- 2:30Speaker 8: Hi, I'm Gerald. As a full-time carer, I was on
- 2:33Speaker 8: my feet all day. I developed plantar fasciitis and was
- 2:37Speaker 8: barely able to walk. I went to Foot Solutions where
- 2:40Speaker 8: I got a full foot assessment and gait analysis. They
- 2:42Speaker 8: recommended custom-made orthotics and supportive footwear. Within a couple of weeks,
- 2:47Speaker 8: the pain was gone and I was back to being
- 2:49Speaker 8: able to support my husband. Foot Solutions helped me to
- 2:51Speaker 8: keep going when I really needed to.

- 3:05Speaker 7: Autolite and its 96,000 dealers present The Bend. Tonight, Autolite
- 3:16Speaker 7: brings you a story of a man who tries to
- 3:18Speaker 7: save a girl's life.
- 3:19Speaker 9: A story we call The Rescue.
- 3:21Speaker 6: Starring Mr.
- 3:23Speaker 10: James Stewart. The Rescue.
- 3:29Speaker 9: Hiya, Senator. What's legislating?
- 3:31Speaker 11: Well, Wilcox, I'm sponsoring a bill that would make it
- 3:34Speaker 11: mandatory to have spark plugs checked every 4,000 to 5,000
- 3:37Speaker 11: miles by auto light spark plug dealers. Well, that's a
- 3:40Speaker 11: great idea, Senator, because old worn-out spark plugs frequently cause
- 3:44Speaker 11: cars to lose their pep and power.
- 3:46Speaker 9: Be slow and jerky in traffic and not up to
- 3:48Speaker 9: par on the hills. That's just it, Harlow.
- 3:50Speaker 12: And I'm mentioning Autolite.
- 3:52Speaker 9: Spark plug dealers because... I know. I know, Senator.
- 3:55Speaker 11: Because only Autolite spark plug dealers have the exclusive Autolite
- 3:58Speaker 11: plug check indicator to quickly show you the condition of
- 4:01Speaker 11: your spark plugs and whether they're right for your style
- 4:04Speaker 11: of driving. And they have all the tools and equipment, too,
- 4:07Speaker 11: to offer the best spark plug service that money can buy.
- 4:10Speaker 6: You're right, Harlow.
- 4:11Speaker 11: Well, of course I am, Senator. Because when replacements are needed,
- 4:15Speaker 11: only Autolite spark plug dealers can offer you ignition-engineered Autolite
- 4:19Speaker 11: standard or resistor-type spark plugs for smoother performance, quick starts,
- 4:23Speaker 11: and gas savings.
- 4:24Speaker 9: You've won the day, Harlow.
- 4:26Speaker 11: So, friends, see your neighborhood Autolite spark plug dealer this week.
- 4:30Speaker 11: Have him check your spark plugs.
- 4:31Speaker 9: And remember, you're.
- 4:33Speaker 7: Always right with Autolite. And now, with the rescue and
- 4:37Speaker 7: the performance of Mr. James Stewart, Autolite hopes once again
- 4:41Speaker 7: to keep you in the sun.
- 4:51Speaker 10: Mr.
- 4:51Speaker 9: Occupant's office. I'm sorry he's out at the moment.
- 4:55Speaker 10: May I take a message?
- 4:55Speaker 5: A routine office lie. You protect yourself that way from
- 5:00Speaker 5: the world outside.
- 5:03Speaker 10: My private office was sound proof, violence proof.
- 5:06Speaker 5: I was removed from the world as a monk's cell,
- 5:09Speaker 5: and that's the way I wanted it.
- 5:12Speaker 13: Mine was a respectable public relations job for a national
- 5:16Speaker 13: committee with headquarters in Wardman, one of the oldest and
- 5:19Speaker 13: most respectable hotels in the capital. It was a March
- 5:23Speaker 13: day of sudden warmth, the kind of pre-spring day you
- 5:27Speaker 13: got in Washington.
- 5:29Speaker 10: The air conditioning wasn't on yet. The window was open.
- 5:32Speaker 10: The window was open. And it was through that window
- 5:36Speaker 10: that the world of violence suddenly came to me. In
- 5:39Speaker 10: a way I shall never forget. I was dictating to
- 5:42Speaker 10: my secretary.
- 5:43Speaker 9: Shall I read that last sentence, Mr. Atherton? Yes, Helen,
- 5:46Speaker 9: please do.
- 5:47Speaker 10: Your recent contribution couldn't have arrived at a more timely
- 5:50Speaker 10: moment nor in a more timely amount.
- 5:52Speaker 12: In fact... In fact, it may make the difference... Oh, heavens,
- 5:56Speaker 12: what's that? Oh, what is it, Helen?
- 6:00Speaker 10: A girl.
- 6:00Speaker 9: A girl.
- 6:01Speaker 12: She's on the ledge outside the window.
- 6:02Speaker 9: What?
- 6:03Speaker 6: They're trying to get her back into her room. Don't
- 6:05Speaker 6: grab that or she'll jump.
- 6:06Speaker 13: Oh, Mr.
- 6:07Speaker 9: Atherton, how horrible. She's going to jump.
- 6:10Speaker 12: Karen, what are you doing out there? Don't just stand there.
- 6:16Speaker 12: Now go back to your room. If you jump, it
- 6:19Speaker 12: won't be a pretty death, you know. You'll go right
- 6:22Speaker 12: through that glass marquee down there.
- 6:24Speaker 9: Mr.
- 6:24Speaker 10: Atherton, I feel sick.
- 6:27Speaker 12: Go on now.
- 6:28Speaker 6: Now go back to your room.
- 6:29Speaker 10: Come on, now.
- 6:31Speaker 12: They'll help you.
- 6:32Speaker 10: No, they won't.
- 6:32Speaker 12: They'll kill me.
- 6:34Speaker 10: It was the first thing she said.
- 6:41Speaker 5: And as she said it, she looked straight at me
- 6:43Speaker 5: with large, desperate eyes.
- 6:46Speaker 10: She was a beautiful girl. I noticed that.
- 6:49Speaker 5: And it seemed to make what she was about to
- 6:50Speaker 5: do all the more terrible. The other windows of the
- 6:53Speaker 5: hotel were open. People leaned out of them, watching. Just
- 6:57Speaker 5: behind her and... The room catacorner to mine was a
- 7:00Speaker 5: nurse in a husky-looking man in a white intern's jacket.
- 7:04Speaker 10: They were tense, silent.
- 7:06Speaker 12: They're trying to take me away from here. And then
- 7:09Speaker 12: they'll kill me.
- 7:10Speaker 5: No, no.
- 7:11Speaker 12: Now get a hold of yourself. It's just a nurse
- 7:14Speaker 12: and an intern.
- 7:15Speaker 6: He says he's Dr. Broome, but he isn't.
- 7:17Speaker 12: There he is, see? There is a Dr.
- 7:21Speaker 11: Broome.
- 7:22Speaker 10: I'm Dr.
- 7:23Speaker 12: Broome, and this girl is my patron.
- 7:25Speaker 13: We're trying to get her to a hospital, and you
- 7:26Speaker 13: can all help us prevent a fatal accident by leaving
- 7:28Speaker 13: your windows and revealing her audience.
- 7:31Speaker 9: No, Dr. Broome.
- 7:32Speaker 10: Dr.
- 7:33Speaker 12: Broome says I'm not sick.
- 7:35Speaker 10: Oh, please, please.
- 7:37Speaker 9: If you'll just.
- 7:37Speaker 6: Stand on your windowsill and hold out your hand, I.
- 7:40Speaker 12: Think I could reach it and get to your room.
- 7:41Speaker 11: If you'll try that, sir, it will hold you responsible
- 7:44Speaker 11: for whatever accident occurs.
- 7:46Speaker 12: Now, help us persuade her to come back.
- 7:48Speaker 10: No!
- 7:49Speaker 6: I'm done for.
- 7:50Speaker 9: I have warned you, sir.
- 7:51Speaker 10: Won't you.
- 7:53Speaker 6: Oh, won't you just vote out your tan?
- 7:54Speaker 12: Oh, don't you think you could go back to your
- 7:57Speaker 12: own window? It's much closer for you.
- 7:59Speaker 6: If you won't help me, at least phone Dr. Boone,
- 8:02Speaker 6: then you'll know.
- 8:04Speaker 10: Call him.
- 8:05Speaker 6: Oh, please, call him.
- 8:07Speaker 10: Oh, look.
- 8:08Speaker 9: The doctor, what's he doing?
- 8:09Speaker 10: Hey, don't cry that.
- 8:10Speaker 12: You couldn't hold her, she jumped.
- 8:11Speaker 9: Yes, he couldn't.
- 8:12Speaker 10: What a silly thing to do.
- 8:14Speaker 5: Behind her, the doctor suddenly climbed out on the windowsill
- 8:17Speaker 5: and reached towards her, as she'd asked me to do.
- 8:20Speaker 5: With my warning, she'd moved a few feet along the ledge,
- 8:23Speaker 5: away from her window.
- 8:25Speaker 10: And that was my responsibility. That involved me. You'll phone Dr. Broome?
- 8:31Speaker 9: You will? You will?
- 8:33Speaker 10: Shall I get him for you, Mr.
- 8:35Speaker 9: Atherton?
- 8:35Speaker 10: Well, wouldn't it be quicker to just phone downstairs? I'm
- 8:37Speaker 10: sure that'll know.
- 8:40Speaker 12: Everything we can.
- 8:41Speaker 6: Pardon me. Main desk.
- 8:43Speaker 10: This is Mr.
- 8:44Speaker 9: Atherton.
- 8:45Speaker 10: I want to find out about the girl.
- 8:46Speaker 9: On the fourth floor, like everyone else in the hotel... We're.
- 8:48Speaker 10: Terribly sorry, Mr. Abbott.
- 8:50Speaker 6: The ambulance is waiting at the side entrance. And if
- 8:52Speaker 6: you'll just bear with us, I'm sure everything will be.
- 8:54Speaker 5: No, I'm not making a complaint. I just want to
- 8:57Speaker 5: find out who she is, who the doctor is.
- 8:59Speaker 9: Oh, of course, of course, Mr. Abbott.
- 9:01Speaker 6: Why, she's just a government girl. Her name is Hillary Sellers.
- 9:04Speaker 6: And she and her mother came here last fall.
- 9:06Speaker 9: Her mother?
- 9:07Speaker 10: Where's her mother now?
- 9:08Speaker 9: Well, it's not a coincidence, Mr.
- 9:09Speaker 6: Abbott, but she had a suicide several weeks ago. Oh,
- 9:13Speaker 6: not here in the hotel, you understand. And I can
- 9:14Speaker 6: assure you today is the first time.
- 9:16Speaker 9: Never mind that.
- 9:17Speaker 10: Tell me... Who's in there with the girl now?
- 9:19Speaker 6: Why, that's her doctor and the nurse and.
- 9:21Speaker 10: And is his name Dr.
- 9:22Speaker 7: Broome?
- 9:23Speaker 10: Is that Dr. Broome? Yes, yes, that's right, Dr.
- 9:25Speaker 7: Broome.
- 9:26Speaker 10: Are you sure it's he?
- 9:27Speaker 12: Oh, certainly.
- 9:27Speaker 6: You see, he came to take her to a hospital
- 9:29Speaker 6: and he promised there'd be no trouble. And then this
- 9:32Speaker 6: had to happen, but I assure you.
- 9:34Speaker 5: I sat there for a moment, angered by the brutal
- 9:37Speaker 5: indifference of the clerk.
- 9:39Speaker 10: And I stood up and I went to the window.
- 9:41Speaker 10: She was still there on the ledge, waiting, quiet and motionless.
- 9:49Speaker 6: Did you call him?
- 9:50Speaker 10: Hillary, listen to me.
- 9:54Speaker 12: Now, Dr.
- 9:55Speaker 5: Bruin is a psychiatrist, isn't he?
- 9:58Speaker 10: Yes. And your mother... committed suicide, didn't she?
- 10:02Speaker 11: Yes.
- 10:04Speaker 9: Yes, but.
- 10:05Speaker 10: But now you must face the facts.
- 10:07Speaker 9: Now, you're sick, and the doctor is just trying to.
- 10:10Speaker 10: Help you so that what happened to your mother won't.
- 10:12Speaker 9: Happen to you. No. No, Dr. Broome said it wouldn't.
- 10:16Speaker 9: I'm not sick.
- 10:17Speaker 5: Oh, but you're proving you're sick by standing out there
- 10:19Speaker 5: and risking your life. Now, now, go back to your window.
- 10:23Speaker 5: They'll help you.
- 10:23Speaker 10: She just stared at me for a moment, and then
- 10:32Speaker 10: she moved.
- 10:34Speaker 5: Slowly, she inched her way backwards until she reached the window.
- 10:38Speaker 5: The nurse and the intern helped her inside. The window
- 10:41Speaker 5: was closed behind her, the curtain drawn. In a moment,
- 10:45Speaker 5: people began to leave their windows.
- 10:46Speaker 10: I left mine, and that was that. Except that it wasn't.
- 10:58Speaker 10: I tried to take up the day's business again. It failed.
- 11:03Speaker 10: That face.
- 11:05Speaker 9: That voice.
- 11:06Speaker 5: The tragedy of Hillary Sellers kept intruding like a bad conscience.
- 11:10Speaker 10: And finally I gave it all up. I dismissed Helen
- 11:12Speaker 10: for the rest of the day and I went down
- 11:13Speaker 10: to the lobby with a pack of cigarettes.
- 11:15Speaker 5: And then I found myself heading down the hall, irresistibly
- 11:20Speaker 5: drawn to the side entrance.
- 11:22Speaker 10: At the side entrance stood the ambulance.
- 11:26Speaker 5: No one was about and after a moment I hurried
- 11:27Speaker 5: back into the hall. And there, as I passed the elevator,
- 11:32Speaker 5: I saw what was now the last thing in the
- 11:33Speaker 5: world I wanted to see.
- 11:36Speaker 10: The doors opened.
- 11:37Speaker 5: I stepped back out of the way of the right
- 11:39Speaker 5: end of the hall and I wanted to turn my back,
- 11:42Speaker 5: but I didn't.
- 11:43Speaker 10: We always cast a side-long glance at horror. And so
- 11:48Speaker 10: I stood there, and.
- 11:50Speaker 5: I watched the motionless figure on the stretcher, covered by
- 11:53Speaker 5: a sheet. They'd given me some sort of drug.
- 11:58Speaker 10: The intern carried one end, Dr. Boo on the other.
- 12:02Speaker 10: The ambulance was loaded with its quiet cargo, and it left.
- 12:08Speaker 10: And the thing was over. It was done. But then,
- 12:14Speaker 10: I played the fool. I did something I knew better
- 12:17Speaker 10: than to do, but I had to. I just, I
- 12:19Speaker 10: had to do it. I found a phone booth in
- 12:21Speaker 10: the lobby, in a phone booth. Let's see now. Let's
- 12:24Speaker 10: do that. Let's see, are you on a phone? Kimball. K-I-2-A-3.
- 12:47Speaker 9: Dr.
- 12:47Speaker 10: Brune's office.
- 12:48Speaker 7: Is.
- 12:49Speaker 9: Is Dr.
- 12:50Speaker 10: Brune in?
- 12:52Speaker 6: Who's calling, please?
- 12:54Speaker 9: Is Dr.
- 12:54Speaker 10: Brune in?
- 12:56Speaker 8: Why, who is it?
- 12:57Speaker 9: Please.
- 12:57Speaker 10: This is Atherton. Lee. Lee Atherton.
- 13:01Speaker 9: Yes, Dr.
- 13:01Speaker 10: Brune is in, Mr.
- 13:02Speaker 6: Atherton, but he's with a patient.
- 13:03Speaker 9: At the moment.
- 13:04Speaker 10: He's there. He can't be.
- 13:06Speaker 9: I beg your pardon.
- 13:09Speaker 6: He is and has been for half an hour.
- 13:26Speaker 9: Autolite is bringing you Mr. James Stewart in The Rescue.
- 13:29Speaker 7: Tonight's production in radio's outstanding theater of thrills, Suspense.
- 13:45Speaker 11: Wilcox, what's the name of that committee against old, worn-out
- 13:48Speaker 11: spark plugs?
- 13:49Speaker 9: Why, Senator, that's not a committee. That's the Exclusive Autolite
- 13:53Speaker 9: Plug Check Indicator, a special device to quickly show.
- 13:56Speaker 11: You the condition of your spark plugs and whether they're
- 13:59Speaker 11: right for your style of driving. It's used by Autolite
- 14:02Speaker 11: spark plug dealers, along with their other tools and equipment.
- 14:05Speaker 11: to give you the best spark plug service that money
- 14:08Speaker 11: can buy.
- 14:08Speaker 12: Can I count on that, Wilcox?
- 14:10Speaker 9: You sure can, Senator. And that's not all.
- 14:13Speaker 11: Because your Autolite spark plug dealer will replace old, worn-out
- 14:16Speaker 11: spark plugs with ignition-engineered Autolite. Standard or resistive spark plugs
- 14:21Speaker 11: to give you smoother performance, quick starts, and gas savings.
- 14:25Speaker 11: These are the spark plugs you know that are designed
- 14:27Speaker 11: by the same engineers who designed complete ignition systems.
- 14:30Speaker 9: For many leading makes of our finest cars.
- 14:33Speaker 12: I'll cast my vote for you, Harlow.
- 14:36Speaker 11: So, friends, take a tip from me and see your
- 14:38Speaker 11: neighborhood Autolite spark plug dealer soon. Ask him to check
- 14:41Speaker 11: your spark plugs with the exclusive Autolite plug check indicator.
- 14:46Speaker 11: And remember, you're always right with Autolite.
- 14:49Speaker 7: And now, Autolite brings back to our Hollywood soundstage Mr.
- 14:53Speaker 7: James Stewart in Elliot Lewis's transcribed production of The Rescue.
- 14:58Speaker 9: A tale well calculated to keep you in.
- 15:01Speaker 14: offense Listen to me.
- 15:14Speaker 10: This is terribly important. I want to know if you're
- 15:17Speaker 10: absolutely certain that Dr. Bruin is in his office. Did
- 15:20Speaker 10: you actually see him when he came in?
- 15:21Speaker 6: Of course he's here. I was in the consulting room
- 15:24Speaker 6: with him when the phone rang just now. May I
- 15:27Speaker 6: ask why?
- 15:27Speaker 10: Well, then... I've got to talk to him. Come on,
- 15:29Speaker 10: get in.
- 15:30Speaker 6: Well, hold on.
- 15:36Speaker 10: Hello? Dr.
- 15:37Speaker 11: Bruin?
- 15:38Speaker 9: Yes, Dr.
- 15:38Speaker 6: Bruin.
- 15:39Speaker 9: This is Lee Atherton, doctor.
- 15:40Speaker 10: You don't know me. But I've got to find out
- 15:43Speaker 10: if Hillary Slurs is a patient of yours.
- 15:45Speaker 9: Do you know her?
- 15:46Speaker 6: What happened to her?
- 15:46Speaker 10: Where is she?
- 15:47Speaker 5: I don't know, but a man impersonating you just drove
- 15:49Speaker 5: her away from the Wardman Hotel in an ambulance.
- 15:51Speaker 6: Yes, call the district police.
- 15:53Speaker 10: Get Lieutenant Roger on the phone.
- 15:54Speaker 11: Dr.
- 15:55Speaker 9: Bruin.
- 15:55Speaker 12: I'll explain very quickly, Mr.
- 15:56Speaker 9: Atherton.
- 15:57Speaker 6: Hillary Tellers came to see me yesterday for the first time.
- 16:00Speaker 9: Told me Kirk Radin was treating her mother. Now, Radin
- 16:02Speaker 9: is an unlicensed quack.
- 16:03Speaker 10: Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute, Doctor. I thought
- 16:05Speaker 10: her mother committed suicide.
- 16:07Speaker 6: Supposedly, she jumped in the window in Radin's office.
- 16:09Speaker 10: But she didn't?
- 16:10Speaker 9: I think she was thrown.
- 16:12Speaker 10: You mean Radin murdered her?
- 16:14Speaker 9: Yes. And I informed the police of it this morning.
- 16:16Speaker 9: But how do you know?
- 16:17Speaker 6: Hillary told me Radin was treating her mother for a
- 16:19Speaker 6: heart condition with some sort of electrical apparatus.
- 16:22Speaker 10: Yes?
- 16:23Speaker 6: I checked the apparatus with the police this morning. It
- 16:24Speaker 6: would be dangerous even to a.
- 16:26Speaker 9: Person with a normal heart.
- 16:27Speaker 10: Oh, I see. But why is Radin after Hillary?
- 16:31Speaker 6: Because he thinks she knows what he's done and he's
- 16:32Speaker 6: got to get rid of her.
- 16:34Speaker 10: He got out of his office this morning, Doctor, before
- 16:35Speaker 10: the police arrived. But I'm sure she doesn't know about this.
- 16:38Speaker 9: No, she believed it was suicide.
- 16:40Speaker 6: And she's never even met Radin.
- 16:42Speaker 10: I see.
- 16:43Speaker 6: Here's your call, Doctor.
- 16:44Speaker 10: Oh, all right.
- 16:45Speaker 9: Goodbye, Mr. Atkinson.
- 16:46Speaker 10: Goodbye, Doctor. And then I called the police, too. Gave
- 16:55Speaker 10: them all the information I had. John thought there was
- 16:58Speaker 10: nothing to do but wait.
- 17:00Speaker 5: Later, as I walked through the lobby, I passed a
- 17:02Speaker 5: woman seated in a chair that faced the elevator.
- 17:06Speaker 10: She was utterly nondescript, wearing dark clothes and a black hat.
- 17:10Speaker 5: But after I entered the elevator, I gave her a
- 17:14Speaker 5: second look through the glass.
- 17:15Speaker 10: There was something about that face.
- 17:18Speaker 5: This whole dreadful business was discoloring everything. Helen had left
- 17:33Speaker 5: the door open for me and I walked through the
- 17:34Speaker 5: ante room into my office. I went over to the
- 17:38Speaker 5: desk and sat down.
- 17:40Speaker 10: I lit a cigarette. Hello.
- 17:44Speaker 7: Mr.
- 17:45Speaker 6: Everton?
- 17:46Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 17:46Speaker 6: Lieutenant Rogers, District Police. I thought you'd like to know
- 17:49Speaker 6: that the ambulance has been located abandoned on a side
- 17:51Speaker 6: street in Georgetown.
- 17:52Speaker 12: I'll let you know when we catch him.
- 17:53Speaker 10: I'm going down there myself. Good. Fine. Thank you very much,
- 17:56Speaker 10: Lieutenant Rogers. Goodbye.
- 17:57Speaker 11: Goodbye.
- 18:04Speaker 10: And then, again, I did something I didn't want to do,
- 18:07Speaker 10: but I had to. It was that woman in the lobby.
- 18:10Speaker 10: I had to take another look at that woman in
- 18:12Speaker 10: the lobby. I took the elevator down, got out. She
- 18:17Speaker 10: was still there, sitting in her chair. She was talking
- 18:20Speaker 10: to a man who stood beside her, his back was
- 18:22Speaker 10: to me.
- 18:22Speaker 5: As I walked by, I looked at her very carefully,
- 18:26Speaker 5: and suddenly I recognized her.
- 18:28Speaker 10: It was the nurse, out of uniform. I looked at
- 18:31Speaker 10: the man. Yeah, great man. And in that instant, I
- 18:35Speaker 10: understood everything.
- 18:37Speaker 5: Somehow, they had lost Hillary in the hotel, carried the
- 18:40Speaker 5: murder out on the stretcher, and laid a false trail
- 18:42Speaker 5: to Georgetown with the ambulance. And now they returned to
- 18:45Speaker 5: find her, a killer while they still had the chance.
- 18:49Speaker 5: But then the safest spot in Washington was the hotel.
- 18:51Speaker 5: For Hillary, it was a death trap.
- 18:53Speaker 10: I went quickly into a phone booth and started to
- 18:55Speaker 10: call the police.
- 18:56Speaker 5: And then I saw Radin suddenly jerk his head upward
- 18:59Speaker 5: toward the mezzanine above the lobby. He said something to
- 19:02Speaker 5: the woman and quickly started toward the stairs.
- 19:04Speaker 10: I left the phone booth and followed him.
- 19:06Speaker 5: I knew he'd seen only one thing, Hillary. I darted
- 19:09Speaker 5: up the stairs just in time to see him enter
- 19:10Speaker 5: the door at the end of the resume.
- 19:15Speaker 6: Come on in, friend.
- 19:16Speaker 10: Come on in. I'm Jack Clark.
- 19:18Speaker 9: What's your name?
- 19:19Speaker 10: Never mind.
- 19:20Speaker 12: Where'd the man go? He came in just now. A man?
- 19:24Speaker 9: What man?
- 19:25Speaker 12: Well, just a few seconds ago. You must have seen him.
- 19:27Speaker 12: And just before that, there was a girl.
- 19:29Speaker 9: Oh, a girl.
- 19:30Speaker 10: Well, listen, friend.
- 19:31Speaker 12: Girls spell trouble. Nothing but trouble.
- 19:33Speaker 9: Forget it.
- 19:34Speaker 12: I can't have a drink and forget it.
- 19:36Speaker 9: No, no.
- 19:36Speaker 12: I don't want to drink it.
- 19:37Speaker 9: Just tell me.
- 19:37Speaker 6: Where did he go?
- 19:38Speaker 12: I'll find you a drink, friend.
- 19:40Speaker 6: Now, you wait right here.
- 19:43Speaker 5: A drunken fool staggered off through the crowd, and I
- 19:46Speaker 5: looked around very carefully.
- 19:47Speaker 10: The room was jammed almost entirely.
- 19:50Speaker 5: With men there standing around in groups, drinking, all talking
- 19:53Speaker 5: at once.
- 19:54Speaker 10: I couldn't see Raden anywhere, nor Hillary.
- 19:57Speaker 5: But I noticed an exit across the room, and I
- 19:59Speaker 5: started to make my way toward it.
- 20:00Speaker 9: Ah!
- 20:04Speaker 6: Here's your drink.
- 20:06Speaker 10: You don't have to work up here, huh?
- 20:08Speaker 9: Well, I'm Jack Black, see?
- 20:10Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, take it.
- 20:12Speaker 9: No, no, no.
- 20:12Speaker 12: Thank you very much, but I can't.
- 20:14Speaker 6: I've got to go.
- 20:15Speaker 12: Oh, you can't go yet. The party's just starting.
- 20:18Speaker 10: I know, I know.
- 20:20Speaker 7: Oh!
- 20:21Speaker 10: So you're on drugs with me, huh? Too good for me, huh?
- 20:24Speaker 12: Don't start that.
- 20:24Speaker 10: Now look, you wait right here.
- 20:26Speaker 12: I'll be back in a moment.
- 20:27Speaker 10: I broke away from him and pushed my way toward
- 20:29Speaker 10: the exit across the room. Wasting precious time. The rate
- 20:33Speaker 10: might have caught up to Hillary already. I got out
- 20:37Speaker 10: and closed the door behind me.
- 20:38Speaker 5: I was in a little recess off the mezzanine. Just
- 20:43Speaker 5: across from me was another door.
- 20:44Speaker 6: Well, the only thing I could do was try.
- 20:53Speaker 5: Inside, I discovered about 20 women and a sprinkling of
- 20:57Speaker 5: small boys I see the neat little rose facing.
- 21:01Speaker 10: The opposite end of the room. On the platform stood
- 21:04Speaker 10: an extremely tall, emaciated young man.
- 21:06Speaker 5: With straight yellow hair, his head thrown back, eyes closed.
- 21:12Speaker 5: The audience was listening to him intently.
- 21:16Speaker 10: I looked around.
- 21:17Speaker 5: I didn't see Reagan. A woman seated near the door alone,
- 21:22Speaker 5: a tiptoed overtime.
- 21:24Speaker 12: Excuse me.
- 21:26Speaker 10: Excuse me, madam, but did you see a man?
- 21:28Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but this is a matter of
- 21:30Speaker 6: life and death.
- 21:32Speaker 10: I must know if you saw a man come in
- 21:33Speaker 10: here a few minutes ago. Please, please, I must know. Oh, Ralph,
- 21:37Speaker 10: you must know. I'm speaking English, and I'm going to
- 21:40Speaker 10: complain to the management about.
- 21:41Speaker 9: All you people bursting in here.
- 21:42Speaker 10: Where is he?
- 21:43Speaker 12: Where did he go?
- 21:44Speaker 6: He walked right down the aisle and out through the
- 21:46Speaker 6: door behind Mr.
- 21:47Speaker 10: Pierce.
- 21:48Speaker 12: And don't you dare do the same thing.
- 21:49Speaker 10: I didn't wait for him here anymore. I went down
- 21:52Speaker 10: the aisle. Around the platform to the door at the
- 21:55Speaker 10: rear of it. Apparently Mr. Quilliam was unaware of my presence.
- 22:01Speaker 10: I went out quickly, breathing a sigh of relief.
- 22:08Speaker 1: Hello, Jedward speaking.
- 22:10Speaker 15: Sorry, Edward speaking.
- 22:12Speaker 9: Hey bro, I'm glad you picked up. Who is this?
- 22:15Speaker 15: It's me, John.
- 22:17Speaker 9: I'm literally outside in the landing.
- 22:19Speaker 7: I don't know any Sean.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Lose my number.
- 22:24Speaker 9: Hello?
- 22:24Speaker 12: Edward, don't hang up. I'm sorry for saying a handyman
- 22:27Speaker 12: could fix the gas boiler.
