Buy a please. Buy a please. The American Broadcasting Company presents Buy a please.

Which is written and directed by Willis Cooper and which features Ernest Chappell. Buy a please for tonight is called Angle Foot. Back in the old days when GI didn't mean general issue with just meant job-on-ized buy-in, I used to be a plumber. I don't know why I was leaving tools in this shop when you were on a job. Because if a plumber took along all the tools, these liable the need on a job you don't know nothing about, so they get there, you need one of those moving vans to code them. First of all, what you can do with a fortune is still from wrench and a nip but I hope you'll be surprised. Who plays when I work? Where? The other smell of plumber and chapp. I tell you what you smell. Open first thing, like clear soap, after you start with. Then see oil, let's smell red-led to you, let's smell the dryness and stuff.

Smell a hot-led where the kids and nothing comes, scrap-led in a little pig, you can put me in a bag. Galvanized buy-in? I'm not sure you just smell galvanized buy-in. So if I've been sort of 50 else in the teas and the street-os and the cup-room in the unions, all sizes, and forty-teens sizes, you can smell galvanized buy-in, alright? The other smell of rats could live back behind the bins, gathering vinnen and the blowtructures and the furnaces. And the thing I remember best of all, the smell of the fly paper. I haven't been seeing it before, if it ever placed, I don't know, maybe in the old days it was more rubber than it was more flies or something. I feel like in a place you went, you run in the fly paper. Remember that smell? Like Vonis for a sugar in it? Like happy that it got spoiled? Tell you a fascinating smell of the city-way.

Think about it when you kind of think, and then wonder the flies like the smell and went for it. Huh? Sure flies can smell, they got smelly to make it blood-hound jealous if you know it. Hmm, thank you, lots of things. I got a unionized, six-spenty legs, wings, and a trunk like an elephant. Only a little bit, the bus gets their color. Huh? They're not the flies they can't talk. Why, how do you feel good? I know a lot about flies. Let's tell you about it. We can see it today. There was people living upstairs above the pernostatolite works. That was in the summer 1950s, I guess. It was quite a wide road. They're back porch, and I'm about to back porch to the shop. We kind of shared where we used to thread pipe melons, scrap red stuff like that.

And Likets, the horse used to be tied up back there in the alley with a wagon. When he was working back there, it was quiet and shady and hot. Likets, Likets, stampin' his feet and switchin' his tail off the flies. Maybe a few of gasoline furnace, whoever was working with a truck in kind of lazy and slow on the heat. And boy, was it hot? Iron, puppy. We were stradding three-quarter inch black iron pipe. You want the boat excursion to the next box? And what boat excursion? Graphic slide from the pernostatolite. Come on, that was to know. Well, tonight. That's good enough. Good enough to like the pipe. Hotting up. 91% of the time in the summer days. The half-throw Likets out there in the sun.

The head's in the shade, what behind the back? Slide, Likets. Just put the flying net in on it. Yeah. And the fat don't step in the fly paper. Slide paper, every place that birds change their leaves nuts about fly paper. Gone stuff. There's all over the place. That's where you're throwing it. You just throw it up the fly. I said, you had a fly paper. You think the relic step around it wouldn't be so many flies? Fies are smacked. How do you mean? Smacked. And the fat fly paper. And then it's the dumb fly. My one's looking at it. Not a fly away. And I am on people. First, take a bite. Well, they're blinded. I have one of my long flies with. No, I don't know. Two of them. And the more like the pie, the more it's better? Sure. I wonder what kind of thing to think about. Eating?

What's the answer, gonna go? What's the answer? I got sent to New York last year. Tested. Pretty mere noon. Then, uh, go home to you? Go with me. I wasn't joking. I asked you to wrap the fly paper. No flies are new for all the time. Oh, wow. I'm gonna show you how strange you got from it. You know what I'm saying? No, I said, you want to put the fly away. It's not going to be a good time. I'm just going to say it or something. I just want to stop it. I don't want to get the ball hammered. I'm going to get the next time. We got something. We're eating our food. So, the cut? iggles! Doorbells

We would have to ask him if all this house was in the kitchen. It was kind of cool. And that's where I needed to go back to work. I heard people ask you about it. I had like that laid out and took it. No, but... Oh, shut up. Yeah, Brickin' Chated Canyon. Yeah. This guy wasn't a good guy. Yeah. Good bike, Brickin' Chated. Ah, that's not how I was. I don't think it was known with anybody with a bus. I don't have a problem with this. That's not how I think. In the recent video, I've met a shit all I got today. That's not tomorrow? Tomorrow, 4. That's you. I'm gonna start a couple years later. Don't you want me to run? Yeah. Well, I was thinking about trying. And he told you about that yesterday. I just got to spend the night.

So, what's in your bag? I got a glass of water. What happens? I have to get under the cold shed to keep you warm. If you don't get on the sun, it's time to cut the dry. You know, it's crazy. It's time to cut the dry. It's time to wrap it up. You know, you will. This will wrap you up, right? It will be a great big shot. This is a bag. What kind of bag? I don't know. How it would match it. It's like a big bag. She is your wife. What kind of a friend would have met in the bag? You know, I don't know. I see no one. But the least looking spaces I ever seen, you're the big guys. You're the nice. Look at you from all over. I was washing my face with black and black. It goes around out. It goes around. See? You know, a big fly should be coming.

She'll be a swell puffer. Look, you're the thing. I tell her not. There will be a fire. There will be a big strike at the ball. And put a big chain on it. That's why I wear it with you. And I have to turn it into a tiny place. Wow, you know. You should think in the words you're giving fly. Fly this night. Fly it to the catchers and get a little time to put it boy. I tell you, I have a big piece of film I'll put the catcher for. You've got much time to put it in the world. You know, fly like something in the world, you know. For a boy I've been like, didn't she hear the voices? Come on, play it alone. Yeah. I should've seen a fly that full. That's the feeling, people, I guess. And now let's go.

I remember it was putting me in a tree four months later with just the other kind of the first days of fall and people were starting to burn dry leaves along the curb stone. Herb the newest takes an hour for a heater for franken either to give in the telegraph. I've lived out there where Washington runs into the court street. And a crew out there, I remember it. Mrs. Gibbons, she was drawn at us because she said we were just slow. She wanted that hot water heater fixed right this minute. She wanted to take a bath before taking a piss up a Christian church. She had to put the ice in the end on two double-sled cakes and then we please hurry up. She was out of the tizzy. Now finally Henry come with a reduced to two who was waiting for him. Mrs. Gibbons, she went out to the kitchen a little bit of cakes and then got back and things around and make my cakes fall. She said, he said, yes man, for about the forty-tenth time he just shut the door. And they're done with barking hammering. And they said, hmm, me too. I can't when I leave you alone. I get the union after her. She thinks she knows so much of the plumbing.

Well, this is cool. What's the matter? Yeah, I got mail born a fly paper. I haven't thought she's still got a fly paper around for her. Let me do it. Got to take off the skin too. Yeah, I just got this in gasoline and I got gup all over me. I need them in the fly so it's really wasted. You know gasoline. I know what it's a fly. Huh? I know what it's a fly. But I just want them. Two reasons. First thing I kind of like this fly. Like them. Raised them from a pop. Herb be. Raised a fly from a pop. Second thing is you want to swap this fly. Better have a base for all that. What? This your fly is. They didn't choose a lot. Huh? And you look at that. How big? Maybe nine.

Where you going? This gentleman. What are you going to come here for? This gentleman caught me a silent. Herb be by the way to see his fly. My face is lost. Yeah, I'm going to the cruise ship. Come on, Teddy. Yes, Teddy boy. Yes, Teddy. Come on, Teddy. Come on, Teddy boy. You all right, you're Teddy? Come on, Teddy. You boy. Come on, Teddy. Teddy. You hear me? Come on out of there. Come on now. I had it. Got this dog. Teddy. Come on, Teddy. He's asleep, maybe. You're probably me, how are you that way? I may have been here, maybe, don't. Who I can see him? He's laying out of there. Teddy. Teddy. I'll reach in and pull him out. Come on, Teddy. Come on. Come on. What? Huh? He's there. You weren't ever seen anybody. Anything I mean, that's it. I killed him.

You know, I don't mean to kill, but putting a chance on him like that. I mean, who did that fly? That's your fly. That's your engine long, maybe nine. That's your fly. I killed Teddy, that was her. It'll be better worst though. That was a hundred of the way. 42. 42. 42. 42. 42. 42. 42. 42. 42. 42. 42. 42. 42. 42. Johnathan's scared the day before. This will fly just up and kill poor Teddy. But maybe Teddy was scared to death at the fly first? Because nobody in the whole great wide world ever seen a fly that was eight-minutes long. Nobody but first heard the human Teddy. And afterwards. Me? I ain't found him yet. Maybe he got frosted up.

Kind of scared, Neapolk. I'm with you. And he conserved to me, or the bottom on the head. He'll come flying up to you. I'm flying up. You won't even see his limbs. You know, our flies' limbs is, you can see through them. Maybe he's frosted up. Fly. Can't stand cold weather. They die. They don't always die. Sometimes they go into what is it a comma? When they get warm, they come to again. And then they're hungry. Well, I think he did. Because we ain't heard about anybody, croaking, you know, with a mystery, not since Teddy. Hey, I can still see that flop. I'm not thinking about Teddy. Maybe you have a loose and flat paper around. Think how's the flat paper? I got flat paper all around the cloak in there, where you were. Teddy enough? And don't have to be so heavy. The length of a handful of tango for it.

They get off, stuck to the hair and hair. Hair on his legs. Fly has got hair on the legs? Really? You know, like this or the legs spikes kind of. He gets flat paper stuck on his legs, his wings. He can go skin him around much. Maybe he's there. Sure hope not. Well, I kind of like him. I think they ate up Teddy. I'd be just as satisfied to find him. I'd get to see him. And must be quite a cycle, like looking at a fly through a magnifying glass. Sure, glad he only got to be a nine inches long. Who? He had to lose him. I could put him in a sec as their sides show us. Make a $1 million. Take him up if you're calm, though. People in town from Mayans of Mayans around will assume just about a museum like that one is it New York? No, he's quite a thing. He's the nice. I want him to crop nice and let him hang. Honestly, what do you do to a dead man? I don't know.

Thanks for kindly asking what he done to Teddy. How'd you get him so big, Herbie? Yeah. Shake it back. And so, better feed lay on egg. Better be bigger. I mean, the top of the bigger than who I was. Fly back. Bigger than you. Bigger than you guys. Fly back. Bigger than a hen's egg. Bigger than maybe a turkey egg. Maybe he's dead. Yeah. Now, he comes after me. I'm going to shoot him. My old trial. I know. You couldn't hit the loom with a bulls head on him. You hear them all right? How long are we? How'd you do? Who's that box? I don't know. Just move the town from someplace. No, I don't. I don't know. The way he's making me. The way he's making me. And it can lead me to any of something like that. But you know. Better than power, hall, and dance here and there. Like dance. Social athletic club down. Uh-huh. Well, Matt. See it's the shop in the morning. So now's the colonists. Yeah, it's going to snow.

Feel like snow. More bust and weather types. Yeah. Let's go on back. Say it. They have to have the ladies watching me. I've got something made of. Sure, I feel like I said it's fine. I like it. Say, uh, herbie. Why? Listen. Quiet. Listen, that's a great big flyer here. Yeah. I'm a level now. Isn't there a great big fly? Yeah. Couldn't we just be... Why'd you start about all of a sudden? I've never seen this here fly. I mean, you think I'm just fooling? I was wondering. I was just making it up. Why you? No. I wasn't making it up. I just wondered. Listen, that I never made that up. There's no wish to rise.

I was never started making the flies grow big. I was stopped when I got one this big. I was high, no, no, whether they're the lid you're not. Listen, that's what I think, what that they're flying. Remember, with that last summer, we first talked about it. You said, what would you feel? A great big fly. Yeah. Remember what you said? What? You said people. People this said. That's what you'd feel. Oh. Yeah. Listen, that's what you already had a job. That we know about. What if he had been dead by now and all this cold? He must be. Must be what? How do you write it? Jitter December 1915. Here is 76, 5, 4, 3, the third tonight, hurry and leave Park like a soldier. I remember because on the seventh, the Boy Scott set a movie with the cap of theater.

You could be the standard theater. You know the kid with the beard, they're blowing it out front. That was the seventh. That was the night's birth scene kid, from me up in the shop. And you know, Watson came over from kind of next star and told me that this call made. And I was, but he said, you and her, we'd better work a lot of ways to use people, use the Chinese and the Chinese and the Chinese, whichever it was. Because their friend, December, was around with it and it was hot and it was freezing. And I should go right on over and her, be with me for the day, he was already on a way with the wickets and the wagon and the tools. So I said, all right, now the moment when I'm over shoes and my army sweater, I'm over there. See, the place is only two doors away from where her baby lives. There are a bit of coffee at school. That's why he was there already, see? I never even bothered enough, and I kind of just went around to the center door with my clothing ladder and that command down. Maybe was there already something on the center steps so I just thought, fell over him. And that looked very happy. So I said, I thought there was freezing there down here in this house with a massive window. And my friend is just not cold down here.

It's loud. I said, I fixed it. Huh? I fixed the furnaces. Val was corroding. I put a note on my fired out of fire. Well, what you said in the cellar says, for the number of salt fixed. What you said in the room here, for, why? Well, you're looking so crabby about anybody want to be crabby with me. I walked after the cross-stall and about. What you said crabby about? Huh? She's down here. Who? Malaysian. No, the McKinley Gallery, whatever her name is. Where? That's for. And that's why I had lost her dreams company. Three share that. It's going to make some time, huh? I'm sure she'll hear you. Where is she? And then, back there on the preserve planet. Well, good to bring your jar of apple butter. You know, a man makes the other birdie one. Ha-ha. You've got some bottles back there, but from the higher, the higher, whatever it is. Three years old. And I sure like the other birdie one. I know it. Well, I said, you're crabby. I'm a good guy.

I'm a good friend, crabby. Soon we got everything fixed up. I'll be. You never have to. I never stood in this guy's way, crabby. I'll walk into the cold and the snowy nose. I'll walk the right home and read these sea islands where it's at a time. I'll walk into the cold and the snowy nose. I'll walk the right home and read these sea islands where it's at a time. I'll leave the coast clear for you. You don't have to do that, but just as soon as I have one drink, you'll build a very wide. No, there was a catch in it. Now, you're right away on this trip. Hey, you didn't tell me to hear about it. Giant flies, you think, had it out. I think dead. And guess it, good, I've always alive. You got the mechanism? I've got some tape I made. Meabuzz, which you bled. Interesting? No. What you're doing, making that one?

No, man probably hit it first off. You give it a good smack and let your friends just work. It's a fact. I want to give you a good smack and two, huh? What's the other? Folks will hear upstairs. Louise, shut up. Hey Louise, shut up, Buck. Come on, let's go help him, Nick. Louise, you want some help? The people will hear you. Hey Louise, I thought maybe you heard of some Louise. Louise. Buck, what's that? Herb? What's in that, Buck? What's that? Louise. I could recognize her by her clothes. By her clothes, that's all. You're the reason I'm a person that I've tried.

Now, you're never meant to. Herb United. Herb ring. Not eight minutes is long now down in the hot, stuffy cellar. Two feet long. And saddened. Kind of look at what's dopey like that. He had a big dinner. And Louise. Herb be fended tonight. Hector, they're the friend's bikes. I could see their eyes. And that trunk like elephant. It kind of buys me regular size at me. A roughed face of it. And cause I could't wash in this face of the dinner. And I tried the halibut on, I could hear with this. Doesn't that sound? And then it kind of stumbled up on the pipes. It jumped in it. And I pressed my face, and it threw kind of sagging kind of. Thought of the kind of my eye, I was seeing it. It threw out under the first room. And the friend's dog was opening the fire.

He wouldn't hear anymore. Wasn't it a bit more you've come this far with me soon? How they police both heard you mean in jail. They said we might have always looked nobody could murder anybody like that. And there wasn't any other evidence. So, I see the fly was dead. It disappeared and wasn't anything to go on. So they had to let us go. That's pretty near the whole story. And it heard me. The egg. Oh, I'm sure I'm pretty sure I forgot about that egg. And about the egg. We're gonna handshake. Bigs of turkey egg. Back there in the dark behind the pipes. I didn't see it. Fuck me. But I never told anybody about it. Did I hear it? Nobody but you. And when they left us out of jail, we'd come back here looking for a crack that was gone. It was kind of squashed in back there. And we looked for sure enough. Laura brought the car in the books. You know. And we took it away with us.

And sure enough, this one got bigger in its father. Or its mother or whatever it was. I love everyone since then. It's got a little beer. And a little hungrier. Hey, that's so heavy. Bigs, yeah. Hungry all the time. Never let him out, don't. Wait. Look at him. Say, dear, dear. First real life that flyy ever seen. Hellways, we call them the weeds. Look at them eyes. See, it's something. Look. They're unrolled. This truck is like you. Nice clean face. See the sharp vessels on his legs. Bigger fly in the world. Bigger in the college. Bigger in the shuttle in the pony at that. And hungrier too. Come on, Louise. Wake up. He's awake right now. Uh-huh. Okay, hold it. Okay. Go on in. Now, you know, I'm going to have to go back to the house. I'm going to have to go back. I'm going to have to go back.
