Basko you have your hand raised. Oh, I'm a spelling don't even think those those safety zones should be safe Well, what brought that on mr.. Basko responding to read you the old-fashioned type. He thinks that pedestrian should be allowed to live I Think that's a very important that safety zone need a school is all rubbed out And it's a hard to see What's it gonna happen to the little boys and little girls and when they cross in there and the cars don't see it Well, I know what you mean mr.. Basko the safety zones are freshly painted elsewhere. They must have been overlooked here I'm sure the city will take care of this zone sooner or later sooner later mr. But for the little bambini who's a go to school is hats are gotta be now so no later hats are too late Well, mr.. Basko if you feel so disturbed about the safety zone You have a perfect right to send a letter to the city traffic Bureau. I mean you mean you mean a right to letter Huh, she's got a good point Lovici right and couldn't height and who knows they might do something Yeah, huh one of the rules of our democracy is that the law so really made by you You know, I love your fellow the thing it's so true Well, thank you friends. I'm gonna write I'm gonna write I'm a donor one accident should have happened here and you say they're gonna listen it to me No, sure Luigi. They're gonna listen to you And maybe your letters gonna start a whole wave of reform with the traffic rules Maybe when they get your letter they gonna decide to make the whole street a safety zone And the cars are gonna have to ride on the sidewalk Mr.. Schultz that is not funny All right, right Luigi. Let's see what happens Maybe they're gonna put in more traffic lights more traffic cops Widen the highways and improve the lighting system all over the city Yeah, but I sure you think they're gonna do all this When they get to my letter no, but as a living pedestrian I can dream can't I? Luigi, hello Luigi. Hello. Hello. Well, I'm just writing a little letter here about the Traffic zone and I'm saying that you're pleased to think of the little kids in the paint the safety zone a quick You're sincerely respectively and soon are going to be cities in the Luigi bus go That's a nice letter. You're writing your mama. No, but Scotty This letter is is a for the traffic bureau Well, Luigi, don't tell me a cop will give you a ticket if I walk in faster than 60 miles an hour And I know it was kind of I'm just asking the city They should have paint up the safety zone on Adams and a Peoria street Right then in the school you you telling the city to paint up their safety zone Well, you sure Luigi if I remember correctly last the time they elected the mayor here They didn't ask you for your advice Yeah, but a Piscale and and anybody can arrive if they want. Oh stop, Luigi I don't know what I'm gonna do. Well, you always you get those crazy ideas Yeah, but I was only taught that you think too much last summer during the heat wave Who wrote to the city with the big idea air conditioned the streets I still think it's a good idea. What to put in electric fans and all the traffic lights No, what a stupid a green horn of boob. You keep a sign in those crazy letters to the government They're gonna never let you send anything a first class of mail And then you know what you're gonna be a second class of citizen Because the Chicago is a big and it's a beautiful city And it's a duty of all the citizens to keep it that way Chicago has a big beautiful buildings has a fine wide big boulevards Wonderful parks the way you keep a blowing about chicago. No wonder they call it the windy city But a buscale all I want to tell him is His is they should have put a little white to paint on a safety zone So so the cars that kind of see all the little kids wait a minute Well, I got a better ride that you want the cars should be able to see the kids Did I tell her they leave it the safety zones alone to paint the kids white On that buscale you you're making the fun and and and I'm serious about this. I know you're serious. That's your bigger trouble Ah, look luigi, let's forget about this crazy talk about painting. Let's talk. It's some normal Sensible to talk about a normal a sensible to talk of what's that the buscale like you married my daughter rosa Let's go back to the crazy talk How have you excuse me? I'm I'm gonna make out the envelope and email this letter to traffic the party. All right. All right Go ahead mail it. I've been in America a little longer than you. I know what's happened What first the thing when you let it comes to them. They put us a mercuric roma bandage on it Why they do that because it's got to do with a red tape And then one finally finally opens it there easy say paint to the safety zones That's another department out of the public service in another department. That's the way it goes Like a department store. Yeah, but what what the happens is to my letter the way to wait. Hold on. I tell you It goes around and around up to three four years and then somebody finds it And you know what they do with it What they break in a new waste basket and yours is the first letter they throw in it I don't know believe it. All right. Don't just write the letter wait around three four years Like I told you by that time your conscience will be clear Well, what do you mean? Well, you don't want the little kids. It should be hurt. Is that right? That's right All right in the five years that they go into high school if they can hit that it's out of your hands All right, you be funny, but but i'm gonna get a better idea. What are you gonna do?
