Mr. District Attorney - The Murder Syndicate

At a service station on the outskirts of the city, two men pull up in a car at closing time. The station attendant, Mr. Wade, says "Sorry fellows, but I'm just closing for the night". One of the men says "We need some gas". Wade says "Sorry, I've already locked the pumps. There's an all-night place about two blocks up. It's a big truck stop, you can't miss it." The first man says to the second "Did you hear that Fred?" Fred says "Yeah Vinnie, I heard it. The man don't want to wait on us, Fred". Wade says "I didn't say that. I said I was closed". Fred says "He's laughing at us, Vinnie. He thinks it's funny that he don't want to wait on us". Wade says "There's no point in getting out of the car. I'm not going to wait on you". Vinnie says "Hear that, Fred? He's a real nasty guy". Fred says "Yeah, no wonder his wife don't like him". Wade says "What's that supposed to mean?" Vinnie says "You know, Fred, this guy ain't very bright". Fred says "Yeah, maybe his wife never told him. Maybe she didn't want to hurt his feelings". Wade says "What are you guys up to?" Suddenly, they grab Wade and force him back into the station. He says "If this is a stick-up, you guys are out of luck. All the money is in the safe and the day man has the keys". Vinnie says "He thinks it's a hold-up, Fred". Fred says "I don't know why, Vinnie. You got a nice, honest face". Vinnie says "No, it's like his wife said. He's a dope. Wade says "What is this, some kind of a gag Estelle is pulling?" Fred says "Oh, no Mr. Wade, it's not a gag. Did you think it was a gag when she took out the insurance policy on you last year?"
