Have you heard about the 2018 study that showed half of prenatal vitamins tested, had unacceptable levels of heavy metals? No. Well, now you have. I'm Kat, mother of three, and founder of Ritual, the company making traceability of a new standard in the supplement industry. I remember staring at my prenatal vitamins and finding all these things I was trying to avoid. High amounts of heavy metals, synthetic colorants, and unnecessary ingredients. So, at four months pregnant, I quit my job and started ritual, because I believe that all women deserve to know what they're putting in their bodies and why. I'm so proud of our prenatal vitamins. The ingredients are 100% traceable, it's third-party tested for microbes and heavy metals, and recently received the parity award from the Clean Label Project. You see, we trace like a mother because, let's be honest, no one cares quite like a mother. But don't just take my word for it. Trace for yourself with 25% off at ritual.com/preneal. Quiet, please. Quiet, please. [Music] The American broadcast the company presents Quiet, please. Which is written and directed by Wilma Cooper, and which features Ernest Chappell. Quiet, please. For tonight, it's called angle foot. [Music] Back in the old days when GI didn't mean general issue adjustment galvanized iron, I used to be a plumber. There are no cracks about leaving tools in the shop when you want to know jobs. Because if a farmer took along all the tools he's liable to need on a job he don't know nothing about to get there. He'd need one of those move-in vans to tow them. First of the same, what you can do with a fortune is still some wrench and a mip full of openly be surprised at. Who faced where it worked? Well, the other smell of plumbing shop might tell you what you smell. Open first thing, like clear soap, that's what you start with. linseed oil, that's in the red lead you use on the joints and stuff. Smell a hot lead where the kid's nothing done, scrap lead and a little pig you can put in your bag. Dalvinized iron? Yeah, sure, you can smell galvanized iron. If I didn't throw the 50 L's and the T's and the street L's and the couple's and the unions, all sizes, and the 42 sizes. You can smell galvanized iron iron. The under the smell of a wretch that moved back behind the bins. Daffyling, burning in the bull torches and the furnaces. And the thing I remember best of all, the smell of the fly paper. I haven't seen the big plastic for every place. I don't know, maybe in the old days it was more other than it was more flies or something. Even like a little place you went to running the fly paper. Remember that smell? Like varnish with sugar in it? Like tappy that got spoiled. Kind of a fascinating smell in a very sticky way. Think about it when you kind of think. You know, one of the flies like the smellin went for it. Well, sure flies can smell. They got smelly to make a blood on jettison if you know it. Mmm, thank God lots of things. Yeah, you gotta unionize. Six density legs. Wings. Then they clunk like an elephant. Only little air. The bus kissed their brother. Huh? Yeah, not the flies they can't talk. Boy, how do you look very good. I know a lot about flies. I'll tell you about it. We can see it today. There was people living upstairs above the permanent sample I worked. That was in the summer of 1915 I guess. I'm gonna tell you why I vote. They're back porch. I'm over the back porch of the shop. They kind of shared where we used to thread pipe, melops, stuff like that. And Rickets, the horse used to be tied up back there in the alley with a wagon. When he was working back there, it was quiet and shady and hot. What I think of here was Rickets stamping his feet and switching his tail of the flies. Maybe they'll see a gasoline furnace. Who I think was working a little tough and kind of lazy and slow on the heat. And boy, was it hot. I, and Kirby, who was driving three-quarter inch black iron pipe? You want some body screws in the next box? And what body screws? I'm gonna press you soon tonight. Well, that was enough. No. All right. Yeah, that's good enough. I did not like the pipe. Hotting it. And it was a lot of things in this case. Well, Rickets out there in the sun. The heads in the shade, what the iron about flying like it? You just put the fly in there, and then... Yeah. That's how I don't step in the fly paper. Fly paper every place that birds change their leaves nuts about fly paper. Run stuff. It goes all over the place, and that's where you're throwing it. You throw it up the fly. Don't take care of the fly paper. You think that all that stuff around there wouldn't be so many flies? Eyes are smart. How do you mean that? Smart. Smart paper is always for them. And then you sit down and fly. Smart ones look at it, and they look and fly away. They land on people, buses, take a bite, you know. That's longer. I wonder how long flies leave. Yeah, I don't know. Too long. Any more likes to talk to you instead of? No. Good. You know what I was trying to think about? Even? That's what I'm thinking about. What time is it? I got thank you, and this is last year's test. I'm pretty near noon. We're gonna go and do you? You wanna go with me? I wasn't joking. That's what you want to say. No flies on you, brother. It's all right. She makes a nice cream, she's that funny. You know what I'm saying? No, she went up to the D.R.S. this morning. The D.R.S. has got to say it or something. It's not like to stop at rooms and get them bald hands or something. We could make some of this. Well, we've got something. We've got something now. We're eating now, too. Yeah. It's not like that. It's not like that. It's not like that. The only thing that stands so simple is not knowing nothing. Not knowing anything. Yeah, you'll get it in a minute. You'll get a lot of stuff. A lot of stuff. I'll start in that way. I'll wait seven times and pick and factor around and... ...back. We went up the ice thing at this house. It was in the kitchen. It was kind of cool. And that's how I headed to go back to work. [Laughter] I hate to put that too fast. I'd like to lay down and take a nap. [Laughter] We're getting to the kitchen. Yeah. That wasn't a lie. Yeah. That's like a big kitchen food. [Laughter] I don't think it's normal. It's only the best. The lies don't have problems, too. That's not a thing. At least I'm for your mom, unless you don't like that food. If you want some more, then I'm full. Thanks. I'm going to start a couple of years from now. Then I'm going to put it on. Yeah. Well, I'm thinking about trying. You told you about trying today. Well, I just got the same thing about it. And that's the same thing about it. [Laughter] If you understand yourself, it's not a cut fly. It's crazy. It's not a cut fly. It's not a cut fly. It's not a meaner. No, it will. This is what you're looking at. It should be a great big fly. This is a bomb. What kind of a cut? What kind of a cut? What kind of a fly? What kind of a fly? What a magnifying guy. Don't see much. That's a meaner. Looking faces at everything. You're a big guy. You're a nice. Look at you from all over. I was washing up faces like a cat. It's very strange. Oh, sure. She's a big fly. She'll be a swell puffer. Look, you're a tangent. Oh, I gave her my eye. Say to me this right there. Be as big and strong as a ball. Put a big chain on him. Fly away with you. And try to train him to take any places. Well, you know. Yeah, you should think of him as a educated fly. Fly is smart. Fly faces catches and a good old kind of good boy. Don't feel like a big piece of camera foot to catch your throat. Ain't that much kind of foot in the world? You know, fly like that in the world, either. Oh, boy. Say why? Didn't you hear the whistle? Come on, play the one. Yeah. I know what you see to fly that fool. Have to feed him people, I guess. And now let's go. And a member was putting me in three, four months later. I was just getting kind of the first days of fall. And people were starting to burn dry leaves along the curbstone. Probably the middle was fixing a half-hour, either for Frank, and either for Gibbons, the telegraph. I've ever lived out there where Washington runs on the cross street. Kind of cool out there, I remember. Mrs. Gibbons, she was drawing at us because she said we were just as slow. She wanted that hot water here to fix right this minute. She wanted to take a bath before to pick and spice up a Christian church. She had to put the ice in yet on two double food cakes, and then we'd please hurry up, she was out of tizzy. Then finally, Henry come with a reduced to two who was waiting for. Mrs. Gibbons, she went off to the kitchen and lit up the cakes, and don't go bang things around and make my cakes fall, she said. I said, "Yes, man, for about the forty-teenth time she shut the door." And they're done with barking at her. And I said, "Hmm, me, too. I can't well believe you alone." I got the union after her. She thinks she knows so much about plumbing. "Well, this is cool." "What?" "That's the matter." "Yeah, I got my own boner fly paper." "We haven't thought she's still got flight paper around for her. Let me do it." "Got to take off the skin, too." She scraped me some gasoline on it. I got guff all over me. I didn't think I'd fit through the waste. "You know, gasoline." "I know what it's a fly." "Huh?" "I know what it's a fly." "Well, I just want 'em." "Well, two reasons." "Perfect." "I don't like this fly." "Like 'em." "Razed 'em from a popper, baby." "Razed a fly from a popper." "The second thing is you want to swap this fly. You better have a baseball bat." "What?" "This here fly is eight inches left." "Huh?" "I'm in the redland." "How big?" "Maybe nine." "Where you going?" "This difference?" "What are you calling her for?" "This doesn't cross the asylum." "Perfectly brought her worth the same fly as my niece's mom." "Yeah, I'm going to the crows yet." "Come on, Denny." "Yes, Denny boy." "Yes, Denny. Come on, Denny." "Come on, Denny." "Denny, it's Denny." "Come on, Denny." "Here, boy." "Good dog." "Come on, Denny." "Hey, Denny, come on out of there." "Come on now." "I had it." "Not his dog." "Hey!" "Come on, boy." "Hey!" "He's asleep, maybe." "Well, would he be hollering that way?" "Maybe he ain't there, maybe he's on." "There's two I can see him." "He's laying out of there." "He's asleep." "He's asleep." "Well, reach in and pull him out." "Come on, dog, come on." "What?" "Huh?" "He's dead." [Crickets chirping] You might have ever seen anybody... anything I mean that they're... I killed it. No, I don't mean to kill what put insurance on them like that, I mean... Who? Who did my flyer? This year flyer, they ain't just long. Maybe nine. This year, Fly killed Teddy, that was your big brother, worst dog that was a hind dog that weighed 42 pounds on John Aper's scale the day before. This year, Fly just up and killed poor old Teddy. But... maybe Teddy was scared to think about the Fly first. Because nobody in the whole great, big, wide world ever seen a Fly that was a... it's nine inches long. Nobody but first Teddy and old Teddy. And... afterwards... me. [Siren] I ain't found him yet. Maybe he got froze to death. Kind of scares me, but... I don't know if you... And he'd come back to me or bite him on the head. He'll come flyin' at you. I'm flyin' up. You won't even see his wings. You know, our Fly's wings is, you can see through him. Maybe he's froze to death. Fly can't stand cold weather. They die. They don't always die. Sometimes they go into what is in a comma. When they get warm, they come to again. And then they're hungry. Well, I think he's dead. Because we ain't heard about anybody croaking, you know, with a... with a mystery. Not since Teddy... Hey, I can... don't see that block. Try not thinkin' about Teddy. Maybe you want to lose some Fly paper around, think I was just like that. I got Fly paper all around the clothing there where he was. Teddy enough. And don't have to be so heavy. He learns on a hunk of tango footage. I get all stuck to the hair and hair. Hair in his legs. Fly's got hair on the legs. Real hair? Not like this one. Like spice, kind of. He gets fly paper stuck in his legs, his wings. And he's gonna go skid him around much. Maybe he's dead. Sure hope not. Hope not. Well, I kind of like him. He laid up Teddy. Maybe just to satisfy the findin' we get to see him. And it's quite a sight, though, like looking at a fly through a magnifying dress. Sure, glad he only got to be eight, nine inches long. Hate to lose him. I can put him in a circus or a side show or something. Make a jillion dollars. Take him up to Chicago. People had come from mindset. I said, "Well, it was dangerous about a museum like that one where is it, New York?" He was quite a thing. He was deep and nice. I wasn't caught nice. But I'm happy. Honestly, what do you do to a dead man? Well, thanks for kindly. I see what he done to Teddy. How'd you gettin' so big for a big, huh? Secret buck. And so? That if he lay an egg. The egg would be bigger. I mean, the puppet would be bigger than he was. Slide egg. Bigger than a hand-sick. Bigger than maybe a turkey egg. Maybe he's dead. Yeah. Now, he comes after me. I'm gonna shoot him. My old problem? You couldn't hear it. The loom with a bull's head. Oh, you hear them all right. Hello, Luis. How'd you do? Who's that buck? I don't know. Just moved to town from someplace in Ohio, Iowa, someplace. Luis Mcgendy and McKinley and McKinney, something like that. But you are. Better than Power Hall like that, Sierra and I. My parents. Social athletic club, huh? Well, now, see ya at the shop in the morning. So now, I'll, I can't let it. Yeah, I'm gonna snow. Feel like snow? More busted weather types. Yeah. So long back, say it, uh, I believe he's watching me at something in it. Yeah, I feel like I say it, guys. I like it. Say, uh, "Herbie." What? Listen. What? Listen, that ain't great big fly years here on the level now. Isn't it a great big fly, huh? Couldn't have just been, but I just thought about all of a sudden. I've never seen this here fly. I mean, you think I'm just fooling? I was wondering. I was just making it up. Was it? No, I wasn't making it up. I just wondered, listen, about it. I never made that up. There's no wish there was. Listen, never started making flies go big. I was stopping. I got one mistake. I was, I don't know whether to believe you're not. Listen, what can I think, what that there's flying? Remember, with that last summer, when you first talked about it, you said, what would you feel? A great big fly? Yeah. Remember what you said? What? You said, "People." "People" is said. That's what you feel. Oh. Yeah. Listen, you already had a job that we know about. You want to see? If he ain't dead by now, and all is cold, he must be, he must be what? How are you? 30 December, 1915. Here, seven, six, five, four, three, the third, then I heard you and me talk like I told you. I remember, because on the seventh, the Boy Scout set a movie at the Capitol Theatre, used to be the standard theatre, and he was a kid with a Google, blown it out front. That was the seventh. That was the night Lord King came from me up from the shop, and you know, Watson came over from kind of next door and told me, "Berb is calling me." And I wore it, but he said, "You and Herbie better work the right away to these people, these machinies and machinies and machinies, whichever it was, because their friend is on this one with it, and it was hot on me, it was freezing, and I said, "Go on, I'm over, and Herbie of me, 'cause there he was already on the way with Ricketts and the wagon and the tools." So I said, "All right, now I'm home and put on my overshoes and my army's sweater, and I'm over there." See, in the places only two doors away from where Herbie lives, they're a bit of coffee at school. That's why he was there already, see? I know he didn't bother to knock on the door, I just went around at the cellar door with my Coleman and I didn't, and I come on down, and Herbie was there already setting on the cellar steps, so I just about fell over, and I'm not looking very happy. So I said, "I thought there was freedom that I was out here in this house with a mustard furnace that's not cold down here, it's wild," I said. I fixed it. Huh? I fixed the furnaces. The valve was corroded, and I put a loom on it, and I fired up its eye. Well, what you said, "I'm going to cellar stairs for them if it's all fixed." What you said, "I'm going to cellar stairs for them if it's all fixed." What you said, "I'm here for? All right." What you're looking so crabby about. Anybody want to be crabby with me, I'll talk carefully across town and about what you said. You're so crabby about. Huh? She's down here. Oh, the ladies, you know, the McKinley Gather, whatever her name is, where? That's bull. And that's why I need to ask him to clean his company and clean his head out. Gonna make some time, huh? I said, "I'll kill here you." Herbie. And one back there on the fissure of Clavitt. And four, gonna bring you a jar of apple butter. Oh, man, make some of the berry wine. Ha-ha. Got some bottles back there, but from Ohio or Iowa, whatever it is, three years old. And I sure like the other berry wine. I know it. Well, I said you're going to be. I'm a good guy on your fissure, baby. So you've got everything fixed up, I'll beat it. You don't have to go. I never stood in this guy's fissure, baby. Now you walk into the cold and the small ain't no score. Well, right home and read V.C. Allen's worth editorialism at times, and I'll leave the coast clear for you. You don't have to do that, but just as soon as I have one drink, you'll build the berry wine. Hmm. I know there was a catch in this car. Now you're right away, honest Herbie. Ha-ha. Hey. You can tell I've heard about the giant flies you think had it out. I think that, and guess it, good ever was alive. You got the makers? We got some paper made. Me, both. And she bribed. Interesting. Nah. What you doing? Making that wine? Oh, man, probably hit it first off. You give her a good smacking up your fancy sport. I'm going to give you a good smacking too, hmm? And she yell at her, and folks will hear upstairs. Louise, shut up. Ha-ha. Hey, Louise, shut up, Buck. Come on. Let's go help her next. Louise, you want some help? The people will hear you. In you? Hey, Louise. I thought maybe you hear this, um. Louise. Louise. Louise. I thought maybe you heard this, um. Louise. Louise. Buck, what's that? Her B. What's in that, Buck? What's that? Her B. What's in that? Buck. What's that? Her B. What's that? Her B. What's in that? Buck. What's that? Her B. What's in that? Buck. What's that? Her B. What's in that? Buck. What's that? What's that? No, you never did. Kirby and I did. A big, not eight, nine inches long now, down on the hot stuffy southern. Two feet long, and seven, kinda looky at where his dopey like he had a big dinner. From Louise, Kirby, they thank her tonight. They thank her for their earnest lives. I could see them eyes, and chin your eyes, and that trunk like elephant. It kinda buzzed and wiggled its eyes at me, and rubbed its face with its... 'Cause I can't watch in this face a good dinner. And I tried to holla, but all I could hear was this... Buzzing, that's all. And then it kinda stumbled up from the pipes. It jumped in it, and I passed my face, and it threw kinda sagging, kinda out of the corner of the eye. I've seen that it flew out under the first room. And the famous dog was opening the fire. You wanna hear it tomorrow, huh? Listen, a little bit more, you've come this far with me soon. How many police boys? Kirby and me in jail. They said we murdered Louise, but nobody could murder anybody like that. And there wasn't any other evidence, so see, the flag was dead, disappeared, and it wasn't anything to go on. So they had to let us go. That's pretty near the whole story. Hey, Kirby, the egg, oh, I'm sure I already know how about that egg, and about the egg. We're gonna hand-sick. There's a turkey egg, back there in the dark behind the pipes. I didn't see it, but I never told anybody about it. Did I hurt me? Nobody but you, and when they left us out of jail, they come back here looking like it was gone. It was kind of a squenching back there, and we looked for sure enough. Lava, they called it in the ports, you know. And we took it away with us, and sure enough, this one will go bigger in its father, or its mother, or whatever it was. I loved every one since then. It's got a little bigger and a little hungrier. Hey, that's so heavy. Yep, hungrier all the time. Never let 'em out to hunt. Wait. What kind of thing do you have there? (chuckles) First real life that fly you ever seen. Heirloies, we call 'em Louise. Look at them eyes. Visions. Look, they're unrollers, troggers, they're cute. Nice, clean face. See the sharp bristles on his legs? They just fly in the world, bigger in the collage. They're gonna shut the ponyman out there. And hungrier too. Come on, Louise. Wake up. You can wake up. Uh-huh. Okay, okay. Go on in. No, you're not talking, sir. You be sad. Go on in. Go on in, Louise is hungry. Nice. (coughing) It's not ready. Can I move your feet? Sure. You're stuck in seven? (chuckles) You used to call that stuff fly paper. We got a different thing for it now. And I just tryin' to get Louise. You're stuck for good. And Louise is hungry. I only heard him in a minute. That's all. Careful, Louise Hunter, don't get your feet stuck in the man paper. (somber music) (dramatic music) - The tiger, nice, quiet, please, story is tango foot.
