The Short Term Matter

Johnny dollar. Hi Bill. Hi, boy. Terrible. I said do you want to buy a pair of skis? That's right. You did. What's the matter? North Slope. Chickpea Mountain, New Hampshire over the weekend. No, I sure did, but not the way you think.

Felt some cute little blind. No, no. Doc Hubble and I just started up the on the ski left and my chair broke loose and fell on top of me and almost busted my back. Hurts even to talk about it.

So over the past three days I've been doing nothing but sitting around my apartment here quietly suffering and feeling sorry for myself. Oh, that's too bad, Johnny. And to make matters worse, Doc has me all strapped up in one of these corsets, one of these sacral lumbar supports.

Oh, brother. I'd leave and breathe without wincing. Oh, I'm sorry. So have you had any idea about asking me to tear down there to Jersey? Oh, I wouldn't think of it, Johnny. No. I'm afraid so.

Yeah, you better get some other investigator on this. Larry Moody. Yeah. Fingers Moody, the safe operator. Yeah. You got a lead on him? We sure have. But if you're not in shape... Well, what's the matter with you? Why didn't you say so?

Well, if you're on the sick list, Johnny... Well, let somebody else have a crack at that crook nut on your life. Now, listen. Oh! Yeah, you see? With that back of yours in bad shape.

What are you talking about? I'm talking about bail, you sit tight, I'm on my way. CBS Radio brings you Bob Redick in the exciting adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account, America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator, yours truly, Johnny Dollar.
