HOST: Robert E G Black of The Mandy Sucks Minute Podcast<\/h3>

“Of course,” says Vandamn, about to light a cigarette.<\/p>

“So obviously, your friends picked up the wrong package when they bundled me out here in the car!” replies Thornhill.\u00a0<\/p>

“Do sit down, Mister Kaplan,” says Vandamn, gesturing with his cigarette.\u00a0<\/p>

“I told you: I’m not Kaplan, whomever he is!” says Thornhill, as the door opens. It’s “Mrs. Townsend.”<\/p>

“Excuse me,” she says.\u00a0<\/p>

“Yes?” replies Vandamn.<\/p>

“The guests are here,” she says.<\/p>

“Look after them,” says Vandamn. “I’ll be with you in a few minutes.” She closes the door as she leaves.<\/p>

Vandamn turns back to Thornhill. “Now,” he says, “shall we get down to business?”<\/p>

“I’m all for that,” says Roger.\u00a0<\/p>

“Quite simply, I’d like to know how much you know about our arrangement,” says Vandamn. “And of course how you’ve come by this information. Naturally, I don’t expect to get this for nothing.”<\/p>

Roger exhales. “Of course not!” he says, sarcastically.<\/p>

“Don’t misunderstand me,” says Vandamn. “I don’t really expect you to fall in with the suggestion, but the least I can do is afford you the opportunity of surviving the evening.”\u00a0<\/p>

Roger turns and looks at Vandamn, stunned.\u00a0<\/p>

“What the devil is THAT supposed to mean?” he asks.\u00a0<\/p>

“Why don’t you surprise me, Mister Kaplan, and say yes?” says Vandamn.<\/p>

“I’ve already told you!” replies Thornhill.<\/p>

“We know where you’re headed for,” says Leonard.\u00a0<\/p>

“And I know where I’m headed,” replies Thornhill. “I’m headed for the Winter Garden Theater in New York, and I think I’d better get going.”<\/p>

Roger marches to the library door, only to bump into Valerian, blocking his way.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
