Transcript

Get this and get it straight. Crime is a sucker's road. And those who travel and wind up in the gut of the prison of the grave. There's no other end, but they never learn. There are times when life makes no sense at all.

When confusion is the keynote and all we do is run and never tightening circles. The one and one is too school is closed and nothing comes out even. In the thirty hours just past I'd wrapped up a case in considerable of my youthful zest along with it.

I was bone tired. When I reached my apartment sank deep into my bed. It wasn't so much to sleep but to die a little. And I was not long dead. Oh okay. Oh those slippers. Okay.

Hey! Honey, it's more than fifteen minutes sleep. Ooh, yeah. Yeah. Mr. Marlow, I've got to see you. It's very important. Yeah, it better be. It's awfully late, I know. You're nice to let me in.

Did I let you in? Yes. Just now. You're not still asleep, are you? No. No, I don't think so. You see, I always sleep lying down. It's a habit. You must know I wouldn't bother you this way, but weren't it?

Well, someone's following me, Mr. Mallow. He's been following me for I don't know how long. No. I'm so frightened. Oh, come on. How about a cup of coffee, huh? Oh, really, Mr. Mallow? I don't think you're listening to me.

I can make it worth your while. I wish I'd wake up. Yeah, well, that's what coffee's for. Come on, come on. You can talk to me while I make it, hm? Now, you were saying someone's following you.
