The Walls Came Tumbling Down1946

Matthew Stoker:
Where are those Bibles? Rausch! [Rausch strikes Archer] Now Mr. Archer, why did you check a dictionary and an almanac at the library? Or would you rather have another waltz with our friend Rausch here?

Gilbert Archer:
How'd you get those books?

Matthew Stoker:
I never worry about technicalities, Mr. Archer. Our estimable Rausch persuaded the attendant to give the package to him. You have yourself to blame for what happened. The unfortunate check clerk is now in the emergency hospital in a very precarious condition. Now, why did you check those books in the library?

Gilbert Archer:
To throw King Kong off my trail.

Matthew Stoker:
I gave you a retainer, Mr. Archer. Where are those Bibles?

Gilbert Archer:
What's your hurry? Afraid a couple of murders are going to catch up with you?

Matthew Stoker:
I assure you, Mr. Archer, I do not find murder particularly distasteful when necessary. However at the moment, I shall be content with ordering Rausch to beat you within an inch of your life. Where are those Bibles?

Gilbert Archer:
Now wait! I'll tell you. Give me a drink first. A Bible isn't always a Bible.

Matthew Stoker:
What do you mean by that?

Gilbert Archer:
Joshua led his troops seven times around the city of Jericho. Remember, Reverend? Did you look on page seven of this dictionary?
