The American Broadcasting Company presents Quiet please.

Quiet please for tonight is called the oldest man in the world.
It was bitter cold up there in the uplands that put hills of the Pyrenees 20,000 years ago.
The great sheet of glacier ice had slid down from the polar ice cap under the mountain peaks of Roosevelt.
There were rings here in southern France.
Ringdeer and the great Shaggy Bison.
The long-haired ancestor of the horse slid somehow on those dead hills in the bitter cold of 200 centuries ago.
No man ripped down the time when the southern glaciers let go their icy hold on the countryside.
Further were no men to see it.
Only the first great bear is roaming the barren frigid hills,
train horribly on the reindeer and the bison in the gentle frightened horses.
Where the men came from, nobody knows.
Perhaps they struggled up from the Spanish peninsula with the jagged passes of the Pyrenees,
following the retreating world of ice, perhaps they,
but its fruitless suspected it.
The ice melted away to the north when the earth appeared,
and they were men living in the high caves of the Pyrenees.
In the Cromanyan caves along the dark dome in France,
they found what they said was indisputable evidence of prehistoric man,
then intelligent, walking upright man who made weapons, flopped, worshiped, and died.
The Cromanyan, you've seen the drawings they made of it,
a beetle-browed heavy-jawed caveman,
a sharp step on the ladder of evolution above his anthropocal base.
And in certain caves hidden away in the foothills of the Pyrenees,
you can find drawings that the Cromanyan man scratched on the cave walls 20,000 years ago.
So he did live and flourish, and finally perished.
And they said he vanished under the sea.
That is what they say.
Now I'll tell you what I know.
Why I think I ought to tell Lucas, I know the story even better.
Did you hear that?
Did you hear a voice speaking to you?
I thought I heard a voice.
I thought I heard Harry's voice.
Listen.
It couldn't be Harry's voice, could it?
Not Harry's voice, Harry's.
I had, Harry.
The last time I saw Harry alive was 27 years ago, it was coming August.
Listen.
It can't be.
I wonder if Harry's bicycle is still up there beneath the clump of the bushes.
They've retrieved now.
Up there at the mouth of the cave on the road.
The lonesome road that digs past the ruins of the castle, what's that?
It will be rusty, the towers will be in shreds and a shiny leather of the weather worn and they'll do it.
If some village boy from Alpha Spand didn't find the bicycle and ride it away many years ago.
But how about anybody found it?
Nobody found the mouth of that cave.
Not for 20,000 years.
We looked at my cycles at the mouth of the cave.
Harry and Lucille and I, they can sit here on the cave until the storm is over.
Long ride down the village and I don't want to get clocked one of these young floods.
I'd even find a road where it's after rain.
I'd pull your bike inside Lucille and start running any second.
We made it just in time, it looks like.
It's time, Lucas.
Congratulations.
I want a cigarette.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Oh, it's me.
New boys are self-aligned.
No, no, no.
Not for even one match, was it?
I'm sure.
I've got any matches.
Here.
Thanks.
A light made.
Like you've never tried staying.
Ah.
Cold Lucille.
I don't like lightning.
There comes a rain.
Let's get father inside. It's coming right in here.
It's probably damp in there too.
Nice and dry.
Dry or cold?
No, Lucas.
It's going right in there.
I'll say it is.
Where are you going to see?
There.
Dry leaves.
Oh, fine.
Sit down.
Sit down, Lucas.
Lock on me.
I can't see you.
Oh.
This is all right.
Come to Lucille.
Fine.
Oh, listen to him.
No.
I'm causing him here.
You know one of the ladies and kids.
Oh.
Kid, man.
Pro-magia, man.
Who's any of them ladies here?
Big kids.
Think they're going to win.
Probably they did.
They lived in all the caves around here.
Remember what the Abbey told us down the village?
Oh, two blocks where they grew up.
Sure they find relics everywhere.
They lived here all right.
Nobody home now though.
Hardly.
And I was 20,000 years ago.
I should dare, Charlie.
Oh, cool, cool.
Have they lived in all the caves around here?
They must have lived here.
They've explored all the caves from here to to Lucille.
This one's kind of hidden though.
We just found it by accident.
Good accident.
Can we be out in that?
Sure.
Coming down.
I'm hungry.
It'll stop pretty soon.
I hope so.
Will you just keep something that road will be something for all of you?
Don't pass.
No.
Very good.
Wow.
What are you going with it?
It's dark.
Find a cave there.
What's the matter with me?
I can get it off.
Don't go far loose so you'll break your leg in the dark back there.
Yeah, and I don't want to have to carry you down that mountainside in the mud.
I've got my flashlight.
Be careful.
You got another cigarette?
Hmm.
Yeah, much.
You've got nothing but the carpet, Lucas.
Thanks.
We're going back on the hill.
Be careful.
Oh, it's not up.
My bride.
Yeah, what if this cave really has my sword?
I wouldn't know.
It'd be nice to find a Susan here and take home with us.
What kind of Susan there?
Bone or something?
There's some cave man's name carved on it.
Property of a son of guzzard.
There are carved things on bones.
Carved pictures on the walls of the cave.
How are you going to pry the wall off a cave?
Let's see them.
Let's see them.
Hey, let's see them.
I'm all right.
Hey, there's back in here.
What'd you expect?
Robbins?
I'll stick here.
I wouldn't round or round back there, let's see them.
I'm all right.
I'll be careful.
Come back here.
Hey, there's a big hole back here.
We'll stay away from it.
Stop running here.
It's coming down to 100 never.
Getting dark often.
Well, we're dry.
None of that brandy glass, is it?
I heard that.
Well, there ain't any.
We should come back here.
Come back here.
Hey, that's a wonderful back here.
Well, come on back here.
Come back before you get lost.
All right.
Is there any pictures back there?
There's like a moon there.
What?
The moon, Rob.
Where the pictures are?
In Paris.
France.
Oh.
They're on the walls.
No, no pictures.
Are you better come back?
Well, I know the city has fallen off the wall.
You stay away from it.
What are you waiting for now?
I think there's water down there.
Water outside, too.
Oh, let me see.
Come back here now.
Stop fooling around.
Don't take it.
No, Rob.
You heard it.
Hey.
What's the matter?
We'll see you.
We'll see you.
We'll see you.
What's the matter with you?
Come on, Lucas.
Wait, I got my flashlight.
Who's here now?
Stay still.
Look out for that hole, Harry.
Look out this way.
What happened?
You're both scared today.
What happened?
Look!
What?
A footpe.
A caveman footpe.
Yeah, let's see.
And a solid rock.
How did he get here?
Yeah.
A caveman put it there.
20,000 years ago.
In the solid rock?
Well, that was soft mud.
20,000 years ago.
So, remember man's.
A beetle brown heavy jaw.
Crow man and man left it there.
In the soft last one mud.
And the mud is hard.
And through all those 200 times,
I understand.
And look, Sid, he just walked away.
The man have made it.
He's not even a dead man anymore.
He could die.
He was a skeleton somewhere in here in the balls of the earth.
The centuries went on and on.
This is...
He's not even dust.
I'm into me that footprinted.
It's his ears.
You don't need to be afraid of him.
Let's see.
Harry.
Under.
Under, that's all.
Hold my hand, Harry.
I'm scared of all the things.
It's nothing to be afraid of.
Harry.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
But...
But...
Let's get out of here.
I'm scared.
Come on, dear.
Let's go back where we were,
and not wander around till the rain stops.
Over this way, Harry.
But there are always...
Harry.
Harry.
Harry.
Harry.
Harry.
Harry.
Harry.
Harry.

I pushed him.
His eyes were on the footprint of the yellow line stone floor of the cave.
It was just like a backwards step.
Directly throw the warning hole and let it.
And I pushed him in.
Just the lightest touch on his arm just enough to take his balance away from him on that glaze of ancient christening lifestyle.
Just the lightest push.
And the seal side.
Of course.
The seal had promised to marry me.
That was before Harry's time.
The seal loved me.
That was before Harry's time.
I loved the seal.
Before Harry's time and after Harry's time and always.
But she married Harry.
They asked me to come around to the south of France with a little good friend, the friend of the family, the man who loved and lost him,
for gave and wrapped up his broken heart.
Look as the angelus.
Look as the good visitor, they could follow good old repress.
And at last the stone set opportunity deep in the cave for the oldest man in the world admit.
He would forget the man who died of an accident in that ancient place.
And a tiny good friend would take up his role as the lecher.
The rarely it never forgotten.
But the seal saw what I did.
I remember the thoughts that raced through my line as we stood beside that pit there and the brief lights from our pulpit flashlights.
I had to do something.
I had to try. I had to make a look as if I was only trying to save him from falling.
He's dead down there.
He'll get his head on the rocks as he's covering his bones. Black water's down there.
There's something to put in there.
Look.
I had to climb down there.
I would only have to climb hard way down to make it look good.
To make it look as if I really wanted to rescue him.
And to be great at it.
And finally I make it look good.
To be sure I was trying to save him if I climbed down after him.
And I was dead anyway.
The seal.
They're absurd.
Let's see, listen to me.
They're not perfecting.
Now I didn't push.
How are you here?
I didn't push here.
Every start as I said, I was fixing on the front.
And I tried to save him from falling.
But I didn't push him.
You see, I didn't push him.
My hair was my best friend to see him.
Why should I try to kill him?
I love you.
Can I love her like I'm proud of you?
I didn't push him.
I tried to save his life.
Listen to me.
Stop crying a second.
I'm going down here.
There, see?
Listen to the steps.
Steps to your pavement living steps along the road.
And you stay right here in the seal.
And I go down and I do everything I can to bring her back here.
When I stayed there, I would wait.
Right in the seal, wait.
I could climb down.
No, I don't want her to do this.
Let me hold her.
I know who I am.
I know who I am.
I know who I am.
I just see her.
Then I'll soon have that smile.
I have no other action.
You might be still on my back like I'm back.
But I won't lose a seal darling like I'm back.
I thank you very much for the suggestion I heard.
Self-suffering, problem, and her energy.
And how down the slippery steps get into the limestone.
Down, snow so carefully in the dark.
Little, gurgling sound of dark waters below me.
But sleep, be careful, and don't fall yourself, Lucas.
And up above the thin beam from the sea of spiced light,
I'm very, very mean, designed down.
Hey, bad guy, are you all right?
Hey, how are you all right?
Maybe he isn't it.
Maybe he didn't drop it.
I don't know how to resist it.
The rocks are slippery.
But can I see what I've suddenly I've put to?
Oh, hey.
Now I'm going to glass like the sea down here.
I have nothing on the surface of the water.
Harry?
No.
And being a sweet snack in front of us is really dark as he was.
Harry?
This one.
If I were to the right.
To the left?
Harry?
Harry?
I don't see anything, sir.
Harry?
He's not down.
Lucas?
I heard.
Lucas?
Is that you, Harry?
Where?
Lucas.
Where are you?
Harry?
Harry?
I don't know.
Harry?
You all right?
I'm fine, I'm all right.
Don't come into the water.
Sir, are you all right?
The water isn't deep.
Don't go.
Listen, I don't.
Don't.
I'm quick, I'm close.
Come on, Harry.
Where are you?
Come on, quick.
Where are you?
Be around the side.
Harry, don't make something of shit.
Be around the side.
Hello.
Harry, are you all right, Harry?
I'm just kidding around the side of the walls.
I'm not even having a subway at my chest.
I don't know why I don't find it.
I don't know.
I'm not even about a second.
I really don't know if it's just a second.
I'm not even about a second.
I'm not even about a second.
I'm not even about a second.
I'm not even about a second.
Harry?
Harry, you are a very strange guy.
Pregnant, darkness, the princess's gone over here.
I'll find him. I'll find him.
I'll find him. I'll find him.
I'll find him. I'll find him.
All right.
Oh!
Yes.
Hurry up.
Your hour is over.
That is the tunnel that comes out of that whole life.
Challenger.
Underground River or something.
here. I still know how you I think I broke my arm and I fell trying to get back to
the tunnel but the currents too strong. You don't have to help me Lucas. Wait, not scared
I am. This is another case. Not afraid of a kid, man. I am. Where are you? Where are you?
I am. It's so dark. Can't see a thing. Try to flash light. Let's go to one of that.
Hey, that's right. Select tanks. The hundred feet behind you heading
disney from the ceiling so far away. The silent rushing underground river to the shore of
yellow crystallized limestone. The seven-year-old deep scratch with giant drones that I recognize in
a fever like this the great shaggy bison of the ice age. Road lines and red and black at the
general little horses that run the countryside above me one day. I read out here an inch from
terrifying knots scratched them at a side raccoon at days end of a supplement marks that the
cavemen's high priests must have made there in their hiding of hoodies and news or trees.
Beside moving in cradial essentially the great ice mare learning how to move into the light
and the marks of the ritual stirrospheres clear in its height and sides after 20,000 years.
Look.
This is a really safe figure. I don't know those men. Big or brown, heavy brown, heavy
jog, heavy horrible, heavy shoulder. You know how much you look is a statue too.
Now you know, don't you? Not the oldest man in the world left like you.
Nobody's ever seen anything like that. Very certain that light. The alluded to if we're
going to get out of here to tell anybody about it. Now it's all right. This is the fresh battery.
It's incredible. Look at his face. Side of the rhinestone.
It's scary out here, but I don't know. I don't know how I want to get out of here. Can we
play for me? I want it. I want to get out of here. That's the sound of the weather. The weather down.
I thought I heard the sound of the weather down. Right there in the shadow. Nothing. There is
to something back there. The jade man. The crew men and men are alive after 20,000 years. Look
is something. I can hear whatever there's a man. Harry. What? You said you broke your
arm. I said so. I said I couldn't get back through the passage with a broken arm.
I couldn't get back there with a broken arm. Not because I don't want to do it in a year with
many locusts. I want to do it in a year with whatever else is in here. Harry, you're the smart guy.
You're the investigator. You're the man that knows all about the crew men. You're the
man. What? A merger on locusts. I said the first one you pushed me, a merger. So, no. Wait.
The bad locusts. You're not going to leave me. I can just do that. Passies just as well as you can.
A merger with that broken arm locusts. Not with two broken arms. You're not going to
turn your arms into self. Now look what you've done. You smashed the earliest statue in the world
of bits. Not content with attempted murder. You turned your arms into locusts and let's get
this over. Got that right. Hey, I told you.
I made my way back through the passage. How I never know if I made it.
I made the climb up the slippery limestone. The residents get up to the floor of the
cave. I don't know how I did that. I stood for an hour and an hour inside the seal and I
came up to the cave floor. I remember how the yellow floor glittered and purpose left of a
life and hurt dying flashlight. The seal I sent. The seal I loved you. And I loved you.
And I loved you and I loved to try to murder Harry. If I let you go to seal, you'll tell
everybody. They'll take me and they'll hang me. And it's not good to see you.
All right.
The
seal. Harry's dead.
Harry's dead. You'll never know of seal. No, I didn't murder him.
I tell you I didn't murder him. I love his death, but I didn't murder him.
I don't want to leave any longer.
Yes, I know of you.
But I didn't murder Harry.
I tried, but I didn't do it.
Very good.
And I picked her up, and just as gently as I could,
I dropped her over the edge of the hunting black pit,
down into the rudder down here.
And before I listen to my hands metaphor,
I then drove her,
and I kissed her on a fight,
because I did love her.
Did it hang to me?
She wouldn't have believed me.
Nobody in the world would have believed
that thing that came out of the shadows
behind Harry down there,
and lifted up a great tag of peace
of a broken statue and smashed it head in.
Nobody in the world would have believed me
if I'd driven that Harry was killed.
Harry arrived,
breathing cavemen.
The last of the people proud,
heavy-jawed,
scrappy little men with lived 20,000 years ago.
But that's what happened.
The time was a nice quiet day,
because the oldest man in the world,
has been directed by Willis Cooper,
and the man who spoke to you
was Harry.
He was the only man in the world
who has been directed by Willis Cooper.
And the man who spoke to you was Harry.
He was the only man in the world
who has been directed by Willis Cooper.
And the man who spoke to you was Ernest Chappell.
And Don Briggs was Harry.
Not so shard and was receiled.
As you were using the climb today,
it was going off and running.
I saw the facts.
I really enjoyed the project.
Now, what are we going to about next week?
I read a director, Willis Cooper.
Thank you for listening to Cry of Peace.
Trying to give you my memory of the sky
and the house where I was born.
And so, until next week at the same time,
I am proud to hear her join us tonight.
This is ABC, the American blood-casting company.
