We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
SURPRISE FOR THE BOYS
Voice. — (Off) That’s Blathery again.
Kosky. — (Shouting) Shut up! Yelling like that puts me right on the edge of blowing. (Laughs hollowly)
(Fade out)
Direction. — Fallow only on filter until further note.
(Fade in)
Fallow. — And listen, Stew, when Kosky starts to laugh you oughta see everybody duck. He’s laughin’ now.
Sound. — Faint laughter in background.
Fallow. — ^Long, loud peals of laughter. . . . Only he’s managin’ not to shakes his sides too much ... I hope.
Stewart. — Wait a second. Fallow. . . . Brady wants the wire.
Brady. — Hello, Fallow. . . . Now you stay right where you are because . . .
Fallow. — Hold on now, Brady. . . . I’m not hangin’ around here much longer. I don’t mind sayin’ I’m gettin’ the jitters.
Brady. — What! You don’t mean to tell me you’re scared. What kind of a newspaperman are you to be scared at a time like this ? Am I scared ? Is Stewart scared ? Are you yellow, man?
Fallow. — You don’t have to worry about the walls falling on top of you.
Brady. — What if they do fall on you? You’ll be dying with your boots on, won’t you? Is there a more glorious way of dying than with your boots on ?
Fallow. — I can think of quite a few.
Brady. — Well, I have no time to argue about that now. I’ll send the check to your wife if anything happens.
Fallow. — I’ll haunt you if you don’t.
Brady. — Is that a nice thing to say? Did I ever go back on my word ? Now look. Fallow. You gotta keep Kosky in the death chamber for a couple of minutes. I want a personal interview. I want pictures. Find out who made the cylinder. Where did he get the idea of doing this ? Find out if he’s in love.
