00:00I'm your host, because I got a blast.
00:02I'm not showing you how you can experience it.
00:04I just wanna see a little bit of it.
00:06All right.
00:08It's a good start.
00:10I'm just a little bit of a perk on this.
00:12I'm just gonna have a six-year-old.
00:14I'm just gonna have to go ahead and grab some more and take it off.
00:16I'm gonna have to do so.
00:18I'm gonna have to go back to the next one.
00:20I'm just gonna have to come back to the next one.
00:22I'm gonna be here to go.
00:24I'm gonna have to go back to there,
01:26Well, we've got about ten minutes to tie this baby down before that storm breaks.
01:31So that's the way the wind blows, is it?
01:35This is no time for petty jealousy.
01:37I'm surprised at you, Tommy.
01:39All right, all right, only I don't need any church to fall on me.
01:43Scots the wheels, will you, Tommy?
01:45Okay.
01:49All right, folks, everybody out.
01:50Hurry, please.
01:52Watch your step, ma'am.
01:54Say, if you're a pilot, I'm going to hump on a camel's back.
01:59Better to get there late than not at all, young lady.
02:01Oh, thanks, Granny.
02:03May I help you?
02:04You can hold Peter Pan, if you will, while I straighten my hat.
02:18Come on, honey.
02:19Watch your step, please.
02:20Everything's all right.
02:22Now, everything's all right now, so don't get excited.
02:24Oh, I don't mind.
02:25I love excitement.
02:27Oh, may I take your bag?
02:28Oh, thank you.
02:31I took quite a jolt.
02:33Well, I'm sorry.
02:33This is not a regular landing field, you know.
02:35Don't misunderstand me, my boy.
02:36I'm not finding fault.
02:38Neither am I.
02:39But when I lit with my chin on the back of that chair,
02:41popped me on the jaw, I almost took the count.
02:44Well, I'll try and do better the next time.
02:45Oh, you're done pretty good.
02:47I'm glad we're on terracotta again, anyhow.
02:49Oh, terra firma, my dear boy.
02:51Okay, Professor.
02:52Professor, anyhow, I'm glad we're on terracotta
02:54and not wandering on up there in that bowl of soup.
02:56I'll say.
03:00Where are we, Captain?
03:01About 300 miles east of Los Angeles.
03:03What?
03:10Well, I got the wheels all blocked.
03:11Okay, Tommy.
03:12While I tell the folks what it's all about,
03:13you get the stakes, ropes, and clamps,
03:15and we'll tie her down.
03:16Okay.
03:17I'll help you, Tommy.
03:22How about their luggage?
03:26Any of you folks want your grips?
03:28We might be here all night.
03:29Oh, all night.
03:30All night.
03:31Oh, we can't do that.
03:32We can't stay here all night.
03:34Well, there's a house right over there.
03:35Whose is it?
03:36Well, your guess is just as good as mine, Mr. Hartley.
03:38But will they allow us to stay there?
03:40Well, the only way we can find out is by asking.
03:42Oh, but it's important that I get to Los Angeles tonight.
03:45Yes, but it's more important you get there alive.
03:46Oh, but don't you understand, Captain.
03:48I don't think...
03:48Just a minute.
03:49Now, listen, folks.
03:51I sat our ship down here because the radar reports warn us
03:54that there's a hundred-mile gale sweeping eastward
03:55through the San Gorgonian Pass
03:57and the nearest emergency field's on the other side of the range,
03:59and we'd never have made it.
04:01I didn't want to turn back to 21 as new as chanting it in this fog.
04:04Now, this is just a spot to land on, and that's all.
04:06And we're lucky we found it.
04:08What right of you to dump us down here in the middle of nowhere
04:11and then calmly inform us that we'll be here all night?
04:14Look, I think it's positively silly.
04:16Oh, don't be ridiculous, young lady.
04:18This man was only thinking of our lives.
04:20I'm due to open a show tomorrow night in Frisco.
04:22I'll be a wreck.
04:24If he hadn't landed us here when he did, we'd have all been wrecked.
04:27I heartily approve of your decision, Captain.
04:30And so do I, young man.
04:32Oh, attend to your knitting, will you?
04:34My knitting.
04:35My knitting!
04:36Has anybody seen my knitting?
04:39Please.
04:39Knitting?
04:40Knitting?
04:41Knitting?
04:44Well, if we have to stay here all night,
04:46your father will arrive in Los Angeles ahead of us,
04:49and that will throw a monkey wrench into our plans.
04:51You got it all tied down, Tommy?
04:53Okay.
04:54Come on, everybody.
04:55We'll have to make a run for it.
04:56We'll have to make a run for it.
05:08We'll have to make a run for it.
05:10We'll have to make a run for it.
05:10We'll have to make a run for it.
05:12We'll have to make a run for it.
05:13We'll have to make a run for it.
05:14We'll have to make a run for it.
05:15We'll have to make a run for it.
05:16We'll have to make a run for it.
05:17We'll have to make a run for it.
05:18We'll have to make a run for it.
05:19We'll have to make a run for it.
05:20We'll have to make a run for it.
05:21We'll have to make a run for it.
05:22We'll have to make a run for it.
05:23We'll have to make a run for it.
05:24We'll have to make a run for it.
05:25We'll have to make a run for it.
05:26All right, everybody, are we all here?
05:34One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, I'm here, ten.
05:48So am I.
05:49Eleven, you're twelve.
05:53And I seem to be thirteen.
05:56Thirteen?
05:58Good night.
06:00What's good about it?
06:01Huh?
06:02Oh.
06:03Anyone try the lights?
06:10I tried the lights, Captain.
06:12The current is off.
06:14Well, the doorbell rang.
06:15It's on Pepper's, I guess.
06:16There's probably a generating system in the cellar.
06:19Come on, Tommy, let's see.
06:20Need any help?
06:21No, thanks.
06:22It's just a simple matter.
06:23Let's go, Tommy.
06:24Right, coming.
06:26Ah, here she is, Tommy.
06:40You're right again.
06:43Looks like it hasn't been used for some time.
06:47Well, we're in luck.
06:48We have gas anyway.
06:50Hey, throw in that switch, Tommy.
06:51There you are, boy.
06:58Yeah, there you are.
07:00Hey, wait a minute.
07:04Come on out with it.
07:06You've had a drought down ever since we've left Albuquerque.
07:09Well, a fine friend you turned out to be.
07:11Now, what do you mean by that?
07:12You know very well what I mean.
07:14The idea of you walking off a fruit last night and leaving me flat.
07:18Well, we waited for you for a whole hour.
07:20Well, my watch was slow.
07:22Yeah, you was in that giant shooting craft.
07:24Well, that's my business.
07:26Now, you stood loose up on three or four dates.
07:28Is it a crime because I take it to a movie when you don't show?
07:31And I suppose you're all broken up about it, too.
07:34Oh, you act like a little schoolboy.
07:36If I did the right thing, I'd turn you across my lap and give you a darn good spanking.
07:39If you did the right thing, you'd stop chismin'.
07:42Hi, down there.
07:43How about some lights?
07:44Aren't you getting any up there?
07:46No, it's darker than the black hole of Calcutta.
07:49That's the fuse, probably.
07:55Yep, here it is.
08:00Ah.
08:02Glad that happened.
08:03Well, folks, here we are.
08:05But where are we?
08:06Huh?
08:07Oh, well, we may as well make ourselves at home.
08:10I don't like this delay.
08:15Hello, condensed soup.
08:17Hey, Tommy, bring it upstairs.
08:18We'll feed our wandering sheep.
08:22What's the matter with him?
08:23Is he paralyzed?
08:25If you think I admire you for acting like this, you're mistaken.
08:31Hey, wait a minute.
08:32Give me that.
08:34Now, listen, Ruth.
08:35I don't want...
08:36I mean, no moose at all.
08:37And neither are you.
08:41Well, this is some dump they got here.
08:43I beg your pardon.
08:44Well, you know, a swell layout.
08:46Oriental rugs and everything.
08:47Well, I'd trade it all for a good bowl of chop suey.
08:51You know, chop suey was really invented by an Irishman.
08:55I'm quite certain of it, madame.
08:57Yes.
08:58Miss Prudent Daggett.
09:01Senor Lynn, Miss Daggett, at your service.
09:06Then remove this cover.
09:08Anything I can do?
09:10Well, we might as well make ourselves comfortable.
09:12Why don't you take all the covers off the furniture?
09:15Sure.
09:16I tell you, Professor, in the eyes of the law, we are housebreakers.
09:21No more, no less.
09:23Well, from a purely legal standpoint, yes.
09:26But from a humanitarian viewpoint, no.
09:29I have no doubt that the owner of this mansion would welcome our presence here,
09:34where he acquainted with our predicament.
09:36Well, it's lucky that I'm not the owner.
09:39I'd throw us all out.
09:41Why, Floyd, you'd do no such thing.
09:44You'd tell us to make ourselves comfortable and serve coffee and sandwiches.
09:48Well, I can't guarantee you all that.
09:51But I found some soup in the kitchen.
09:54All those in favor say aye.
09:55Aye.
09:56Aye.
09:56Aye vote for that too, Captain.
09:58Well, that's fine.
09:59Now then, who will help?
10:00I will.
10:00No, you won't.
10:01I will.
10:02You sit right down and rest.
10:03I'll help him.
10:04Thank you, dear.
10:05That's sweet of you.
10:06Coming, Floyd?
10:07No.
10:09Too many cooks spoil the broth.
10:13Captain.
10:15Yes, sir?
10:16Don't you think we're going a trifle too far?
10:18After all, my boy, we're uninvited guests, you know.
10:21Oh, Tush, Tush, your reverence.
10:24If that's all that's worrying you,
10:25why, we can take up a collection and leave it with a note of thanks.
10:29The Lord would understand that he owned this house,
10:32and whoever owns this house is one of the Lord's children.
10:35I hope.
10:36Let us trust that he is.
10:39You know, that collection is a good idea.
10:41Thanks, Granny.
10:42I'm full of good ideas.
10:46Well, Reverend, what do you say?
10:47Do we sip soup or wish we had?
10:49I dare say the Lord will understand.
10:54Well, do we start?
10:56Come on, dear.
10:58If you'll excuse me, I think I'll light a fire.
11:01It's a bit chilly.
11:06All right, Captain.
11:12Need any help?
11:13No.
11:14You know, that pilot had one swell idea when he mentioned soup.
11:19It reminded me of one time when I was in training.
11:21Really?
11:31Contract?
11:31Yes.
11:32Thank you, Alan.
11:33Where'd you get the cards?
11:34Oh, I always carry them.
11:36And this, too.
11:38Peanut brittle?
11:39No, thanks.
11:40Peanut brittle?
11:41No, thank you.
11:42Peanut brittle?
11:43Why, thanks.
11:44I haven't had any of this stuff since I was a kid.
11:47Peanut brittle?
11:48Thank you, no.
11:51Say, Hartley, the way you handled Gibbs in that bland and expose
11:55was a brilliant example of criminal defense.
11:58Oh, you followed the case?
11:59Yes, very closely.
12:01I've been interested in law for many years.
12:03Criminal cases especially.
12:05An odd hobby for a professor of mathematics.
12:09But no stranger than mine for a plain businessman.
12:11What is this strange hobby of yours, Mr. Forbes?
12:15Renaissance miniatures.
12:17Rather expensive, isn't it?
12:19Yeah.
12:20But I don't indulge it.
12:24A diamond.
12:26Spade.
12:28Pass.
12:30Well, let me see.
12:32I don't know exactly what to do.
12:37Five clubs.
12:39Betting for a game, huh?
12:41I'll double five clubs just on general principles.
12:46Pass.
12:46Pass.
12:50Hard, huh?
12:51No, thanks.
12:56Yeah, fair enough.
13:14That's right.
13:18I'm sorry.
13:18Oh, that was an easy trick, wasn't it?
13:23Yes.
13:32Two, just our book?
13:39Mind if I look on?
13:41Certainly not. Would you care to play?
13:43Oh, no. Contract's one of the veiled mysteries as far as I'm concerned.
13:46There are a lot of people in the same fix, Miss Van Buren.
13:51Press on those islands?
13:52No, all clubs.
13:54Well, you played it and made it. I didn't think you had a chance.
13:58May I have a cigarette?
13:59Surely.
14:05I'm sorry.
14:06Oh, that's all right. It's been dropped before. Never mind.
14:17Don't forget, Hartley, that that club was doubled.
14:20I've got it now.
14:23Got a match?
14:25Yes.
14:31Running up quite a score, Hartley.
14:34We haven't started yet this week.
14:36Oh, there you are.
14:41Well, sit down.
14:49You're a prize fighter, aren't you?
14:51I was, lady. Was.
14:53But I saved my pile and quit two years ago.
14:56Ever been knocked out?
14:57Me?
14:58Knocked out?
14:59Ha, ha, ha.
15:00Why, listen, lady.
15:01You could hammer on that thing for two days, and I'd never feel a thing.
15:04Really?
15:05That's a fact.
15:07I saw you cold on the mat for two minutes when you fought Sweeney.
15:12Oh.
15:13Oh, yeah.
15:14Well, that, well, that was an accident.
15:17The cleanest, sweetest accident I ever saw.
15:20Huh?
15:21What?
15:22Oh.
15:33That's the best I can do for you, partner.
15:35Thank you, partner.
15:36Excuse me, please.
15:38Yes?
15:39Tell me, Miss Van Buren.
15:41I'm sorry.
15:43Oh, find your partner.
15:48Good day.
15:51Well, I made it, partner.
15:52Oh, fine.
15:53I...
15:54I didn't know whether you could or not.
15:55Mr. Buchanan, will you remove that fire screen?
15:56It's getting cold in here.
15:57Oh, sure.
15:58It's its old age creeping on.
16:00Yeah.
16:01Ha, ha, ha.
16:02My, they're slow with that soup, aren't they?
16:03Oh, my God, that's right.
16:04Gee, I'm so hungry, my stomach needs my throat's cut.
16:05Maybe I better go see what's holding them up.
16:06Do.
16:07Will you?
16:08Sure.
16:09Sure.
16:10Sure.
16:11Sure.
16:12Sure.
16:13Sure.
16:14Sure.

16:35Yeah.
16:36Sure.
16:37All right.
16:38Yeah, yeah, no.
16:42What is this?
16:44I'm sorry, yeah.
16:45Might you have to come.
16:46No, no.
16:48Yes, there.
16:51OK.
16:52Okay, Fire.
16:53Biscuits, I smell biscuits.
17:23Hiya, fella. Say, are you a magician? We found a package of ready-mixed biscuit flour and some condensed milk, if you call that magic.
17:35Is that soup or is that soup? I was thinking about him in just a minute, old man. Need any help? Yes, you can help Mr. uh, what's your name? Randy. You can help get the dishes. We'll eat in here. Righto. Come on, folks, the chief cook and bar washer says she wants some dishes. Dinner plate, soup plate,
17:53spoons, and napkins. Righto. Say, how long have you been married? Well, I'm not married. What made you think I was married? Well, aren't you? Not yet. Oh, you're going to be, is that it? To Mr. Martin, if our luck holds out. We're eloping. Oh, that's too bad. Too bad? Well, for me, first I think you're married and resign myself to a cruel trick of fate. Oh, the biscuits. The biscuits.
18:19Mm, how's that? I knew it, I knew it. Here all these years, I've waited for a girl who could make biscuits, and when she comes along, she's engaged. Hi-ho.
18:35My heart bowed down. It's a cold, cruel world, my friend. Hey, you think I'm kidding? Don't tell me you're not. Here, you poor, heartbroken boy. This'll make you feel better.
18:48Here. What was that? Perhaps we'd better investigate. Let's see what it was. Let's get out.
18:59We've been hit. Floyd, where are you? Over here by the arch. Are you all right? Yes, are you? Yes, stay where you are. How are you? Keep calm. Keep calm, everybody. We just blew out a fuse. We'll have light again in a second.
19:20Miss Daggett, Miss Daggett, where are you? Here I am. Oh, I wish I'd taken a train.
19:25Tell me. Tommy, where's that flashlight? I think it's in the kitchen. Hey, fella, need any help? No, thanks.

25:22the reason the forbes had wet sand in his hair from the back of his collar
25:26whoever hit him with this had the strength of an ox
25:30come on
25:36did you find anything
25:37what about the phone it's disconnected
26:04all right folks sit down we'll have a little talk
26:17now i'll come to the point my name is not marmont it's mcginnis
26:33i am not a professor of mathematics but a special agent an employer of the company which insured
26:40five hundred thousand dollars worth of diamonds which mr forbes was to have delivered to mayor seal and mayor of los angeles
26:49mr forbes mr forbes is dead and the gems are missing
26:57therefore it appears that someone in this group is a thief as well as a murderer
27:04that person clubbed him to death with this
27:11i dare say you have credentials to prove your assertion
27:19most certainly
27:23i expected you to ask that mr harvey
27:25no offense intended you understand quite all right you've made rather a serious accusation
27:39circumstances warrant it did anyone else know this consignment i did what you knew yes mr
27:47mcginnis told me about it at albuquerque he thought i should know in order that i might take due precautions
27:53i see anyone else
27:56no not that i know of may i see this
28:01why certainly
28:03you won't find any fingerprints on it
28:06if that's what you're looking for
28:08i wasn't looking for fingerprints my dear fellow
28:11then what
28:12by a process of elimination i believe that we might arrive at a conclusion conclusions don't count
28:20conclusions often lead to a conviction all right mr hartley when you get through let me know i shall
28:27let me see how are the gems carrying the chamois bag how many were there 47.
28:33500 thousand dollars for 47 diamonds for the large stones what they were all pure white and perfectly matched
28:42by a process of elimination we can dispose of the ladies i believe
28:50they were chattering like magpies during the entire time the lights were out and besides
28:55none of them seems capable of strong-arming anyone or using this
29:02you wouldn't say well that sounds reasonable
29:06the captain here he was in a cellar so we can dispose of him yes but the captain may have been in
29:11collusion with the thief for all you know what do you mean by that my janice uh-huh come-come captain
29:16let's not go off half-cock
29:19admitting that there's a possibility the captain may nevertheless have been in the cellar i suggest
29:24that the rest of us be searched uh including yourself certainly i was just about to propose that
29:31myself what he can start with me me too i want to find a bed somewhere and get some sleep i shall
29:38submit to the indignity i have no objection how about you mr buchanan nothing doing there ain't nobody
29:45searching me see you force us to a regrettable conclusion conclusions don't prove nothing
29:51you're practically admitting your guilt buchanan guilt my eye i was in the hall all the time and you
29:55know it if you have nothing to conceal you have nothing to fear i know my rights this ain't no court
30:00and there ain't nobody searching me see that's final oh quit just touring to town lay your hands i'll
30:05knock you cold don't don't mr buchanan i've got the diamonds what where did you get these in my knitting
30:17bites i have no idea how it got there in your knitting bag
30:31may i look at one of those why i guess so yes
30:34what's the joke the joke's on forbes if you thought he was carrying diamonds what these things are
30:47paste what they're not genuine why paste you're crazy bonnie's rock crystal worth about uh five
30:56dollars a piece if you don't think so look at this you see it won't even scratch glass well i'll be
31:09i know but very little about these things but i agree with you mr hartley they do lack brilliancy
31:17well i'm downed if i don't think you're right well what do you
31:20what do you make of it my dear watson somebody thought these things were real discovering they
31:34were paste-ditched there's a man dead out there i thought of these things as far as i see it heartley
31:40it's nothing to joke about
31:42tell them againish you're quite right well what next
31:56say buchanan why were you so anxious not to get searched huh oh well if you want to know
32:06i had some picture porch cards in my pocket that ain't nobody else's business but mine
32:10say mr buchanan well he asked so i told him just a minute where are you going i'm in the kitchen to
32:21get some meat i'm with you on that come on doris nobody's going to leave this room
32:30now just a second old man mr buchanan pointed out we're not on trial
32:35it's not likely that any of us will try to escape in such a storm now i suggest that you calm down
32:44and while you do so we'll all have something to eat
32:49afterwards if you wish we can talk as much as you want to meantime ladies are tired some of us are hungry
32:58only for you heartley let's see why is it that you're so anxious to eat all of a sudden my privilege
33:08all right captain will you escort us to the kitchen
33:11badly all right everybody this way

46:11i don't know how to handle it now as mr hartley would say we'll see if we can't reach a few
46:21conclusions
46:25someone in this group is a murderer
46:28and a thief we know all that get down the cases and as i started to say we're going to find out
46:34which one of us it is gone get gone
46:36well not a single man not a thing
46:45as you were saying some one of us is a murderer and a thief
46:50i question your right to the assertion of the fact
46:53oh never this proceed proceed a conclusion old man merely a conclusion and conclusions sometimes lead to
47:04convictions your trick thanks now i have here something found in the room where mr forbes met
47:15his death an object by its own peculiar nature we must necessarily and by a simple elementary deduction
47:24associate with mr ling there you are what did i tell you what mr ling why
47:34this is yours ling
47:40no come on you quit stalling remove your hand
47:48stop it you karen well you didn't expect him to admit it was his did you
47:53i know that it is yours ling because i saw you with it in the plane about an hour after we left albuquerque
47:59ahhh on that you base your conclusion
48:05on that i base my conclusion now just a minute old man as you so aptly observe conclusions are often wrong
48:14now see here my dear fellow you're wrong all wrong oh yeah
48:19i suppose you're gonna try and prove it belongs to somebody else
48:24i'm afraid i must because it does really it belongs to me to you to me mr ling
48:37mr forbes and i were discussing chinese art during the course of the evening mr ling
48:43commented on the ivory as a perfect example of nichki carving
48:49as mr forbes admired it greatly i i presented it to him with my compliments mr forbes is not here
48:56to corroborate that statement ah but mr ling is
49:00i did not see him do so but i quite willing to credit his assertion that he did hey what's that ling
49:26i'm sorry
49:30well well your trick mr mcginnis thanks
49:43aren't you going to question mr ling about his uh wound that too requires explanation
49:52i'm sorry i believe myself i'll cut this out on some gas and stuff and get down the cases oh shut up you
49:58get down the camera says he slugged someone on the cheek yeah with my ring say look at that scratch
50:05on his face where were you i heard talking in the hall shortly afterwards someone entered from the
50:12connecting passage whoever it was heard me move an alarm down there a bro cost unconsciousness ah that's a lot of
50:21bob bob have you any idea just whom this may have been if you will permit me to proceed in my own way
50:29i may be able to answer mr hartley's most pertinent question shoot thank you
50:46me
50:52pardon me
50:55pardon me
50:56pardon me
51:01Pardon me?
51:21Pardon me.
51:23Please take it.
51:31Pardon me?
51:39Pardon me.
51:51Pardon me.
52:01Pardon me.
52:09Pardon me.
52:13Pardon me.
52:23Well?
52:25Well, if I trip for a moment into your field, Mr. McGinnis, I trust you understand that
52:44he is only with a desire to be of assistance.
52:53It's on the premise that the thief will not keep the diamond on his person.
52:59That the person who passed through the alcove also passed through this room.
53:05That's right, someone did.
53:08We heard him, didn't we?
53:10Thank you, Miss Daggett.
53:14And then on into the hall, present day when the lights came on.
53:19Well, that sounds well enough.
53:22But your bird of passage could have more easily been you than anyone else.
53:28But your bird of passage left a trail, the scent of lavender.
53:35And?
53:36Perhaps Dr. Winget might be able to assist you.
53:42Why, this is preposterous, that one of the cloth.
53:47Mr. McGinnis, are you going to permit this insinuation?
53:51We have only your word that you detected the odor of lavender from this mysterious person.
53:59Whom, as you say, passed through the alcove and into this room.
54:02Ah, he's just trying to hang on to the dock, that's all.
54:05Come on, now.
54:07No more stalling.
54:08We know you took him.
54:09Where'd you hide him?
54:10Uh, one moment, Buchanan.
54:12McGinnis, may I ask Ling a few questions?
54:14I'll ask a few myself, Hartley.
54:16We're going round in circles like a dog chasing its tail.
54:19Diamonds, old man.
54:21Diamonds.
54:22Don't forget, Hartley.
54:23We've only your word for it that you gave Forbes that ivory.
54:27By Jove, I've forgotten.
54:29I'm still a suspect.
54:31You're in just as tough a spot as Ling.
54:34Here they are.
54:35Here they are.
54:36What?
54:37Huh?
54:38Why, where did you get those from?
54:41I'll be.
54:42Stand where you are.
54:45Bring them here, Grandma.
54:46Say, you can't get away with that one.
54:48Oh, can't I?
54:49Don't try, Buchanan.
54:50I warn you.
54:52Come on, Grandma.
54:53I'm in a hurry.
54:54Come on, Grandma.
54:55You're coming.
54:56Come on, Anna.
54:57Stay where you are.
54:58What?
54:59Uh.
55:00Frank, who's following me?
55:01Here, Buchanan.
55:02Come on, Jamie.
55:03Stay where you are.
55:05Uh.
55:06Uh.
55:07Oh.
55:08Uh.
55:09Uh.
55:10Oh.
55:11Oh.
55:12Uh.
55:13Uh.
55:14Eric...
55:15Hey.
55:16Uh, uh.
55:17Oh.
55:18Uh.
55:19Uh.
55:20Oh.
55:21Oh!
55:22Uh.
55:23Randy, be careful.
55:34Are you the rat that slugged me?
55:37Randy, are you hurt?
55:39I know.
55:39We're going to leave.
55:41Oh, boy.
55:43And I was going to ask him to marry us.
