Transcript

Orson Wells as the third man lives of Harry Lyon the fabulous stories of the immortal character originally created in the motion picture the third man with Zither music by Anton Carath that was the shot that killed Harry Lyon he died in a sewer beneath Vienna as those of you know who saw the movie the third man yes that was the end of Harry Lyon but it was not the beginning

The line had many lives. And I can recount all of them. Very simple. Because my name is Harry Line. Third man in... Sea Naples and Live.

Once upon a time, there was an exquisite, huge emerald locket, which spent most of its life looking out of the world from the rather fleshy neck of Mrs. Donaldson. She waddled like a golden duck across the international social horizon.

I had a rather strong desire to change the habit out of this particular locket from the neck of this particular lady to my own particular etching palm. It was Naples before the war. Enter! Are you kept me impatient for an hour, Mr. Lime?

I'm sorry, I swear, I just flew in from London to got moved by, watch again. It is my knowledge that you have been in Naples for three days now, but it does not matter. I am a man with a skill for waiting.

I'm going to be very brief. I won't waste any more of your time. I know, at first I must tell you that I've made all the arrangements to dispose of the Donaldson Emerald. As soon as me posses it.

That was a small item I forgot to tell you about, Signor Rubio. I've decided to include you out. I do not think I understand. To be brief and simple, I've decided to dissolve our partnership, old man.
