00:07:50,520 I don't love you anymore, but I keep remembering you. 203 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:51,520 That's no good. 204 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,520 You can stop remembering me any time you like. 205 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,520 Why are you wrecking me? 206 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:57,520 I'm not wrecking you. 207 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,520 You can stop remembering me any time you like. 208 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,520 I hardly recognized you when you came in. 209 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:03,520 That's how easy I forgot. 210 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:04,520 Well, that don't work with me. 211 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:05,520 Now listen to me. 212 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,520 You listen to me. 213 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,520 I'm tired of your little problem. 214 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,520 I don't like you, and I wouldn't even like you if you had any money, 215 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,520 which goodness knows you haven't. 216 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,520 I want you to go away and leave me alone. 217 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,520 And I want you to come back here anymore. 218 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,520 You saw me today because you wanted to. 219 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,520 Okay, but no more. 220 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,520 Now I'm going into the bedroom, and I'm going to lock the door, 221 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,520 and I'm going to lock the door until you stay here forever, 222 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,520 but I'm not coming out until you leave here. 223 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,520 But if you haven't left in a little while, I'm going to scream. 224 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,520 And I'm going to keep screaming until somebody comes up here 225 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,520 and throws you out of here. 226 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:48,520 I just stood there for a while and looked at the door, 227 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,520 and I thought, I don't love her. 228 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,520 I don't love her at all. 229 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,520 That's when I decided to do it, 230 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,520 because I figured that if there was no Fran, 231 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,520 that I could see Trudy or anybody else I wanted to, 232 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,520 and not have to worry about being lonesome for Fran, 233 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:10,520 or feeling sorry for Fran, or needing Fran. 234 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,520 And I figured, you don't remember dead people very well. 235 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,520 But I knew I had to do it that night before she left on her trip. 236 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,520 I worked it out like this. 237 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,520 I'd leave right then and leave a front door on the latch 238 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,520 and talk to everybody in the building 239 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,520 and go to my boarding house and tell everyone there how tired I was, 240 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:27,520 and go up to my room. 241 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,520 That would be my alibi. 242 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,520 Everyone would have seen me go to sleep. 243 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,520 Then I'd wait until everybody was in bed, 244 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,520 and I'd take my gun and come back here without anybody seeing me 245 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,520 and kill Fran. 246 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:55,520 For Suspense, Roma

They won't run when the door is open, 475 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,520 and I wanted it to be there waiting for me when I finished the shooting. 476 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,520 That was the only way I figured to get out of the apartment before everybody woke up 477 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,520 and started doing something about hunting for me. 478 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,520 There's a basement exit, you know, and the elevator goes down in the basement. 479 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,520 I had all that figured, too. 480 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:10,520 The pencil seemed to work, but to make sure I stepped back into the elevator and pushed the button. 481 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,520 And the motor clicked and the door strained but stayed open. 482 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,520 The elevator didn't go anywhere. 483 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,520 Then I stepped out into the hall and listened. 484 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,520 It was awful quiet. 485 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,520 Not even anyone snoring, which you usually hear at night in a big apartment house like this. 486 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,520 I tried to remember if there was a squeaky board in the floor anywhere down the hall, 487 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,520 but couldn't, so I just crossed my fingers and tiptoed down the long dark hallway. 488 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,520 The only light was the red exit sign that shows you where the fire escape is. 489 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:43,520 And seeing from that is like working in a dark room developing pictures, which I did for a while. 490 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,520 Two doors from Fran's apartment. 491 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,520 That's the most frightened I ever was in my life, when a kid started to yell. 492 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,520 Because in the first place I didn't know what it was right away. 493 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,520 In the second place I thought, they'll wake up everybody in the apartment 494 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,520 and they'll be up and on their feet when I start shooting. 495 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,520 I guess I held my breath for a couple of minutes because when I started to try and relax, 496 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,520 my breath came out in a little whistle. 497 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,520 That scared me, too. I thought, it'd be great if I get a heart attack right here in the hall 498 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,520 of a strange apartment house in the little hours of the morning with a gun in my pocket. 499 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,520 It's like being afraid of a fire at night because you don't want to go out in the street in your pajamas. 500 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,520 It's worse, I guess. 501 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:28,520 Anyhow, the baby finally quieted down. 502 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:35,520 I waited a while, because I didn't know whether his mother had gotten up to quiet him 503 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,520 or whether he'd just gone back to sleep again. 504 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,520 I wasn't taking any chances now. It was too close to the finish. 505 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,520 I waited. 506 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,520 I figured it was safe a few minutes later and continued snail-ing down the hall. 507 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,520 I stopped at Fran's door and listened. 508 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,520 It was quiet inside. I put my hand into my pocket and grabbed hold of the gun. 509 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,520 Then I slowly turned the doorknob, slid the door open. 510 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,520 It didn't creak or anything, which was lucky. I got into the room, quietly closed the door again. 511 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,520 I took the gun out of my pocket and released the safety and went to the bedroom door. 512 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,520 It was already a little bit open. Through the crack, I could see her figure lying on the bed. 513 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:21,520 I pushed the door enough ajar so that I could move into the room and look closer. 514 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:26,520 That chop-sui sign across the street was flashing on and off as I got used to the pattern it made on the walls. 515 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,520 I saw Frances lying on the bed, dressed as she had been when I'd seen her early in the evening. 516 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,520 She was lying on her stomach with her face turned toward the far side of the room, toward the shadow. 517 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,520 My nose started to tickle. I thought I was going to sneeze, but when I pressed the cold gun against my upper lip, the desire left me. 518 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,520 I moved slowly and quietly toward the bed. 519 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:48,520 I got in a few feet of her and pointed the gun right at her head. 520 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,520 The gun was weight-weaving around, so I held out with both hands. 521 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,520 I took very careful aim. 522 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,520 It was done. I threw the gun down on the bed right next to Pranenstater for the door. 523 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:15,520 I knew I didn't have much time to get out of there. I tripped over one of her packed suitcases in the living room, but didn't fall. 524 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,520 It reminded me, though, that I'd gotten there in time. She hadn't had a chance to go on her trip. 525 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,520 I got to the front door of the apartment and jerked it open. 526 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,520 Watch the hurry. Get back in there. 527 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:24,520 Get out of my way! 528 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:25,520 Get back in there! 529 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:41,520 I told you to get back in there! 530 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,520 And that's all I know of what happened. 531 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,520 I see. Did you hit me? 532 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,520 Yes. I was helped by this gentleman here. 533 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,520 I used that book. 534 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:53,520 What are you doing here? 535 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,520 The young lady had called me and asked me to stop by. 536 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,520 At four o'clock in the morning? 537 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,520 Oh, look here.
