[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] uh [Music] so [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] fear [Music] [Music] yeah sam spencer loomis what about the adam and eve job look i can't talk to you now loomis their snake just dropped in [Music] falling simply appalling the early italians always muddied their flesh tints well used egg yolk in their paint they didn't have turpentine you're unusually well informed do you paint well i fool around a little bit yeah just you know a little bit i'm a dilettante myself try a bit of everything like leonardo da vinci oh fabulous fellows those renaissance men laurens are the magnificent machiavelli the borgias oh dear born out of our time some of us mr obama says they're ready excuse me yes nice talking to you sam that snake baffles me for what i know about adam and eve you could cover with a fig leaf the bible doesn't tell us much more but the book of adam and eve that tells us what happens after they were chased out of the garden of eden now wait a minute did you say the book of adam and eve one of the so-called lost books of the bible part of the pseudopigrapher well i'll take your word for it there were some early translations in 1946 professor harold larson he's from denmark okay go ahead professor howard larson came up with four papyrus scrolls which he claims he bought from a bedouin they were apparently part of the original version because they were written in hieroglyphic hebrew hieroglyphic hebrew man that wasn't used after the 6th century bc that would make the adam and eve scrolls 700 years older than the dead sea scrolls why sam well i am i get a lot out of the reader's digest you know the london museum were prepared to buy the scrolls if they were genuine were they the leading document expert at the time a man called grinsback he declared them forgers but of course this is before carbon 14 dating testing's been developed unfortunately the professor upon hearing this he committed suicide in his home in copenhagen and the scrolls disappeared until a couple of weeks ago a preacher a preacher yeah a preacher here in california claimed he had hey what happened here since then i have been receiving inquiries from museums libraries all over the world they're prepared to buy the scrolls if a carbon 14 dating test reverses grinsback's opinion now the bidding in that case will probably start at two million dollars who get that the preacher no uh well if he can prove legal ownership but the professor had a daughter who also happens to live in california and she lives in a town called stopping but this is this is this is where you come in sam a couple of the prospective buyers asked me to call you they're prepared to jointly pay your fee if you can locate the scrolls and arrange for a carbon testing why me why not the regular channels why this is right up your rally strictly confidential now

all for you sam please let me stay first thing i gotta do is order an armored car sam can't wait until the second thing i've got to do is order an armored car [Music] i'm putting a piece of one of your scrolls in this burning tube as you probably know the linen wrappings of the dead sea scrolls tested out at 1 960 years old and it was assumed that the scrolls themselves were approximately the same age however in view of the controversy over the adam and eve scrolls we'll test the papyrus itself i've been this keyed up since the casanova diaries we do this by estimating the degree of carbon 14 radioactivity that's a property of all organic matter the first step is to chemically change the sample why it's to form carbon dioxide he got that from lorita's digest he told me so himself [Music] the carbon dioxide will now be fed into this central copper here the less radioactivity that we find the older the sample the date will appear on this carbon counter screen here [Music] lord have said unto me seek thy vengeance upon them but thou hast revealed i caused to me my hands shall destroy them so sayeth the lord [Music] now the lord works in wondrous ways you forgot to release the safety catch get them out of here but the holy scrolls they're mine they belong to the church of the new eden knights there's the large shall wreckage vengeance upon me normally it takes considerably longer but i'm afraid i knew from the beginning with the high radio activity but the scroll was modded the carbon counter puts it at 1883 that's less than 100 years old i'm sorry grinsback was right the scrolls are forgeries i don't believe it i don't care how many tests you make secret any suggestions cancel the armored car spotted it outside her swap shop it wasn't my fault officer somebody took it apart and left it in a ditch well how'd you get it i didn't know it was stolen buster some kid swapped it for a pup tent hey fella you mind taking it apart again you're kidding nope whatever he says all right for starters i suppose we take off these brass knobs off the post right [Music] my father hid the scrolls in the bed didn't he well whoever took the scrolls left behind this piece of linen wrapping and this was stuck to it how may i keep this why not [Music] [Applause] you've had a rough day haven't you you know that uh that character uh cosgrove you know we met at the festival you know the one that was dressed in the red outfit you're sure you've never seen him before no i i mean i had an odd dream about him i was a little girl again he was in the attic of our copenhagen house he was he was standing on one bag like a stork was it a dream or was it a memory 700 bc no doubt about it that new papyrus sample tests out at sixth century bc 2600 years give or take 50. thank you doctor you're all welcome she's still in there yup i've been out here and clyde and arthur are taking turns watching the back thanks she had us in a couple of times for diet drinks [Applause] oh maybe she's asleep yeah lalua well she's not in here you know come to think of it she went to the bathroom over an hour ago we heard the water running [Music] lulu break it down [Music] so what's to say dear sam i'm going to france to study dancing i am on a weekly payroll of bassett cosgrove by will you wait for that second check sweetheart [Music] he was a documents expert on the uh adam and eve affair that green spa huh he uh authenticated the uh channel sullivan carrie nation love letters the buyer thought they were stolen from the library of congress uh they were fakes so uh grinsbark could have been bought right uh they're marked with you nissiphonum me there professor that's a good cigar you got there you know [Music] say nothing but good about the dead i'm convinced that the larsen scrolls are genuine who would want to uh get grins back to say they were forgeries but it might be easier to steal does a basset cosgrove mean anything here dear old cosmo bastrop he uses many assumed names would you say karma bastard yes where could i find him oh he has hideaways all over the world how about the west coast here a um a box of havanas the best times up

saying that those scrolls were forgeries well they weren't i know i saw you looking for them in copenhagen you see you obviously remembered that brass bed when you saw it in solvang and you you found the scrolls in it really yes really so you had fake duplicates made you planted them in simpson's safe and you had lua bring them to me yeah but good heavens why why because you knew i had them tested that's why you wanted them established again as forgeries so the search for the genuine scrolls would be called but my dear mr janet who on earth would behave in such an absurdly accentuated not who you you know like all clandestine collectors you get your your kicks out of buying stolen art or you steal it yourself even though you'll never show it cultural kleptomania well thank you dr jarrett for the penetrating analysis yes yes i am a collector a clandestine collector but i specialize in only one of the arts the greatest art of all comics come in come in the most extensive collection ever assembled i couldn't begin to estimate its value i call this my fundatorium my own private shrine of heroic heroes and villainous villains you know i'm a fan of these things myself you are mr jonathan oh and i'm sure you agree with me that the art of the comic is the mad genius of the muses ever since a cro-magnon man scrawled a six-legged buffalo on the wall of his cave what and now tell me here in this last what is your favorite comic oh well i always did like little orphanage yes naturally and you mr jared what is yours captain marvel mandrake shockman superman batman personally i'm

value of the remaining copies brian chance do you have the uh captain america number one i see you have an index here mr jared you continually surprised me but of course i do that's my most valuable comic book but i'm afraid you said too many unkind things for our acquaintance to continue [Applause] i deeply regret this turn of events in happier circumstances you and i might have become

thank you rashford to mention it but in a game like this i find it more titillating to drop a clue here and there at zest don't you agree you know something i wouldn't have found out if you hadn't put on such a corny act about all these uh comics around the wounding things that you will say and i thought that my excessive enthusiasm was a nice piece of play acting good evening gentlemen of course comics are only one of my minor collections those scrolls are the quintessence of uniqueness oh gently gently casimir [Applause] [Music] i simply have to possess them possession means a lot to you doesn't it everything i thought appreciation was what uh really meant claptrap let the vulgar masses listen to a beethoven sonata or gaped at the mona lisa my aesthetic pleasure must be mine and mine alone shared with no one that's pretty exclusive i'm very impressed you should be do you realize i am the only man in the world who will ever read the lost book of adam and eve from the original text it almost makes me feel like god well maybe that's your problem put him in the guest room i brought clyde norther with you miss larson well he's not back yet [Applause] mr jarrett your sustenance for tomorrow serving me cloak an apple a day as they say and what is this the adam and eve diet yes i'm curious to know how long you can survive on it bon appetit [Music] so [Music] so [Music] okay let's
