Clem gives Vonnie my gun, and he ties me up but good and shoves me into the restroom, where I spend the longest afternoon of my life listening through the door while the preparations are being made for my murder.
Phil HarperVOICE_ACTOR
It's about eight o'clock when Vonnie and Clem cram me into the trunk of the LaSalle and drive through the San Francisco fog.
Phil HarperVOICE_ACTOR
I don't know the city, so I haven't any idea where we are when they finally pull off the road and stop.
Phil HarperVOICE_ACTOR
The fog envelops everything like a shroud, but I can tell one thing: water is close by and a long way below us.
LeeHOST
On to the graphics and the speed.
LeeHOST
For the Mega Drive Mean Machines, Sega liked the intricate backgrounds and the realistic vehicles, but one of their reviewers said it wasn't up to Jungle Strike's standard, and that the San Francisco fog looked more like snow.
Mark WebbHOST
Well, snow in San Francisco would certainly be a twist, Lee.
Mark WebbHOST
Uh, the Super Nintendo version was more colorful according to the American mag Next Generation.
Anthony CiminoHOST
I don't imagine fog is a thing.
Anthony CiminoHOST
San Francisco fog's a thing.
Anthony CiminoHOST
Like every day.
Anthony CiminoHOST
Yeah.
LJ HarryHOST
But something happened during the Great Depression.
LJ HarryHOST
When much of America was scraping by for just a bowl of soup, Joseph Strauss emerged from the San Francisco fog and pitched the idea to build the longest suspension bridge in the world to join Marin County with San Francisco.
LJ HarryHOST
But he did not work alone, obviously.
LJ HarryHOST
He marshaled a skilled, determined team of engineers, consultants, architects, ironworkers, divers, and laborers to build the iconic 8,981-foot-long, 746-foot-high bridge we know as the Golden Gate Bridge, which opened for traffic in 1937.
DemetriaHOST
So one day I just packed myself a little solo picnic.
DemetriaHOST
And I went to Alamo Square right in the middle of the day and sat there at the park looking out at the painted ladies, those beautiful, colorful Victorian houses all wrapped in that cold San Francisco fog, because of course it was foggy.
DemetriaHOST
And I just sat there and nobody needed anything from me.
DemetriaHOST
I wasn't rushing to get back for a pickup, a school pickup, and nobody was texting me to ask where the charger was.
speaker_6HOST
Let's start up north in San Francisco with Hammett.
speaker_8HOST
In The Maltese Falcon, the famous San Francisco fog is practically a character itself.
speaker_6HOST
Hammett had actually been a Pinkerton detective in real life, so he wrote this fiction as a study in deep bruising professional cynicism.
speaker_8HOST
The San Francisco he created for his detective Sam Spade is all vertical intrigue.
speaker_1HOST
They don't take an extended bow or soak in the applause.
speaker_1HOST
The final chord rings out, they drop everything and they bolt straight off that stage, right back into the belly of that armored bank truck and speed off into the San Francisco fog.
CassHOST
Leaving live performance behind for good.
CassHOST
Which brings up a fascinating thought to consider, especially when you look at the trajectory of their career after that night.
