- 0:03Speaker 1: And the producer of radio's outstanding theater of thrill, the
- 0:09Speaker 1: master of mystery and adventure, William M.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Robeson.
- 0:13Speaker 3: Once upon a time, there was a little boy who
- 0:15Speaker 3: wanted to be in the movies. So he took a
- 0:18Speaker 3: screen test, and he got the part. I know because
- 0:22Speaker 3: I directed that screen test.
- 0:23Speaker 4: The part was the.
- 0:24Speaker 3: Starring role in the Paramount picture, Skippy. And the little
- 0:28Speaker 3: boy was Jackie Cooper. So it is with more than
- 0:32Speaker 3: a little nostalgic pride that I again have the privilege
- 0:35Speaker 3: of directing Jackie Cooper, now greatly grown not only in
- 0:39Speaker 3: stature but also in talent. Listen, listen then as Mr.
- 0:44Speaker 3: Cooper stars in Remember Me, which begins in just a moment.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Another visit with Joe and Daphne Forsythe.
- 0:54Speaker 5: Joe? Joe?
- 0:55Speaker 6: Joe?
- 0:57Speaker 4: Joe, stop reading that paper and talk to me.
- 1:00Speaker 7: I'm listening.
- 1:01Speaker 4: Go ahead. Well, I was talking to Mrs. Snyder today.
- 1:04Speaker 4: You know, she's the one whose boy had 31% less cavities.
- 1:08Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
- 1:08Speaker 4: Well, she thinks that we should buy bigger savings funds.
- 1:11Speaker 7: Uh-huh.
- 1:12Speaker 4: She says that when people can afford it, it makes
- 1:14Speaker 4: more sense. Oh, she says there are a lot of
- 1:16Speaker 4: different denominations. They start at $ 25, but then there are $ 50, $ 100, $ 200,
- 1:19Speaker 4: and even $ 500 bonds.
- 1:19Speaker 8: Is that so? And then with the ones we've.
- 1:26Speaker 4: Already bought through the payroll savings plan, we have quite
- 1:29Speaker 4: a nest egg.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
- 1:32Speaker 5: Are you listening to me?
- 1:33Speaker 4: Uh-huh. Did you know that the total accumulated compounded semi-annual
- 1:39Speaker 4: interest of the Series E savings bond will amount to
- 1:42Speaker 4: 93 and a third percent of the original purchasing price?
- 1:45Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
- 1:47Speaker 4: I thought so. Joe, what did I say?
- 1:50Speaker 5: Uh.
- 1:52Speaker 9: You said that United States savings bonds are a safe,
- 1:55Speaker 9: easy way of investing.
- 1:57Speaker 1: I did?
- 1:58Speaker 2: That they help guard our country's freedom.
- 2:01Speaker 5: And?
- 2:01Speaker 9: They're the best investment in America's future.
- 2:04Speaker 4: I said something else, too.
- 2:07Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
- 2:08Speaker 9: You said that the total accumulated compounded semi-annual interest of
- 2:12Speaker 9: the Series E savings bond will amount to 93 and
- 2:15Speaker 9: one-third percent of the original purchase price.
- 2:19Speaker 8: Well, now, how did you do that?
- 2:22Speaker 3: Husband's trade secret.
- 2:24Speaker 1: And now... Remember Me, starring Jackie Cooper. A tale well
- 2:34Speaker 1: calculated to keep you in... Suspense.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Suspense. You're lucky.
- 2:58Speaker 4: I was just going to close for the evening.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. I saw you counting up the cash.
- 3:04Speaker 3: From the three?
- 3:05Speaker 9: Maybe I should be more careful, huh?
- 3:07Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe you should. All right, let's have it. Huh?
- 3:11Speaker 3: The cash. This is a stick-up.
- 3:14Speaker 8: No, you can't do this.
- 3:15Speaker 6: You can't.
- 3:16Speaker 2: This gun says I can.
- 3:17Speaker 7: I'll empty that cash register into a paper bag, all
- 3:19Speaker 7: of it.
- 3:20Speaker 4: But it isn't worth your trouble.
- 3:21Speaker 6: This is just a little grocery store.
- 3:23Speaker 8: Get out of my way. I'll do it myself.
- 3:24Speaker 6: No, no, no. You get out of here, you dirty whore. Help, please.
- 3:28Speaker 7: Help.
- 3:29Speaker 6: I'll get you everything.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Ah.
- 3:44Speaker 3: Who are you?
- 3:45Speaker 8: Where's Mr.
- 3:46Speaker 4: Lebowitz?
- 3:48Speaker 1: Oh, he isn't here.
- 3:49Speaker 2: He had to leave.
- 3:50Speaker 8: Is Mrs. Lebowitz sick again?
- 3:52Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, she's sick again.
- 3:54Speaker 7: I've been watching the store for him.
- 3:55Speaker 2: I was just closing. Oh. Well, what are you looking
- 4:00Speaker 2: at me like that for?
- 4:00Speaker 4: Don't I know you?
- 4:03Speaker 2: No, no, you don't know me. Look, I'm closing. You'll
- 4:06Speaker 2: have to come back tomorrow.
- 4:07Speaker 8: Why, I do know you.
- 4:08Speaker 4: You're Harry Norris.
- 4:10Speaker 6: Sure.
- 4:11Speaker 5: Huh?
- 4:11Speaker 4: Sure, we went to school.
- 4:12Speaker 8: Together at Starbuckton High.
- 4:14Speaker 4: I'm Ruth Shaw. Remember me?
- 4:16Speaker 3: No.
- 4:17Speaker 8: No, no, I guess you wouldn't.
- 4:19Speaker 4: But I remember you, Harry.
- 4:21Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 4:22Speaker 8: Oh, I just need a few things before you close.
- 4:24Speaker 8: Here's a list.
- 4:25Speaker 6: Uh, yeah, all right.
- 4:27Speaker 2: You pull down the shades on the windows and slow
- 4:29Speaker 2: the lights while I get.
- 4:30Speaker 4: Them, huh? Sure. Of all the people that run into...
- 4:34Speaker 4: I haven't seen or heard of you.
- 4:35Speaker 8: Since high school.
- 4:37Speaker 2: Well, let's see. Bread, bread, bread. Oh, here. And coffee.
- 4:41Speaker 3: Where's the coffee?
- 4:43Speaker 6: Right there above you.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Oh.
- 4:45Speaker 8: And potato salad in the refrigerator.
- 4:49Speaker 4: You haven't changed a bit, Harry. I'd know you're anywhere.
- 4:53Speaker 8: You know, I never forget a face, especially yours.
- 4:59Speaker 2: This kid's got to go. She could put the finger
- 5:01Speaker 2: on me, but fast when they find the old man's body.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Now I've got to kill her, too. But not here.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Someone might have heard the shot and called the cops.
- 5:10Speaker 2: I've got to get out of here and take her
- 5:12Speaker 2: with me. All right, here's the potato salad. Now, what
- 5:17Speaker 2: else do you want?
- 5:18Speaker 8: I guess that's all. Just put it on a bill. Yeah, sure. Oh,
- 5:22Speaker 8: this bag's heavy.
- 5:24Speaker 7: Oh, here.
- 5:25Speaker 2: Let me carry it for you.
- 5:27Speaker 5: Well.
- 5:28Speaker 9: Oh.
- 5:28Speaker 2: Come on. I'll walk you home. We can talk about
- 5:31Speaker 2: old times.
- 5:32Speaker 4: Well, I only live around the corner on 3rd Avenue.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Come on, then.
- 5:37Speaker 8: Oh, I forgot.
- 5:38Speaker 2: What?
- 5:39Speaker 8: I need flour, too.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Flour?
- 5:42Speaker 5: Yes.
- 5:43Speaker 1: I'll get it.
- 5:44Speaker 5: Oh, that's all right.
- 5:45Speaker 8: I can carry a bag of flour, at least.
- 5:50Speaker 4: Want me to get the light? Yeah, please.
- 5:59Speaker 2: You know, Ruthie, it's been a long time since high school.
- 6:03Speaker 3: You've got a good memory for faces. I know.
- 6:07Speaker 2: I'm sorry I don't remember you.
- 6:09Speaker 8: You wouldn't. You were a big shot.
- 6:12Speaker 4: A football player and all that stuff.
- 6:14Speaker 8: All the girls had a crush.
- 6:15Speaker 4: On you, Harry.
- 6:16Speaker 3: Did they?
- 6:17Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 6:20Speaker 8: Who do you live with, Ruthie?
- 6:21Speaker 2: Your family? No, I'm a big.
- 6:24Speaker 8: Girl now, Harry.
- 6:25Speaker 5: I live all by myself.
- 6:27Speaker 2: That's all I wanted to know.
- 6:28Speaker 9: She lives all by herself.
- 6:30Speaker 2: So I'll get rid of her in her own apartment
- 6:33Speaker 2: and no witnesses.
- 6:37Speaker 8: Well, here we are. Home sweet home.
- 6:40Speaker 6: Not bad.
- 6:41Speaker 4: You fix it up by yourself?
- 6:42Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:43Speaker 8: Here, let me take the bag. Sit down while I.
- 6:45Speaker 4: Put this jug away. Sure.
- 6:48Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 6:49Speaker 2: You fixed this place up okay. Nice view, too.
- 6:53Speaker 6: Yeah, the air.
- 6:54Speaker 4: It goes right past the window.
- 6:56Speaker 6: But you get used to that, too.
- 6:58Speaker 4: You should have seen it when I moved in.
- 7:00Speaker 8: It was really a mess.
- 7:01Speaker 4: Then I went to work on.
- 7:04Speaker 8: Oh, I thought you were in the other room.
- 7:05Speaker 2: What are you doing?
- 7:07Speaker 4: I got some flour on my skirt.
- 7:09Speaker 5: Oh.
- 7:10Speaker 8: I'll put some water on for coffee.
- 7:13Speaker 3: Good idea.
- 7:14Speaker 6: Come on in the other room, Harry.
- 7:16Speaker 8: I want to show you something.
- 7:17Speaker 7: What?
- 7:18Speaker 4: A picture of you.
- 7:21Speaker 3: Of me?
- 7:22Speaker 6: In a football uniform, yes.
- 7:24Speaker 8: I still have our class book.
- 7:26Speaker 5: Your picture's in it.
- 7:29Speaker 4: Uh, sit down.
- 7:30Speaker 3: Yeah, sure.
- 7:31Speaker 4: It's funny running into you. I was talking about this
- 7:34Speaker 4: book a couple of weeks ago, and I was thinking
- 7:36Speaker 4: about you, wondering whatever became of you.
- 7:39Speaker 2: You were thinking about me?
- 7:40Speaker 4: Uh-huh. Well, you didn't know it, but I had a
- 7:44Speaker 4: big crush on you.
- 7:45Speaker 8: When you were in school.
- 7:46Speaker 2: No, I didn't know. I thought I was a big
- 7:50Speaker 2: shot in those days. I couldn't see anything.
- 7:52Speaker 5: Yes, you did. Oh, look. Here's a picture of the
- 7:57Speaker 5: Thanksgiving dance in the gym.
- 7:59Speaker 4: Senior year.
- 7:59Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 8:00Speaker 4: Do you remember it?
- 8:02Speaker 2: I'm not sure.
- 8:02Speaker 8: You asked me for a dance that day.
- 8:05Speaker 4: Was I surprised? We went with them, started, and they
- 8:09Speaker 4: stopped the music to take this picture. And you ran
- 8:12Speaker 4: off to find Mona Stark.
- 8:15Speaker 3: Mona.
- 8:16Speaker 5: You remember her?
- 8:17Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 8:18Speaker 2: I remember Mona.
- 8:20Speaker 4: You were going with her when you quit school, weren't you?
- 8:23Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 8:24Speaker 6: What happened?
- 8:25Speaker 7: We broke up.
- 8:27Speaker 4: Why?
- 8:28Speaker 7: Oh, I borrowed a car from a pal so we
- 8:30Speaker 7: could drive up to Connecticut and get married.
- 8:33Speaker 2: It was a big yellow convertible.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Wanted to make a big impression.
- 8:37Speaker 2: Mona liked to be impressed. Only my pal forgot to
- 8:41Speaker 2: tell me it was a stolen car.
- 8:43Speaker 8: What happened?
- 8:44Speaker 2: I never saw her again. I saw a picture of her, though,
- 8:47Speaker 2: on the cover of a secret detective magazine. She had
- 8:51Speaker 2: a gun in one hand and a bottle in the other.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Some guy was choking her. She looked pretty good.
- 8:57Speaker 4: Well, nothing but good old days. What are you doing now, Harry?
- 9:04Speaker 8: For a living, I mean.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Me?
- 9:06Speaker 3: Nothing worth talking about.
- 9:07Speaker 8: How do you happen to know Mr.
- 9:10Speaker 4: Leibowitz?
- 9:11Speaker 2: Mr.
- 9:12Speaker 4: Leibowitz? He's the sweetest old dear. He'll take credit right
- 9:16Speaker 4: up to his ears.
- 9:17Speaker 8: But people always get around.
- 9:18Speaker 1: To paying him.
- 9:20Speaker 8: You must know him pretty well to be left in
- 9:22Speaker 8: charge at the store.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Oh, oh, well, I just... What's that?
- 9:27Speaker 8: It's the elevator.
- 9:29Speaker 4: It goes right past the window. It shakes the whole building.
- 9:32Speaker 6: Why do you blow up with that?
- 9:37Speaker 4: You get used to it.
- 9:39Speaker 8: Noisy, huh?
- 9:40Speaker 4: Yeah. You could fire a cannon in here when it
- 9:43Speaker 4: goes by and you wouldn't hear it.
- 9:45Speaker 8: You get used to it.
- 9:47Speaker 4: I think the coffee's ready.
- 9:48Speaker 8: Only take a minute.
- 9:50Speaker 2: You could fire a cannon. And I'm only going to
- 9:53Speaker 2: fire a.
- 9:54Speaker 5: 38.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Sure. All I have to do is sit and wait.
- 9:59Speaker 2: We'll drink coffee. and talk about the good old days.
- 10:02Speaker 2: And after the L goes by, the next time I'll
- 10:04Speaker 2: walk out of here with nothing to worry about. And
- 10:08Speaker 2: Ruthie won't be able to remember a thing. She'll be dead.
- 10:21Speaker 1: In a moment, we continue with the second act of.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Suspense.
- 10:28Speaker 7: The evolution of a medal. In 1847, during the war
- 10:32Speaker 7: with Mexico, Congress established a citation award for conspicuous service
- 10:38Speaker 7: by members of the United States Army. This was the
- 10:41Speaker 7: Certificate of Merit, strictly for Army enlisted men. In 1891,
- 10:47Speaker 7: almost a half century later, non-commissioned officers became eligible to
- 10:52Speaker 7: receive the certificate. No medal went with this award until 1905,
- 10:57Speaker 7: when a coin-shaped medal in bronze bearing a Roman eagle
- 11:01Speaker 7: was approved and adopted. The suspension ribbon was vertically striped
- 11:06Speaker 7: in red, white, and blue. In July 1918, Congress abolished
- 11:12Speaker 7: the Certificate of Merit, replacing it with the Distinguished Service
- 11:15Speaker 7: Medal and the Distinguished Service Cross. The medal is awarded
- 11:20Speaker 7: for exceptionally meritorious service to the government, while the cross
- 11:25Speaker 7: is reserved to honor extraordinary heroism in connection with operations
- 11:29Speaker 7: against an armed enemy. Before the Certificate of Merit was
- 11:34Speaker 7: discontinued in 1918, 1,211 enlisted men had received the award.
- 11:42Speaker 7: Given in recognition of gallantry in action or exceptionally meritorious
- 11:46Speaker 7: service during time of peace, the Certificate of Merit retains
- 11:51Speaker 7: an important place among America's historic medals.
- 11:55Speaker 1: And now, starring Jackie Cooper, Act II of Remember Me?
- 12:10Speaker 2: She's only got a few minutes to live. Only until
- 12:14Speaker 2: the elevator goes by again. No one will hear the shot.
- 12:18Speaker 2: They'll find just two bodies a couple of blocks apart,
- 12:21Speaker 2: and I'll be miles away. All I have to do
- 12:24Speaker 2: now is wait for the L.
- 12:26Speaker 4: Here we are.
- 12:28Speaker 5: Hot coffee. Good.
- 12:30Speaker 8: Sugar?
- 12:31Speaker 3: What?
- 12:33Speaker 8: There you are.
- 12:34Speaker 4: Hot and black.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Thanks. Good.
- 12:39Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Uh, how long you live here, Ruthie?
- 12:45Speaker 6: Over a year.
- 12:47Speaker 2: I wouldn't last overnight with the L going by the
- 12:49Speaker 2: window like that. I'm used to it. Uh, does it
- 12:53Speaker 2: go by often?
- 12:55Speaker 8: It never stops, day and night. I'll warn you the
- 12:58Speaker 8: next time I hear it coming.
- 13:00Speaker 2: Yeah, you do that.
- 13:05Speaker 8: Harry Norris, you're in my apartment.
- 13:08Speaker 2: What?
- 13:10Speaker 8: I just can't get over running into you like this.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the way it goes, I guess.
- 13:16Speaker 8: I can still see it, the way you were in school.
- 13:19Speaker 4: I remember a football game with Astoria High.
- 13:21Speaker 8: You got knocked out and they carried you off the field.
- 13:24Speaker 4: We were losing the game and you came back in
- 13:25Speaker 4: all bandaged up and you.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Put us ahead.
- 13:29Speaker 8: I was so proud of you. I thought you were wonderful.
- 13:33Speaker 2: We hardly knew each other.
- 13:35Speaker 8: I knew you. Well, I waited outside the gym that
- 13:39Speaker 8: night to see if you were all right. I saw
- 13:41Speaker 8: you here. You had a little bandage on right there.
- 13:46Speaker 5: You've got tiny scars now.
- 13:48Speaker 7: Oh, this one?
- 13:49Speaker 5: Uh-huh.
- 13:51Speaker 2: You waited around to see if I was okay, huh?
- 13:55Speaker 8: I even followed you home that night.
- 13:57Speaker 4: I was afraid you might pass out on the street
- 13:59Speaker 4: and there would be no one to take care of you.
- 14:01Speaker 2: So I followed you.
- 14:03Speaker 4: No follow-up. Instead of going home, you stopped into the
- 14:06Speaker 4: pool room, and I waited outside for hours.
- 14:10Speaker 3: You did?
- 14:11Speaker 8: Then it started to snow.
- 14:12Speaker 5: And I went home.
- 14:14Speaker 2: Funny. I don't remember seeing you, and yet you were
- 14:19Speaker 2: around so much.
- 14:21Speaker 7: Funny.
- 14:22Speaker 8: Yeah, I was a pretty horrible-looking kid then.
- 14:25Speaker 2: Nothing wrong with you now, is there? I....
- 14:31Speaker 8: I wonder how Mrs. Leibovitz is doing.
- 14:34Speaker 3: Mrs. Lieber?
- 14:35Speaker 2: Oh, well, you can stop by in the morning and
- 14:38Speaker 2: find out. Do you like living alone this way? I
- 14:42Speaker 2: love it. Don't you get a little lonesome?
- 14:46Speaker 4: Sometimes.
- 14:47Speaker 8: But I have friends in the neighborhood, and we get
- 14:49Speaker 8: together and have crazy times.
- 14:52Speaker 2: How come you never got married, Ruth?
- 14:54Speaker 8: I never met the kind of man I'd want to
- 14:56Speaker 8: spend the rest of my life with, I guess.
- 14:58Speaker 1: No boyfriends?
- 15:00Speaker 2: No one?
- 15:00Speaker 8: It's kind of your fault, Harry.
- 15:03Speaker 2: My fault?
- 15:04Speaker 6: Uh-huh.
- 15:05Speaker 4: When a girl has a crush on a fella and
- 15:07Speaker 4: nothing happens, she goes on thinking that maybe someday something
- 15:10Speaker 4: will happen.
- 15:11Speaker 8: And in the meantime, the other fellas just don't know much,
- 15:15Speaker 8: I guess.
- 15:16Speaker 2: You mean you felt that way about me?
- 15:20Speaker 8: I did once, when you were in school.
- 15:24Speaker 4: But I got over it.
- 15:27Speaker 3: Did you? Sure.
- 15:30Speaker 8: I guess.
- 15:32Speaker 2: You're a funny kid. I don't get you.
- 15:35Speaker 5: Forget it, Harry.
- 15:37Speaker 2: I wish I could remember you. What you look like.
- 15:40Speaker 8: Like I said, I was pretty awful.
- 15:41Speaker 2: What are you looking at?
- 15:44Speaker 5: Your scar.
- 15:47Speaker 8: It's no larger than.
- 15:48Speaker 4: A match head.
- 15:49Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 15:51Speaker 8: I can hardly feel it.
- 15:53Speaker 4: You have another tiny scar on the side of your nose.
- 15:56Speaker 8: Right here.
- 15:58Speaker 5: Where'd you get this one, Harry?
- 15:59Speaker 2: A fight, I think.
- 16:02Speaker 5: Always the tough guy.
- 16:04Speaker 8: That's why the girls liked you so much.
- 16:06Speaker 5: You treated them so right.
- 16:08Speaker 2: Did I?
- 16:09Speaker 4: And you ignored them most of the time.
- 16:11Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 16:13Speaker 4: The way you're ignoring me right now.
- 16:15Speaker 2: Am I?
- 16:17Speaker 5: Only links between us. And you ignore.
- 16:21Speaker 3: Me.
- 16:21Speaker 7: Ignore this.
- 16:22Speaker 6: Can I marry you?
- 16:25Speaker 2: Ruthie.
- 16:27Speaker 6: I'm there.
- 16:28Speaker 2: Ruthie. Ruthie.
- 16:39Speaker 1: In a moment, we continue with the third act of Suspense.
- 16:49Speaker 7: We have together ample capacity in freedom to defend freedom.
- 16:55Speaker 7: This is NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. NATO's many
- 17:01Speaker 7: achievements are a plate of the shield which it is
- 17:03Speaker 7: forging to protect peace and freedom. But the shield is
- 17:07Speaker 7: still thin and needs constant strengthening. True, NATO forces in
- 17:11Speaker 7: Europe cause any potential aggressor to exercise.
- 17:14Speaker 3: Caution, but these forces are insufficient.
- 17:16Speaker 1: To remove all threat of attack.
- 17:18Speaker 7: As NATO forces grow, so do hopes of world peace.
- 17:23Speaker 7: The United States of America is a part of NATO.
- 17:26Speaker 7: You should be aware of and alert to the objectives
- 17:29Speaker 7: and programs of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
- 17:33Speaker 1: And now, starring Jackie Cooper, Act Three of Remember Me.
- 17:40Speaker 5: Honey.
- 17:41Speaker 9: I was.
- 17:44Speaker 5: About to warn you.
- 17:51Speaker 2: The old bat went by.
- 17:52Speaker 8: Ruthie.
- 17:53Speaker 5: What's the matter, Harry?
- 18:00Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 18:01Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 18:02Speaker 2: I must be getting soft in the head. I came
- 18:05Speaker 2: up here to do something and now I can't. The
- 18:10Speaker 2: things you've said, the way you act, making me feel
- 18:14Speaker 2: like I mean something to you. All the time I
- 18:18Speaker 2: didn't know you were alive. Honey, honey, if I really
- 18:24Speaker 2: mean anything.
- 18:24Speaker 3: To you, you'll help me.
- 18:26Speaker 2: I need help. This is Ruthie, can I trust you?
- 18:32Speaker 8: Of course you can, baby.
- 18:34Speaker 5: I'll do anything.
- 18:36Speaker 6: What's that?
- 18:37Speaker 8: Ruthie, are you home?
- 18:39Speaker 2: Who's that?
- 18:39Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Don't make a sound. Look, Ruthie, you do as I
- 18:45Speaker 2: say and you're going to get hurt. Now, you see
- 18:47Speaker 2: this gun? It'll be against your side. I'd like to
- 18:50Speaker 2: act like you've been asleep and answer that guy and
- 18:52Speaker 2: get rid.
- 18:52Speaker 6: Of him, understand?
- 18:53Speaker 2: All right, now, I'm taking my hand away from your mouth,
- 18:56Speaker 2: but you be careful. I don't want anyone to know
- 18:59Speaker 2: I'm here. Now get rid of them.
- 19:01Speaker 6: All right, honey.
- 19:03Speaker 8: All right, I'll.
- 19:04Speaker 6: Get rid of them. What's going on out there?
- 19:06Speaker 8: Oh, Jimmy, is that you?
- 19:08Speaker 3: Yes.
- 19:09Speaker 8: What are you doing?
- 19:11Speaker 4: I'm asleep.
- 19:12Speaker 6: Are you all right?
- 19:14Speaker 8: Of course I am. Why didn't you answer when I knocked?
- 19:18Speaker 8: I've been asleep.
- 19:20Speaker 5: What do you want?
- 19:21Speaker 8: Nothing, honey.
- 19:22Speaker 6: I was worried about you, that's all. Worried?
- 19:26Speaker 8: About me?
- 19:27Speaker 2: You said you were going to stop by old man
- 19:29Speaker 2: Leibowitz's place for closing on your way home.
- 19:31Speaker 8: I just stopped there.
- 19:33Speaker 6: What about him?
- 19:33Speaker 2: Was everything okay? Tell him yes.
- 19:37Speaker 6: Yes.
- 19:38Speaker 8: Everything was all right.
- 19:39Speaker 2: Well, Mr.
- 19:40Speaker 8: Leibowitz was held up tonight.
- 19:41Speaker 6: He was shot.
- 19:43Speaker 2: Mrs.
- 19:43Speaker 6: Leibowitz came down to the store and found him dead
- 19:45Speaker 6: behind the counter.
- 19:46Speaker 7: Huh?
- 19:49Speaker 8: I heard you, Jimmy.
- 19:50Speaker 6: The neighborhood is full of cops. They say it happened
- 19:53Speaker 6: less than an hour ago.
- 19:54Speaker 2: Get rid of him.
- 19:55Speaker 6: I was worried about you.
- 19:56Speaker 8: I'm all right, Jimmy. I think it's tomorrow.
- 20:01Speaker 6: Okay, Steve.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Don't I get a good night's sleep?
- 20:05Speaker 8: I'm not dead.
- 20:08Speaker 6: Good night.
- 20:09Speaker 3: Okay.
- 20:09Speaker 4: Good night, honey.
- 20:12Speaker 5: I'll see you tomorrow.
- 20:16Speaker 8: Killed him.
- 20:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I killed him.
- 20:19Speaker 5: You're going to kill me?
- 20:21Speaker 2: I'm going to kill you. I have to.
- 20:24Speaker 5: Yes, you have to.
- 20:26Speaker 8: I could fix you good with the police.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Yes, you could. That'll teach you to remember old school sweethearts.
- 20:33Speaker 2: You almost got it before, but you mixed me up
- 20:35Speaker 2: a little.
- 20:36Speaker 7: You made me forget what I came up here to do,
- 20:38Speaker 7: trying to make me think.
- 20:40Speaker 2: You cared about me.
- 20:41Speaker 5: Harry, I did.
- 20:42Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 20:42Speaker 2: Does everybody in the building stop by.
- 20:44Speaker 3: For a goodnight kiss?
- 20:45Speaker 4: Jimmy, don't.
- 20:46Speaker 2: I don't care who he is. Why the routine with me?
- 20:49Speaker 2: What were you after? Harry.
- 20:51Speaker 8: Harry, why don't you give yourself up?
- 20:53Speaker 5: You heard Jimmy. The neighborhood's full of police. You can't
- 20:56Speaker 5: get away.
- 20:56Speaker 2: I've been in tighter spots than this, honey. I always
- 20:58Speaker 2: get away. Here it comes, Lucy.
- 21:01Speaker 4: Harry.
- 21:02Speaker 5: Harry.
- 21:03Speaker 3: Sorry, baby.
- 21:04Speaker 5: I won't tell anyone, Harry.
- 21:06Speaker 2: Sorry, baby.
- 21:07Speaker 6: I won't tell anyone.
- 21:11Speaker 5: Sorry, baby.
- 21:13Speaker 6: All right, Miss. All right.
- 21:21Speaker 8: Isn't Dad all the same?
- 21:23Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 21:25Speaker 8: I didn't know we'd get here in time.
- 21:29Speaker 6: It was close.
- 21:31Speaker 1: You really used your head to run flour all the
- 21:33Speaker 1: way from your store to your apartment. Did you see
- 21:36Speaker 1: him shoot the old man?
- 21:38Speaker 2: No.
- 21:39Speaker 5: Knowing Harry opened the refrigerator, I saw Mr. Ludewood's reflection
- 21:43Speaker 5: in the door.
- 21:43Speaker 4: He was sprawled out behind the counter, all bloody.
- 21:49Speaker 7: How'd you keep this guy here so long without him
- 21:51Speaker 7: killing you?
- 21:53Speaker 5: He had a lot to talk about.
- 21:55Speaker 4: I knew Harry a long time ago.
- 21:58Speaker 5: There were things I remembered about him. But he remembered me.
