Ladies and gentlemen, we take you now by transcription behind the scenes of a pulley said quarters in a great American city We're under the cold glaring lights. We'll pass before us the innocent the vagrant the thief the murderer This is the lineup Mr. Delgren yes, that's right. I'm lieutenant Guthrie. Oh, I'm glad to know your lieutenant
Wasn't sure I was in the right place. Yes. This is it now. We can sit down over here. Sure I'll do that. Anywhere you say, sir? Excuse me, please. And pardon me? I feel kind of embarrassed, Lieutenant.
No need, Joe. I thought I knew my way around, and I fall for the old badger game. Happens every day. I suppose so. First time it ever happened to me, though. Hey, I have your attention, please.
You people out there on the other side of the wire in the audience room. May I have your attention, please? Thank you. My name is Cogger, Sergeant Pete Cogger. I'll explain the line up to you.
Each of the suspects you will see will be numbered. I'll call off a number, the name in charge. If you have any questions or identifications, please remember the number assigned to the prisoners I call his name.
At the end of each line, I'm going to ask for questions or identifications. Call out the number. If you're sure, and not too sure, the suspects have him held. The questions I ask, the suspects immediately get an actual tone of voice, so do not pay too much attention to their answers as they often lie.
Alright, bring on the line. Okay, move on up to the end of the stage. Right over here, step it up. You're there, I said, move over here. That's it. I'll turn all of it and face the screen.
