Ladies and gentlemen, the American Broadcasting Company brings to its entire network on a radio's most unusual program. Pat Novak, for Hire. I'm Pat Novak, for Hire. That's what the sign on in front of my shop says.

Pat Novak, for Hire. Down here in the San Francisco waterfront, it's got to be that way. You got to rob a few graves if you want cigarette money.

charge account. Well I should have known that when I went to the bank I was up to my knees in mud and didn't even know it was rainy season. It was Tuesday. I went by the bank to drop a hundred bucks. It was about time because they were beginning to play handball with my checks. Must have been about eleven o'clock when I got to the window.
