0:00Quiet please. Quiet please. The musical broadcaster and system presents Quiet Please, which is written and directed by Willis Cooper, then which features Ernest Chappell. Quiet please, what tonight is called. Well, to five. Yes, ma'am, it does get lots and down here.

1:00What? Oh, sure, I've been able to talk to people on the phone out. But how do you like to be stuck away down the beach when all by yourself and midnight at 5pm? With nothing but a microphone that turns tables and telephones? But sure, I get coffee. I'm bringing forth through with jokes like a woman. I'm coffee up to here. Oh well, only four and a half hours more than I go home and have breakfast. No, no, ma'am, I don't drink coffee for breakfast. But you guess what I drink? No. No. No, you're getting warm. Sure, it's three of them. I tell you after all, it really isn't breakfast, you see. It's supper, dinner, stuff. Two of them. Well, thank you very much for calling. Good morning. Hello.

2:00Yes, this county, Duffin. Hello, today. They what? Oh, I haven't got any glad when your dad's your rescue, you. Yeah, we're not supposed to play it. This one's about 19, 34 or 5 at some time. No, no kidding. Don't you all play it, it's nothing, just a little while. You had a phone's ringing. Well, let's take a look at our keytons to this and you shall hear music. Good morning. Hello, county Duffin speaking. And how are you? Well, five days. Huh? Is that a bit? Oh, try. Now is the hour? Well, it's generally sung in four times here, but it was originally written in three-fourth time. Yeah, that's right, bring your walls down. Well, so I get you both women or you both know this stuff, huh? I'm sure you're welcome.

3:02Good morning. Hi, how are you? Yes, ma'am, the theme used on quiet please is taken from the second movement of the Symphony in D-Mart, and it might say it's our pride. I thought we'd glad to play it a little before you, just a second. Let's see. Uh, can you hear me? Say it by the thought of your Symphony Orchestra under Eugene Armady. Do you want? Yeah. Oh. Uh. Oh. Uh. Uh.

4:20Hello. Yes, this is County Duffin. No man I never lived in that dirt. Those diabetmen are Zomahop. I played Viper Hopper's dial for in there in 1932. And no now in the air, hotel. Now far, I'm sorry I guess I am not your cousin. Okay, have one for me. Good morning. What? What? What? I sure am not there. No, I'm all alone in here. No, I'm just a little late, cause we get too tall on boots I guess. But no, the engineer is upstairs and master control. Or will the only people in the station? No, I guess there's a janitor upstairs in the city of 14. They had a question off there tonight and it's probably tested by all over the state.

5:21Stop. Well, thank you. They don't allow me to have visitors. Besides my wife's listening. Sure. Verna. No, she can't even come down to see me when I'm on the air. Well, well thanks very much. You are? Sure. Until 5 o'clock, 5 a.m. All five hundred, we used to say in the maybe. Well, thanks very much. Good morning. Good morning. Friends, this is your friend Connie Duffin on a talk to five. She has to play in music and the same words to you. If you can't sleep, call me up and let's talk. We talked to everybody. What, $9, bartenders, police from Berger's music lovers? You know the number here that's a ring. Now for the music, let's see what we have here. Now the male's brother is singing, till then, and while I sing,

6:22I'm going to have a little coffee in a cigarette, so, me and back, listen. You know that, you know I don't need these wings for me. Till then, I'll lose my way. It will be one day. I know I'll be like a dance piece with you. Wait a minute. A little bit. A little bit. A little bit. A little bit. A little bit. A little bit. All right, you all right? Yeah. Oh, uh, hello. I'm Harvey Buchanan. Well, hello, I didn't know there's anybody else around here. It's Bob upstairs in the control room. I'm around every night.

7:22That's your cat, man. Coffee. Yeah, you like some? Coffee's up. Take the top off the surface. Nice of you. You a new guy? No, you know, I just said you're here every night. Yeah, I've been around here for a year. Well, I never get around here in the back. That's why I don't know a lot of people. Oomerulsters, the cashier's office. He he he he. What's your thought? I've found some news, but I can't see read. You know, I watch you say not. So he's wearing a tear on my book, of course. You in the newsroom? I'm fine, if it's time. I haven't had this jacket yet, everything. Yeah, it's a mic, baby. And... Why does it run around? You want to put me on? Sure. Well, friends, we got something to poise tonight. My good friend, Herby Buchanan has just come in with a pocket full of news boxes. And while I have one more cigarette, Herby will tell you what's going on in the world.

8:24Okay, Herby Buchanan. Thank you, Connie. Definitely. Well, I have not much new in the way of the National Affairs. Everybody hates everybody else just as much as they did yesterday and about as much as they will tomorrow. So let's see what's going on right here in our own Paris city. You want to call it a fair city? People of the police, beans, low pebbles, will be stuttled to know that a murder was committed to saving only two doors away from the Southside police station. Uvert W. Prankhite, a retired broker of 2319 West 17th Street, discovered a burglar prowling in his department who shot and killed Mr. Prankhite in his bedroom. There are no clues to the murderers' identity. The taxi cab collided with a street car at the corner of Pacific Avenue and Maple Grove, killing a passenger and seriously injuring two of the passengers in the cab. The weather today, the big temperature is now 52 degrees and if you know doubt, no rain is falling heavily.

9:26The correct time is 1.32 p.m. the standard time. Hey, Herby. You got the time, Royal. Well, look at the clock, your jerks, one on two, you're a half hour ahead of time. Hello, this county Duffin. What? It's not raining. Why, Herby said. What? Okay, I will look out the window. Hold the phone. Hey, Herby. Herby. Yes, ma'am, you're right. Well, I'm sorry, Herby must have been mixed up with something. Thank you very much. Yes, ma'am. Hey, where did... Herby. Where did... This is County Duffin. I'm here. Look, the train of nuts is a station. Wow, I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about, sir. Biggie calls in and people. They might sue you. What for? For goodness sake. The managers, can I read the lab, or...

10:27Huh? Me? Oh, well... Why, no, sir, that was a man from the newsroom. We have these hired. Listen, friend, who are you? I don't get it. What do I be, Lord? Well, all right, sir, but who are... I mean, we see you with your pick right now. I was not killed by a worker. You were. I mean, what? You might sell this equipment to us. That looks... You mean, I did end up in public apology. Wait a minute. What? I said, wait a minute. I hear somebody getting my bedroom. Wow, buddha. Okay. Hello, this is Connie Duffer. Who? Oh, sure, good morning. And, no, sir, I don't think I do know you. Why, police? No. No, I'm just a gag. Oh, it couldn't be. I was just talking to Mr. Clark, I'd on a phone. Why, he's on the phone right now.

11:28I'm just waiting for him to come back. Hello, Mr. Clark, I... Hello. Hello, hello, Mr. Clark, I... No. He doesn't answer. Well, wait a second. I gotta put on some music.
