Yes, right now a glass full would be very pleasant. As Roma wines bring you short order, a remarkable tale of... ...Suspense! Thank you very much. Come back. Bailey's diner. Well, this is Mr. Bailey speaking.

Oh, oh, I'm sorry, uh, you're just a little late on that. I hired a fry cook day before yesterday. I'm sorry I forgot to tell the newspaper to stop running that ad until this morning.

I got a good man. No, no, one man's all I need. Just got a small place here. That's all right. Bye. See that, Johnson? You better keep on your toes. No, no, Mr. Bailey. You're not careful, you know?

Well, what's the matter? Don't you want to take my money? Oh, sure. Yes. Yes, of course, sir. 75 out of 1. 5, 1. Thank you. Okay. Hey, Johnson. Johnson, good Lord. Did you see that man's face?

Yeah, you're telling me. It's enough to haunt your dreams. Kind of made you nervous, didn't you, Mr. Bailey? Well, after all, it's kind of a shock to look up and see you. Yeah, I noticed you hung kinda close to that gun, you keep under the gas register.

Did I? Automatic reflex, I guess. Oh, poor guy, I ought to be ashamed. Probably got that way in an explosion accident or something, you know. Yeah, looks like a plastic surgery job. Only some doctor like Frankenstein must have done the surgery.
