It is a gift when somebody triggers you. I'm just gonna say it the way it should be said.  Today, we're gonna talk about how to not be hurt by other people's opinions and other people's words, even if they are directed directly at you. And the reason why I wanna talk about this is because I get this message a lot on Instagram and I got this message literally last week from somebody and he was talking about how, you know, how do I deal with somebody that says something really, says something really negative to me and it hurts me really bad. And number one, if you're not following me on Instagram, this is a really good reason to follow me on Instagram because this is how I connect with everybody who follows me and I kinda see what you guys are dealing with and I can take podcast episodes from that. So if you don't follow me, Rob Dile Jr., R-O-B-D-I-A-L-J-R. And when we kind of dive into this, there's a couple of things I wanna talk about when we're talking about other people's opinions and other people's, you know, words that they say to you. And when I see something come in a lot and this tends to come in a lot, it goes, you know what? I need to make a podcast episode on this because clearly lots of people happen to be struggling with this thing. And there's a couple of points I wanna go over when we're talking about this. The first thing I wanna tell you before we actually talk about how to deal with people's words, how to deal with their opinions, number one is stop hanging out with people. Just gonna say it the way it should be said.   Stop hanging out with people who find holes in your success. Stop hanging out with people that are not like your ride or dies that want the best for you, that wanna see you succeed, that are happy when you have some sort of success.  They don't deserve to be in your life if they talk down to you in some sort of way. So let me practice everything just by saying that. That's number one. Number two, this is what I'm gonna dive deeper into. No one can hurt you with words that you don't already believe. Let me say that again. Nobody can hurt you with any words that you don't already believe before they say it. I could walk up to you on the street and say so many different things that wouldn't offend you in any sort of way. I could say, hey, I don't like your hair. I don't like the color of your car. I don't like what your voice is really high pitched. I could say things and say things and say things over and over and over again. And they wouldn't offend you. And then if I went long enough, one thing would offend you. Why? Cause you already believe that thing. You believe it. So a good example I've shared on the podcast before which is my favorite example for being hurt by other people and other people's opinions is my friend Ryan was walking down the street with his mentor and he was in his early 20s at the time. This was years ago. He was in his early 20s. Mentors in his 40s. And his mentor was like, hey, man, your business is doing amazing. You've done a couple million dollars in the past year. Like you were young. You're making a ton of money. You must be so happy. And Ryan said, you know what, man, I'm really not. He's like, why are you not happy? And he said, I'm not happy because when I get a customer service email of someone saying that they don't like my product or that something fell apart or that I've read a negative review, he goes, I just want to shut it all down. I just don't want to do it anymore. I just want to shut everything down. It just doesn't make me feel good to read all of the negativity that can come out when you have a business that's doing a lot. And what was happening is he was focusing on the negative versus focusing on the positive, obviously. But his mentor said to him, yeah, it makes sense why you're being so offended and why you don't like it. He said, why? He said, because you're insecure. My friend Ryan is like, I don't know how not enjoying getting negative customer service emails or negative reviews makes me insecure. And he said, let me explain it this way. We're walking down the street right now.  Would you be offended by it? And he goes, no, I wouldn't be offended. He goes, why wouldn't you be offended? He goes, because I don't have pink hair. He said, exactly. Because she's not saying something to you that you believe.  So think about that for a second. No one can hurt you unless they're telling you something. They can't hurt you with words unless you already believe those words. So they can say something. I could say something over all kinds of different things. But as soon as one of them hits an insecurity that you have, boom, that's when it hurts. That's when you take offense to something. No one can say something to you that hurts you unless you already believe it to be true. You cannot be hurt unless you already believe it to be true. Eleanor Roosevelt said, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.  That's the truth. So as pissed off and as hurt as you might be when someone says something to you and it cuts, what's actually happening is that person is giving you a gift.  That person is showing you where you still have work. So if somebody does something to me and I don't have any reaction, I'm not hung up on whatever that thing is. But if somebody does something to me and they get a reaction from me, that is a clear and honest reflection of where I'm still hung up and where I'm still triggered. So some of you listening to this, you have short tempers. Some of you get angry easily. Some of you get emotional very easily. Some of you have issues around money or your parents or you have emotional trauma that maybe you haven't worked through. When that is brought to light, that is when you are triggered, that is when you would hurt, that is when you get angry, that is when you get emotional. That is the perfect mirror for you to go, oh, I still need to work on that. If someone were to come up to me, for instance, years ago and say something about my father, I was so hung up about my father years ago, I probably would have gotten pissed. I probably would have yelled at them. I probably would have tried to get in a fight with them. Why? Because there was still so much emotional trauma and emotional baggage that I had not worked through. I didn't know what was important to work through. Nobody ever told me to work through and I even know how to work through it, right? But now if someone were to come up to me and say something, I'd be like, cool, I don't care what you say to me. I really don't give a, right? So the only reason why I'm not trying to brag about me working through emotional trauma, I don't know if that's like a badge of honor, but I'm not trying to brag about what I'm saying is it's because I've done a lot of work around it. I've talked to therapists, I've done meditations, I've done psychedelics, I've done journaling sessions, I've done so many different things around that to try to get past the places where I'm still hung up. And here's the interesting thing, I'm still hung up around a lot of things.  It's just another thing that you gotta work on, man. So I wanna ask you guys, where is something that you feel like you're still hung up? And why are you still hung up? What do you need to do to get past it? Where are you hung up? Do you get angry? Do you get emotional? What is it that's going on? Do you feel bad about yourself? When someone says something, you talk down to yourself, right? And the thing about it is, it's life showing you where you need to work on yourself even more. It is a gift when somebody triggers you. Yes, you heard me right. When somebody triggers you, it is a gift because it is showing you in real time where you need to work.  I can't wait till I'm past all of my traumas, so I'm past all these things. You can start to work through them, but I don't know if you'll ever get past everything in the short life that we have here, right? Life is a constant up-leveling of growth. Life is a constant up-leveling of growth. And it never stops. It's just a new level and a new level and a new level. And one of the things that people who are newer in personal development always think is like, what do I need to do to finally be done with personal development?  You might probably never be done. And so the first thing is, when you know that you probably will never be done, you can release the need to be finished. You can release the need to go, oh, I have to be done with this personal growth. I have to be done with this trauma, these things that I've been through. You might never be done with that. And when you release the feeling of I have to be done with it, it makes it so much easier because you're like, you know what?  There are going to be certain issues where I am going to be like, ah, yep, Rob, you still need to work on yourself more. And instead of me looking at that, now here's what normally happens. When you become aware of, this is the typical downfall that most people have, is number one, you're completely unaware of the emotional traumas and triggers and stuff that you have and they can send you off the hinges. Then you start to work on yourself and you become aware of the things that make you emotional. Or let's just say it's emotional as an example, right, the trigger. You can become aware of the things that trigger you. Now I know what triggers me but it doesn't not trigger me anymore. So what a lot of people tend to do is they will be triggered once they find out about their triggering and then they'll have some form of guilt or shame or judgment on top of it. So now they not only have identified a trigger that's already making them feel bad but now they're even more mad at themselves for having that trigger, which is the worst thing that you can do. It's like pouring salts on top of a wound.  No, what you need to do is you need to notice it and be removed from it. Okay, that is something that I need to work through. What is it that I can do to work through that? Okay, I'm still hung up around my father's death. Let's say that's the example, right? Still hung up around my father's death. What is it that I'm still hung up around? I take out a pen and paper, I start asking myself questions as if I'm really trying to work through this, right? Don't work things out in your head. When things are in your head they're abstract. Put them on a piece of paper. You've heard me say this over and over and over again.  Okay, I was triggered by something and it was around my father's death. What am I still hung up around? Why am I still hung up around it? What do I need to do to work past it, right? What am I still hung up around? Why am I still hung up around it and what do I need to do to work past it?  I've got a way to actually work through this the next time it comes up because I guarantee it's gonna come up. That's just the way that it goes. And if it's gonna come up over and over again, I might as well come up with a legitimate game plan to help myself out next time it does so that I don't get triggered as much or that therefore when I am triggered next time, I don't get mad or sad or throw guilt or shame or anything like that on top of how I'm currently feeling. So you're never gonna be perfect. You're never gonna just, the game of life in person development and self-mastery, it never ends, right? You'll never get to a point where you have no flaws. You'll never get to a point where you have no baggage. You'll never get to a point most likely that you have no triggers. You'll never get to a point where you'll never be offended. You'll never get to a point where you don't have a temper or you don't have emotion. You'll never get to a point where you're just perfectly calm at all times, even in the middle of a tornado, right? That's okay. That's life. That's the beauty of it. And when you stop trying to control everything and you start going, it's just a journey, right? There is, everyone's like, I just wanna be done with this. No, it's not about being done. It's about enjoying the journey as corny as the phrase is. I understand, cliches are cliches because cliches are true, right? As corny as it might seem as, oh my gosh, it's about the journey, not the destination. It truly is. It's about going, I'm never possibly gonna be done with these emotional triggers or these traumas, these things that I'm working through. But working through them and getting better is at least making me proud of the progress that I've had. Cause if you look back in the rear view mirror, you've been through a lot of stuff. And you've also worked through a lot of stuff. And you've come a long way. And guess what? If you just continue to keep trying to get better and trying to get better, you will look back in five years and go, oh my gosh, over the past five years, I've done so much myself. And you'll be proud of what you've done. And that's important for you to realize. Now, if we're talking about this, another thing that's just a side note around this that I wanna bring up in this episode. Everybody, please be very careful who you're taking advice from. Be very careful of who, like if you wanna start a business and your mom is like, that's not a good idea, honey. And she places her limiting beliefs on top of you in what you're trying to do with your life. It's not a good thing, right? If you wanna start a business, but your mom has never been a business owner, is she the best person to really take advice from, right? Or if you have this amazing idea for this product that you wanna invent and your friends have never invented a product, but they tell you how stupid it is or how bad of an idea it is, are they really the best people to be taking advice from? Like I'll give you a perfect example. I love my mom. I would never ask my mom for advice on how to grow an Instagram account. Why?  Like if I'm taking it and making this in layman's term as much as possible, my mom's never used Instagram in her entire life. Would it be smart for her to go out, me to go her and go, mom, I wanna grow my Instagram account. Can you give me some of your secrets? No, because she's never done it. So why would I take advice from somebody who has never done things that I wanna do? Why would you take advice from your friends about this invention that you really love when they've never been an inventor? Why would you take advice from your parents or your other friends or your brother, sister, well, whoever might be around you on this business that you wanna start when they've never even started a business? Like it's absolutely bonkers for me to think that people hold themselves back from the life that they want simply because people that have never done what they want to do tell them that they shouldn't do the thing they wanna do. None of that makes any sense. If you actually take your head out, you let yourself out of the situation and look at it, right? How many of you are not starting a business because your mom or dad or friends are saying that it's a terrible idea? Yet, they've never started a successful business. Okay, think about that for a second. Would you take advice from a millionaire on how to become a millionaire? Would you take advice, let me say this again, would you take advice from someone who wants, let me try to get this right, would you take advice on how to become a millionaire from anybody other than a millionaire? I sure hope not, but I will tell you this, there's a lot of broke people that wanna give money advice. There's a lot of people that wanna get business advice that have never run a business or they've run a lot of very unsuccessful businesses. So people love to give advice, but you just gotta be very clear of who you're taking advice from, right? So that's a side note I wanna bring up. But the most important thing I want you guys to realize is that no one can hurt you with words unless you already believe those words and you're insecure around them. As Eleanor Roosevelt said, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. So next time you're triggered, see it as a gift, see it as something that that person has given you, the universe has given you, God, whatever it is that you believe in has given you to show you where you're still hung up and where you still need to put in the work. Because ultimately, in my opinion, that's all we're actually here to do, to learn, to grow, and to improve. Hey, thanks so much for watching this video.

I resent the fact that you're telling people that while she twerks, I didn't have to twerk my behind. I'm a professional woman and an accomplished woman and can respect me. It doesn't matter. Oh no, it doesn't matter. Oh, hold up.   If you complain because you have to pay for your child to be raised and you say it's because the women tricked you into it, you're weak. What I'm going to tell you is you've already been divorced. You're already not having a man as a husband. By that definition, you've already been a statistic. You've already put your man through it and I would advise that man most likely that you are as dangerous as anyone else that has done it.


Hey, this is Brett, and this 2020 Ford F-250 Crew Cab Short Box XL STX is stock number 13819Z. I am here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, your new and used heavy-duty truck. Headquarters this 2020 Ford F-250 has the 6.7 liter power stroke diesel engine that's paired up with a 10-speed automatic transmission, 475 horsepower and 1,050 foot-pounds of torque. I'm going to go all the way around in this video inside underneath. Start it up and take a look under the hood to give you the most accurate representation of the truck possible. Iconic silver is the color. All of our vehicles go through a 130-point inspection process. They get a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids get checked and topped off before being made available to our customers. I shoot all my videos in 4K, and if you like the video, you can subscribe to my YouTube channel, which is youtube.com slash summit auto. Click the bell notifications to get updates on the videos I do each and every day, as well as having access to one of the largest catalogs of vehicle walk-arounds on YouTube. This one comes with the 18-inch painted alloy wheels, and it has Goodyear Wrangler Alternate Adventure tires. These are LT27570R18s, and I would say they have right around half the tread left on them. The frame and underbody is exceptionally clean on this truck. Very little to no corrosion. This is a one-owner clean title history, clean car facts out of Kentucky. Front fenders absolutely perfect. Headlights are nice and clear in the front bumper and lower valence. No dense dings or scuffs or cracks on there. Looks really good. Get the chrome-trimmed grille. Part of that STX appearance package, and the hood is in excellent shape as well. Didn't see any major imperfections on there. Passengers side front fender is absolutely perfect too. And the passengers side front wheel, no scuffs or scrapes on there. Iconic silver is the newest silver from Ford on these Superduties. It's got a lot of small metal flake as opposed to the Inget Silver, which had a little bit more sparkle to it. As you go down this side of this 2020 Ford F-250, take note of how clean that body is, how reflective. And mirror like that paint is, I take these HD videos. So if you are far away or even if you're close by and you just cannot make the trip down but you're still interested in purchasing the truck, you can see the truck, hear the truck, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here. So when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises and you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. If this video helps you make that buying decision, let your salesmen know that you saw the video that was helpful and that Brett sent you back wheels in excellent shape as well. And the back tires actually have looks closer to 60 to 70 percent of the tread left on those tires. You get the plastic wheel well liners, which keeps your frame and underbody looking as good as it can. Has all the remaining factory exhausts looks really nice under there. And this one does come with the factory chrome step bars, which are in really nice condition. FX4 off-road suspension package as you come down the passenger side box looks really good. Rear bumpers in great shape, no dents or dings. And then it does come with the full towing package, which includes a receiver hitch four pin and seven pin wiring. Tailgate is in fantastic condition as well. And you get a very nice line X spray and bed liner back here. I've got the same bed liner on my truck. I love it. Bed liner goes on to the tailgate and that shuts nicely. Going down the driver side just as clean as that passenger side. No major dents or dings on this box. And for full disclosure, this back wheel just as nice as the rest. Cab and doors all look really good on this truck. Down the rest of the side, no dents or dings. Does have the heated telescopic tow mirrors, built in directional signals. They fold in like so and out like that. And they also tell the scope out and in. Inside the XL package gives you the gray cloth bucket seats. 40, 20, 40 split bench seating. No rips or tears on the seats. Driver side lumbar. You get factory floor mats, auto headlamps, tilt, telescopic steering wheel, power windows, locks and mirrors. Take a quick look at the back seats. They are just as clean as the front seats. No rips or tears back here. It does have the latch child safety system for any child car seats, fixed glass rear window with the built in rear defrost. I don't think this truck's ever been smoked in. Smells very clean in here. You get the completely flat floor back here and factory floor mats. Just got to pull that tab to get that seat down. Child safety locks on the back doors and the inside and bottoms of the doors all are in excellent shape. Take a quick look at the tire and loading information sticker as well as the VIN sticker. We'll hop inside, check out the miles, the radio and everything that this truck has to offer on the interior.

You get Ford Pass Connect, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, so you can hook up your cell phone to the screen. This one doesn't have the factory navigation system, but you've got Waze or Google Maps on your phone projected right to the screen. It's like you have nav on the screen. That's pretty sweet. AM FM and Sirius XM radio capabilities, Bluetooth capabilities as well. And then you get your factory exhaust brakes, stability control, downhill assist control there as well. Turned out four wheel drive, factory brake controller, climate controls, USB, USB-C and a 12 volt power point. Another 12 volt power point and 110 volt, 400 watt max plugin. Dual glove boxes, passenger side format and seat are an excellent conditional rips or tears on there. Headliner is in great shape. And you do get six auxiliary upfit switches right there. Map lights. We'll start it up and take a look under the hood. Also, go check out those lights in the front because it appears that somebody has put LEDs. Starts right up, no check engine lights or anything like that, other than my hood's open. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today.

The Mutual Broadcasting System presents Murder by Experts. With your host and narrator, Mr. John Dixon Carr, world-famous mystery novelist and author of the recently published Best Seller, The Life of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Good evening. This is John Dixon Carr. Each week at this time, Murder by Experts brings you a story of crime and mystery which has been chosen for your approval by one of the world's leading detective writers. Tonight our guest expert is the noted mystery writer, Elisa Lipsky. From the many fillers he has read and enjoyed, Mr. Lipsky has selected a fast-moving sardonic story by Joseph Roscoe. And now we present Kenneth Lynch in Dig Your Own Grains. Harry Green, answer the question. Did you or did you not kill your wife? Yes or no? Yes or no? Yes or no? That's a good one. How can I answer it like that, just plain yes or no? I've been wondering myself, who was the killer, me or that crazy suspicious mind of hers? My wife was a very strange woman, and I want to get you inside that mind of hers. You'll know then just how it is that a wife could dig her own grave. I swear I was always true to Hannah. It's important you understand that. Up to this incident, I never even looked at another woman. She'd never believe me, though, never. You don't fool me, Eric. You were quite a lady killer when I met you, and men don't change their spots. When she met me, but what the years it slapped me down to, a time when a nagging wife, all the jobs she'd cost me, all the future with her suspicions. Don't lie, Eric, you're clumsy at it. My mind works faster than yours. There's a woman in your life somewhere. She was driving me crazy. She didn't trust me. Why should I trust you?  I won't be satisfied until I've found that other woman you're playing around with.  I swear there was never any other woman, up till that time. Then one day suddenly, through a silly circumstance, Hannah got the wild notion she'd at last discovered who her rival was. It's that young Betty Sheep, that little actress who lives across the street. But, Hannah... Don't lie. I saw it with my own eyes, didn't I? You mean about the dog just now? Yes, about the dog just now. But I can explain that if you'll only listen... You can explain everything, can't you, Eric?  Hannah, for heaven's sake, where are you going? I'm going across the street to scratch her eyes out. Hannah, you'll disgrace us before the neighbors. I swear I don't even know the lady. Hannah... Hannah... I want you to leave my husband alone. What? What are you talking about? You didn't pretend, Miss Sheep. I can read through you and him both. I'm Mrs. Hannah Green, as you no doubt suspect. Get out of here. Get out of here at once or I'll call the police. You wouldn't dare. You're out of your mind. I don't know your husband and I don't know you. Who's met you? You're type, I mean.  Miss Heath? Yes? Pardon me, you don't know me. I live in the apartment house across the street. I came to apologize for something that happened here the other day. Apologize for what? My name is Eric Green. Eric Green? Oh. So you're that madwoman's husband? My wife is very neurotic, Miss Heath. But why is she come barging in here? I'm not gave her the idea that I... I mean that... Well, I was standing outside my apartment house and the dog came up to me. It seemed lost, so I kind of walked it, wondering who it was. Hannah saw me and recognized the dog as yours, Miss Heath. Oh, so you're the one who found it. So that's why you're one... I see. So I gave it to you, a doorman. Oh, thank you, Mr. Green. That was kind of you. Yes. Well, you see, that's how it was. She thought all kinds of things, you know? Yes, I can imagine. Well, that's all I came to say. Uh, goodbye. Goodbye. I guess I... It was awfully nice of you. Sorry, I... No, no, no, no. I interrupted you. I just wanted you to... I'm sorry. You saw my fault. I don't know why I've been keeping you standing here at the door.  I'd love to. That's how it all began. For eight years, I hadn't looked at another woman. Then fate and the guise of an unwitting Hannah had introduced me to Betty Heath. It became a secret love that never would have been born if the twisted mind of a jealous wife hadn't conjured it out of thin air. I missed the next three Saturday night poker sessions. Eric, it's nice here. I like this place. Yes, it's sort of our place. I was never here with anyone else. Eric, what did you do with your Saturday night before? Oh, I don't know, poker or all night movie to forget I ever lived. No, don't talk that way. Betty, how do you feel about it? About what? Us. Are you scared or anything? Oh, well, I got to be scared of ours. My goodness, I simply felt sorry for you that first day I saw you.  Well, I knew you needed a friend.  Funny thing. Right now, I don't think Hanna even suspects I do know you. Well, she certainly was suspicious today. She stormed up to my apartment. Why the change? Search me. She hasn't said one word about it since then. I think when she came charging up to your apartment that day she expected to see some wild painted carousel of glamorous actresses. But instead, she sees a sweet innocent kid and gets thrown for a loss. You kind of threw me for a loss too, Betty, going for a guy like me. Why not? Eric, I let you in on a little secret. I'm a fake. I've no acting talent whatsoever. Oh, Betty. We can't get jobs. I'll never get anywhere. What I really want is to get married. Married? Yeah. There was a very nice fellow named Tommy Burt. He asked me to marry him. Why didn't you? I don't know. Met a married man. Name of Eric Green. Isn't that funny? Yes, that's how it all began. A drink, we talked, saw each other a few times, and we were in love. We didn't talk too much about Hannah, not at first. She was always there, the third point on the triangle. The longer Betty and I went on seeing each other, the more she crowded into my thoughts. Until the day came, it had to happen. Eric, it can't go on. It's got to stop. I'm much too much in love with her. Vice versa. Head over heels. It's not as though you're free, Eric. Don't you see it? It's not as though you were even ready to get a divorce.  Bond and tight. And pity. All right, then I'll get somebody to pity me a little. There's still Tommy Bird. No, Eric, don't. Don't tell me. We must never see each other again. Eric, why are you sitting there so moody? Please, Hannah. I have an apology to make, Eric, dear. Yes. Oh, Eric, I must be a trial to you sometimes. But it's only because I love you. What are you driving at? Oh. That dog thing that time. That dog thing? Yes, you remember? Well, I later asked the doorman there and he said the dog was lost that day and you merely brought it back. So you checked with the doorman, huh? Oh, Eric wasn't it silly of me to think you were carrying on with that cute girl. Whom you didn't even know from ease. But I do. What? Very well. What's that? Betty and I are in love, Hannah. What? And it was all you're doing, poetic justice. Because we never even knew each other until then. Why, you... You're lying. I was right in the first place. It had been going on all the time, just as I said. Have it your own way. I could always read you, Eric. Read you like a book. You're sure of that? I knew it was that cheap actress. I knew it because I'm always one step ahead of you, Mr. Two-Timer. You're not dealing with just anyone. You're dealing with a lawyer's daughter.  Never will be. Well? What now? I want a divorce. Oh, never. You think I'd give her the satisfaction? I want a divorce, Hannah. Oh, Eric, how could you say all these things to me? How could you? You did it to yourself, Hannah. Crazy jealousy of yours. Oh! I tell you, I never did know her before. You promoted a triangle that never even existed.  Why did you say that? Those words. What words? Dig your own grave. Those are the words that woman has said. I only meant... I see it now. Of course! But I'm one step ahead of you, usual.  What? Murder you? Yes! Murder me! So you'll be free to marry her. Well, don't deny it.  That was the seed. I'm telling the honest truth. Till then, the thought has positively never entered my mind in the remotest way whatsoever. Harm Hannah, why I pitied her. Even still loved her, in a way. But somehow... Yes. Kill me.  Kill me. I know. She planted the seed in my mind.  She planted the seed. Young and pretty, eh? That's the way you want one when I'm out of the way. She hammered the thought into my brain. Always know what's in your mind, don't I? It'd be heaven, wouldn't it? Heaven, wouldn't it, when I'm dead? Good heaven, stop it, stop it, Hannah! Can't stand to hear your thoughts spoken aloud, can you? You don't fool me, Eric Green. I'm sharp enough to even see how you intend to murder me. I can give you a blueprint. What? I congratulate you on planning the perfect murder. I didn't know you had enough brains. What are you talking about? What blueprint? Oh, don't pretend. I'm onto you. You will never outsmart me. I can read your mind. Like a book, sure. Oh, please, Hannah. Me and Betty have decided to give each other up if you want to know. So why on earth would murder enter my mind? Who do you think you're kidding, Eric? If she only knew it, that suspicious mind of hers was digging her own grave. Because now I really began to ponder a murder. If only I could extract that foolproof method from her. If I could be sure Betty still wanted me. Hello, Betty. May I come in? Yes, yes, of course. Thanks. Eric, I thought we weren't going to see each other again. I know, but Betty, I want you to wait. Give me a little time. A little time? Yes. I think Hannah is with me. You mean, she might give you a divorce? Yes. Well, if you still want me. Maybe. Of course I still want you. But are you sure? Because I may as well tell you. Tommy Birth, will he ask me again to marry him?  Yes, yes, I swear it. Just wait a while longer. A little while longer, Betty, and you'll see. I have a plan to get her to divorce me. Oh, that was a wonderful dance, Eric. You know you haven't forgotten a step. Oh, neither have you, Hannah. You still dance like an angel. I don't know what's come over you lately. You've changed so, Eric. Taking me out every night, shows, night clubs. Why couldn't you ever see you're the girl for me? Not anyone else? You were in that busy mind of yours? Oh, I'm sorry, Eric. We went over all that and I said I'm sorry. That woman across the street, for instance. Couldn't you see I was just pretending all that business to teach you a lesson? Oh. I had it coming to me, I told you. And was that mind of yours traveling? That perfect murder plot, for instance, huh? Silly little goose. Oh, Eric, don't. What on earth did you think I was hatching?  Okay, so I will.  Huh? And anyone with half a mind knows that an overdose of dietol could kill a person without leaving any trace of it in the system. Yeah, no kidding. All you'd have to do is to go and get one of my prescriptions sometime, alter it to a stronger dose, replace my bottle a bit. I'd never be wiser. And poof, the perfect murder. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Couldn't I have made a good criminal lawyer like my father? Admit it. Sure, I followed her blueprint the very next day. First I paid a visit to Dr. Norton, the family's physician. I told him Hannah was down with a slight cold and couldn't come. Then I asked for the prescription, just her usual dietol, which he'd given her so often. I altered the prescription ever so slightly. My next stop was the druggist. Hey, you want the prescription, surely, Mr. Green? For your wife, huh? Yeah, from Dr. Norton. Where? I can have it filled for you in about an hour. Call back in an hour, Mr. Green. I see you're back, Mr. Green. Yes, is my prescription ready? You mean your wife's prescription, Mr. Green? Yes. The dietol refill? Yes, yes. Is it ready? Well, what's the matter? Is it ready or isn't it? Are you asking about the prescription you left in this drugstore or about an hour ago, Mr. Green? Well, yes. Why do you ask? What's wrong? Who are you? Detective Santini. Come with me, please. You're under arrest, Mr. Green. This is an outrage. I demand to know what I'm being held for. You did tamper with that prescription, Green, didn't you? Admit it. You're crazy. I want to see a lawyer. What are you charging me with? A tempted homicide. Tempted homicide? Yeah. You know, Green, when your wife reported our suspicions to us and demanded action, we thought she was crazy. What? We took routine action anyhow. She never at any time stopped suspecting about you and that other woman. Suspecting? That's right.  Knowing you were going to kill her, she directed your efforts better to foil. No. Oh, no. Now, Green, what was the name of that mouthpiece you wanted me to call in? Because, Brother, you're sure going to need a good one. And so I submit your honor and, gentlemen of the jury, that the prosecution has not, and in the very nature of things, could not establish a clear case of homicidal intent. Intent, gentlemen, against the defendant, Eric Green. And why? For the simple reason that he had not given the fatal overdose to his wife. Hence, you must agree that even if the defendant had murder in his heart at the outset which we deny, how could it be proved he would have given that overdose to his wife? Might he not have had a change of heart? Might he not have changed his mind and thrown that deadly liquid into the nearest gutter? Fine, the defendant, not guilty. Captain, this man go free for a meal trial again. Congratulations, Mr. Green. We can't give you the electric treatment yet. But you'd better see that your wife stays healthy. Because from now on, if anything happens to her, Brother, you're it. I was a ruined man from that moment. I quit it, huh? That made a difference to people, huh? As far as the world was concerned, I was a would-be murderer, something black and evil, to be shunned like a leper. I lost my job. After nine years with the same firm, I lost my job. No one else would hire me. And my friends, even the guys that knew me all my life, none of them were in when I phoned. They crossed the street to avoid having to talk to me.  The biggest blow of all was a letter the postman brought me, just after the trial. Dear Eric, I've moved away because of the publicity, and it's no use trying to find me. I always thought you were so gentle and fine. How could you bring yourself to attempt such a vile thing? Tomorrow I'm going to be Mrs. Thomas Birch. And my wife? She had moved to a hotel and was suing me for divorce. I was a nice guy once, respected. She had ruined me. My whole life was a mess.  There was no room in the same world for the both of us. And yet? You'd better see that your wife stays healthy, Mr. Green. Get it? If Hannah should die, no matter how clever I planned it, even by remote control, even if I were a thousand miles away. Because from now on, brother, if anything happens to her, you're it. They'd still suspect me. Still, I decided to finish her off, even if I'd burned for it. Life meant nothing to me anymore, but just once to outfox her. I racked my brains. There's really such a thing as a perfect murder. Somehow I sensed a road direction, somewhere in Hannah's suspicious nature lays a perfect crime. Maybe by using her suspicions, I... Sure, if something clicked. By following the twistings of her mind, I'd hit upon a plan. Hannah, this is Eric. Hannah, don't hang up, please. What do you want? Hannah, I swear it was all a terrible mistake. Why, I never intended for one moment... Indeed. Hannah, if you'd give me half a chance to explain... Are you through? If that's all you have to say... No, no, wait, wait, please. It isn't all. Hannah, I'm going away. I'd like to see you once more before I leave. For old times' sake. Oh, you would, would you? For old times' sake, eh? Yes. I'd like you to come over right now and have breakfast with me before I leave. Just the two of us alone. One last cup of coffee together, Hannah, to prove no hard feelings. Just you and me and a cup of coffee, Eric? Yes. Just the two of us, huh? Just the two of us. Get the coffee ready. For you, Hannah, and one for me. And now, I'll let you in on the real reason for our little get-together. Yes, Eric.  I don't want to live anymore.  I want to give you the torture of witnessing it. Hannah, I've poisoned my cup of coffee. Well, let's drink to my exit. Come in, officer. What? Detective Santini. Hello again, Mr. Green. Officer, I brought you along because I was sure he was going to make another attempt to kill me. I can now prove my husband's guilty intent to kill me, which I couldn't before. Hannah, what are you saying? Suppose we let her do the talking. Notice, please, that he has just served two cups of coffee, one for me and one for him.  Now, wait a minute.  Go on, Mr. Green. Not knowing, of course, that I would bring a witness along to this little plot of his, he has just told me he has poisoned his cup of coffee, that he intends to commit suicide with it. Very well. We shall see. Won't we, Eric? Obviously, he has poisoned my cup, as I shall now demonstrate. Hannah, what are you doing? It's there. I've exchanged cups with him. And now, Eric dear, let us drink. Come on, dear, don't pale so. Don't tremble. I'm drinking the poisoned coffee, aren't I? Hannah, don't drink it. So let's drink to your journey. Bottoms up. Hannah. There you see, Eric. I've... What, sir? She's dead. My gosh, she's dead. I warned her about my cup, but she drank it. You saw. Yeah, I sure did.  Yeah. Must have been that suspicious mind of hers. Why, she dug her own grave, that woman. Why, oh, yeah. You're not getting away with this, Green. What? I'm arresting you for the murder of your wife. What are you talking about? It was an unfortunate accident, that's all. Was it? I'm innocent. Are you? You were a witness. Now was I. Then I witnessed that crazy mind of hers. Dug her own grave, didn't she? She sure did. And that's just it. I have an idea, Mr. Green. You could have planned it all this way, every step. Knowing how your wife's mind worked, you could have known what would happen. Exactly from the time you invited her over for coffee. Anyhow, suppose we let the jury decide. Well, there's the story. You asked me, did I kill my wife, yes or no? You see why I couldn't answer it like that? Yes or no? Who was the killer? Me or that suspicious mind of hers? Suppose you tell me.
