Broadway's My Beast, with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover.
It's into January now, and Broadway settled down to another year's worth of living. The days have begun to drift backward again, away from you. And it started all over. Crunch the time card, smile at the boss. And the comments made. But the main junk of dream is still there, and on Broadway it could happen. In the carnival, somewhere in there, in that Eddie of Crowd, or that one. Or across the street where the girl with the yellow hair sees your smile and blows a kiss. It's happened. But no dreams where I was. Long ago dreams revolved into hands full of crumbling plaster and thrown away. This place. Empty tenements. Abandoned. Seen now for two men at very early morning time. Me.
You're not gonna take me topper.
And murder suspects.
I didn't do anything, copper.
Come on down from there. We'll talk it over. I'm coming up after you.
I got a gun. I'm gonna use it, copper.
All right. Wherever you are, just listen for a moment. Slide your gun toward me on the floor. When you do that, I'll turn on this flash. Then walk toward me with your hands up. After that, I'll listen to what you. We should have listened first.
Come on, Dad. Come on. Yeah. No, try another one, Dad. Yeah, that one should do it. I can sit up Come on, I'll help you. I'm okay, Mark. Oh, if it's my day for helping, let me help him.

How does Detective Danny Clover first learn about Joseph Brady’s murder?
Everything is There's an all points folding out on him, Danny. We'll get him. Won't take long. Make you feel better? Yeah, real fine. The lady recognized him when he came out of the alley with a gun as a neighborhood drunk, neighbor Herb Lennon. I should have had him, Muggling. Ten minutes after he shot that man in the alley, I had him cornered in here and lost him. Oh, forget it. Come on, I'll take you back to headquarters.
Danny? Uh come on in, Sergeant.
Mm,
fine, mine. Something
hurts you, you know? You do, Larry. The lump you got there hurts me if you must know. Thanks. You got something for him? Indeed I do. As soon as I heard of the lump, I called Mrs. P, who prescribed the following police. Take a square yard of flagged wood. Preferably of the clan of No Gino, please. Very well, Lieutenant. You would care to know there have been no reports on the matter of the All Points Bulletin on Herbie Lennon. Well, that's what I wanted to know. And various items on the deceased whom Herb Lennon is alleged to have Just tell me. Deceased name, Joseph Brady. 45 years old. Address, quote, quote, East 48.
Good neighborhood.
Death instantaneous and 38 caliber bullet fired from up close. Site of death, alley between his apartment house and East 47.
What else?
Preliminary investigation shows the following. The deceased Joseph Brady was well to do, living off of royalties from a gadget he had invented. A kind of a bottle open for the bar trade and home use, which he did invent about five years ago.
Any connection between him and Herbie Lennon?
Uh, none, Danny, as far as known as yet. Can you manage, Lieutenant?
Fanny Clover speaking.
This is Herbie Leonard. Where are you, Herbie? Subway phone book. Thirty fourth in Lexington. I'll wait for you, Copper. And I'll talk to you. You better hurry before I change my mind.
I'll be right there.
No. I'll leave the recipe for the pocus right here on your desert, Danny. Please use it. Remember, I heard two.
You You're looking. Herb Lenin. In the flesh. Come on, Herb. Come on, Hub. Let's get out of here, Hub. Get hurt, Mister? It hurt when I drained you? Yeah, it hurt. Yeah, you get passed out. Uh huh. The same like me. It gets too big to handle, I pass out. You gonna listen to me? Oh. You'll listen, maybe, but you won't believe me.
