Quiet Please 49 03 27 A Time to Be Born and a Time to Die

0:00On clear, you'll go down the air at 9.30pm tonight. Quiet, please. Quiet, please. The American Broadcasting Company presents Quiet, Please, which is written and directed by Willis Cooper and best features Ernest Chappell. Quiet, please, for today is called a time to be born and a time to time. To everything that is as season, and a time for every purpose under the heavens.

1:07A time to be born, and a time to die. Begin. I am afraid. Begin myself. I am born. I am a man, and the world lies before me, before my eyes and under my hands. I am in the midst of life, yet I am alone. A time to time. May I come in, please? Thank you. No, I have had no experience. I'm willing to start at the bottom and work up in life. Yes, I have certain ambitions. Yes, I will work hard for whatever you want to pay me. I'll do what you say, and I live modestly and save my money, and I'll not waste my time. No, you're a sir. I work and study and try to be useful to you and to me. And you'll find I'm a hard worker and honest and conscientious. And when the time comes, you'll promote me, and you'll find that I'm a very good man to have in your organization, sir.

2:10Oh, yes, thank you. Thank you. I'm not afraid of work. I'm always here on time in the morning. I'm here before 9 o'clock, and you're no better than I am. You see the shirt here at 9 o'clock, too, or I'll tell a boss me a fire. I'm going to let you stand in my way. I'm going to be a successful life. I want a better job, and the only better job in this place is his job. I'm tired of living in a little car bedroom and never having any money to enjoy myself. I want to be rich and happy. I'm not getting a head past him up in this place. I've got to get ahead. Why? You know, sir, I like John all right. I think he's a fine young man. But I could do his work better than he can. I told you I've worked and studied and tried to be useful to you, sir. I'm only being useful when I say John isn't doing his work as efficiently as he should.

3:16Hi. Thank you, sir. I'm sure you know I'm thinking only of a business. After all, I have worked hard on your behalf, sir. And the town of... Gentlemen of the board of director's, I am hungry grateful for this high on how you have bestowed on me. When I first came to this wonderful organization as a seeker after employment, I said to myself, the highest honor I could ever hope to attain is to be a hard working member of that great happy family. For that, that is how I think of this great organization of which I am now, I'm very happy to be the president. A time to tell.

4:18No, Alan, there's no way out. I'm tried so hard. I know. I give you credit for that, Alan, but it won't work. I'm not being talk about it, my dear, but it just has to happen this way. When did you stop loving me? My dear, don't ask such silly questions. Tell me when. I said, don't be silly, please. I'll be dramatic, my dear. I've given you, I know. The best years of your life. Really? I love you so very much. I wasn't. I mean, you shouldn't have left me, my darling. I know I'm not the family of type. I know. Well, it's all over now, my darling. It'll be all over. I've been over all that before, my dear. No, if you don't mind. When did you stop loving me? I told you not to ask that. Back to that, please. I've got a new dress. A new dress isn't enough. I'm sorry, Marilyn. You got to remember my position. I loved you.

5:18I'm sorry. Now let's not get emotional, shall we, please? From I say, when did you stop loving me? But if you must know, Marilyn, I never loved you at all. A time to feel, and a time to feel. No, it's only tax money. I pay Marilyn a very substantial sum of money each month. I don't know what else she needs to hear, Abby. I think I've been very generous with Marilyn. She has the house, the money. What more does she want? Let's not worry about Marilyn. She's alright. A time to break down. I don't care what you do, Edgar. It makes no difference at all to me. I've got to get out. No, you don't really have to get out, Edgar. You still have some stock in the business.

6:18I said something. But you have most of it. Certainly I have most of it, Edgar. Certainly I have. When you made me president of the company, I made up my mind. That by hope. Go up my hook. I was going to get a controlling interest in the company. Now I have it in me. That's all. I've founded this company 45 years ago. And you can have a job with it as long as you live at good. I promise you. I remember you when you first came to me. You said you'd start at the bottom and work your way up. That I did, Edgar. You said you were industrious. Have a night being industrious and honest and conscientious. And today you sit in my chair in my office. And you tell me that they'll always be a job for me in my own company. And that I mean, Edgar. They'll be a job for you in this company. Just as long as you live. A time to break down. And a time to build up. Well, I know, Mr. Federal, I don't have a controlling interest in the business anymore. No.

7:19Yes. Yes. Oh, I look on the company of today with some pride, of course. But it isn't like the old days when I would have beg a pardon. Oh, yes. Yes, we have branches all over the world now under the new management. We have expanded amazingly. Yes, indeed. I'd be very glad to see you. But I think that you should see the chairman of our board of directors. He's a very remarkable man. He's personally responsible for the expansion of the company. Oh, no, no. I haven't retired. I'm still with the company. As I said, I don't have a controlling interest anymore. But you can't miss it when you call. I'm in charge of the reception desk just as you come in the front door. A time to leave. I'm very, very sorry. Really? I'm all broken up. Yes, it's been years since I've seen Marilyn, but I was very fond of her. Ah, deeply, that's like it to hear every day. Yes, we were separated several years ago, a matter of incompatibility I suppose you'd say.

8:21But I've always maintained the high of the guard point. I'm very sorry she died. It's obvious. I have some flowers sent to this address. Well, about $20 worth of work we do. Some funeral power uptown. Thanks. A time to leave. Under time to leave. In this office, and you will have to send any more of those checks. You know. And that's over with the class. A time to leave. That? Right. A morning ban. Do you know what a morning ban is? I used to be when somebody died, everybody wore black clothes. See, oral custom. Nowadays, you just get a piece of black cloth. And you have to return it so that I'm asleep for a coat. Okay. I got to find hair.

9:24So far, plan piano. Are you going to sing? Oh, no. I just play. Yes, fine. Play sad music for me. I have a morning ban. My wife died. Oh, we separated. She died. Yeah, I want to show her just a little dumpy kind of configure. That's a special. She died. Please leave it again. She died. She died. A time to leave. Under time to leave. Right. I'm saying that sounds easy. Listen. I'm sure a dance music. Come on, let's hear me that. A time to pass away. Go.

10:25All right. All right. If that's the way you want it, you're going to have it. I don't understand. I understand, all right. If you and your friends had connived and flooded. I worked behind my back. You haven't been watching the business, you know. I thought I was surrounded by a loyal coworker. You weren't very low to me when you took the company away from me behind my back. Were you? That's an entirely different situation. I've got you in all that. It was behind my back. You can't accuse me of dishonesty. I didn't. Well, if you hadn't been spending so much time. Don't you say a word about my fiancee? I had no intention of speaking about it. But you know you haven't been paying much attention to the business. All right. I don't want to talk about it. Well, now listen to me. We're perfectly willing to have you stay on as general manager at a salary. But again, in salary, because we know your ability. But as to contrive, I don't want any part of it. You've got to smarter be this time and I'm living. I took this place off the high. I had a part in that too, you must remember.

11:25Well, I don't want any more of it. I'm true. I'm getting off. You understand? A time to throw away stone and a time to double stone knees together. Well, of course, I'm glad to see you at any time. I'm back with life. How do my hands hurt? I don't need to rub it in, of course, but you understand, don't you? Yes. Now, why did you do that? Where did you give me your job? Well, I've learned my lesson about Mr. Harris. Sir, have you got anything for me? I've got to get another start. Yes, of course. But I'll tell you what I do. You're a very valuable man. This one's my boy. I need a job off the badger. I've been around everywhere. I'm very good. Oh, job is failed. I know. And they have a very good sales manager.

12:25Anything I do. I tell you what I do. If you wanted to go out on the road first, yes, of course. Anything? I'm in commission, of course. A time to run race. Hello, Julia. You know who this is, Julia? That's right. Yes, I know. It's been a long time. Yes, Julia. Well, I've had a rough time, Julia. That's why I haven't caused you anything, you see. Oh, yes, yes. Yes, I got a new one. I made a new connection today. Yes, the old company, they finally came around after me. Yes, you know. What? Well, I was wondering. I've got to go out to town tonight. And I thought maybe we could have dinner together. What? Oh. Well, I'll do my expense money. How about it? A time to run race. And a time to refrain from embracing.

13:26Oh, I'm sorry, too. Well, that's too bad you couldn't break it. Well, no, I, but I wish you could. Well, when I come back then. You're in about too much time to break. Oh, too much to go by off the fact of. Yes, sure. Yes, of course. All right, Julia, I'll call you. I'll call you. Well. A time to run race. So, if you just found the order blank right here, that's right, this line. Thank you very much indeed. We're always grateful for business and now personally to see what the river is made within 10 days. Yeah, that's fine. Thank you very much indeed. I'll wire the office tonight and get things started right away, Mr. Jacobson. Yes, thanks a lot, Mr. Jacobson. Good day, sir. Oh, if you'll have someone give me a certifying check soon. Oh, good. Well, thanks a lot.

14:27Goodbye, Mr. Jacobson. Man, I wish that was mine. I'm the town team. Yes, yes. Oh, hello, Mr. Jacobson. How big of a pardon? I'm not canceling. Oh, no, Mr. Jacobson. Why? Oh. Oh, but Mr. Jacobson. Well, that was my first, I beg pardon. Yes, sir. Oh, yes, of course, I understand. Yes, of course. Well, I'm sorry to, Mr. Jacobson. What's that? Yes, sir.

15:27Oh, of course. I have a mail to check back to the factory. I'll put it in the mail for you right away. I'm sorry, sir. Goodbye. Oh, sorry. I'm so cute. Hello. Hello. Hello, Julia. Yes, it's me. Julia, what are you doing? I mean, now. Julia, listen to me. You love me, Julia. Depends on what? Well, listen, I got an idea. Sure, I get ideas. What's different? Well, let's you and me get married. I have two got to send. I got a lot of money. I've got a certified check for $10,000 in my hand right now.

16:27Sure, it's mine. Sure, it's mine. I can afford to maintain you and decide you're vinegar. What? Well, I thought maybe we'd take a little honeymoon in Mexico, darling. I'll tell you what to do. You put on your pretty new suit. You got a pretty new suit, haven't you? And you get on an airplane and you fly out here. And I'll have a private plane all waiting for you. We'll fly it on the Mexico. We'll get married. We'll have a honeymoon. It's a deal. Oh, OK, darling. I'll meet you at the airport. A time to sleep. And a time to pass over. Found Jean. Grab your ship, darling. How much do we get left? Plenty. All right, then. I'm going to put it all on 13. No, wait. Hi, two legs, darling. 13.

17:2713. Oh, look on one. You've got a safe from off now, do you? Don't be so stingy. You said you got life left. Oh, no, I'm stuck with life this time, darling. I'm even number this time. Four. Four, four. I wish you wouldn't put it on. I'll be still. 13. I'll get anything I want, honey. There's a lot of money, darling. There. There isn't any more money. A time to end. Why? Why? Why did I do it? Because you're a fool, darling. Because you're a simple-minded, utter, excellent fool, that's why. I was getting a good start again, let this thing go to my head. Made a fool of yourself. You made a fool of me. I'm sorry, Judith. I'm so sorry. I'm married. You're thinking of you. Oh, you're other stupid fool. I love you, Judith. Ah, stop fucking about love. You're gonna do it. You see?

18:27I did it for you. What you did? I couldn't you be... Oh, there's no use talking to you. You oughta be put in jail. If I can't get me out of here, that's one thing. I don't know where I am. Oh, but if I hadn't let you play... Raging me down here to this god-for-saken place, and I ain't a fool of me. Not wanting me to have a little fun. Oh, what you've done to me, I'll never... What am I going to do, Judith? What am I going to do? Well, is there any kind of man of all you'll go back? I'll never go back. What's time to run on the time to slow down? I'm sorry to see you here. No, really, I am. It was very good of you to come way up here to see me, I guess. I don't have to call you Mr. Harrison here, do I? No, no, of course not. I'm sorry. I am godly name here, either, I guess. Just number one, one, one, six, three, oh. I really am sorry. There was nothing I could do, you know. Would you have done anything if you could, I... I... I don't know, my boy. You're still alive, throw.

19:28I know. I'm not thankful. Are you being treated all right? No, thanks. I've learned a so-tooth bag. I was very good, you're so right, you're right. I didn't know what to do. I was just going to tell you, my boy. I was just going to tell you, my boy. I'm going to tell you, my boy. You're so right, you're right. I didn't know what to do before they sent me here. No, no. Look at my fingers. Oh, I'm so sorry. It's only another five years, another five million years back. So that's all. It's the only thing you want. I want to get out. That's what we all want. I know. I have my pocket and I can thank you. It was just something I could undo what I did on my life. Here it is. Oh, excuse me, ma'am. So you go away, I swear. I'm his wife. Ooh. Goodbye, my boy. Goodbye again. Well. Find two keeps falling. Now, you look fine sitting there and that's fine outfit.

20:29You're the great big sportsman, a big shot, the money man. You're going to sit there like a dummy. What does it say something? You know what I've been doing? I've been worked. I'm a convict wife. I have to work. I'm a single one of my friends who speak to me. And I'm dead to be sitting in public. You know what you've done to me? You convict? You ruined my life. You know what I thought I loved. You know why I came up here? You know why I came to see you? Because you loved nature. I came to love. For years and seven months. Five years. Five precious months off for good behavior.

21:34Four years and seven months. Five years and five precious months off for good behavior. Four years and seven months, Warden. Four years and seven months, Chicago Red. Four years and seven months, all you tall men with a rifle in the blue suits. Thank you, Warden. I've learned my lesson at such a long time. Thank you, society. I paid my debt to you. Thank you, high stone walls and iron gates. Thank you. I'm goodbye. And thank you, dear Julia, for remembering me just once in a while. The truly Christmas time for the apples and oranges all neatly sliced in half. The show there wasn't a little pile stuck into them. Thank you, my dear, for the messages and the visits that were so far apart and I waited for so eagerly. I thought you were an old man, Edgar. But I remember now you were only a few years older than I am.

22:34And I suppose the business has been going better and better while I've been behind the high walls. And I suppose that's why you look so much happier and so much younger. Or maybe it's only because I've been so unhappy and because I've been growing older so fast, so fast behind the high stone walls. Thank you for closing the gate behind me. The air is so fine and so fresh and I'm so happy, Edgar. Aren't you happy? I'm very glad you're out now, son. I wanted to do the first shake ahead. You've been a good friend, Edgar. No, I'm not. It's not bad. I'm sorry for what's happened here. That's enough. Have you decided what you're going to do now? All I know is I want to see Julia. Do you think that would do I? That's all I thought about all those years back there, Edgar. Julia's got the packages once in a while, you know, even if she didn't write. Maybe. Maybe what? Maybe she doesn't hate me. Son, you've been through a lot. Yes, I have.

23:34And what if you don't find Julia? I'll find her. What if you don't? Well, I hadn't thought of that. You've been away a long time. How long time? Why don't you go away from here and try to shout all over again? Without you, Julia? Without you, yeah. No. No, I won't do that. It might be better way, son. No. It might be the other way. It might be better enough to want to see her. I don't know what you mean. Fishy? Dead? No. Julia isn't dead. I was afraid. Maybe she doesn't want to see you. Maybe she won't write it first. Well, I'll tell her. I'll show her. She won't see me all right. She'll remember. And she'll love me. No. What? I said no. How do you know? How do you know, I said?

24:35I love you. Because she married me, son. I'm a I love you. Dead? Dead? It isn't me, I'm here. Open your eyes, I'm here. Look up here. I didn't mean... My hands are stronger than I thought. I didn't mean to kill you, I'm here. I couldn't help it. But what you did, I'm here. It was her hands, I'm here. Julia. Oh, Julia. Julia, I love you. I hate you, Julia. I'll be never see you again. Make those sons sleep with me. How do you know? Julia. Julia. Julia. I'll tell you how I feel, my child. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. Julia. I love you. How do you know? Julia. Julia. the sea and the time to every present another heaven. A time to be born and a time to

25:45die. The title of today's quiet sea story is a time to be born and a time to die. It was written and directed by Willis Cooper. The man was booked to you with a friend of his channel. And I'd just say they played that game. Marilyn was drive-sorting and Julie was played by Helen Chokes. The reader from the book of the PTSD was the thing of art. Music required please is played by other permanent sounds. Today was my William McKinock. Now for a word about next week I'll add a director Willis Cooper. Thank you for listening to Quiet Please. Next week a man returns from the grave where I buried him with six Charles W. Afternoon.

26:47A man who knows everything knew more than I did. And he'll come again and make Denise and Brian mad. And so until next week at the same time I am Quietly Ores, greatest chapel. Now a listening reminder. For a glimpse onto the veil that hides the future for a commentary that is incited and based on facts listen with evening to Drew Pearson.
