me of all people. 02:17.440 --> 02:20.400 Me of all people. 02:20.400 --> 02:22.560 That's why it's so hard to believe. 02:22.560 --> 02:24.760 That it all happened I mean. 02:24.760 --> 02:25.760 But it did. 02:25.760 --> 02:29.040 It really did. 02:29.040 --> 02:34.960 Just because I like to go to the railroad station, walk around, look at the trains, 02:34.960 --> 02:35.960 study faces. 02:35.960 --> 02:38.800 I never forget a face. 02:38.800 --> 02:42.360 I never forget a train either. 02:42.360 --> 02:44.360 But it's easier to forget a face. 02:44.360 --> 02:50.760 But a matter of fact I remember some faces that would be a lot better for me to forget. 02:50.760 --> 02:54.000 Like Harry Edmonds face for instance. 02:54.000 --> 02:56.600 That's the day it all started. 02:56.600 --> 03:01.600 The day I saw Harry Edmonds way across on the other side of the terminal. 03:01.600 --> 03:02.600 At the station. 03:02.600 --> 03:06.000 He was talking to a big fellow. 03:06.000 --> 03:07.520 Harry's face I remembered right away. 03:07.520 --> 03:09.560 I never saw the big fellow before. 03:09.560 --> 03:11.320 But I get going Harry. 03:11.320 --> 03:12.880 But you can't pull off the job. 03:12.880 --> 03:14.440 I stuck up a bank before. 03:14.440 --> 03:17.520 Yeah sure and they'd spot you in a minute you walked in. 03:17.520 --> 03:18.520 I know you too. 03:18.520 --> 03:19.520 This is your home town. 03:19.520 --> 03:22.280 Oh sure neither one of us is right. 03:22.280 --> 03:23.640 Let the boss decide. 03:23.640 --> 03:24.640 Come on. 03:24.640 --> 03:26.080 I thought about it on the train down. 03:26.080 --> 03:27.600 We need somebody new. 03:27.600 --> 03:29.920 We're not splitting this thing with anybody else. 03:29.920 --> 03:31.200 It goes three ways now. 03:31.200 --> 03:35.420 Look if we have to we have to and if we wait too long we gotta let the whole thing go until 03:35.420 --> 03:36.420 next month. 03:36.420 --> 03:37.420 Then we wait. 03:37.420 --> 03:38.420 Not for me. 03:38.420 --> 03:39.420 This town is too hot for me. 03:39.420 --> 03:40.420 Somebody is liable to recognize me. 03:40.420 --> 03:41.420 Yoo hoo Harry. 03:41.420

08:00.480 Better get started. 08:00.480 --> 08:01.480 Where to? 08:01.480 --> 08:02.480 I want you to meet another old friend of mine. 08:02.480 --> 08:19.080 Harry must have been doing very well. 08:19.080 --> 08:20.080 Very well. 08:20.080 --> 08:22.920 I mean for a man in the money game. 08:22.920 --> 08:26.720 He had a brand new sedan with real leather upholstery. 08:26.720 --> 08:31.080 I know it was real leather because that used to be my game. 08:31.080 --> 08:33.560 Leather upholstery. 08:33.560 --> 08:36.320 Not much money you know at least not for me. 08:36.320 --> 08:38.800 But I didn't let Harry know that. 08:38.800 --> 08:39.800 No sir. 08:39.800 --> 08:44.520 What if he ran into another old friend from Second Avenue and the other old friend said 08:44.520 --> 08:48.160 how's old Tom Jones doing? 08:48.160 --> 08:50.920 And Harry said not very well. 08:50.920 --> 08:52.440 Not very well at all. 08:52.440 --> 08:59.800 Well that can hurt a man once it gets around. 08:59.800 --> 09:01.480 And then what happened? 09:01.480 --> 09:06.160 Well when I came back to the main office I said I want 40 percent commission from now 09:06.160 --> 09:07.160 on. 09:07.160 --> 09:08.160 Really? 09:08.160 --> 09:12.240 But of course that would have made me a partner the boss said. 09:12.240 --> 09:16.640 After all Harry I'm not the kind of guy who can be cooped up in an office. 09:16.640 --> 09:17.960 I've been a road man. 09:17.960 --> 09:20.160 The lure of the open road. 09:20.160 --> 09:21.160 Oh yeah. 09:21.160 --> 09:22.400 The call of the open streets. 09:22.400 --> 09:26.240 See I'm an outdoor type of salesman. 09:26.240 --> 09:28.560 Something of the pioneer kind. 09:28.560 --> 09:30.240 You know pioneer? 09:30.240 --> 09:31.240 Yeah pioneer. 09:31.240 --> 09:38.000 You see there are those salesmen who are made for offices and those of us who get out and 09:38.000 --> 09:40.400 break the plane so to speak. 09:40.400 --> 09:42.400 Tom you surprise me. 09:42.400 --> 09:44.800 I could keep going for hours Harry. 09:44.800 --> 09:45.800 Literally hours. 09:45.800 --> 09:47.840 Yeah well why don't you hold on to something till we have dinner. 09:47.840 --> 09:48.840 Oh sure sure. 09:48.840 --> 09:53.800 Hey I bet you never expected that pasty little kid who always used to hang around to get so 09:53.800 --> 09:54.800 big in his field. 09:54.800 --> 09:57.680 Oh I certainly didn't. 09:57.680 --> 10:00.600 We could sure use somebody like you in our outfit Tom. 10:00.600 --> 10:01.600 Really? 10:01.600 --> 10:02.600 Yeah. 10:02.600 --> 10:06.600 Well that's very flattering but I'm not sure it's right for me. 10:06.600 --> 10:14.360 I bet I could get you I don't know maybe ten thousand a year to start with. 10:14.360 --> 10:16.800 Ten thousand a year you say? 10:16.800 --> 10:17.800 Yeah. 10:17.800 --> 10:20.680 Well what would you like to think about it? 10:20.680 --> 10:23.000 You talk to my boss maybe he can convince you. 10:23.000 --> 10:24.360 I'm willing to listen Harry. 10:24.360 --> 10:36.120 I'm willing to listen all right. 10:36.120 --> 10:40.960 The business Harry was in was mighty successful if the home of his boss was any indication. 10:40.960 --> 10:46.240 It was a beautiful big yellow house with a lovely green front door and you could tell 10:46.240 --> 10:51.800 it was the home of a man who had worked his way up and knew what to do with what he had. 10:51.800 --> 10:54.080 Inside it was very homey. 10:54.080 --> 10:58.920 Two fireplaces in the living room that looked like they were burning. 10:58.920 --> 11:03.440 Beautiful plaid carpet that must have been a real oriental and they wanted me in the 11:03.440 --> 11:04.440 business. 11:04.440 --> 11:08.320 Me Tom Jones of all people. 11:08.320 --> 11:10.400 Brandy Mr. Jones? 11:10.400 --> 11:12.480 No thanks thanks for my dinner. 11:12.480 --> 11:13.480 Cigar? 11:13.480 --> 11:14.480 Well. 11:14.480 --> 11:15.480 All clear Havana. 11:15.480 --> 11:17.360 Oh I can see that. 11:17.360 --> 11:20.080 I can always tell a good cigar just by looking at it. 11:20.080 --> 11:23.680 I don't cigars and paces and trains. 11:23.680 --> 11:26.320 And you're a very well informed man Mr. Jones. 11:26.320 --> 11:28.360 Well you're kind of unusual yourself. 11:28.360 --> 11:29.360 Why? 11:29.360 --> 11:30.720 Well you remember my name. 11:30.720 --> 11:31.960 Don't most people? 11:31.960 --> 11:35.240 Most people don't even recognize me. 11:35.240 --> 11:36.240 People I've known for years. 11:36.240 --> 11:37.240 Is that so? 11:37.240 --> 11:41.120 Now don't get me wrong it's an asset in my business. 11:41.120 --> 11:47.200 See people who tell me no when I try to sell them something say come back next year. 11:47.200 --> 11:52.080 But I come back next week and they don't even remember I was in the first time. 11:52.080 --> 11:54.720 Maybe a face like mine doesn't come along every day. 11:54.720 --> 11:57.080 I like you Tom. 11:57.080 --> 11:58.560 Mind if I call you Tom? 11:58.560 --> 12:00.120 Certainly not Mr. 12:00.120 --> 12:02.160 Just call me Boss. 12:02.160 --> 12:03.160 Everybody calls me that. 12:03.160 --> 12:06.040 Especially people I like and I like you. 12:06.040 --> 12:08.360 I like you too Boss. 12:08.360 --> 12:11.880 Then you're interested in coming into the organization? 12:11.880 --> 12:14.800 Oh I might give it a whirl. 12:14.800 --> 12:15.800 Let's put it that way. 12:15.800 --> 12:17.280 I wouldn't want it any other way. 12:17.280 --> 12:20.360 A trial for both of us. 12:20.360 --> 12:23.400 And the pay Harry mentioned? 12:23.400 --> 12:26.080 Oh I told him a starting salary boy. 12:26.080 --> 12:27.920 Let's talk about that at dinner. 12:27.920 --> 12:32.440 Come on we'd better get started. 12:32.440 --> 12:36.880 Isn't a quarter to three in the afternoon a little early for dinner? 12:36.880 --> 12:39.600 We have a few errands to do. 12:39.600 --> 12:40.600 Excuse us just a minute. 12:40.600 --> 12:45.600 Oh of course, of course. 12:45.600 --> 12:49.640 You like the idea? 12:49.640 --> 12:50.640 Of course. 12:50.640 --> 12:52.000 Nobody will ever remember him. 12:52.000 --> 12:54.840 I couldn't even describe to you what he looks like. 12:54.840 --> 12:55.960 Where's the satchel? 12:55.960 --> 12:56.960 Right here Boss. 12:56.960 --> 13:01.240 I thought you put the note inside. 13:01.240 --> 13:04.840 We wanted you to okay it first here reading. 13:04.840 --> 13:10.200 You are being covered by a gun from two different places in this bank. 13:10.200 --> 13:12.960 Do not send an alarm or you will be killed. 13:12.960 --> 13:16.480 Put $50,000 in the satchel. 13:16.480 --> 13:17.480 That's it and a note. 13:17.480 --> 13:19.920 How will you get them to take it in? 13:19.920 --> 13:22.160 I always come up with the answer don't I? 13:22.160 --> 13:23.160 Yes sure Boss. 13:23.160 --> 13:26.160 Come on let's go. 13:26.160 --> 13:34.000 Oh we talked it over and the Boss likes you a lot. 13:34.000 --> 13:36.280 For the last time it's Jones. 13:36.280 --> 13:37.280 Tom Jones. 13:37.280 --> 13:42.880 Yeah well I was only kidding Tom. 13:42.880 --> 13:47.120 Well all right we better get started. 13:47.120 --> 13:48.120 Where to first? 13:48.120 --> 13:50.680 To the bank Tom. 13:50.680 --> 13:53.840 That's very kind but completely unnecessary. 13:53.840 --> 13:55.520 I don't need my salary in advance. 13:55.520 --> 13:59.200 I told you this is a high class outfit. 13:59.200 --> 14:01.600 To the bank. 14:01.600 --> 14:12.280 Gee. 14:12.280 --> 14:16.480 Auto Light is bringing you Mr. Jack Benny in The Face is Familiar. 14:16.480 --> 14:31.920 Tonight's presentation in radio's outstanding theater of thrills, Suspense. 14:31.920 --> 14:33.720 This is Harlow Wilcox again. 14:33.720 --> 14:38.440 Tonight the worldwide auto light family is privileged to salute a distinguished member, 14:38.440 --> 14:41.000 the DeSoto division of Chrysler Corporation. 14:41.000 --> 14:46.000 So I've stopped in at my local DeSoto Plymouth dealers to learn all about the wonderful DeSotos 14:46.000 --> 14:47.000 454. 14:47.000 --> 14:50.000 Oh you're right about the new DeSoto automatics Mr. Wilcox. 14:50.000 --> 14:52.520 They are wonderful and for many reasons. 14:52.520 --> 14:57.680 For instance there's the great DeSoto 170 horsepower Fire Dome V8 engine. 14:57.680 --> 15:00.200 The world's most efficient engine design. 15:00.200 --> 15:01.960 Well explain why Mr. Dealer. 15:01.960 --> 15:05.440 The secrets in the hemispherical design of the combustion chamber. 15:05.440 --> 15:08.280 That's where your fuel is exploded to give you power. 15:08.280 --> 15:12.520 This design squeezes every last drop of power out of your fuel. 15:12.520 --> 15:15.880 But you use regular gasoline for real economy. 15:15.880 --> 15:21.560 This plus DeSoto's fully automatic power flight transmission, power steering, power brakes 15:21.560 --> 15:27.600 and auto light electrical equipment are just a few of the many reasons why the 1954 DeSoto 15:27.600 --> 15:30.760 automatics put you ahead automatically. 15:30.760 --> 15:31.760 Thank you Mr. Dealer. 15:31.760 --> 15:40.480 Auto light is proud of its long connection with DeSoto and DeSoto Plymouth dealers everywhere. 15:40.480 --> 15:45.140 And now auto light brings back to our Hollywood soundstage Mr. Jack Benny. 15:45.140 --> 15:49.640 In Elliot Lewis's production of The Face is Familiar. 15:49.640 --> 15:55.600 A tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. 15:55.600 --> 16:10.040 Gee isn't it funny how you wait a long time for your ship to come in. 16:10.040 --> 16:14.720 There I was watching a train and my ship came in. 16:14.720 --> 16:16.960 Just because I recognized Harry's face. 16:16.960 --> 16:20.520 Boy you gotta keep on your toes in this world. 16:20.520 --> 16:25.920 Because when opportunity knocks at your door you gotta be all set to open it. 16:25.920 --> 16:28.920 Anyway I'd opened the door before I knew it. 16:28.920 --> 16:35.360 We were downtown. 16:35.360 --> 16:37.160 The bank already? 16:37.160 --> 16:38.400 I hardly noticed we were moving. 16:38.400 --> 16:40.160 Had you mind waiting a few minutes? 16:40.160 --> 16:41.280 Oh not at all. 16:41.280 --> 16:42.280 I like you Tom. 16:42.280 --> 16:45.320 Let me tell you I like you too. 16:45.320 --> 16:48.400 I'm certainly glad Harry met you after all these years. 16:48.400 --> 16:49.840 And I'm glad too. 16:49.840 --> 16:50.840 I like Harry. 16:50.840 --> 16:54.880 And I like you too Tom. 16:54.880 --> 16:58.740 You know I feel like I've known all of you. 16:58.740 --> 17:01.760 Just all of you since second avenue. 17:01.760 --> 17:04.600 Boss I even feel like I grew up with you. 17:04.600 --> 17:07.320 That's very nice of you Tom. 17:07.320 --> 17:10.000 Well who's going to get the payroll? 17:10.000 --> 17:12.420 Is that why we stopped at the bank? 17:12.420 --> 17:13.680 You pick up your own payroll? 17:13.680 --> 17:15.200 Sure why not? 17:15.200 --> 17:16.200 For how much? 17:16.200 --> 17:18.560 Fifty thousand dollars. 17:18.560 --> 17:21.760 Fifty thousand dollars? 17:21.760 --> 17:23.920 And you pick it up yourself? 17:23.920 --> 17:26.800 It's my money and I work hard for it. 17:26.800 --> 17:27.840 It's my way. 17:27.840 --> 17:30.600 And if you don't like my way of doing things Tom. 17:30.600 --> 17:32.680 No no no no not at all. 17:32.680 --> 17:37.440 I've always felt personally and I've always felt that people should pick up their own 17:37.440 --> 17:38.440 money. 17:38.440 --> 17:39.440 Always. 17:39.440 --> 17:43.680 Especially if it's fifty thousand dollars or more. 17:43.680 --> 17:48.840 Besides armored cars haven't been doing too well in the past few years. 17:48.840 --> 17:51.680 I like the way you think. 17:51.680 --> 17:54.720 Well maybe we should all pick up the payroll. 17:54.720 --> 17:58.120 Wouldn't that make us a little too conspicuous? 17:58.120 --> 17:59.120 Hmm. 17:59.120 --> 18:00.120 Yes. 18:00.120 --> 18:03.880 And besides I want to discuss you a little more. 18:03.880 --> 18:05.880 I think you'll work out. 18:05.880 --> 18:06.880 Fine. 18:06.880 --> 18:09.440 Say maybe Harry can pick up the money while we talk. 18:09.440 --> 18:13.000 I wanted to discuss you with Harry. 18:13.000 --> 18:14.000 Oh. 18:14.000 --> 18:15.160 Well how about Joe? 18:15.160 --> 18:16.320 Joe picked it up last time. 18:16.320 --> 18:20.240 I don't like the same man going in twice in a row. 18:20.240 --> 18:22.360 See not Harry. 18:22.360 --> 18:23.360 Not Joe. 18:23.360 --> 18:24.960 Or you. 18:24.960 --> 18:26.200 Me? 18:26.200 --> 18:28.200 I hate to ask you. 18:28.200 --> 18:33.400 You're not really part of my organization yet and I don't like to see a man work unless 18:33.400 --> 18:34.800 he gets paid for it. 18:34.800 --> 18:36.680 Well I'd be happy to. 18:36.680 --> 18:37.680 Just delighted. 18:37.680 --> 18:43.560 Besides I'm going to have to get used to large sums of money and I guess there's no time to 18:43.560 --> 18:46.120 start like the present. 18:46.120 --> 18:49.960 Just take this satchel up to the window and give it to the teller. 18:49.960 --> 18:52.320 The withdrawal slip is inside. 18:52.320 --> 18:54.600 The teller will know exactly what to do. 18:54.600 --> 18:55.600 Fine. 18:55.600 --> 18:56.600 Oh sure of course. 18:56.600 --> 19:01.880 Now boss you've got to wait until he's in. 19:01.880 --> 19:02.880 Did you call me? 19:02.880 --> 19:03.880 No. 19:03.880 -->

some friends waiting for me outside. 19:41.960 --> 19:42.960 Good. 19:42.960 --> 19:47.640 I was just wondering if you weren't in a hurry would you mind. 19:47.640 --> 19:49.640 No. 19:49.640 --> 19:51.640 Oh. 19:51.640 --> 19:55.360 These lines certainly move slowly don't they? 19:55.360 --> 19:57.400 Yeah. 19:57.400 --> 20:02.960 Well he certainly took long enough at that window. 20:02.960 --> 20:05.400 Yeah. 20:05.400 --> 20:09.040 I hate people who dawdle over money don't you? 20:09.040 --> 20:11.280 I guess. 20:11.280 --> 20:14.520 Your transaction isn't going to take very long is

Wouldn't you think they'd have more tellers? 20:55.200 --> 20:57.000 I certainly do. 20:57.000 --> 21:02.440 I mean one say to handle pennies and so forth you know. 21:02.440 --> 21:05.880 Well there's one gone. 21:05.880 --> 21:07.840 I like the way that teller works. 21:07.840 --> 21:10.320 I suppose. 21:10.320 --> 21:11.840 Will your transaction take long? 21:11.840 --> 21:12.840 Oh no. 21:12.840 --> 21:13.840 Good. 21:13.840 --> 21:15.760 I'm in a terrible hurry. 21:15.760 --> 21:18.720 Some friends are waiting for me on the outside. 21:18.720 --> 21:19.720 Next please. 21:19.720 --> 21:20.720 Yes madam. 21:20.720 --> 21:25.360 Well in 1950 my husband opened an account in his name a savings account. 21:25.360 --> 21:27.480 Then he transferred it to a checking account. 21:27.480 --> 21:31.240 Then we split up that money and opened a joint savings account and joint checking account. 21:31.240 --> 21:34.680 But we found out we didn't really close the other savings account. 21:34.680 --> 21:36.080 Of course we thought we did. 21:36.080 --> 21:37.960 So some of our checking deposits have been. 21:37.960 --> 21:42.120 Look don't don't you think you should see the manager instead of taking this teller's 21:42.120 --> 21:43.120 time. 21:43.120 --> 21:44.640 I'll handle this sir if you don't mind. 21:44.640 --> 21:46.240 Oh no not at all. 21:46.240 --> 21:47.240 Not at all. 21:47.240 --> 21:49.240 Madam would you please take this up with the manager. 21:49.240 --> 21:53.000 But if you don't mind may I get to the window. 21:53.000 --> 21:56.880 Yes. 21:56.880 --> 21:58.960 The withdrawal slip is in the bag. 21:58.960 --> 22:01.000 Oh a withdrawal. 22:01.000 --> 22:02.640 Next window please. 22:02.640 --> 22:04.720 Now just a minute. 22:04.720 --> 22:06.360

22:16.480 I'm sorry sir I can't violate the rules for anyone. 22:16.480 --> 22:18.580 But this is a very important matter you know. 22:18.580 --> 22:20.720 This isn't just some piddling sum. 22:20.720 --> 22:22.640 How much are you withdrawing sir? 22:22.640 --> 22:25.160 Well I believe it's fifty thousand dollars. 22:25.160 --> 22:27.960 Oh you're quite right that is a lot of money. 22:27.960 --> 22:31.280 Now will you please remove this bag and go to the next window. 22:31.280 --> 22:32.280 Well. 22:32.280 --> 22:35.280 All right. 22:35.280 --> 22:40.320 At least the lines are getting shorter. 22:40.320 --> 22:41.320 Yes they are. 22:41.320 --> 22:44.920 Wouldn't you think a bank this size could afford a few extra tellers. 22:44.920 --> 22:46.240 How do you mean? 22:46.240 --> 22:50.840 Like say one kind of teller to handle only pennies and another kind to handle matters 22:50.840 --> 22:52.800 of fifty thousand dollars or more. 22:52.800 --> 22:54.440 I beg your pardon. 22:54.440 --> 22:58.280 I suppose that sounds a little strange but you'd be surprised how it would speed things 22:58.280 --> 22:59.280 up. 22:59.280 --> 23:00.280 Oh I'm sure. 23:00.280 --> 23:01.280 And it needs it. 23:01.280 --> 23:04.120 Yeah I came in feeling fine just fine. 23:04.120 --> 23:06.760 Now I'm nervous from waiting and waiting and waiting. 23:06.760 --> 23:07.760 I'll be through in
