Play Misty for Me

Hey, hey, you're digging

the master jock for solid rock...

...Sweet Al Monte blasting, babies.

Being bold and pouring coal on KRML

in quaint little Carmel-by-the-Sea.

We're next door to magnificent Monterey,

home of the annual jazz festival.

Although it's four months away,

you got to get your tickets...

...because they're going fast

and it can't last.

The time is 7:
54

and there's a breeze of 50 degrees...

...around your loving hips,

and there's a taste of fog.

I say we got a bowl of soul,

and if you think your heart can take it...

...come fly higher with The Heavy!

Now we're gonna wrap it up

for the week, folks.

A brand-new release from the funk capital

of the world, Squeeze Me.

Here he comes, the big "D" himself,

Dave Garver.

And Dave is gonna bring you

five hours of mellow groove.

In the meantime,

this is Sweet Al Monte saying:

"Hang in there, babies, because everything

is going to be everything."

'Bye.

What's that letter you got there?

Is that that Frisco gig?

Yeah.

All right, so what's happening?

They want the usual thing:

A biography, pictures.

Really? Is that that Madge Brenner chick?

Yeah, she's the one putting it together.

In that case, David, you're in.

How do you figure that?

Now, David, come on, man.

Are you kidding?

She's a grandmother.

So when did that ever stop you?

You better get a move on.

I already played your theme.

Yeah, I heard it.

You're a real human being.

And you're on the air, baby.

All right.

"Men have destroyed the roads of wonder

"And their cities squat like black toads

"In the orchards of life

nothing is clean or real

"Or as a girl, naked to love

or be a man with"

This is Dave Garver with a little verse,

a little talk...

...and five hours of music

to be very, very nice to each other by.

- KRML, Dave Garver speaking.

- Hello?

- Hi, what'll it be?

- Play Misty for me.

Misty?

We have that right on the play rack.

Thanks for calling.

I see you got your little Misty chick

calling you again. All righty.

- Swing along.

- You take it easy now.

See you in the a.m.

KRML, Dave Garver.

- Hi, Murphy.

- Hi, Dave. No messages for you.

- No?

- Heard your show tonight.

It sure beats hell out

of working for a living.

- Thanks for the plug.

- What are friends for?

- Bartender.

- Coke? Coming right up.

She's waiting for someone.

You sure?

That's what she says.

Guys have been striking out all night.

One game?

- Cry Bastion?

- What else?

Okay, coach. You asked for it.

Don't take all night. Move.

Okay.

Move.

Palfrey's Gambit.

Dirty rat.

Are we playing Copenhagen rules?

Make it easy on yourself, Murph.

Cry Bastion.

Sorry, no Bastion.

Damn, I didn't see that.

It's too bad, Murphy. Too bad.

- Careful now.

- That ought to do it.

Be really careful now.

Careful.

Hi.

He doesn't see it.

Yeah?

Cry Bastion.

Fool's ploy, my man. Fool's ploy.

Care to play the winner?

I'll just watch.

- My name is Dave Garver.

- Evelyn Draper.

Sit down, Evelyn Draper?

Care for a drink?

Okay.

- What'll it be?

- Surprise me.

- Screwdriver.

- Nice game.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

- What happened?

- I won.

How? When?

When you said, "Okay."

I ought to be mad.

But you're not.

Not really.

It certainly was nice of you

to bring me home, Mr. Garver?

That's right.

I don't think I've been stood up on a date

since the ninth grade back in Albany.

Is something wrong?

No, I keep getting the feeling

I know you from someplace.

- You do?

- Yeah.

Here. Why don't you let me do that?

Oh, no. That's all right. I've got it.

Why don't you see

if you can get the fire started?

All right.

There are some matches right next to it.

All right.

It's getting late.

You're sure I'm not keeping you up?

No. I rarely get to bed before 3:00 a.m.

I didn't have a date tonight.

I went there because you talk about it

on your program sometimes...

...and I wanted to meet you.

I listen to you all the time.

I knew somebody was out there.

- You're making fun of me.

- No, I'm not.

- Say something else.

- Such as?

Play Misty for me?

Very good.

- You sure I'm not keeping you up?

- Don't you like me?

You're a very nice girl.

But who needs nice girls?

No, I like them.

I'm kind of hung up on one.

And you don't want to complicate your life.

- That's exactly right.

- Neither do I.

But that's no reason we shouldn't

sleep together tonight if we feel like it.

Solid silicone.

Hi, David, my man! How you been, baby?

See you got the joint cleaned up for once.

The Heavy digs it.

- Care for a beer?

- Not really.

I could go for something more uplifting,

but not a brew, my man.

Beer is all we've got.

You're gonna have to ease on out.

I got a lot of work to do today.

You don't understand.

I've been sent here to get you.

By whom?

That old chick I go with. What's her name?

- Carol?

- That's the one.

Girl thinks you've been working too hard.

She said we should get together tonight.

Who's this "we"?

Me, you, her and one of them hens

that you can dig up.

There is a fantastic new Mexican place

in Carmel called Susinos.

The albndigas soup is unbelievable.

It is a mind-bender...

I know the joint, but I don't have a date,

and I got a lot to do.

Big deal, man. Get one!

If you have any problems getting one,

I'll get one for you as nice as I look.

It's too late, and besides,

I've got a lot of work to do.

But you gotta eat, David.

I'm gonna whip up something

here in my own kitchen.

You know, David,

I'm really worried about your social life.

You'll make someone

a tremendous mother.

Too narrow in the pelvis.

I sure appreciate you dropping by, Al.

Come by again sometime, anytime.

Never let it be said

that Sweet Al Monte can't take a hint.

- Who's hinting?

- Hi.

Why, hi there, yourself.

Dave Garver live here?

That depends on your point of view.

Hi.

This stuff weighs a ton.

Where's the kitchen?

Right inside.

Just come on in and help yourself.

Swing right around the bend there.

I know, David, she's from Chicken Delight.

Look, don't work too hard, my man.

Don't strain yourself.

How come you don't have any beer?

And what is this? A shrunken head?

Does that guy live here?

- I wanted...

- I hope you like steak.

- You look like a steak-and-potatoes type.

- Hang on.

I said to myself,

a nice salad with Roquefort and tomatoes...

...and baked potato with...

- What's going on here?

- Don't send me away.

- No, I want to ask you a question.

I just wanted to surprise you.

Surprise?

What happens if he and I

had been talking business?

Or maybe I have female company

and you come traipsing in with groceries?

That would be some surprise.

I'm sorry.

Keep that stuff.

I think I've lost my appetite.

Hang on a minute.

I'm just trying to tell you something.

I don't understand.

Should I go or stay? What?

I'm telling you there's a telephone,

and I pick it up and I dial it.

You answer and I say,

"What are you doing?"

And I say, "I'll be right over."
