adventure of Sam Spade. And this is another episode which I was not really in circulation till about

three or four years ago. The original air date is February the 2nd of 1947 and the title is

the dead.caper. The adventure is about Sam Spade detected.

Happy! Happy! Happy! I waited. They would have to say it out of goal. You've been through a tough time. You didn't make it any easier. I think it was a

cakewalk for me. You think mine herbs. I made a rubbers. You have no nerve. You've got the gold,

talent, and the taste of you. You're going to listen. You're going to sit still, not talk and listen. When I finished,

you say good night, a good fight. First, you're going to listen to me. Remember how it started. This is

the evening when you told me to come on this birthday. You were giving a party you said you wanted me to come.

I tried to beg off being no social butterfly, but mom would be hurt you said. So the next thing I know,

though I was at your house surrounded by two dozen strangers, ten gallons of lemonade and your mother.

I've been wanting to have a talk with you, Mr. Spade. About that.

I can't think of a nice or such experience.

Happy is just so devoted to you, Mr. Spade.

Yeah, well, I'm very devoted to ethics.

So what I mean is that, you know, I'm dying on a street.
