Speaker 1

Presenting Awes and Weald as the Third Man, the Lives of Harry Lyon the Fabulous Stories of the Immortal Character, originally created in the motion picture of The Third Man with the music by Anton Gallant. Here now is a story of power, politics and international intrigue. I got mixed up in it because I decided, just for a change of pace during an honest living, I got myself a

concession in Molinia for Buzzo. Buzzo being, as you probably know, a popular soft drink, and Molinia being, as you probably don't know, a small island republic in the Mediterranean. The concession I went on a crack game. If it just happened the dice were loaded in my favor. But the way things turned out, I'd have been lucky as i'd lost.

Speaker 2

It, sous.

Speaker 1

He managed to explain the situation just before the official Breeding Committee got on board. He only meant to impress your boyfriend and here was the whole Marinian Republic around the dictatorship, turning it allowed to impress me. First I was surrounded by numberless ducky based little gentle jingling with medals. And then I was confronted by the fabulous powle Lolita with the regress of both regress so very white shark with a peep. They also breathe eyes and skin like uncolored margitin and.

Speaker 7

In your own life, in the name of a glorious media, my husband, I bid you welcome to the island paradem Malinia.

Speaker 6

Liva, Malia, Lisa.

Speaker 1

On shore, a lot of beat up looking characters without any shoes that's been issued arm roads of paper roses. They threw the roses at me and I was put in an open car with Lolita and all fluent for a triumphal tour of the island. Whatsn't well? As the turns in just a moment, as the third anast.

Speaker 5

And orson welles.

Speaker 1

As the third man continues with today's story, the dead is candidate as a sixth thirty. That afternoon, I will still an honored guest, as the Mallenian state in the bank was scheduled in my honor. We take you now as the presidential palace, where Lolita is sending herself into an evening dress. Admiral, his medals all arranged, is waiting for us. You know the signs of the queen.

Speaker 7

See who that is to the plum. It's what your excellency uncle is fading fast. I expect to hear any more that he has taken wings.

Speaker 1

So but as foreign minista I ever had.

Speaker 5

I gather, I inherit the pose.

Speaker 7

But please don't bother to object, your excellency and my Ancle lizy or as recovered speech long enough to.

Speaker 5

Brief me on the job.

Speaker 7

What do you mean in your The essential for a post in your husband's government is information, and I cannot remember that your unclesy broor whatever minister of information. He was Minister of Culture, which is a title, and chief of secret police, which is a fact. In Millennia's information is politically importing in direct relation to who has it about who? Uncle EZI draw had lots and lots about everybody. A legacy is handing down to me.

Speaker 1

But don't worry all.

Speaker 7

That jab will be as closely gathered as before. I look upon this as a point of family honor, and I look upon it as a form of black man. I suggest we stop bickering from you, Ora and get down to immediate questions of stake, such as such.

Speaker 1

As persuading this hurry line.

Speaker 7

To use his influence in Washington to get up some of that money.

Speaker 5

And how are we going to do right? All?

Speaker 7

That's easy by convincing Lime that Malignia is really a democracy. No, these only demonstrations of my maccip or limes benefits of Putin is.

Speaker 5

Ethical for the musical diusical just said to speak for a little today?

Speaker 1

What about my seeing your rage was dynam.

Speaker 7

Your family, see people, freedom of speech, freedom of worship, short hours, higher pace all the advertisers, and had lunches for the children in school.

Speaker 1

Not surely there was applause.

Speaker 7

We don't even have a school.

Speaker 1

To serve the launches.

Speaker 7

It was just for lines benefits.

Speaker 5

Get his name on a check.

Speaker 2

It's not for his speech, for his lunches.

Speaker 1

The next thing that would be wanting to vote.

Speaker 7

That's just what I was going to suggest, what we must if we were the Shakespeare busy d mind with a presidential campaign, You mean with more than one candidate and ballotsis you know we're trying to look like at the maccracy antry. Well, what to be more plidi to me democratic than a presidential election? That's just killing. Some must agree with Lolita the idea of a presidential election in Malinia issue.

Speaker 1

May I ask why why?

Speaker 7

Because there's only me to vote before you find someone else? Why should we you mean somebody on our side? Somebody says me, for instance, you're not a president.

Speaker 1

Sounds of antism.

Speaker 7

Let's not get our servis in a communist manas is just as necessary to an election.

Speaker 1

It might suggestion we combine the two. And you want me to run against the rest? Where are you going to find one?

Speaker 2

Well?

Speaker 1

I did sea of your Campo Tempo. We only called him.

Speaker 7

A restrual tampo and almost forgotten it was nothing but the milk and.

Speaker 1

Water social democrats.

Speaker 7

I's the real trouble with Temple is he is dead Campo, so the planet before your time, sweetly, Campo was the resident of the Republic before they could is up.

Speaker 2

What did he die of?

Speaker 1

Oh? Some of the boys were chasing him.

Speaker 2

The boy, my.

Speaker 7

Boys, it was selling upgoing in the last days of the Civil Wars, and you know the sea cliff up west of the country club above the Christen camp called Brother sleep Well Temple left with all the people that he fled, escaping justice by leaving the country, which.

Speaker 1

Is after all, more or less what happened. By the way, where's one in.

Speaker 7

The Grand Imperial Hotel in his suit?

Speaker 1

He wanted a hot pass if he guess that the Grand made history.

Speaker 7

While I was in America, excellency, I made quite a survey of election campaign methods, and in many it is, and even in some space you will always make me another drink. Look, I'm sorry to press this point, but I'm not mistaken, am I? In the beliefs that we're taking a real crisis.

Speaker 5

Crisis bankruptcy, not too much water service.

Speaker 6

Now to get back to the American election, I'll take so many nuts.

Speaker 7

So the lata hey that some political machine is talent fire reform past. Yes, well, if each other party gets a bigger boat, there's a venerable tradition of dropping the ballot boxes in the river. But the best tactic is to ensure victory from the outset. And for this purpose the cemetery is there. What's cause the cemetery party works attend to the public radia. They can sell the names on the tombstones and make careful lists, which coming very

handy on election day. There's no better way of getting a comfortable majority for the straight partifices. Really, there's nothing more reliable than the dead voter. Now my igrea is even better without boasting.

Speaker 6

I feel that there's a whole mark of trusting all all right, what is it?

Speaker 1

Hy put it simply?

Speaker 7

I thought, but if you can improve your chances in political campaigns by using day, well why not make up to you?

Speaker 1

Be sure? Fine?

Speaker 2

But how do you do it?

Speaker 1

Isn't it obvious I'd be candidate? Naturally? I wasn't present for any of these secret meetings estate, but later I managed to feat it all together in jail. How did I happen to be in jail? We're coming to that just for a minute. Let's review the situation. A millennium dictatorship was busy turning itself into a democracy to put it over on hairry Lyve, who in turn was putting

it over on Millennia. The banquet in my armor and his story was a big d in which all the guests had up themselves nightively tanks up on a Bomea. I managed finally to get away for a Taksier and with Duby the driver put it up to a place called lovers Leap.

Speaker 6

Novels leap is what they call it can already, but cambo Leap is the little man.

Speaker 2

Camp first name. The man is going to Randy a lesson they tell us about is my hair?

Speaker 6

The drivers, you don't mean to say he jumps in the y s yeah, Andior Lisa, he did not have any choice, but he couldn't have lived. Oh, we have always told ourselves that it is signor as I've been.

Speaker 7

Both picked him up and someday he comes filing back and deliver Malinia from its pomp.

Speaker 1

The driver andel heard about the election.

Speaker 3

Maybe the driver wasn't it the better?

Speaker 1

That's true? Well, driver, they just announced the election to night. Campo is going to run for president? Too bad or quite too bad? Well, it was said they were running him for president. Yes, then we must certainly be dead.

Speaker 7

Yes, but what happened to say in extute cool said the candidate.

Speaker 2

Of course it is your idea.

Speaker 7

What happened is this social democrat is temple will see an extenior. Of course, how can you see said, just what makes it a good policy. We encourage the parsular notion that Camp is alive, and since he's not, he's a perfect.

Speaker 5

Candidate to run against the admiral.

Speaker 6

But that links sugar plan will be defeated.

Speaker 7

Yes, both in public is notoriously and graceful.

Speaker 1

But listen to the SiO.

Speaker 7

Really so the temple apparently announces that the infirmaty and all days makes it inadvisable for him to return from excience to think so the man.

Speaker 1

Meanwhile, from camp or relief, the millennium moon was still going for for us, Harry, Yes.

Speaker 2

Come clean, of course, that's no keep your hand. I want to look at you.

Speaker 1

You have noticed to the driver you're a very nice driver, I'm sure, but I wish you'd go away. You will be needing me to drive you to the host hospital.

Speaker 2

It's true, you're coming out in spot.

Speaker 6

Yes, and just when you see tomorrow morning, what kind of filleniums?

Speaker 1

Three weeks at least, hm, millennium legels. That's what I had to thank for missing the better part of the history making millennium election campaign. However, Susie who came daily to put press through through the bars or the pet cause get getting pretty closely informed.

Speaker 6

Come in, yes, excuse the chess please, but we're offully busy in here. Yes, I'm not at the Minister of South chest I have a drink. Sheef sixt police and the admirals.

Speaker 1

This election has gone far enough. Or we got instuctions from Washing. No, I don't ever get any constructions from Washington. It's a Susie's idea, Wakino. She just made up one of her little stories.

Speaker 1

Sorry? Arrest what.
