Manage episode 499488542 series 3603785
Early in the evening, Peter Woods, a young lawyer, had time to kill before his appointment with Hilda Ryan, his fiancé, so he took a walk along Madison Avenue which was practically deserted. He stopped to window browse outside a bookshop. Just as he was getting interested in some of the titles, he was joined by a couple. The guy says "What you stopping here for Dixie?" She says "Maybe I like books". He says "Maybe you don't. Maybe you're just stalling for time, huh?" She says "Oh Steve, let go my arm. You are hurting me". Steve says "Am I? Then, let's get moving. Now you don't really mean that do you baby?" Peter says "Excuse me mister, I don't like to break into a love scene". Steve says "Well then, don't pal". Peter says "Take your hand off her". Steve says "Okay, Sir Galahad, now I'll give it to you". Dixie says "Steve don't. Oh...you knocked him out, with one punch". Peter says "Yeah, maybe I'm stronger than I thought". Dixie says "What is your name?" He says "I'm Peter Woods". Dixie says "Oh, Peter darling, how can I thank you? If it had not been for you I would have been...." Just then, a police officer walks up. Peter says "You're just in time officer. This girl was being molested". The officer says "Yeah, by whom?" Peter says "That man down there....." The officer asks "What man down where, buddy?" Peter says "Why, he's disappeared. He was just lying there, officer". The officer says "Let me smell your breath". Peter says "I'm not drunk. Ask this lady she'll tell you what happened". Dixie says "You bet I will, officer, this man Peter Woods, he tried to kill me".
