MAN: Tonight's stars,
Harry Guardino,
Richard Kiley,
Julie Adams,
Ray Danton,
and Jill Ireland,
Good evening,
In the netherworld
inhabited by ghouls,
goblins, gremlins,
and the generally grotesque,
it's occasionally possible
to put this sundry
and myriad crew on canvas,
and this we do in this
arcade of the outrageous,
Painting number one,
a small item of hope
and faith and despair,
an excursion into the eerie
in which we touch base
with that fraternity
of the dispossessed
who seek out something
miraculous in the way of cures
and in the way of hope,
Our painting is called
"The Miracle at Camafeo,"
and it's offering
number one in this,
the Night Gallery,
( church bell ringing )
Who are they?
The lame, the sick,
the blind, and the doomed,
Where do they all come from?
From everywhere,
They come by airplane,
by car,
by crutch,
And they all have
two things in common,
- Their suffering would be one,
- Mm-hmm,
Faith would be the other,
They go to the shrine
and they pray for a miracle,
But you, Mr, Rogan,
you have youth and health,
and this is not Acapulco,
What brings you to Camafeo?
Maybe I'm looking for a miracle,
Hi,
Mind if I join you?
Have I a choice?
Well, you can scream,
tell me that you
don't wanna be bothered,
that you're not
that kind of a girl or,,
Or what?
Give me the bottom line?
Well, the bottom line
is that you ask me to join you
and let me buy you a drink,
My name is Rogan,
My name is Melcor,
Mrs, Melcor,
And I'll try a margarita,
Good,
Amigo,
Margarita for the lady,
MAN: Yes,
It's haunting, isn't it?
Very,
Candlelight procession,
It's kind of storybook,
don't you think?
I'm not much of a reader,
No?
Well, I kind of fancy
myself a writer,
I make up stories,
Would you like to hear one?
Do I have choices
on that one, too?
No, As a matter of fact,
you don't,
This story begins in Chicago,
A guy about 30,
35 years old,
Why, we'll call him Melcor,
Joe Melcor,
Why don't you drink
your drink, Mrs, Melcor?
Now, about this
hypothetical character
that we'll call Joe Melcor,
about a year ago,
on a rainy day in Chicago,
he enters an intersection,
And a bus skids,
Sideswipes him, so he says,
And he's immediately
rushed to the hospital,
X-rayed from his arches
to his eyebrows,
and they can't find
anything wrong with him,
Everything is in place,
Outside of a few bruises,
he's okay,
But now, this Joe Melcor,
he's a--he's a thinker,
Yeah, he's a schemer,
a conniver,
I don't have to listen
to this,
Well, now, you don't have
to listen to it,
Mrs, Melcor, but it would be
courteous if you did,
I'm almost at the end,
Mr, Melcor
decides while he's lying
in his hospital bed,
or maybe even 24 hours before
he had the accident,
that there are all sorts
of ways to make a buck,
and only one good way to make
500,000 of them,
So he tells his doctor
and the nurses
and the press
that he can't move,
He's paralyzed,
So, he sues
the transit company,
They fight him on it,
It goes to court,
Now, here's the heart-rending
part of the story, Mrs, Melcor,
Each morning, he's carried
into court on a stretcher,
flat on his back,
crippled for life,
Poor Joe Melcor,
So, there's no contest,
Joe Melcor lying flat
on his back
versus that big,
heartless corporation
and its insurance company,
Poor Joe Melcor,
That crippled, beautiful David
against two big ugly Goliaths,
He deserved the half-million,
No, he deserves
an Academy Award,
that's what he deserves,
For best performance
given by a perfectly
healthy conman
in a three-day trial,
Either that or a swift kick
in the keister,
to get him back up on his
two perfectly good feet
and a few laps
around the prison yard
to keep him healthy while
he's serving time for fraud,
You got no right to talk
about Joe that way!
Lady, I have $500,000
worth of right,
You see, I'm an investigator,
I work for one of those
Goliaths,
I investigate claims for them,
So, that's why you
followed us down here,
That's why you've been
hounding us,
Oh, I don't figure
that I'm hounding
your husband, Mrs, Melcor,
Let's just say
that I'm a guy working out
of an insurance office
coming down
to Mexico to do a job,
peeking in on
one Joe Melcor to see
if he's still horizontal
and to keep him honest,
There were doctors who said
that he wasn't lying,
They said that under oath,
No, ma'am, they didn't say
that he wasn't lying,
They testified they couldn't
be sure he wasn't lying,
Now, wait a minute,
Mrs, Melcor,
I'm almost finished now,
It's the last chapter,
Joe Melcor's halfway home now,
Yeah,
He's got a half a million
dollars voted to him
by twelve compassionate dupes,
but how does he spend the money
flat on his back, hmm?
Drugs, medicine, surgery?
Some dramatic breakthrough
at somebody's clinic,
where good Old Joe Melcor
can get up
and walk right out the door?
Negative,
Because there was nothing
wrong with Joe Melcor
from the beginning,
So we strike out medicine,
And now, Mrs, Melcor,,,
comes the finale,
Yeah, there's a small
Mexican village called Camafeo,
There's a shrine there where
people come from all over
to pray for miracles,
and this is where Joe Melcor
gets his walking papers,
That's right,
They carry him up
on his stretcher to the shrine,
and he comes running down,
Now, who do we call as a witness
to this miracle?
God?
I don't care for the story,
Mr, Rogan,
I suggest you stick
to insurance,
CHARLIE: Mrs, Melcor,
will you deliver a message
to your husband for me?
Tell him there's a man
named Rogan down here
who has a nose for fraud,
It's an instinct,
a sixth sense,
You tell him that I
can smell out a bunco
quicker than a beagle
can smell out a bird,
You tell him that for me, huh?
I'll deliver the message,
Mr, Rogan,
Mr, Rogan,
I know it's none
of my business, but,,,
do you derive pleasure
treating a woman like that?
No, amigo,
no pleasure,
You wanna know
why I was tough on her?
Look at those people out there,
They limp, they stumble,
they grope,
trying for a miracle,
And that husband of hers
is gonna get carried
up there first class,
He's gonna
go through the motions
of moving his lips in prayer
and then walk down
with no regrets, no conscience,
Well,,,
when he robs me,
that's fraud,
But when he robs the kingdom
of heaven, that's sacrilege,
I'm desperate,
I want him caught before
he dirties up your shrine,
JOE: Close the door,
Keep it dark,
Where have you been?
Out for a walk,
Stopped at the bar for a drink,
JOE: Well, I envy
you on both counts,
but that doesn't look too
good, does it?
I mean, you down there
drinking while your poor,
paralyzed husband
lies up here all alone,
Joe,,,
you know that man,
the one who keeps popping up?
His name is Rogan,
He's from the insurance company,
JOE: Well, that figures,
He has that look,
that tough, bulldog,
flatfoot look,
He'll probably come nosing
around here,
And if he does,
he'll find poor Old Joe,,,
just like
the bus company left him,
- Joe?
- Mmm?
Oh, I don't know,
You don't know what?
I don't know if
what we're doing is,,,
is right,
( laughs )
You don't, huh?
When I was outside, I was--
I was watching
those people,
the ones on their way
to the shrine,
They go up there to pray,
We go up there to cheat,
We go up there so that
people like Rogan
won't be waiting for us
every place we check in,
I don't want my life bugged,
For tomorrow, after I say
my prayers and I get up
and I walk down that hill,
I want you smiling because
that's part of the deal,
And if you blow it honey,
if you start
acting like the fallen woman
on the way to confession,
then my first act
as a whole man
will be to play handball
with you against the wall,
And you will be up
at that shrine asking
to have the blue marks removed,
You dig?
Yeah, Joe,
I dig,
( music playing )
( bell ringing )
Here, let me help you,
Would you like me to carry
him up the hill for you?
WOMAN: Gracias, seรฑor,
Thattaboy,
Gracias seรฑor, gracias,
De nada,
Here we go, son,
Gracias,
I pray the child
will see again,
Gracias,
I pray for a miracle,
Gracias,
( indistinct chatter )
The fruits of prayer
no longer needed,
Left here is a token
of the cure,
God, of course,
does not make promises
to those who come here and pray,
It is all left up to Him,
But there are miracles?
Frequently,
Camafeo is a shrine city,
my son,
The virgin appeared here
many years ago,
so we know that
God has blessed this place,
It is a holy spot,
Tell me something, Father,
The ones that don't get cured,
what do you say to them?
I'm not sure I understand,
What happens to their faith
when they come here
with crutches and they leave
with them, the same way?
They continue to pray
and they continue to look
for a miracle,
Their faith stays with them,
It is all that keeps
them alive,
I carried
a 4-year-old boy up here,
He was blind,
What about him, Father?
Who is to tell?
Perhaps God
will not see it fit
to cure his blindness,
but what God will cure is
all sickness of the soul,
That, every person
here can count on,
Except one,
I'm sorry, my son,
I did not hear you,
Oh, nothing, Father,
I was just talking to myself,
Thank you,
( speaking Spanish )
Well, Mr, Rogan,
I didn't know you
were a religious man,
I'm a deeply religious man,
Mr, Melcor,
What about you?
Well, what does it look like?
I'm on my way to pick up
a little miracle,
Stick around,
I'll see you on the way down,
Just look for a guy
wearing a gray suit
and looking properly grateful,
I'll tell you what I will be
looking for, Joe,
I'll be looking
for a two-bit bum,
and he'll be the smallest
thing in the parade,
Anything else, Mr, Rogan?
Yeah, Tell me something,
Don't you feel
a little ashamed?
Vamos, let's move it,
Good morning, my son,
May I help you pray?
Don't trouble yourself, Father,
I can handle this myself,
May God hear your prayers,
my son,
You can count on that, Father,
I want to add something,
Mr, Rogan,
Add something to what?
To the story you were
telling me last night,
You don't have to,
I already know the ending,
That conniving night crawler
you're married to,
in a few minutes,
he's going to walk past here,
and there isn't a bloody thing
I can do about it,
Be walking by himself,
He won't have me alongside,
That's the one thing
I can do about it,
Oh, there's another
thing you can do,
You can sign a deposition,
admitting that there was
nothing wrong with your husband,
and you can state
that you'll testify
to that in court,
No, Mr, Rogan,
I won't do that,
I won't hurt him,
I haven't got
that much courage,
I just won't help him,
I still have that much honor,
( woman speaking Spanish )
( onlookers react joyfully )
( speaking Spanish )
iGracias, Dios mรญo!
iGracias!
He makes the lame to walk
and the blind to see,
Hijo,
Hey, Father,
Look,
Here's a--
here's a little token
of my appreciation,
Don't look so surprised, you'll
give the place a bad name,
( music playing )
( Joe screaming )
JOE: Help me,
Somebody please help me,
Help me, somebody, please,
Joe, what's the matter?
( gasps )
JOE: Help me,
Somebody,,,
help me,
I can't see, I can't see,
I can't see,
I can't see,
Help me,
Somebody please help me,
I can't see,
I can't see,
Somebody please help me,
I can't see,
A bit of gossamer and lace,
as befits a beautiful woman,
Fragile and ephemeral,
in keeping with the soft mystery
of the female,
But to the gentleman
amongst you,
like all your
male predecessors
since the beginning of time,
have been mystified and miffed
by a female counterpart,
This one is for you,
A beautiful lady
in a strange house
also inhabited,
alas, by "The Ghost
of Sorworth Place,"
Oh, good afternoon,
I think I'm lost,
You're at Sorworth Place,
Sorworth?
I meant to be in Drymen,
I don't think Sorworth
is even on this map,
MRS, DUCKER:
Got no need to be,
Anybody comes here knows
where it is to begin with,
ANN: Who's out there,
Mrs, Ducker?
It's a gentleman out on a walk,
Got himself lost, ma'am,
Good evening,
How do you do?
- You've gone astray, then?
- Yes,
There's supposed to be a bed
waiting for me in Drymen,
Oh, it'll go unslept-in
tonight,
You'd have to run like the wind
to reach Drymen
before twelve struck,
Oh, well,
Is there any place around here
I could put up for the night?
A hotel,
or an inn, or a pub?
There's the King's Arms
in Sorworth town itself,
Will I have to run
like the wind?
Walk with a purpose,
keeping Sorworth Water to
your left the whole distance,
you should be there in time
for two nips and your dinner,
If you'll excuse me,
Mrs, Loring,
I've set out your tea for you,
and you know
darkness is coming on,
You know that Tom Ducker,
he always want me home
before dark,
Of course,
Good night, Mrs, Ducker,
Good night, Mrs, Loring,
Good night, sir,
Well, good night,
Good night,
- Mrs, Loring?
- That's right,
I'm Ralph Burke,
From America?
Yeah,
You guessed,
Well, I guessed
it wasn't from Glasgow,
Well, it certainly is
a wonderful old place, I have,,,
If you cut it too fine,
Mr, Burke,
you'll lose yourself again,
and I wouldn't want
it on my conscience
if you ended up drowned
in Sorworth Water,
Sure,
Well, nice meeting you,
Mrs, Loring,
Thanks for getting
me turned around right,
Bye,
Good night,
- Good morning, sir,
- Good morning, Good morning,
Did you find your
bed to your liking?
Yes, I did indeed,
Thank you for everything,
Mr, MacLeod,
I didnae ken that you were
acquainted
with Mrs, Loring, sir,
- Well, I'm not,
- You're not?
No, I only met her
yesterday afternoon,
- Why? What made you think,,,
- I beg your pardon,
I'm sure, sir, but
when she stopped by here
- a wee bit earlier,,,
- She was here? How long,,,
Well, she'll have gone back
to Sorworth Place by now, sir,
Her shopping bag was full,
and she left a letter off,
- Letter?
- Um, yes,
Right here, sir,
Thank you,
ANN: Mr, Burke,
if the demands upon your time
do not forbid it,
I should be pleased
to give you tea this
afternoon at half-past four,
Ann Loring,
Mr, MacLeod,
what can you tell me
about Mrs, Loring?
Nothing, sir, that,,,
wouldnae break your heart
in the telling,
- Well?
- Well, sir?
RALPH: About Mrs, Loring
and Mr, Loring?
She's, um,
she's a widow, sir,
- Oh,
- About, uh,,,
about a year, sir,
Well, how did her husband die?
It's, um,,,
it's opening time, sir,
Your good health, sir,
Thank you,
They gave out that it was
the drink that destroyed him,
And many's the time
I've had to send him home
from here in the dogcart
with boots driving him,
But it was never
the drink, sir,
It was the evil,
and I'd take an oath on that
in any court in the land,
- The evil?
- Oh, yes,
In those days there were
servants up at the hall;
cooks, butlers, parlor maids,
And there were talks
about his doing,
his drinkings,
his smashings,
And there he was, sir,
with a bride
that was the beauty
of the county,
And was he satisfied?
Oh, no,
Not Alistair Loring, not he,
There was not a chambermaid
in the whole of Sorworth Place,
that wasn't expected
to obey the master,
and obey him in any way
that took his fancy,
And there were whispers
about those fancies of his
that were a disgrace to all
the lairds of Sorworth
that ever lived,
And he beat her, sir,
He beat her until
they could hear her cries
down to the gardener's cottage,
Why did she stay?
Why did she stay indeed?
Why does she stay there now?
You've seen Sorworth Place,
Only from the outside,
You'll do yourself no favor
by seeing the inside,
Oh, it's cold, sir,
It's cold and clammy
like a grave,
There's hardly a bench
to sit on
or a lump of coal
to light a fire with,
When he died,
the creditors came,
When they moved on,
they left an empty shell
behind them,
Why does she stay there now
when she could have the pick
of the countryside
if she wanted it?
Like another drink?
No, No, thanks,
One's my limit,
Is this what brought me
to Sorworth?
It was something,
It wasn't me,
Was it you, Ann Loring?
Oh, if everything is to
your satisfaction, ma'am,
and with the darkness
coming on,
and you know how Tom Ducker is,
Thank you, Mrs, Ducker,
Good night,
Good night, ma'am,
- Night, sir,
- Night,
Milk and sugar, Mr, Burke?
Yes, please,
He sounds like quite a worrier,
this Tom Ducker,
Oh, it's Mrs, Ducker
who's the worrier,
She won't let the sun
set on Sorworth Place
with her still here,
Oh?
What's she afraid of?
Me, I think,
Oh, is this too strong
for you?
No, It looks--looks just fine,
Afraid of you, why?
She's rather got the idea
that I killed my husband,
Seriously?
Oh, she's quite serious,
She's got it a little
backwards, hasn't she?
According to
Mr, MacLeod at the inn,,,
Oh, what's he been
telling you, Mr, Burke?
Not very much, honestly,
It's about Alistair,
I expect?
Well, I'm sure it
was all an exaggeration,
Oh, I shouldn't think so,
Quite the reverse, probably,
You see,
my husband was landed gentry,
and Mr, MacLeod's
great-grandfather
was the third
Duke of Sorworth's steward,
so he'd naturally prefer
to represent Alistair
in as favorable
a light as possible,
Well, he did a lousy
job of it,
if you don't mind
my saying so, Mrs, Loring,
He said Mr, Loring,,,
Mr, Burke, would you mind?
Sorworth Place is tumbling
around my ears, I'm afraid,
Is there anything
the matter, Mr, Burke?
Hmm?
No,
I'm all right,
You've gone positively
white, Mr, Burke,
Oh, do sit down,
- I'll fetch you some brandy,
- No, no, no,
No, thanks,
I'm all right,
Brandy would only lay me out,
Mrs, Loring,
do you live here alone?
Oh,
Well, when stouthearted
Mrs, Ducker flees at dusk,
I have no company
here at Sorworth,
except of course for all
the ghosts of the Lorings
who were ever born
or whoever died here,
Why do you ask?
Nothing,
One could almost believe
there were ghosts in this place,
Oh, indeed you could,
Mr, Burke,
Almost,
Hello, Mrs, Ducker,
Well, here I am again,
Mr, Burke, could I
have a word with you?
Mrs, Loring is expecting me,
Uh, please,
Well?
Not here,
Is anything wrong?
You've been here for the best
part of a week, Mr, Burke,
Your friends in Drymen,
won't they be wondering
where you are?
Don't worry about me,
Mrs, Ducker,
There's nobody waiting
for me in Drymen,
There's nobody waiting for me
anywhere
in the whole wide world,
Oh, yes, there is, sir,
Really? Who?
Take my advice, Mr, Burke,
From one who've seen
the blackness of evil
descend on this house,
go to Drymen before you get
caught up in it yourself,
Mrs, Ducker, what the hell
are you talking about?
I'm talking about the one
in there waiting for you,
That's hardly any way
to talk about one's employer,
My employer,
Mr, Burke, is Alistair Loring,
the Seventh Duke of Sorworth,
Oh, really?
Well, I hope
I'm here next payday,
I'd like to see him
hand over your salary,
Please,
You wouldn't be so quick
to make the jokes, Mr, Burke,
if you've seen what
I've seen in this house,
Aye, and you'd have a little bit
more understanding
why you'll never catch me here
when darkness is coming on,
Just exactly what
have you seen, Mrs, Ducker?
The master, that's who,
Lying dead and broken
at the bottom
of the stairs in there,
and herself with the look
of a sorceress upon her,
standing there at the top,
Are you trying to tell me
that Mrs, Loring,,,
What was he doing there,
may I ask?
He was so deathly ill,
so wasted with sickness,
He was like a skeleton,
What was he doing there
at the bottom of the stairs
dressed in his clothes?
Dressed?
Aye, and his hair was tweezed
with the patches on his elbow,
as if he was going out
for a day's hunting,
ANN: Ralph,
You're here,
Yes,
I'm so glad to see you,
Shall we go and have some tea?
ANN: What is it?
Oh, nothing,
Well, how about that tea?
Of course,
Get rid of that Mrs, Ducker,
Short of burning Sorworth
Place to the ground,
I really can't see
how I'd do it,
She was devoted to my husband,
I believe she really thinks
of herself as the rightful heir
to the family fortune,
what's become of it,
Sometimes I'm tempted
to hand her the keys
and run until I reach Glasgow,
Why don't you, Ann?
Why do you stay here?
Why did you come here?
Drymen's miles to the south,
I lost my way,
Or found it,
Have you wondered
at all these past days
why I asked a stranger to tea?
Have you wondered
why you accepted?
When a lovely lady
sends me an invitation,
I'm not about to go
for a hike over the moors,
But, okay, why did you
ask a stranger to tea?
When I saw you standing
there that day,
I heard a voice,
It was my voice,
It said, "This is the one,
This is the one to do it,
perhaps,"
- To do what?
- To protect me,
- From what?
- From my husband,
But he's dead, Ann,
Yes, quite,
He's dead, and I'm
in deadly fear of him,
( thudding )
You've seen him,
haven't you?
What? Who?
Alistair,
You've seen him, I could tell,
I don't know
what you're talking about,
Tell me,
Tell me what you've seen,
What did he look like?
Was he a skeleton of a man
in a tweed suit
with patches on the elbows?
It's almost a year
since he died,
and in the past fortnight,
I've begun to see him, too,
Ann, these,,,
these things just don't happen,
Yes,
Now I'm sure of it,
You are the one,
Let me tell you,
He lay at the foot
of the stairs,
The foot of the stairs?
It was our first wedding
anniversary,
How did he get there?
I poured his medicine
down the drain,
and he needed it
to keep his filthy body alive,
And he knew the nearest
place he could get it
was the chemist in Sorworth,
We're on the telephone,
you see,
so he dragged
himself out of bed,
flung on a suit of clothes,
He was cursing me
all the while,
Why did you do it?
Because I could no longer
stand his vile tongue
and his scornful talk,
or the humiliation
of his hands on me,
tearing at my clothes
and then leaving me
in my nakedness to go
to the servants' hall
and have his way
with the scullions,
He called me cold,
cold as the stones
in the ancestral burial ground,
and he swore that only a corpse
could have love out of me,
And as the sickness worsened,
so did the foulness
of his accusations,
until at last I knew
that one of us must die
before another day came,
And if it wasn't to be me,
then it had to be him,
and that's why I did it,
What happened?
He lasted as far
as the stairway,
and there he sprawled
and down he went,
and there he lay,
Dead?
But what was left in him,
he looked up
at me and he said,
"You think you've won free,
Well, you're wrong,
In a years' time, I'll return,
and I'll celebrate
our second wedding anniversary,"
And then he was dead,
It's tonight,
What's tonight?
The anniversary
of our wedding,
He's back already,
We've both seen him,
But he hasn't come for me yet,
- He will tonight,
- To do what?
That's what I don't know,
and why I'm frightened,
And why I need you,
What can I do?
Keep him from me tonight,
Get between us,
I have a feeling that
if tonight can pass
without him reaching me,
then he'll stay
in his grave forever,
Can you do that, Ralph?
Can you battle
my ghost for me?
It has to be an outsider,
I couldn't trust my story
and my life to a local,
Having met Mrs, Ducker,
you can understand why, surely,
Yes,
I've waited 12 months
for that special someone
to arrive in Sorworth,
and when I saw you standing
at the door that day
with your haversack
and the look
of the wanderer about you,
I had the wild feeling
that it could be you,
You were right, Ann,
And you were right
about the other, too,
I didn't lose my way,
I found it,
I'll bury your ghost
for you, Ann,
Maybe,,,
because, you see, I have
some ghosts of my own as well,
Maybe I'll bury mine
in the same grave,
When they're back in the ground
where they belong,
we're free of them forever,
then maybe,,,
And now I'll tell you
the final thing,
and you'll take your hat
in your hand
and slam the door behind you
and be done with me
forever as well,
There's no love in me,
not for a tree,
nor a blade of grass,
nor man, nor beast,
nor any other thing
that breathes God's air,
That's what turned Alistair
against me from the start,
and what sent him
to the servants' quarters
the whole year we were wed,
I did the duties of a wife
on our wedding night,
but when that was done,
he never touched me again,
There can be nothing
between us, Ralph, as it is,
And if your ghosts need that
to send them to their rest,
we'll be making a bad bargain
for yourself,
One ghost at a time, okay?
We'll deal with yours tonight,
Tomorrow, well,,,
we'll let tomorrow
take care of itself,
Now we've got work to do,
Where is your bedroom, Ann?
Ann, what do you take me for?
I'm going to stand guard duty
outside your door,
It's the far end
of the second story on the left,
I'll wait down here,
When you've locked yourself in,
I'll come up,
Shall I put a chair
outside, then?
And risk me falling asleep?
No,
I'll walk guard duty
until daylight,
Good night, Ann,
Good night,
( window banging )
Get back in your grave,
you lousy corpse,
You're not getting
in here tonight,
How the devil did you get--?
- What are you doing here?
- I don't know,
I don't know
what I'm doing here,
I must have wandered
around to escape,
No, no, Ann,
He's out there,
Go on back up
and lock your door, quickly,
Take this, Hurry,
Hurry,
No, no!
How many times
do you need to be buried?
My friend, you'll soon be as
dead as you're supposed to be!
( Ralph screaming )
( bell chimes )
He's gone, Ann,
Midnight's past,
and he's gone for good,
You're free of him forever,
Ralph,
You left your door
unlocked, Ann,
and you went down
to unlock the front door,
But then you said you could
never love anything alive,
Come to me, my Ralph,
In a year,
In a year I'll come to you,,,
my Ann,
