The Shadow - Murder Incorporated

Are you Mr. Conrad?

Oh, yes, I'm Mr. Conrad.

Come on, get in, please.

Thank you.

[laughs] You must be Mr. Pasquel.

Yes, that's right.

Sorry I wasn't at the station when your train came in, Mr. Conrad.

Bad night.

I had a hard time getting down the mountain.

You know, I was beginning to think perhaps I'd misunderstood your instructions.

Well, I wouldn't have, uh, have you come out on a night like this, but I'm having a bit of a celebration tomorrow, and I'd like to have the piano played.

It's quite all right, Mr. Pasquel.

Musical instruments are like humans to me.

I, I never fail to respond to a call.

I see.

Yes.

Uh, my house is about two miles up the mountain.

Uh-huh.

I'm afraid you're going to find it rather alone for this late-

Oh, no, no, indeed.

I won't mind at all.

I hope you've come prepared to spend the night, Mr. Conrad.

Eh, l- the night?

Yes.

You see, there are no trains until morning.
