1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: The Laundronnarts is a production of I Heart Radio. This 2 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,879 Speaker 1: is what we remember and remember. This is what it 3 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: sounded like. What we couldn't hear, we made up. The 4 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: rest of it is ultrue. Before we returned to the 5 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: laundron article of Jonica vernicle of fleet pap our children 6 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: poised as the Puma ear is at the pinnacle of 7 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: our own personal point of no return. We must first 8 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: re equate ourselves with Charlie Evans bedroom that we seem 9 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: a hons ago. You might recall that we had just 10 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: made contact with Charlie and his dream unaware we had 11 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,639 Speaker 1: in fact made contact with Charlie through Hoodwink, who then 12 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: delivered our message to Jonaka send the signal we pulled 13 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: her through. At the fifteen minute mark, Charlie promptly awakened 14 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: to inform us that this Hoodwink was now in an 15 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: absential with Jonica and had some home manipulated us all 16 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: in getting there. Adding to this confuge was Roscoe and 17 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: Annabelle Evans, Charlie's parents, bounding on the bedroom door, demanded 18 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: to know what all this ruckus was about? What's all 19 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: this rock is about? Charlie Harley Evan there's no rockish 20 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: Anna bell, Charlie motionless of the window were vade. Then 21 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: he tried to unsuccessfully smother the sound of the plum 22 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: as we darted out onto the fire escape and slithered 23 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: down the ladder to the street below. Mona hesitated at 24 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: the open windows, and you chuck, I'm having a nightmare. 25 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: Go away, don't make a bust down that door. Maybe 26 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: if you pulled your butt out of bed once in 27 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: a while. Roscoe, you have to come, Charlie. We need 28 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: your head as a coagulant. Co what you lent, Charlie, 29 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: holly us let me go back to sleep. Just be there. 30 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: I will just go go. Mona ducked out the window. 31 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: We could still hear Charlie round his parents screaming at 32 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: each other as we dashed to the washing turney. Meanwhile, 33 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: in absentia, surroundered on all sides by mounting danger and 34 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: impending chaos, Jonica floated serenely in the calm waters of 35 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: her own conscience. I'm ready hoodwink for suckling, shuddered ecstatically. 36 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: Wonderful news. Please do not, Shawnica, do not do this. 37 00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: I bed of you. We imprisoned cluckling struggled mightily within 38 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: his restraints. It'll be okay, quiet time piece, goodwink, whippot 39 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: the curl and squeezed more inky steel at Kink until 40 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: he was completely muffled. As you can see, my queen, 41 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: Time is of the utmost essence. I imagine sludge is 42 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: demanding entry to cataclysm at this very moment, and I 43 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: imagine Queen mcleanchar is stubbornly denying him said entry. That 44 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: standoff will not last. So I just bury myself here, 45 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: wake at the beach, just cover up to replace the 46 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: creator of my talis woman, you must bury yourself in 47 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: the deepest part of absentia, inside the heart of the matter. 48 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: Could Wink executed a quick survey of the outer show 49 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: of the heart, slithering over its many curves and concaves 50 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: and convexes until sweet Sozo, what is it? Come and see, 51 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: my queen. A door had been carved into the heart show. 52 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: No locks were visible, just a simple door. A drawing 53 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: from my knowledge of the human anatomy. You will need 54 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: to find the crossroads where the ventricle chambers meet the 55 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: aortic and pulmonary arteries. One can go no deeper than 56 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: that in the heart, what will be doing hiding? It's 57 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: when I do best give me the care. You won't 58 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: meet it, my mistress. Are you my obedient servant? Or 59 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: aren't you hoodwink coiled curtly, it is clearly not chuffed 60 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: at being ordered about. Then he slowly produced the carrot, 61 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: bowing low like a twig in the wind. As you wish, 62 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: oh celestial one, I will hang on to its twin, 63 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: if you don't mind, purely as a safe door, of course, 64 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: Jonica slid the carrot into her knapsack and faced the 65 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: door everything. She flung a open and stepped across the 66 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: threshold into the very heart of the heart of the matter, 67 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: and found herself in the attic of a great Granny 68 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: Manny's house, the neumatic attic, the once most glorious attic 69 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: Jonaka had ever seen, now second only to the ecstatic 70 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: attic of the city of what the Yes, she was 71 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: there be shold as always tending to her orchards. Near 72 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 1: the cracked, dusty, cob webbed window that was always cracked, 73 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: dusty and cobwebbed. The morning sun beamed into the refracting glass, 74 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 1: illuminating the dancing dust mites in the air. Are you 75 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: sure you're not slug? Yes? Should be chird perhaps, but 76 00:05:52,360 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: sloge never a y. He miss you so much.

How I didn't have the answers myshere, 79 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: just the questions. You and the other hands have all 80 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: of the answers, none of the questions.

You're just 86 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: a memory, it seems here in absentia even memories have memories. 87 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: Do you still have my luck? Of course? I never 88 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: take it off. Why did you put a photo of 89 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: my mother in there? Granny Minnie? I asked for a 90 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: picture of you. I wanted you to see your mother 91 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: as she once was, pumpkin, young, strong, full of life, 92 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: like you, She's nothing like me. Life can wear us 93 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: doing I can't if I don't understand it, cannot live 94 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: life fully until you learn to love life fully, my darling, 95 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: all of it, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful. Only 96 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: then will you ever truly live. I never learned any 97 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: of that stuff. It's not something you learned, see, it's 98 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: something you're unlearned. I need to get to the crossroads. 99 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: So focused and the resuliant, Come, dear, look good my window. 100 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: Johonnica joined her at the cracked, dusty cup with window. 101 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,239 Speaker 1: It was as if they were inside and diving down, 102 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: submerged in some strange dream. Outside was a labyrinth of 103 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: tunnels and valves, opening and closing, aqua blue water coursing everywhere, 104 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: a pulse something the walls throbbing and vibrating. That the 105 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: need soon over there, until you get to the pulmonary artery. Hello, 106 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: the current of the pulmonary artery to carry you to 107 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: the chambers of atria. There you will find the crossroads. 108 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: Wherever you do, darl And to not go into either 109 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: of the ventrical chambers, why not, you will be summarily 110 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: redistributed into the DNA of abstincia. Is that a bad thing? 111 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: Let's certain less? Thuds painful? Where were you as near 112 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: as your looking? Oh, the embrace Granny Manna and the 113 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: confines of her attic dissolved away, and Jonica was standing 114 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: in the veiny tunnel in shallow aqua blue water. The 115 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: walls of the tunnel inhaled and exhaled, pulsing with absentious power. 116 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: Follow the cannot get the ponary artery, Jonica dashed down 117 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: the tunnel, her feet splashing in the stream. The rumble 118 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: of a large river grew louder with each twist and turn. 119 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 1: The tunnel narrowed began to slope down. Jonica lost her 120 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: footing fell started to slide face forward. She was suddenly 121 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: launched into the air, then splashed into a seething lagoon below. 122 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: The rapids churned in front, tossing Jonica about, but she 123 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: managed to break the surface using her knapsack at the 124 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: floating device. She was moving with a new, more powerful 125 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: curve into a large duck tunnel. The pulmonary order the 126 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: ductor swallowed her. The water settled into an eerie calm m. Hello, Hello, 127 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: is someone else here? Hello? Hoodrink? Is that you?

Jonica awakened from our musical reverie to find 137 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: herself alone, lying on dry land. To her right and 138 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: left were cathedral like chambers whistling wildly with wind. The 139 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: ventricle chambers behind her, and before her were long tunnels 140 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: with slimy walls, pounding with power and purpose. They are 141 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: taken pulmonary pathways. Jonica stood and looked down at her feet. 142 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: The soil of absentia wafted over her shoes like a sandkerchief. 143 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: This is the place, her voice echoed in the cavernous crossroads. 144 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: She took off Granny Manny's lucket. Opened it took out 145 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: the photo of her mother as a teenage girl, healthy, spry, fearless, 146 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: performing a hand standard top a galloping horse. Nothing like 147 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: the grim husk. Jonica wheeled around San Francisco every day 148 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: the narrowed knitter of other people's socks, sad forlorn, always chastising, 149 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: always sowing seeds of diminishment and doubt. I don't want 150 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 1: to know what happened to me and where I hope 151 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: you don't mind, do you, Miniology. Jonica buried the luckets 152 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: and photograph in the soil and stepped back from the 153 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: ground sprung a flowering bush, pink tohition dancer. Jonica spun 154 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 1: it was the teenage girl from the photo, the acrobat, smiling, 155 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: standing on two good legs. Mamma, I never wanted to 156 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: book the tide rope or sweet on the topees. Mother 157 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: the fleet plucked a pair of tow shoes from the 158 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: pink bush and tried them on. They fit perfectly. She 159 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: began to dance gracefully. Papa was having none of it. 160 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: So the Fleet family belongs to the silk v artists. 161 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: Your father has the same fire, demanding, disciplined, stubbing the hearing. 162 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: But it was nothing like your Colbert. Your father was 163 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: a hoard, a liar. As soon as I walked my 164 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: back from the fall, he was gone with the horse 165 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: Tiger's daughter. No he's holding He sounds like a horrible man, 166 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: and glad I don't remember him.

She caught a corpuscle hanging from the 222 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: ceilings and held on tight. The vacuum tugged at her. 223 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: The malignancy oozed out of the chamber, staying low, avoiding 224 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: the clutches of the vacuum. School I'm caring it again. 225 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: It was gone. Who are you? But Granny Money was 226 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: nowhere to be found. Janka had buried her with the luck. 227 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: She was on her own. She searched for the plug, 228 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: It too was gone. She took a long, deep breath, 229 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: bowed down to the now, and let go of the corpuscle. 230 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: She was instantly sucked out to the yawning mall of 231 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: the vow actually described it later. I went, I was 232 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: pushed up through cataclysmia. I saw everything worh past me, 233 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: the piectings and wheels and gears and mcclinker sarge in 234 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: the grumblers. Then I was in soft mountain, pushing upwards, 235 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: up to the current of socks came down. Pressure was 236 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: so strong I thought I was going to explode. I 237 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: erupted out the mouth of the mountain and it was 238 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: me again. It was a bright flash, and and on 239 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: that resounding no children. We pivot back to San Francisco, 240 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: where our crew had just arrived at the washer, ury 241 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: and breathless and bedraggled, but barely a minute to spare, 242 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: and no Charlie Evans in sight. Where's Jolie? Well turned 243 00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: the monor, the instigator of our helpless plan. He if 244 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: he'd be here. Well, he's not. What's the time, I asked? 245 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: One minute, I'll go find him. No, there's no time, Perry. 246 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: We stay together. He'll be here. Come on, Charlie, day down? 247 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: Did I miss anything?

No one's touching 252 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: my head. There was no time for argument. We left 253 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: on Charlie and rustled him to the jumbo tar and 254 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: he pushed us home. All right, all right, back away 255 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: and climbed into the machine and sat awkwardly in the 256 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: soapy water. Now what we all turned them on? I 257 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: don't know. Great, he's not collagulating. Maybe he needs to 258 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 1: be asleep. Go to sleep, Charlie, what well? I don't 259 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: know something about his dreams. I'll finish my bedtime story. 260 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: We don't have time for that, Nick, Are you people nuts? 261 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: Do you want me to all of a sudden fall 262 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: asleep again in a washing machine? Yes, you know what, 263 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: forget it? I tried. I'm done. Charlie started to climb 264 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: out of the machine, but then he stepped forward and 265 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: Cole cocked him in the jar. Charlie crumbled like an 266 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: old card table, and it was out like the proverbial 267 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 1: nightlight in wanting to do that for a long time. Wow, Gang, 268 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: and the new heavyweight champion of the world is Benjamin 269 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: Franklin came in?
