00:00All right, I'll agree to lay off for 48 hours, but I give you my word, if you don't succeed,

00:29I'll come in here, seal every door, place everybody under technical arrest, take fingerprints,

00:34conduct a rigid inspection. I don't care if the whole world knows it. There have been six murders

00:38committed all in the same circumstances. The evidence points here.

00:47Another one. If you only knew the things that have happened. Are you worried about your father?

00:53Yes, I am. Terribly. Oh, the only thing I'm concerned about is your safety.

00:59Say, what's the matter with you? What's the matter with me? Nothing at all. Only all last night,

01:03I lay down with a bunch of stiffs, look at a lot of goofy guys, let a dame poke a gun in my stomach,

01:07and then I take a trick cigar from a dumb policeman. It is my theory that one of us in the past,

01:12from dire necessity, was driven to cannibalism. The memory of that act was hammered like a nail

01:17into the mind of that man. Shrewd and brilliant. He could conceal his madness from the human eye,

01:23even from himself, but he can't conceal it from the eyes of the radio's sensitivity.

01:37and I come back and see that same sort of culture.

01:57Some offense had never been nothing left, but I'll constantly plan it.

02:02Last but not least in the world.
