 Let's present Hollywood. These are called his company. The makers of Lux Soil and Soap bring you the Lux Radio Theater, starring Dan Daly and Anne Baxter in Pickets the Tomahawk. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William G. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. I don't know just how to tell you about tonight's play, because it doesn't follow any prescribed pattern. Perhaps I should just say that out of the 20th Century Talk studios, the very capable team of nearly an eater loose and rickety sale put their heads together and contested a gay comedy that pokes fun at the traditional Western epic. As our hero of the Old West, we have a traveling salesman from the East, Dan Daly. He's creating his original role as our heroine, Anne Baxter. Also playing her original role, a gun-coating deputy marshal. Now you see what I mean about this being a very different Western. So I suggest you just sit back, relax, and let us buy you a ticket to Tomahawk. Of course, now is the time when many tickets are being purchased for those long-awaited vacations from work. But I know that Lux Girls will keep right on with their daily Lux toilet soap tables, no matter where they are. You know, a lovely Lux complexion may be your ticket to romance. Now, ticket to Tomahawk, starring Dan Daly as Johnny Janeton and Anne Baxter as Kit Doge. This is the Old West. This is Colorado. The town of Epitaph on living willier and wilder than most. Three strangers have just arrived in Epitaph in search of the car. Hi, Dickens. What can I do for you? My name is Johnny Jamison. These two gentlemen and I have just come from the... Now, what do you do that for? He talks too much. Raise your miss, partner, or I'll cut you or park her high. Where's the car? Mr. Dodge is down the hall. And I wouldn't bother to run, would I, you? He was fixing to ride out and make some new railroad trains. We just didn't take him care of that train, Mr. We're taking care of the sheriff, too. Chuck, here are the trains. Who's the doodle of all? Him, passenger in the train. We've picked him up on his way here to get the sheriff. Kind of amusing, ain't it? Him bringing us to the sheriff. You're making a big mistake, strangers. I wouldn't let Mr. Dodge pick you, hanging around here. Eat your hands up. On the counter, he can put a bullet to your butt and hole whenever you would be touched the sheriff. And, folks, he's granddaughter. Hmm, interesting, ain't it, thank you. Who else has bought that? Well, I mean, Bishop, he happens to own most of the new railroad. Well, let's get him, Hila. Oh, you're making a mistake, fellas. I'm telling you again. Just you stay in front of us. One more peep out of you and both of us are gonna have a new truck. The biggest thing that ever happened to the state of Colorado is the opening of the west. It'll get the wealth of a nation out of the far mountains. When and if the railroad never finished, Mr. Bishop? It'll be finished, Miss Kit. Sound folks, don't watch this railroad. Of course we don't. It's gonna run the stagecoach line right out of business. Colonel Dawson and his gang aren't gonna like that, Mr. Bishop. That's why I want your grandpa around. In case Dawson's been... Grandpa, look out! Glad, Mr. Bishop. Grandpa, well, I warned them. Oh, Grandpa, they got you. Just in my arm, honey. My shooting arm. You killed them. You killed them four. That's what I call a shooting man for, Mr. Bishop. I'm beholden, Miss Kit. Mighty beholden. Oh, not to me, Mr. Bishop. They were grandpa's men. Hey, there's one more of my family, Kit. We'll come in with them, too. Just a minute. What's going on about... Lady... Lady, that gun's pointing at me. Is it? Put him in jail, Chuckery. But give him a bad call this afternoon and hang him in the morning. Hang me for what? I'm just a drummer. I'm selling subscriptions to the third evening post. I also have a fine line of Chinese firecrackers, Roman candles, and a sky rocker. And a complete assortment of hand-painted mustache cups. You could use one, too, Pop. Ever been to a net-tired party, dude? No. Well, you're going to one tomorrow. You're. But you can't do that. I'm innocent. You was in with those other two coyotes? Me? How do you think I got this egg in my head? You think a chicken laid it? Ask him. He saw them dusting. That's right, Miss Kit. Then why'd you come here if it wasn't your damn grandpa's lifestyle? To tell her, Sheriff, that engine number one at the Tomahawk on Weston Railroad is stuck five miles out of town with a boulder on its rails. What'd you say? There's no way you're here for help by having to run into these two gentlemen. Oh, now, look, lady, all you got to do is check with the engineer and the conductor when they get here. If he was a passenger... Well, that sounds reasonable, Grandpa. If I was feeling reasonable, only I'm not. I'm giving you a chance to get out of town, dude. But if you're here by sundown, you're going to become a permanent resident. Oh, yeah? Well, it's a free country, and I got a right to come and go as I please. And I just got here. Mister, you just met. Some long, Grandpa. You'd better get that arm, and you'll be over to Dr. Pillar. Awaiting a Saturday evening poster is about this. She can't do this to me. Oh, yes, she can. There's six lonesome grays on the edge of town on account of her. Now, without you, I'd get back to them at train tracks fast. I had 10 to. I got to get to Tomahawk. You're going to have company, dude. Me and Sheriff died. But that train's got to get through and no violence pushing boulders and pulling sick shooters is going to stop it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just give me my sample case. This is a fine town. That's all I can say. Fine town. Who says he can? The doctor said so, Mr. Bishop, and that's good enough for me. Grandpa's staying right here in Epitaph. But I don't jail at that train and go without you, Sheriff, but Dorson and his gang... I don't care about that right now. Yes, honey? You raise your right hand. Are you sure, Grandpa? You swear solemn to uphold the law? So help me, Grandpa. And I hereby make you my deputy. Oh, Grandpa! You don't mean it. Of course he doesn't mean it. Don't you? This year, a female cannot ride out, shooting out smart. Any rowdaker can decide if I speak. So she's taken over in my place. All right. You just leave everything to me, Grandpa. I'll rest for a day, honey, then cut over the mountains to Tomahawk by horse. I'll get there for you, will you? Yes, sir, Grandpa. How soon's that train going to be moving, Mr. Bickett? Well, I'm not sure. Let me talk to the engineer. You wait here with me, granddaughter. Time might be lavered with you personally. Yes, Grandpa? Yes. This is the first time you hit the train alone. I mean, I won't be around to keep any eye on you. You know what I mean? Uh-uh. Well, uh... Well, it's like the bees in the flowers. Flowers get all full of honey, and then the bees start clocking around them like this. Well, when a girl gets to be your age, it means... Well, it means something, I think. I don't follow, Grandpa. You don't? No. Oh. Well, uh... Well, girls are girls. See? Uh-huh. Boys are boys, see? And it's nature's law, but... Well, anyhow, that's how it goes. What I'm trying to say is... I'm trusting you, honey. You can trust me, Grandpa. I'll get that engine through. It's not the engine I'm worried about. I don't care, Grandpa. Well, you'd better get going, honey, and just be a good girl. Sure, Grandpa. You take care of yourself. I'll see you tomorrow. Come on, honey, come here. Any sidewinder starts sweet-talking that girl. You got my blessing to party there, understand? Got you, Sheriff. You gotta guess what, Dawson, and the number of counts for his number will be up to now? All I know is they'll do everything they can to stop the train from going through. But I sure wish I knew what, in particular. Healer got cooled off. And it's for that train. Well, it's going to leave Epitaph in an hour. All right, let it leave, but it's never going to reach Tomahawk. I sure hope you know what you're talking about, Dawson. There's a party going to ride her on that train. That's just what I got in mind. Dakota, you're going to join up with that party. None of them know you. It's a cinch. And then what? Fargo and battles wrapped into camps tonight with dynamite. That's where you're going to blow up that engine. It's as good as done, boss. Meanwhile, I'll see what I can do to stir up the engines. Oh, now, wait a minute. Yeah, but them engines ain't fussy. Get them riled enough and they'll bump us, too. That's a chance we'll have to take. All right, Dakota, get going. You know, there's nothing to worry about, Mr. Bishop. Why are they scared of the engine? I know. And I know you're a fine engineer. And how far is it to Tomahawk? 60 miles. And you've got to get there by Saturday noon, or our franchise is canceled. 60 miles? That's why we can knock off a run like that in less than three hours. I'm afraid it's going to take a little longer. Mountain? They don't bother my girl, then. Not mountain. No track. Well, you just look at her. She's got enough weight in her driver's seat. Not between here and Dead Horse Point. Not track, he says. We didn't have time to finish the ride away, but at Dead Horse Point, the track begins again. And how far is that from here? 40 miles. I've got 33 tons of Okamoto. How am I going to get to Tomahawk without track? Take a look over there. You? There's your answer. Those yous, oh, poor you at a Dead Horse Point. Yous? I won't do it. I won't do it. Stop your score and ten foot and kill the fire as you bother. Remember what I said we need. Tomahawk by Saturday noon, or we lose the franchise. I was on my way over Tomahawk, ma'am, thinking maybe you could use extra gun on the track. What's your name, Sandra? Call me Dakota, ma'am. Just a poor roving wrangler. That's got me yours. You know how to suit that thing? Yes, ma'am. While Bill Hickok taught me, they don't come no better. And you had him for a Tomahawk, huh? Yes, ma'am. I hear they need a new peace office up there. Well, you'd never have what you'd get. I reckon you'd do. All right, thank you, ma'am. And is that inspection you want on life, if you wiggle your little face? Exactly, ma'am. He's kind of funny, huh? And now you're listening to me, Mr. Hick. Your grandfather says that I'm just... Yes! And I thought that everything had happened at courthouse. Well, what is now, Mr. Bisson? The ticket agent. He's just discovered something terrible. What's what? The railroad car. Just listen to what it says. And this cover will have Bill Holt feel only. If Kent Company shall be operating a train between Epitaph and Tomahawk by noon of September 5th, 1876, with at least one paying passenger, given safe transportation. So we've got to have a passenger, Mr. Hick. A passenger, huh? Mr. Hick, for heaven's sake, find some Greenhorn. Oh, but no one's very keen for the Tomahawk trail now, Mr. Bisson. But if we don't get a passenger, we'll forfeit everything. There, who turned anything before this? I said you're the second agent, huh? I told you to get out of town. That's just what I am trying to do. You mean that, friend? You want to buy a ticket? I'm the first trying out of here. For heaven's sake, tell a gentleman about the ticket. You're just being me witness, Mr. Bisson. It ain't on my head. Right here is your ticket, friend. What ain't on your head? Blood. Blood? Whose blood? Yours. I won't do it. I'll be dogged about what I heard on a tour that helped put a blue whistler into Grandpa. For the last time, I had nothing to do with it. I am an agent for the Saturday evening post-Chinese fireworks and mustache cups. This is your job to take that train to Tomahawk and give it a pass and get a safe conduct. You mean I've got to take care of him? Just like he was your own husband. All right. But as soon as we reach Tomahawk, I'm going to become a widow. Now, wait a minute. Whoa, what play? What happened to the car? Did we ride a locomotive, son? They say it's quite a thrill. A locomotive? Yeah, but the tracks are gone, too. What are those wheels? Now, what did you do that for? You're asking too many questions, dude. Well, I'm not going. I am not going to ride on an engine. Here's your chair, Chuckity. How did you do your chair on top of the locomotive? Well, that's the funniest remark I've heard since I left. Chuckity? Well, hurry up with the chair. That's how come Chuckity's trying to lose. Yeah, go get your widow. Then what? We're staying here today, Bray. You promise not to run away, and I'll give you the freedom of the camp. I'll promise you nothing. You heard him, Chuckity. He starts to wander, put his lights out. Are you going somewhere in this pit? Well, Dakota says a couple of things have just rolled in. I bet if you do that, I'll... You're a lot safer now. Well, what are you boys doing out this way? Riding a telegraph line, man. Your rapper has been cutting words. Well, Dakota? Why, they look all right to me, Miss Doug. Just the two of you, huh? Well, let him say it, Dakota. Fix him up with some fishing fish. Yes, ma'am. You, uh, you bring the dynamite? Well, I know you. It's my saddlebag. Let's keep it there. I'm gonna wait till it's darker. You want to get back to your car? Yes. It's my saddle, Cater. I forgot to mention I also traveled to the Great Midwestern Guitar Company. I never heard that song before. I was in Chicago a while back when they sang it there on the show. I'll sing it some more. Why? You heard me, dude. Sing. Yes, ma'am. You've been to a lot of shows, huh, Dr. for a girl's problem. We're in tight life right now. Well, naturally. It's a little Chicago girl. Sure, we're pretty. Sam was as unholy as a mud-vamp. He's crazy. You mean, honey, pretty as they are? Yeah. You're prettier. You're a drag girl, too, you mean. Didn't the fellow ever tell you you were pretty? Well, didn't they? They were going to what? I think. What's that thing? Grandpa shot him. Why? Well, he said that's Gerebelle talking. Yeah, listen to it. She's falling to the pit. Haven't you ever known any other fellas? Only my grandpa. Oh, I mean, fellas that were stuck on you, you know. Gentle and kind. I'm not grandpa. It's just about this kindest man you'd ever meet. Well, I'll recall the time they hanged Buxody Tony in it. They didn't fix the news, quite right. Poor grandpa just couldn't stand it. It's off-card, isn't it? Terrible. Got on his six-shooter and blew Buxody's head off so he wouldn't choke to death. I got to take the camp. Good night, dude. Sure, it was a pretty night. The coat is set. Well, you said those stars are trying to trickle just like my eyes. He did, huh? What did you say? That grandpa wants to bury the man for sweet talk and be like that. Well, I don't know, but it might be worth it. Do you say something, dude? No, man. Good night, little kid. Well, between Epitaph and Tomahawk, there's a strange encounter. A locomotive, a third of you, and a young female deputy sheriff in charge. It's late at night, deep in the shadows, the coater and pensioner await that time to blow off the locomotives. While in front of the campfire, Johnny Jamison, the huge drummer, shoved those with his insomniac. And it looks like I'm never gonna see my... I thought I told you to go to sleep. I can't go to sleep. And would you please put away that pistol? No, you look calm, you know. You don't look like a killer. How come you took it out? Why can't you believe me? I'm not a killer. I'm a traveling salesman, a drummer. Traveled all over, huh? Well, not as far as I'd like to go. But last year, for instance, I went to No Walkie, Wisconsin. That's the city where they make beer. That was on the trip I made to Minnesota to see the Mississippi River. All right, you rockin' about. Mississippi River is in the Minnesota? I beg your pardon. The Mississippi River starts in Minnesota. It's just one foot across. I stepped over. Two years before that, when I was down in New Orleans, it took me 20 minutes on a river pack at the CrossFit. What did you do on the New Orleans? Cards. Playing cards. Yeah, that's New Orleans, Southern Louisiana, and East Texas. Good territory. Cards? Just cards? Just cards? Yeah. Take a look at these cards. Take the whole pack. Feel the paper? Best quality there is. No marked decks, no cold decks. High class stuff. Incidentally, that's the deuce of spades you got there. That's right. Hey, that's got a sick... Well, they don't call me a Johnny behind the deuce for nothing. How about another one? Go ahead, take another card. Now look at it. Well? Deuce of spades? Right. All deuce. This deck is unloaded. It's refrigerated. What's that all you do? Just go around selling things? Well, what's wrong with that? Oh, why is it getting me? It gets me every place. I'm just a kind of a seller that's got to see what's on the other side of that next hill. Grandpa says that some folks can't see the gold at their feet for the car rides in the mountains. Yeah? Well, your grandpa ought to impress that on you. The gold at your feet might be a couple of kids and eleven spouse instead of that tin scar you're getting at chess. What's so good about you? You're nothing but a loose foot. Where do you live? Oh, well, it's different with me. I'm married to the whole world. Where have you ever been? Well, Grandpa took me to Drango when I was eight. Drango? Well, that's just a hole in a rock. A lady I've crossed the Black Hills with a coat of... I've seen the wondrous spouts of Yellowstone. I've ridden the Chisholm Trail in Texas and I've watched the wedding of the rails at Promontory Point. Yes, ma'am. When the rocks remain to the plains with hand-hand, well, that's right, ma'am. I guess I'm just a born travel man. I've been traveling early to the Golden Gate. I'm never going to see. I'm never going to see. I'm never going to... What's it good for? You smell something burning? Something is burning. It's coming over there by the locomotive. You can see me. Well, come on, start running. Wait a minute. Smoke. One shot and you cut the fuse off. Shut up. There's a man in the rock. Let's watch it. Oh, great. First we start talking. You heard the lady. I'll handle it, Dakota. Dakota! Handle it. That man was fixed in a dirty a minute. I've got a man to give you the same. He was had noble people as a lizard and you bumped him in cold blood. He was going to pull a rodage and spin on him. That's cute. Too bad you couldn't have shot him in the arm or something like she did. So he could talk. You're insinuating I wanted to keep him from talking? I am not the man to tangle with, Dakota. Why not? Because I'm the passenger on this engine. And if I don't get the Tomahawk safe we there won't be any railroads. Oh, cut it out, both of you. You're right, man. Sorry, I lost my temper. I'll bet you are. You shut up. Secretary? Ma'am. You and your boys bear the bushwacker and get me shut out. We've got hard country to cross tomorrow. Have to be across the church with dead horse points on a five-mile path. Not much time to lose if you want this engine in Tomahawk by Saturday noon. Come on, Turkey. The next guy to plunder. Look, let me go with you. No. He gets awful tires from riding on the top of this engine. You got an empty horse there. You heard me. No. Any more complaints and we'll tie up again. Now, wait a minute. You're supposed to take care of me, right? Well, I demand to be taken into your custody. Oh, all right, then. Hey, Dakota. Yes, ma'am? We're stopping out ahead. Stay with the engine. Keep the eyes open. There's engine contact. I'll take care of that piece of thick iron just like it was you, man, sis. Well, thank you, Dakota. I'll be back. Well, thank you because of that. I'll be back. You shut up. It's a good thing that Dakota ain't quick-figured by sweet talker. You'd be coolin' by now. No such thing. You ought to be ashamed of yourself fallin' for that cow poach. I'm not fallin' for nothin'. Go on. You can't see the matches and a gun for the match and a chin. I told you. Shut up. Yes, ma'am. What's this, chakady? Massacre creeps. Mmm, that's quite a gully down there, mister. Come on. Forget about the dresses. What's the matter? Well, listen. I don't hear nothin'. That's what's the matter. Not even a bird. Not a sound. Ha-ha-ha. Yes, you got two. Who was this kid? Oh, no, she didn't. She? That's no bird. That's an engine signal. A wrap-a-ho. Come on. Back to the rock. Wait there till they bring the engine up. Hey, you and him wait there. I'm takin' a look in your eyes. Just don't go playin' far. You watch the steps. Keep. For a dude, you seem to know a lot about engine sounds. What's your name? Oh, one season when I was with Vahoo, Jim's wife with you. Peanut, popcorn, and saddle throw a tab. Engine named Crookin' I thought me all the signs. He had to quit the game. He had to quit the game. He had to quit the game. He had to quit the game. He had to quit the game. He had to quit the game. Then he had to quit the game, so I had better think about it. בע How mean. Jesus is a persuasional game, sure, sweet. Ooo! how did they hurt? Oh, too bad. You hit me with a hand. Into the net. I think I forgot. My直洞 was sohappy. But you wanted me to try and kill them. Then they got me on track, chick. Taking a gas my woman got me into trouble.

figured out right after all other corners I got a job of work to do for a guy named a dog and part of it could be telling you below all right 20 it can stop this thin man now you heard me stop the engine stop it yourself as long as I'm on two feet we're high on the power line oh names the careful next time stop this engine on the back the other side please get it done I can't even cross my back turn the head by you you kid do not I don't need no God to take care of you you're not even on the fast coming up open up please open up faster stop this way I'm like he just won't miss a thing this is the second time on the clock I'll tell you Looks like Dakota couldn't stop a rift. All right, you men, get on your horses. A waddley engine passes us and aim for the passenger. All right. If you can't hit the passenger, pull your bullet into the boiler. Now, let's get moving. That's all I mean to you, huh? Is this a passenger? He's down to Wuzba. That's mad. I'll get this engine into town. We got a four-ever mile to get. Just two minutes left, Mr. Chip. Two minutes before the land contract. I happen to be mayor of Tomahawk, sir, and I say a watch is wrong. You got exactly one minute and 15 seconds. Oh, it looks like Dawson's tickled up pieces after all, Grandpa. We'll never make any time. So you're the mayor of Tomahawk, are you? I am, sir, and these gentlemen are the town councilmen. Then listen to me, please. You and I are going to let a little thing like a quarter-of-a-mile feature for railroads and get in a franchise, are you? Well, there's nothing I can do, stranger. According to the charter, the railroad's got to be the high news, which is now exactly 55 seconds away. But you're overlooking what this railroad should mean for you, Mr. Mayor. Not only the gold and silver can take out of these mountains, but think what it'll mean in commerce and in schools for your kids while you can make a civilization out of a frontier. I'm the first passenger on the train, Mr. Mayor, and they have my ticket. I'm proud of it. I want to tell my grandchildren about it. But the territorial law. How long is the state now? For a whole month, she's been a 38th state in the union. You've got to grow with it, don't you? Now, what do you say, Mr. Mayor? The future of the west is in your hand. Mr. Pete said, Mayor, hurry. Time to wait. Gentlemen, consulmen of Tomahawk, I hereby move that we extend the corporate limits of Tomahawk to the rear of this here locomotive. I second this. All in favor? Motion carried. I hereby declare that the B&W railroad has fulfilled its duty. You're done your part, honey. Thanks, Grandpa. Here's your bag. Seems like you won the right to wear that permanent, Cav. Oh, no, Grandpa, I said. I'm giving up gunslinging. You what? By glory, no dodge ever give up his stardily was getting his tracks. I know, Grandpa, but I'm not a thief. I'm a thief. There's a difference, you know. I'll just find that out. There I'm going to get you. Then, Grandpa, I'll do it over there. Why, that low-down, quick, call and listen. No, sir, sir, you can travel in there. A travel in there? A glimmer? If you've got a gun, dude, start drawing. You'll get me purple, Grandpa, now stop it. Stand back. Get away. Stand back, sir. I hate to fool you off, Grandpa, but that's just what I think. Well, well, that's the way you feel about him. Will you give me back my jeopardy, star? And take me. Take my blessing. Come here, John. Just one good example. Howdy. Howdy. So you're fiction to marry my little gal, huh? Yes. I've been declined. I'm complete, John. You know, I'm not the man for you. You said it yourself. I got a loose foot. Except him. I never said I loved him. You know. And I love you. But I wouldn't make you unhappy for the world. I'd always be on the go, kid. Home to me is just a one-night whiff of stuff. Well, maybe you wouldn't have such a loose foot if I gave you a permanent lamp. Ah, kid, honey, there's no use flying in the face of faith. I'm warning you, dude. If you try to leave us, I'll drop you a few times. That's not true, kid. Because when we get back to Epitaph, I'm heading east. Come on, honey. Well, I'll be gone. I'll be gone. Well, huh, kid? I guess it's a bit, Johnny. Oh, I miss you so. I miss you too. You think carry yourself and everything. Johnny, I'm gonna bust you. And I think I once had to show you how. Don't you worry, honey. A man born to satellite is away with the world. Here, let me fix the house. Oh, Johnny, I'm so proud of this house. Conduct. Conducting number one, Tomahawk and Weston River. Now, they'll be late for dinner. Wait, but the CNW is always on time. Oliver? We got the change. I know you do. I sent the girls home for it. Here they come now. This is the same as a knife of wedding clothing and one of a dozen. Thank you, girl. Hey, girl. Where'd you buy me a bottle? One certain call. Van Daley and Van Baxter. First of all, size. You go to see her there. Musicals, genre, comedy, and now, Weston. Well, you know, girl, actress has to be best. I think that actress is about the only profession left in which it isn't wise to specialize. Yes, it wasn't. I didn't say that actress played the same role year after year. Like, uh... Well, Joe Jefferson in Rip Van Winkle. Oh, he was just lucky. How do you think that, then? Well, what if he started out playing little Lord Porpoir on a very short career? Yes, sir, sir. It's like trying to be an avenue for effort. I'd rather play a lot of assistant plays. It's much more interesting. You know all this talk about character actors? There's a thing that's one to my mind that the news then shows him at your studio at one of his entry bars. You must be referring to Selma Ritter, though. Yes, I am. Have you caught her a new picture as young as you feel? Yes, I saw a preview of it. She's just wonderful. You see, Annie, Selma did things just backwards. Of course, she was a character actress and never saw her in a young as you feel. Well, that's what's so fascinating about the picture, isn't it? You never know what's going to happen from one day to the next. Oh, yes, I do, Bill. My lost child is so faithful. I wouldn't list them. Well, then, you won't ever have to worry about your career. With your ability, you've got the luck to blacken so that you just stand fair. Well, that lets me out. You need these fired character actors in your next week's play? No, Dan. Next week, we're featuring some very young players. We have Farley Granger and Jill Nevin. And so starting with them will be Diana Lee. You won't miss that film. Good night. Have a great show.
