This is written and directed by Willis Cooper and the features Ernest Chackel, Quiet please for today is called where do you get your idea? All I said to him was where do you get your ideas? I look what he did to me. I came in this bar and I sat down quiet by myself When I started the bar, I turned to Charlie. He makes me a dry man, Hathman. What do all of it's in it?

So I had my dry man, Hathman. Then I had another. I began to look around. There wasn't anybody else in the bar, but this skinny little guy in the corduroy shirt sitting down at the other end of the bar, drinking ginger ale and talking kind of to Charlie. So I got interested. Yeah, there's in the bar. And I took my drink and I walked up the end of the bar and then sat down alongside the guy. He didn't pay any attention. And he said, hey, I don't see very well, I listen. What they was talking about was radio. So I'm very interested in radio. I got a set that Rudy made for me. And it's the time that sets you ever saw. It's amazing how I get to good radio set. Well, in the minute I discovered that they weren't talking about radio space. And they were talking about radio programs. Then I really do get into rest. Just so I said to Charlie, you're my friend of drinks.

Maybe the guy in there. Why didn't you want to drink? If I wanted to drink, I can buy it. I didn't want to drink. So I just sat there and listened to him talk. Change is what's awful interesting. Talk about people in radio. You know, people you're just saying things and acting and all that. Last about things that happened. There was especially interesting to me because I am such a radio fan, see? So I was listening to all my ears. But they don't pay any attention. You were just a big guy. So I can't stand it any longer. And I say to the fellow in the corridor, I say, you and radio mistakes. You want another time and a half in time? Sure, Charlie. But only my name's not Tom. It's Basil B. A S-I-L-I-Casso, that's one in the movie. Sure, I'll have another dry man happen. You and radio on the street? Yeah, he's in the radio. Believe the man answers the question, Charlie.

He don't like the talk. But he's talking to you. I'm not a stranger. I thought I'm not even. My name's Basil Gettler. Mr. Gettler, do I have to meet you? Thanks. You're a radio, Mr. Gettler? Yes, he is a great Tom. Basil, Charles, and my Tom. So why do you call him Tom, Charlie? It means Basil B. A S-I-L-I-Casso. So hard to remember names at a bar. Everybody sees a Tom or George to me. How do you tell him apart? All the good guys, they're George. I see. Why are you doing radio, Mr. Gettler? I write, Tom. Story? Yeah. Charlie, give me another ginger ale. We get with a little lemon peel this time. It's a dude. That will what? Kind of stories.

Fans have quick stories, I guess. I think I'm on the little ginger ale in the shop. There's light murder stories. Sometimes. Charlie, what time is it? 30 minutes, closing time. That's what I figured. No, I sure like murder stories. Oh, my God. I can't tie. So I'm going to... Could I ask you a personal question, Mr. Gettler? And I love it, how you live? I haven't expected it, sir. I said, could I ask you a personal question, Mr. Gettler? Well, I was just wondering where you were, your dear, your ideas. I just think about it. Do you? Sometimes you get ideas about people who talk to strangers, be barred. Sometimes you just don't want to be talked to. Do you?

Sometimes. I can tell you, you murder stories. Did you? You guys sure could. We know some murder stories. I don't believe I could tell you. True murder stories. Love times. But in the next couple of years, I've been murdering stories. I don't know what a guy man has. Sure. But not good true murder stories like I can tell. Looks bad, so did you ever murder anybody? Me? Because not so much from your shop. Yes, you. Did you ever murder anybody? Sure. Do you think the doctor could have a chance to share it? I like Casey Stangle. It looks like dirt's food's staying. You know it's more about baseball than she does. I murdered a woman. Are you been in a laundry? I murdered a woman. Are you a violation?

Well, I did. When? Well, who? Tonight. Get close to her and last night. Stand the night before and then last Thursday. She's a very dumb man. She'll run out of women's battle. You know this is the same one. She won't stay dead. She'll perish herself out in the lobby. As long as I go look and call a doctor, I'll make me another a drunk and I'll have one before you go. I'll make it when I come back. Don't leave me alone here with a murderous child. Well, I won't hurt you in this room. Thanks. Hurry up, Charlie. I want another drunk man having a beer. I'll be right back. I'm going out to work for him. Really? I don't think he's going to work for many of us. Who's rooming?

Manuel's the bouncer. He won't find her now. Her? Manuel's there. Him? I'm rooming. I'm murdered. Question Matthew, I don't drink so many of those things. Do you? Oh, they don't care for me. You keep on drinking them that way and the first thing you know, they will murder somebody. I do. It was what? You murdered people? I was going to have a shower away. Find her, Charlie. You didn't take your son, anybody? No. You're kidding? I could have told you that. You didn't ask me. So I can't have my son, my nephew now. Please. That's why I have to be the last, I'll try and run it out of time. I'm spasible. What is it stopping you and yourself from being up to earth? Company girls. What?

You got another customer? That's right. I have a bad thing. No, I won't. No, Basil. When there? Hmm. Well, why can't we stand? Yeah, blood on you, here. Oh, sure. There is a cold. I'm not squawking about the beer, Howard. That's my throat, right? No, I've been reading along. What is it? It is you. I don't mind it. I just thought of here as the writer, Howard. He writes for the radio. They say something. It is. He writes stories about murder and things. Yeah. Hey. You good? Charlie, was that asking? I was just asking. He doesn't want it here. I want another ginger ale. Charlie was out at the start. And she's the woman I murdered. But she doesn't say murder.

Not a deal, please. You know what, being murdered, man? All right. I was asking and worried God is God's days. Well, God be good. Charlie just brings the month like this. Sunshine? Sure. You know what I'm sorry about people on the moon? People didn't know about people on the moon? There aren't any people on the moon. And Charlie gave me one more ginger ale for the road. Okay. I saw people on the moon. Underbath. That's a million of them. I don't know. Sure. I'm sure I'm sure about people on the moon. I don't know anything about people on the moon. That's what I'm saying. Sure. Charlie, that's it. I like to hear about people on the moon. Well, they got two heads. They'll face sure.

Two heads of people. They got four heads. Oh, there's must be two heads. There they are. Four heads. I'm going to bed. No, no, stay in here. I can keep you on the moon. Tell me everything. You know, I have another ginger ale. No, I have a ginger ale. I have to get up early in the moon. No, I want to touch your box of people on the moon. I don't want to hear about people on the moon. No, I want to tell them about it. No, I'm not. I'm losing a loan, dad. I want to do it with a listen, friend, God bless. I am not your friend. I can give you a great story about people on the moon. You guys don't want to hear about them, dad. You're a shut up. There's two people on the moon, see? They got four arms and two heads. And they have all kinds of fun. Well, you can't touch them unless I say... They're nice like you to shut up. You leave them alone.

They're not for our murder, you can't. Now listen, this is a nice quiet bar. And nice quiet people come in here. What? Are you going to be a like quiet after the cops come and take your way? They see bad lights on us. We thought you shut up for our murder. That's just a battle outside. No, stop and say, you got to slow down. You hear me? Look, dad, let's calm down, Joey. No. Still, we're the same, you and I, it's just down. You can tell me all about the people on the moon. You know what Mars is in everywhere. I don't know anything about the people on Mars. I don't even know of 30 people on Mars. Two months, I've left them. It's the Mars world. I'm not afraid of you, you big son. There you go. No, I'm not. If I tell what I know about you... You won't live this time. I'll tell you what. I said, say you're checking out here. Two hours and 68 cents. Since I ain't got the money, huh? Well, look at that.

Oh, dad, don't tell me the money around that way. You pay back just just to buy enough for you. You want me to throw you on it? It's so much to my mom. Listen, I thought I'd have had enough for you. Wait, I said that. Stop, stop. My children shut up. And another dry man happens. Fire, will you run? I don't know what I call it. It's your reason. It's a car to that stuff. Do you want me to get you around? If I was a drunken man, I'd have a double one. You hear anything? Did you found him yet? You sure did the thing that did me? Well, captain, uh... Is that... Yeah. Hmm, quiet tonight.

No idea what it's like, Miss. I just just thought that the car did. Jerry would do it so we could. Stuff that... Well, she's dead all right this time. But... We're gone. Not Helen's. I think she wouldn't stay dead. She's not here in a boat day. You sure you're different? Well, you're different if you murder somebody. You're just coming around the side. You're on your under the bar. No, you're under the stool. Sure. Let's definitely do something. They'll find it. There's a little something. Where the man's looking, girl? I never did just take it away from here. They put some money on the bar. Why'd he enough? They're back. Yeah. Yeah. I'm tired. Great job. Yes, you murder. You still aren't enough with drive man, happy Charlie.

Oh, where did you come from? Have you known the cops are looking for you? Sure. Do I have the drive man happy up to much for loose grip? Make it a double answer. Yes, you. Well, you. Oh, hello, Sarah. I didn't recognize you. You're trying to bite the downbuyer? Yes, I am. I am. There. I'm all right. How is the idea today? Listen, don't start that again. I was starting to tell you about the people on the moon last night when we were sitting there up there. How about that double drive man happy Charlie? Yeah, they're going to get a double man happy any time. I'd like to have a double ruckus on the moon. Why not? I'm not going to get many kids. They do get many kids. And they jam out the other kids with four of the cops to come. They say you come. Yes, they do. They're dead out of here.

They say, they want, they're dead. So what's wrong? What's wrong? Oh, you didn't mean hell. What happened? I don't worry about her. I'm sorry. What happened? I'm sorry. Where's he? Got him. Got him. Oh, no. Where's the guy? Who? Oh, look. What about him? I'll be all right. You know, 10. Oh, two. A double man happy to do things. John, man, that's all 10. How long will it make me so mad? You know, we're pretty well. Well, right there. Five, five. That's up. That's up. Hey, where you going? That's up. Very back. I'll be eating another dry mine happy. Okay. Oh, that's good. Yes, sir, sure is a puzzle to me. Where's your idea? Oh, that's the plan. I'm sorry. I'm fine. You know, I'm fine. Well, you know, I'm fine. I'm fine. Are you fine, Sally? Hey, where you going?

I have to see him. I was with a meek bird, where you get your ideas. It is, and I sure is. How do you think of these things every week? This is by me. It's just like land breaks. I know the land breaks. Yeah, I sure wish you'd write a story about the moon. And about those people with arms and two heads, and you remember that little thing. I remember it. They don't. They just drink. They drink what? What, man? I think. What else could they do? I should want to hear about it. Sure. Well, they know how to travel through space. They're sure. They come down there all the time. Many of them? I bet you there's hundreds of people from the moon

right here on their strike now. I'm sure. I'm sure taking a long time is sure. I want another drink. I mean, it hasn't liked the people in the moon, right? Yeah, that's right. Hey, Charlie! Yeah, Charlie! Must be a mo... I guess. Tell me more about these people in the moon. Four are in your ship, yeah? Four. What are they doing when they come down there? More of their people? Oh, sure. They think it's fun. Good fun. Yes, they can jump here, kind of. They can't swim over the people. Must be interesting. Very easy. You can't swim over the people in the moon.

Why not? They don't die. How long does it take to get here from the moon you're supposed to? About 20 minutes. Oh, sure. How about the... the comet energy? The poor little thing out of one year round. The twister button then you take a deep breath. Hmm? I told you. Hey, Charlie! Hey, get your city. Yeah. Yeah, I'm really fun, though. Especially when you don't get to do it, like... Oh, you think I'm crazy? What? I bet you think I'm crazy. Oh, no. I know. That's how it is. She's a pain in the neck.

That way you murdered her? That's why I always murdered her. Oh. The murderer, other people in the shoes, by... I haven't yet. I'm going to. Have you... got any customers picked out to... No. I've just been looking around. Actually, how makes me so mad, though, sometimes? Right. I have some murderer. Are you sure murderer? I have some. I've got mad. Tell me some more about the moon, people. Well, the reason Helen won't say dead is... She's from the moon. Yes. Sure. She is dead. You've got four arms. She wants to see her. She wants more than a pair of covered up under her blouse.

What about two heads? She's one of the heads. She pulls your handle. She does. Sure. Well, Charlie, where have you been, Charlie? Hey, Charlie, you've been pretty pretty. What are you talking about? That's the moon, right? Which, Charlie, is mean... I want another design, man. Hurry up, I got a good eye here. Good eye here. Oh, no, bad. Let's get it on. I don't even have this time. Oh, I gotta get out of here. I gotta take it. Oh, right away. Have a nice big drink. It's all in the house. Well, I gotta go. Oh, that was good, Charlie. That was fine. Fine. Oh, I gotta take it. How about you and Desi? Well, I sure will make him a double again, Charlie. Well, thanks. I am hungry. It's not so big of a human being to hold on to him.

What did you say? I said, stand out at 10 minutes. He was telling me all about the people of the moon, Charlie. Very interesting, no doubt. Oh, sure. They murdered people. Oh, fascinating. Man, what is that? Well, thank you. Look at that, too. I'll have another ginger ale, Charlie. Where do you put them all? Well, nice. I got it. Go, I got it. You got it, Desi. You got it, Desi. You got it, Desi. I don't know. You just got something. What? You're not going to stay that night. Oh, that was last night. Right here. Remember? Sure, remember. But that was last night. What's the time? Oh, the eighth minute. Tell another time, man, I haven't had those. Well, I really awkled. Charlie, go on. Yeah, go on, Desi. Hey, that's what you'd be here, Desi. I was just leaving. It wasn't nice, Charlie. He would just have a word for the law. Listen. I can do it for you, Bob.

No, I'm not ready. I just have an idea. I just walked over to this stall. I went to the quarter-oil shirt and I took up my drink with one hand. And I stuck out another one, shook hands with him. And I put another hand on his shoulder and with the other hand I spoke to him with
