Get this and get it straight. Crime is a sucker's road. Those who travel it wind up in the gutter, the prison, or the grave. There's no other end, but they never learn.
From the pen of Raymond Chandler, outstanding author of crime fiction, comes his most famous character in... The Adventures of Philip Marlowe. Now, with Gerald Moore, starred as Philip Marlowe, we bring you tonight the exciting story, The Good Neighbor Policy. The Good Neighbor Policy
The day was hot and sticky. The city wore it like a wet shirt. To make things worse, there was a xylophone playing somewhere in the building and that started me thinking about my neighbors. Mostly, I was thinking two things about them. One, I didn't know any of them. And two, I'd like to shake the hand of the fellow that banged that xylophone day and night and break it Not a very neighborly thought, but then it had been one of those days. You know, the kind that prompts the neighbors to set the dogs on each other. Yeah, but now the sun had called it a day. The wind had switched from the desert to the ocean. And I was figuring I'd be a better friend to man and woman if I took a long, cool shower. Well, there's got to be some legal way to kill xylophone players.
Oh, no, big finish yet. Hey. Yes? Uh, your name Marlowe? Phil Marlowe? Yeah, that's right. I live two apartments down the hall. You got a call on my phone. I got a call on your phone? Well, look, the call's there. I'm a busy guy. You want it or don't you? Well, sure, sure I want it. Okay, come on. All right. I, uh... I didn't catch your name. No, you didn't. In here. Phone's over there on the desk. Snap it up, will you? Yeah, sure. Regular charm of this fella. Hello?
Phil, it's Ann.
Oh, hiya, honey.
Something must be wrong with your phone. I keep dialing your number and getting a very unpleasant little man.
Yeah, he's not so little. What's on your mind?
Oh, it's out tonight, Phil.
Oh, no.
Beanie sprained her ankle a little while ago, and I'll have to fill in for her at the hospital tonight.
That does it. What? Nothing. We'll do it again, huh?
Soon, I hope, Phil.
Call me tomorrow?
Yeah, sure, sure. Goodbye, honey. Bye, Phil. The lady says she keeps dialing my number and getting you. I'll report it. Yeah, why don't you? That's what I said. Oh, packing for a trip? In between phone calls for you, yeah. Look, it's only been one, and I said I'm sorry. What do you want, blood? Leave. Thanks, neighbor.
Like I said, it had been hot all day. And I wasn't getting any cooler exchanging pleasantries with laughing boy. Back in my own apartment, I mixed myself a tall, cool drink and thought about Ange. who was neither. I just about decided on that shower again when I remembered about calling the phone company.
