker 3 (37:35):
Are only trying to do? What more? You around? You
said you wanted.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
I just found a partner.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
I never thought they could. The good only been you.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
That's what I told them about.

Speaker 5 (37:47):
Uh, where I've been, And they said, if you wanted
to enough, you could be back with me.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
And that's where we are.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
That's where we are.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Where is where they be?

Speaker 4 (38:03):
No argument grasped with the darling.

Speaker 8 (38:06):
If we just called it, there isn't too much I
can tell you. And apparently the moment he walked into
that room and the door closed behind him, it didn't

(38:29):
massive hemorrhage, perhaps from the taxi accident delayed, perhaps the
kind of spontaneous brain leason which can happen any of us.
You saw the expression on his face, the opposite of that.
Whoever the woman waiting for him was, she must have
delighted him, but.

Speaker 5 (38:48):
Acting in the common Oh, nobody in the room, and.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
Maybe he was welcoming eternity, remembering he could live it
with Mary.

Speaker 6 (39:21):
I promised you a love story.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
I didn't promise that it would be within the parameters
of life, because also I promised you a mystery. And
the greatest mysteries of all are the love stories that
transcend said and passed into the history of all times,
as this one can in its small way.

Speaker 6 (39:40):
I shall return shortly.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
A man died in an instantaneously, which is to say, mercifully,
A man who loved one woman all his life telps.
There was a little left in life. When she was
gone from our story. He joined her in the character.

(40:25):
If we want to question that, and then we have
to question what life is all about. I'm willing to
accept red Love conquers all. Our cast included John Deale,
Cherry king E, Ed Justter and Ian Martin. The entire
production was under the direction of Hymon Brown Races E. G.
Marshall Inviting you to return to our mystery theater for
