(00:02):
A journey into the round of thestrain, and tellify I hope you will
enjoy the triple, that it willtrill you a little and kill you a
little. So settle back, geta good grip on your nerve. Where
are we going? You will findout when we get there. Come in

(00:50):
welcome. I'm g Marshall. Tellme do you ever talk to an inanimate
object as if it's alive? No? What about to say your car?
Ever? Give it a name,converse with it like a friend or an
enemy, depending on how it's bathing. No, you've never done that.

(01:15):
Well, then go back a little. When you were a kid, you
didn't believe your doll or Teddy bearloved you as much as you'll did.
Fin you did, so you'll admitthat sometimes an inanimate thing can seem to
have qualities of a living being.Good enough, now I can ask you
not to be too hard on seventyyear old Charlie, who passionately believed are

(01:40):
you ready for this? Believed anelevator he called Nellie was an understanding,
loving friend. Charley is not justtoo old, horror responsible job. He's
a loony. He courts that elevatorlike it's alive, Nelly, He calls
it. It is sweetheart, warnedCharlie, and that broken down. Great

(02:01):
out of here, and that's flat. Our suspense drama Tomorrow Will Never Come
was written especially for the Mystery Theaterby Nancy Moore and stars Robert Dryden.

(02:32):
Her name was Nellie, and shewas a beauty in the eyes of Charlie
Henkel, a treasure unsurpassed by anyelevator anywhere. Nellie was one of those
old fashioned lifts, almost extinct today. She was built of the finest mahogany,
and her meshing door was shining brass. She had two benches upholstered in

(02:55):
red velvet, a big polished mirror, and a little wall vays for flowers.
Charlie's sweetheart. Nellie was, andI'm falling a little in love with
her myself. Mister Frank Greene wasthe landlord of Nellie's small apartment buildings circ.
Nineteen twenty ten floors two apartments toa floor, his own living quarters

(03:16):
and office on the main floor.Fred says, you want to see me,
mister green as right, have asee Jelly. Is Fred running the
elevator? He yes, if itruns, Oh, Nellie runs just fine
for Fred. She likes him,and that's why I let him take over

(03:37):
from midnight to six. She knowshe's the best superintended in New York.
Your idea of the best super isone that goes along with your nonsense about
that full elevator. Please don't saythings like that about my Nellie. I
have a good deal more to sayabout your Nellie. That's why you're here.
What about her? She has togo. I'm replacing her with a

(04:01):
modern elevator. I didn't hear yourOh you hurt me. You're old,
but you're not deaf. I won'trun one of them new fangled elevators,
No, sir, I won't.Well, that's right, you won't.
It'll be run by whatever tenant ridesin it. All they have to do
is press a button and Nellie,Me and Nellie. Just take it easy.

(04:27):
Charlie. I'm sorry, but it'stime that you and that old elevator
both retired. You're seventy and Nellie'sover fifty. Nellie thrown on a junk
keep buttons to take the place ofa man, and mister Green's just please
listen to me. Nellie and me, we're history ancient history. Well,

(04:54):
look at the famous people that rodeup and down with us stairs mayor Jimmy
Walker, real dandy, he wasin his high silk hat. And then
one time Charlie cat Help. Nevermind the famous that you and Nellie partet.
It's a world of automation. Now, how'd you like it if somebody
wanted to replace you with buttons?So I wouldn't sit there and snibble.

(05:15):
Now, talk sense. You knowNellie's past her time. She stalls,
she wheezes when she does run,she creeps. Any day now an inspector
will notice that weakening cable and she'llbe condemned. Well, if you buy
her a new cable, she couldrun another fifty years. Her cable is
cheaper than a whole new plays.Just buy a cable set. No,

(05:41):
I'll buy it myself. I'll buyit with my savings. No, all
right, then you're going to forgetwhat me and Nellie have done for this
building. A fire on six,all the stairways burnish, we brought all
the and then stown not a soulhurt. And that burglar last year he

(06:05):
tied me up with ropes. Hefigured he'd run Nelly himself. She knew
who he was, and she stalledbetween floors. Wouldn't budge held that feet
right there till the police came.I'll right cut the soft stuff, Charlie.
Will the tenants do without us totake care of mister Cats him in

(06:26):
his wheelchair, a new elevator slammingstore right on him, and mister clementson
five B and miss O'Neill, andsure you spoil them all. And while
you're at it, let's mention missHartley. Every durned day you bring that
hasband actress a bottle so she cantipple from morning to night. Sir,
Oh, come off it, Charlie. Everyone knows she's a whiner. No,

(06:50):
sir, I bring his Hartley milkin a pig's eye. Its milk.
She was a great name, isactress, and she never lets us
forget it. The lustrous name PatriciaHartley was in Lights on Broadway for thirty
years. I don't know what she'lldo with me and Nellie go. I've

(07:16):
had all I can stomach of this. Now the discussion is fished, Nellie,
Nellie, and Nellie's finished. She'show blasted you've got me talking like
that thing is human? It's anit, you and it have one week's
notice. Why hell, don't worry. You'll get separent's pain. But a

(07:36):
week from today they'll start installing thenew elevator. What's bid? Fred?
Where was Nellie have her good mannersall true? Because she was a little
shaky Charlie. You know every timeshe started up, she you're kind of

(07:57):
shuddered. She was worried about me. Well from the luckiest she had a
right to be. What's wrong,old friend? Huh, Hey, can't
tell you your friend? And Nellie, oh, we'll step away from her,
come on over here slightly as sheknows anyhow. Nellie knows things well,

(08:18):
I don't so tell me, misterGreen, he says it me and
Nellie, you don't have to tellme. I knew it was in the
air. I just hope it wouldn'thappen. Charlie, you know how sorry
I am. And so will allthe tenants be? Not all mister Norton,

(08:41):
maybe mister grant them. Neither ofthem has lived here long. That's
why one week, one more week, no Ah, some kind of way,
Nelly and he will figure out howto stay. I was wrong to
say I wouldn't tell her. Igot to Oh you're sure, sir,

(09:03):
Sure you'll find a winner. It'sthe surest thing you know. Yes,
we will. You'll bucher. You'reright, Charlie, Yeah, it will
be. After I talked to Nellie. Nellie, do you miss miss sweet
High? What does she say whenyou ask her that? It's a pity
you can't hear. She's got areal sweet voice, and she talks kind

(09:24):
of old fashioned. She said,Charley, I missed you more than tongue
and tell old fashioned. Well we'reoff Nellie before we start. You know
what mister g said. We've gotbad trouble. It's just you don't know

(09:48):
what it is. Huh. Tellyou after we take miss Heart, leave
her milk, and you and mewill go clear her up to the top
and talk. Charlie, Oh,come in this hard day. I'll be
up there in the hip. I'llwait in my apartment. Nelly. It

(10:11):
means she's lonesome. Would your realbad if I don't stop into her apartment
and talk. He'll be patient withyou, but you would need a lot
to do. You got to outsmartHenry Green. He would meet together.
We've been together fifty years and that'show we're going to stay here we are.

(10:35):
I'll just be right across the hallcollege you need me, and I'll
leave Miss Harby's door open so asI can hear your buzz. I'll be
back in five ten minutes. Comein, dear Charlie, and uh welcome,

(10:56):

And he's like always so he is. I really should get a glass,
shouldn't I? No matter? Nowtell me the new me. You're keeping

(11:48):
something back. There's a quality inyour voice. Now you tell me I
can't talk about it's not until Italk with Nelly. You wouldn't like it
if I would just be, Oh, she's calling, I got to go.
Yes, I hear her call.You really do hear Nelly? Certainly
I hear, but not always.Just sometimes the milk, Yes, the

(12:18):
milk, JUDI of arc her voices, and ever since I played her,
I've had my own voices. That'snice. Goodbye Miss Hartley, Goodbye,
goodbye Charlie, my love to Nellie. Here we are, Nelly, here,

(12:43):
upped up by the roof where weliked it best. Now I'll tell
you about mister Green. Now whyyou knew all the time? Oh it's
you, my smart girl. SoNelly, what can we do to stop
him? Why? You know how? Tell me? Yes, yes,

(13:16):
that's what do you think we shoulddo? Oh? I don't own at
least do that, and I dosee it could be the only way.
Oh, of course, I ain'tafraid, not with you. But if
some other way turns up, thenwe won't have to do that. It's

(13:41):
our secus. We won't tell asoul. No, but I didn't say
I wasn't willing. I am.I am an. A kind of what
mister G wants to do to usis murdered, Nellie. It's murder,
murderer, an extreme reckless word notto Charlie. For an ordinary doomed elevator,

(14:09):
the word would be destroyed. Thesame fate plan for Nellie was in
Charlie's mind. Cold blooded murder Charlieis an adult old man. You say
that teddy bear in your childhood,if someone took it away toward it to
shreds, wouldn't you have said thatperson killed it? Then, in charity

(14:30):
say Charlie is a childlike old man, and like a child is it ready
to go to any lengths to savehis Nellie? We will learning that too
if he succeeds. We have Charliean old, old gentleman. We have

(15:00):
Nelly, an old old elevator,and regrettably we have mister Green. That
man of Flint gave one week's noticeto Charlie and Nelly. Four days have
passed by. Now all tenants haveheard of the improvement their landlord intends Henry
Green, expecting gratitude what as hehad? Instead complaints tears from nine B

(15:26):
downright himsults to what avail done?The fancy new steel and poor Mica?
What an operated elevator will be installedas planned? Not if the tenants have
their way. Here's one of themnow knocking in mister W. W.
Norton's door. Three A, whereis it? It is? Patricia A.

(15:50):
Hartlegh Well, Miss Hartley? Towhat while old is honor certain we've
not been very neighborly since you tookup residence here. Fact is you've been
insuperably rude to almost everyone in thebuilding. But all that must be forgotten

(16:11):
in our common life. We havea common place. Am I to be
kept standing in a drafty hallway whileI am oh, my apologies, A
do step inside? Thank you?Would you care to sit down, miss
Hardly, Yes, mister Norton,I am here about the petition. I
thought so, we the undersigned protests, the booting auto, Charlie Henkel,

(16:37):
and he is in namorata. No, lady, I am not signing any
such petition, but we need everyonesignature. Every tenant had signs except you.
You have a sharp tongue, butI do know you have a kind
heart. I am not signing inthree days. Exit Ellie, and good

(17:00):
riddance. You cannot possibly mean that. I think of all the devoted years
Nellie has carried his up and down, up and down, and the old
girl's got asthma, writers, andthe bends onward and upward with the times.
Lady Nellie can't move onward or upward, or does she can? She

(17:22):
does when she's not stalled between floors. Oh what a bit, Charlie.
Do you want to be rid ofCharlie. Look, he's a nice old
carter, but he's cracked as anegg and it's time he's put out the
pasture. Oh, oh, haveyou no fitty? When I played Desdemona,

(17:48):
Iago had more compassion than you.Oh sir, you got to sign
you must you good lord? Yourcruel and selfish, beefly and humor y
is hardly fred He just maybe thatyou saved my life. Oh, Freddy,

(18:08):
I figured you might need some helpmis hardly. Oh what is this
a conspiracy? Osi? No,no, no, no, don't go
all right, don't cry out.I'll talk to mister Norton. Are you
pushing that petition too? Well?Save your friend doesn't care, Charlie,
Miss Hardley, go along home.I'll be down to see in a little

(18:30):
while. You talk to me withFreddy. He's les, yes, yes
he will, he will not justgo along? Now? What is this
thread? What do you care aboutthat fool petition? Well, the staff

(18:51):
wants Charlie and Nellie to stay tostaff. That's you that all right?
Me? Use your head. Charlieis not just too old for a responsible
job. He's a loony. Hecourts that elevator like it's alive Nellie,
his sweetheart, who does it harm? He calls it Nellie because when a

(19:15):
young Charlie first came here, hedid have a sweetheart named Nellie. That's
a new to us. No,No, it's true, it's true.
She died an all time and itlives here. Told me. For a
while Charlie talked to his loss Nellielike he was trying to call her back,
And then after time went by,well, he just transferred her name

(19:37):
to his elevator. A pretty yarn. Even if true, it doesn't change
the facts. I pay for servicehere and I don't get it. I
have to walk up and down moreoften than I ride, So you won't
sign. Who would it cut anyice? If I did. The Green

(19:57):
won't pay any attention to it.If Charlie's let up and he loses Nelly,
it'll kill him. Now. Youwant that to be on your conscience,
It won't be on my conscience.I'm not exactly bond of broken down
actresses either. That old Dollar isstill acting. You should have heard her.

(20:18):
No under she knocks off a coupleof bottles of that rot got wine
a day so would you if youwere dying. But that's right, she
is dying some kind of slow blooddisease. Oh that's her story more theatric
No, no, no, no, no no. She never said a
word to anyone. Her doctor comeshere. She told me, well,

(20:45):
I'm sorry and her shoes. Imight drown my sorrows. That doesn't mean
I want her up here, orwash and wine and tears this way out?
Fred? Will you? Will youthink about the petition? Huh?

(21:11):
Who is it now? Good morning? No way, I am about the
same, locked in your office toinstagren these days, leave visitor unlocked.
Half the tenants are crashing here,had a bellyful of them all weeks.
Now it's Charlie's last day. Andif I know, and not the word

(21:32):
out of you about it either,No, those are yesterday. Patricia hotly
marched in Totter's in with a tenant'spetition. Had a good at Gennim or
Charlie. I told you to buttonup about Charlie. Your orders for the
day, sir, Yeah, One, tell any tenant that hollers for me

(21:56):
that I'm out of town. Twowouldn't surprise me if Charlie a little lottier
than usual. His last day atall, for peat's sake, tied to
calm him down. No, he'sbeen real calm all this week, wouldn't
you say, I mean, consideringwhat's on his mind? Yeah, they
passed me. He hasn't even beenin here. What do you think he's

(22:18):
up to? Well, what couldhe be up to? She hasn't anywhere
to turn? And kind of foxylook every time I saw him, right,
he and that elevator. I wonthe war. Well, he did
say a couple of times he knowhe have a secret far away. Yeah,

(22:40):
yeah, yeah, yeah when hesaid it, he did have a
foxy look. I thank the Lord. After today he's out of here,
he'll be more than that. Andwhat does that mean? It means he'll
be dead. Why losing Nellie'll killhim. Oh that's a cheap shot,
Fred. I'm only doing what anysensible man would do if any regard for

(23:06):
his tenants safety. About tomorrow,the electrician from Armstrong Elevator Company will be
here. You'll disconnect now our elevator. About an hour later the records come.
You got that, yes, sir, mister brad Green. Now,
Lord forgot to bowt the door Iam very busy, Miss Hartley. Indeed

(23:30):
you are busy, busy destroying aman's life. Here much says it is
money to buy a new cable forNelly. I personally took up a collection.
There is also enough to pay Charlie'ssalary for three more months. That's
a warm the cockles of your pennypinching heart, if you have a heart.
The tenants have bought a three monthsreprieve for Nelly. Let tenants have

(23:53):
bought nothing. Take back the money, Miss Hartley, and you Fred take
miss Hardly out of this office,Nellie. We wanted one for nah little

No room anymore for what's beautiful.It's gone up. The spouse six piece

that on this day an elevator isto be dismantled. What happens now to
Charlie's promise that he'll never let anyonetake Nellie away? And what of their
secret plan that is to save themboth a secret, Charlie thinks. Nellie

(28:15):
told him, But it was conjured, of course, within his own mind.
Promises and secrets, and something morewill soon be dealt with when I
return with Act three. It wasRobert Browning who wrote the lines grow old

(28:45):
along with me. The best isyet to be the last of life for
which the first was made. Indeed, Charlie and Nellie have grown old together.
But is the best yet to be? Or the worst? Judging by
the paper? The super staring atthe worst is at hand. This thing
