Murder My Sweet

en
00:01:15 I remember you as a noisy little
00:01:19 Is your book of answers lost,
00:01:23 Maybe you don't think
00:01:25 - Maybe I didn't do it.
00:01:28 Look, Marlowe, we're arraigning you.
00:01:30 We don't like you, but it ain't personal.
00:01:33 We just follow a routine after a killing.
00:01:35 Where's Randall?
00:01:36 He asked us to talk to you, if that's okay.
00:01:39 - Is he holding the kid?
00:01:41 - Is she all right?
00:01:43 - Where did you see her last?
00:01:56 - How do you feel?
00:02:00 - Cigarette?
00:02:11 Want to make a statement?
00:02:14 Boys tell me I did a couple of murders.
00:02:18 You got a rope under my ears?
00:02:21 I think you better let me have it.
00:02:23 I'll have to hold it on you,
00:02:26 Okay, Dowling. Bring in your notebook.
00:02:33 We're all set.
00:02:34 - The works?
00:02:36 Some of it you know. If I misquote you...
00:02:39 Let's get it on the record,
00:02:42 With Malloy, then.
00:02:45 It was about 7:00. Anyway, it was dark.
00:02:48 - Why were you at the office that late?
00:02:51 I always come back to the stinking coop
00:02:54 I'd been peeking
00:02:56 for a barber named Dominic
00:03:01 I only took the job because my bank
00:03:05 And I never found him.
00:03:08 I just found out all over again
00:03:12 My feet hurt.
00:03:13 And my mind
00:03:16 The office bottle hadn't sparked me up...
00:03:18 so I'd taken out my little black book
00:03:23 Nothing like soft shoulders
00:03:29 The soft shoulders had a date,
00:03:32 and was going to check right back.
00:03:36 There's something about the dead silence
00:03:40 Not quite real.
00:03:42 The traffic down below was something
00:04:00 I seen your name
00:04:03 Yeah?
00:04:06 I come up to see you.
00:04:11 You're a private eye?
00:04:13 That's right.
00:04:18 I'd like you to look for somebody.
00:04:22 I'm closed up, pal. Come around
00:04:25 I looked for her where she worked...
00:04:28 but I've been out of touch.
00:04:30 Okay. Tomorrow.
00:04:41 I'd like to show you where she worked.
00:04:47 Okay. You show me where she worked.
00:04:51 This way.
00:04:55 The joint looked like trouble,
00:04:58 Nothing bothered me.
00:04:59 The two twenties felt nice and snug
00:05:04 I tried to picture him in love
00:05:08 They changed it a lot.
00:05:10 There was a stage where she worked,
00:05:14 Pink flowers was in the slatwork.
00:05:17 She was cute as lace pants.
00:05:20 A redhead.
00:05:23 Eight years since I seen her.
00:05:26 Six she didn't write,
00:05:30 - What's she do, sing?
00:05:33 Let's you and me go up
00:05:54 Boss.
00:06:09 - Whiskey. Call yours.
00:06:12 You never heard of Velma?
00:06:14 Look, Joe, I'm sorry about your girl.
00:06:16 And I know how you feel,
00:06:18 No girl's been here
00:06:21 No show. No noise.
00:06:23 I got a reputation for no trouble.
00:06:31 She used to work here.
00:06:34 You ask him about Velma.
00:06:36 We've been over all that. Drink up, Joe.
00:06:50 You remember Velma?
00:06:52 I'll have to request
00:06:55 So far you rate me polite?
00:07:15 Some guys has the wrong ideas
00:07:20 Whiskey.
00:07:21 Come on. Eight years is a lot of gin.
00:07:25 - Who asked you to stick your face in?
00:07:29 I'm the guy who came in with you, chunky.
00:07:32 Moose. The name is Moose.
00:07:36 - Moose Malloy. You heard of me, maybe?
00:07:41 They changed it a lot.
00:07:43 There was a stage
00:07:46 You said that.
00:07:48 I'm beginning not to like it here.
00:08:04 - Maybe I told you too much.
00:08:07 - We was to be married.
00:08:09 Where do you figure I've been away
00:08:12 Catching butterflies.
00:08:14 I put away a few grand before I went up.
00:08:17 - You been in the caboose ever?
00:08:21 Okay. You find Velma.
00:08:24 - She got a last name?
00:08:30 - How will I get in touch with you?
00:08:39 I spent a buck in another bar
00:08:42 Mike Florian ran the joint until 1939.
00:08:44 He died in 1940
00:08:48 His wife Jessie finished it for him.
00:08:50 Tracing her was easy. I could do that.
00:08:52 A bright third grader
00:08:55 He needed a private detective.
00:08:58 She was a charming middle-aged lady
00:09:02 I gave her a drink.
00:09:05 if she had to knock you down
00:09:07 That liquor's been keeping
00:09:13 Just hold it careful, mister.
00:09:21 What was it we was talking about?
00:09:23 The red-headed girl named Velma Valento.
00:09:26 Used to work in your husband's place
00:09:29 Who was it you said you was, mister?
00:09:34 There.
00:09:38 A private cop.
00:09:40 You didn't say that, mister...
00:09:43 but I knew you wasn't no regular cop.
00:09:46 No regular cop
00:09:48 Do you remember Velma?
00:09:50 - Who was that, copper?
00:09:54 No. I don't seem to right off.
00:09:59 What was it you said you wanted her for?
00:10:01 I'm tracing her for a client of mine.
00:10:07 I shouldn't ought to sit here
00:10:10 but when I like a guy
00:10:13 the ceiling is the limit.
00:10:18 Hold on to your chair
00:10:22 I got an idea.
00:10:30 No peeking.
00:11:08 Them is all Mike left me,
00:11:14 Publicity, that is.
00:11:16 But them dolls didn't never get
00:11:19 at least not in connection with the place,
00:11:41 Why did you hide this picture of Velma?
00:11:44 Give it to me!
00:11:48 She's dead.
00:11:50 She was a nice kid...
00:11:53 but she's dead.
00:11:55 - Moose will be sorry to hear that.
00:12:01 Yeah, he's out. He's out,
00:12:04 Why did you hide her picture?
00:12:06 I don't know anybody
00:12:09 Beat it!
00:12:13 I don't know anybody
00:12:54 Suddenly, she wasn't drunk anymore.
00:12:57 Her hand was steady, and she was cool...
00:13:01 like somebody making
00:13:05 not yet committed.
00:13:14 Hello, sweetheart.
00:13:15 I let in a guy a couple hours ago.
00:13:17 He said it was important. Okay?
00:13:20 He's in love and in a big hurry.
00:13:24 - Cute little fella, isn't he?
00:13:28 - Sober?
00:13:32 He smells real nice.
00:13:50 Mr. Marlowe?
00:13:53 I took the liberty
00:13:58 The attendant gave me the impression
00:14:01 Who put in the pitch for me, Mr. Marriott?
00:14:02 - I beg your pardon?
00:14:06 As a matter of fact...
00:14:08 I decided to employ a private investigator
00:14:11 This being Saturday afternoon,
00:14:14 and was somewhat at a loss as to...
00:14:18 The directory listed several in this
00:14:21 I'm in a clutch at the moment.
00:14:24 I'm pretty busy.
00:14:26 What's the job?
00:14:34 I'll require your services
00:14:37 I'm meeting some men
00:14:40 I'm paying them some money.
00:14:42 You better get your flaps down,
00:14:45 What's the deal, blackmail?
00:14:46 I'm not in the habit
00:14:51 I've simply agreed to serve
00:14:54 - How much and what for?
00:14:57 You just want me to go along
00:15:00 I'm afraid I don't like your manner.
00:15:02 I've had complaints about it.
00:15:05 How much are you offering me
00:15:08 I really hadn't gotten around
00:15:11 You suppose you can get around
00:15:14 How would you like
00:15:20 I tremble at the thought of such violence.
00:15:28 I'm offering $100
00:15:30 If that isn't enough, say so.
00:15:34 Some jewels were taken
00:15:37 - I'm buying them back.
00:15:40 The arrangements specify that I drive
00:15:44 Wait a minute.
00:15:45 You drive to a nice, dark petting spot,
00:15:49 - to buy back jewelry for a lady...
00:15:51 ...and what you get will be a package
00:15:56 There's nothing to prevent them
00:15:59 I certainly couldn't do anything to stop it.
00:16:01 Every move's planned. They aren't figuring
00:16:05 But they wouldn't like you being twins.
00:16:09 I'm afraid I can't do anything
00:16:14 But I'll take your $100
00:16:20 I carry the shopping money, too,
00:16:36 We were watched.
00:16:37 I didn't see anything.
00:16:41 I was a toad on a wet rock.
00:16:43 A snake was looking
00:16:45 - There should be some white posts soon.
00:16:51 A path there goes down into the hollow
00:16:56 Check: White posts.
00:17:05 You sit tight.
00:18:36 Looks like a tryout
00:18:53 I caught the blackjack right behind my ear.
00:18:56 A black pool opened up at my feet.
00:18:59 I dived in. It had no bottom.
00:19:03 I felt pretty good... like an amputated leg.
00:19:25 Are you all right? What happened?
00:20:08 He was doubled up on his face...
00:20:10 in that bag-of-old-clothes position
00:20:14 He had been killed by an amateur...
00:20:17 or by somebody who wanted it
00:20:22 Nobody else would hit a man
00:20:34 The oftener you go over it,
00:20:36 You know nothing about Marriott, how
00:20:41 Trusting soul, wasn't he?
00:20:44 Sorry I don't have it.
00:20:47 and just before I hit myself on the back
00:20:52 Supposing a jewel outfit got the idea
00:20:56 for contacts and payoffs.
00:20:58 Suppose they ran out of uses for him.
00:21:01 They might try
00:21:03 Great.
00:21:05 Now I'm a finger for a heist mob.
00:21:08 Look, I try to be helpful.
00:21:10 I get up off the nice cold ground
00:21:14 right after having my head treated.
00:21:16 I lead you to the body instead of
00:21:19 I tell you all I know, four times!
00:21:21 It sounds screwy. All right, it is screwy.
00:21:24 Sometimes I'm not smart,
00:21:27 I'm tired of listening to your bum guesses.
00:21:29 Either book me or let me go home.
00:21:31 Getting personal,
00:21:34 I don't like sitting here.
00:21:37 I'd rather dig eggshells out of garbage
00:21:41 - I get it. You don't like me.
00:21:45 You're a not a detective,
00:21:47 You'd slit your own throat for six bits.
00:21:50 - Now, look...
00:21:52 One false move, and you'll be locked up
00:21:55 It's that kind of a case, with the witnesses
00:21:59 I'll get them their murderer.
00:22:01 You'll get him about the time
00:22:05 Okay. Go on home to bed.
00:22:08 Stick to your story if you want.
00:22:11 but stay out of my way.
00:22:13 And stay out of the way of Marriott's pals.
00:22:16 I've been after these boys for a long time,
00:22:19 So watch your step...
00:22:20 or I may have to pick you up
00:22:26 Yeah?
00:22:29 - Is Amthor mixed up in this?
00:22:33 I know lots of people in this town...
00:22:35 but I never heard of Jules Amthor.
00:22:45 Business is getting better. And prettier.
00:22:54 Mr. Marlowe, I'm Miss Allison, The Post.
00:22:57 The police aren't being helpful
00:23:00 How did you know about me?
00:23:02 I have friends at the City Hall, naturally.
00:23:06 I'd just get you in a lot of trouble.
00:23:08 Did Marriott tell you
00:23:12 They'll never know where I heard it,
00:23:16 I'll be in a much better
00:23:19 Come in, Miss Allison. Have a seat.
00:23:23 No, I wasn't told who owned the jade.
00:23:28 - Had you known Marriott some time?
00:23:32 Did you have any theories about what
00:23:36 One or two.
00:23:38 - You do your own typing, Miss Allison?
00:23:42 I'm not always this brilliant, Miss...
00:23:45 Miss Grayle.
00:23:47 But I'm improving.
00:23:49 What do you do besides playing reporter?
00:23:56 You're a hot rock anyway.
00:23:59 All I could tell them last night was that
00:24:03 You'd impress them
00:24:05 Have you ever known a Velma Valento,
00:24:09 It was another case, anyway.
00:24:14 Did your friends at City Hall
00:24:19 - Who does it belong to?
00:24:23 We won't get anyplace
00:24:26 - I'll take my answer first.
00:24:29 I'm interested in the jade,
00:24:32 because I'd like to know who besides me
00:24:36 He gave me $100
00:24:39 I'm a small businessman
00:24:42 but I like to follow through on a sale.
00:24:44 The jade belongs to my father.
00:24:47 I got it from Marriott it belonged to a lady.
00:24:49 My father happens to be married.
00:24:52 Yes, of course he would be.
00:24:55 Then your mother was wearing it
00:24:58 She's not my mother.
00:25:02 Which one sent you here to feel me out?
00:25:05 It was my own brilliant idea.
00:25:10 Before I see the police,
00:25:14 and your father's wife.
00:25:17 Open the door.
00:25:24 It was a nice little front yard.
00:25:28 only you'd need a compass
00:25:31 The house was all right, too,
00:25:36 I had to wait
00:25:38 It was like waiting to buy a crypt
00:25:41 Mr. Marlowe.
00:25:53 Mr. Marlowe, Father.
00:25:55 - How do you do?
00:25:56 It's good of you to come.
00:25:58 This is Mrs. Grayle.
00:26:04 Are you familiar with jade, Mr. Marlowe?
00:26:11 What do you know about jade?
00:26:13 It's green, isn't it?
00:26:16 Yeah. No, thanks.
00:26:18 Jade, Mr. Marlowe...
00:26:19 is not sufficiently known
00:26:24 The great rulers of the East, however...
00:26:26 - Sit down, won't you?
00:26:27 The great rulers of the East have treated it
00:26:33 They've spent years
00:26:36 Fei-ts'ui jade, in which I, as a collector...
00:26:40 am particularly interested,
00:26:46 I'm afraid,
00:26:49 I'm inclined to be a bit of a bore.
00:26:51 Keep going.
00:26:52 But since my daughter
00:26:56 injudiciously perhaps...
00:26:58 I was already in it up to my eyebrows.
00:27:00 I take it the whatchamacallit you lost
00:27:05 A necklace, Mr. Marlowe.
00:27:08 A necklace. 60 beads
00:27:12 - Worth how much?
00:27:15 The Chinese government
00:27:19 which once brought as much as $125,000.
00:27:24 You were about to ask, Mr. Marlowe,
00:27:29 as to go out in the evening
00:27:34 Something like that.
00:27:37 It's unanswerable. I shouldn't have.
00:27:39 I never should have worn it out.
00:27:42 Where was the stickup?
00:27:44 If you'll excuse me,
00:27:48 But Mrs. Grayle will tell you
00:27:53 Goodbye, sir.
00:27:58 We're naturally anxious
00:28:02 I only hope it can be managed
00:28:05 Yeah. So do I.
00:28:08 Let's dispense
00:28:13 - Would you mind...
00:28:16 I didn't think
00:28:19 to make detecting very attractive
00:28:22 I stir up trouble on the side.
00:28:24 How much money
00:28:27 $8,000.
00:28:28 - Cheap at the price.
00:28:30 We guessed
00:28:34 Who knew you'd be wearing the necklace
00:28:37 My maid, perhaps,
00:28:40 - Besides, I trust her.
00:28:43 I don't know. I trust some people.
00:28:45 - I trust you.
00:28:48 Not in some things. In others, yes.
00:28:54 I thought detectives were heavy drinkers.
00:28:57 Some of them are.
00:28:59 Some of them just encourage
00:29:02 - Shall I tell you about the holdup?
00:29:05 Lin and I had been out dancing.
00:29:08 - Where were you stopped?
00:29:11 Does it matter a lot?
00:29:14 Not too much at the moment.
00:29:15 How many other Marriotts are there:
00:29:18 Pretty guys who take you dancing?
00:29:20 I'm very fond of my husband.
00:29:23 Only his two-step's getting a little stiff.
00:29:26 Do you know a Jules Amthor?
00:29:27 - I've heard Lin speak of him. Why?
00:29:30 The cops told me to leave him alone.
00:29:34 - Is he a bad boy?
00:29:38 Lin was rather a heel himself...
00:29:41 but he was a nice heel.
00:29:43 The papers didn't say much
00:29:47 - How...
00:29:50 If an elephant had stepped
00:29:53 How awful.
00:29:55 I feel so responsible now,
00:30:00 I don't understand.
00:30:02 I've tried to put it together
00:30:06 You know, there was something peculiar
00:30:09 They gave me back one of my rings.
00:30:14 - What's Amthor's racket?
00:30:17 Some sort of psychic consultant.
00:30:21 You see, Lin fancied himself a sculptor,
00:30:25 That's why he went to him originally.
00:30:28 He couldn't get started for fear of failure.
00:30:34 I wonder if he'd take my case.
00:30:45 - Who was that?
00:30:49 Strange child.
00:30:57 You will help me, won't you?
00:30:59 Is this for love, or are you paying me
00:31:05 I never hired a detective before.
00:31:08 As much as the traffic will bear.
00:31:10 - When can you start?
00:31:12 How do I find Amthor?
00:31:13 I'll see if I can smoke him out for you.
00:31:17 - Yes?
00:31:20 Show him in.
00:31:23 Don't look so judicial.
00:31:28 I hadn't the faintest idea he was coming.
00:31:35 How do you spend your evenings?
00:31:36 Recently, I've been playing
00:31:39 - And then where do you go?
00:31:43 Let's see what's on his mind.
00:31:45 I'm sorry.
00:31:48 This is Mr. Marlowe. Mr. Amthor.
00:31:50 Mr. Marlowe's a private detective.
00:31:53 I was hired as a bodyguard
00:31:56 Now I'm investigating myself.
00:31:58 You must forgive me
00:32:02 These things are so difficult to believe.
00:32:05 Close friend, someone you know so well...
00:32:08 - What could have happened?
00:32:11 When could you help me work them out?
00:32:13 I wouldn't make a good detective,
00:32:16 I know. You are inaccessible.
00:32:19 In what way do you think I could help you?
00:32:22 I spent last night with the police.
00:32:25 They took it for granted
00:32:29 They told me not to get too close to you,
00:32:32 You look harmless to me.
00:32:34 I'd be glad to arrange an interview if...
00:32:36 Just leave the number with Mrs. Grayle.
00:32:40 Don't go to any special trouble.
00:32:54 - How do you get out of this funhouse?
00:33:03 Come in.
00:33:05 It's on the bed.
00:33:11 This is six weeks
00:33:14 You must be in love.
00:33:16 Bring it back tomorrow.
00:33:30 You've got a nice build
00:33:34 It gets me around.
00:33:36 How does one get to be
00:33:39 You don't mind my sizing you up a little?
00:33:42 Most are ex-cops.
00:33:45 - Not for incompetence, surely.
00:33:48 I had an interesting childhood, too, but
00:33:52 I thought you'd like to know
00:33:55 and I wanted to make it official.
00:33:57 Shall we call this a retainer?
00:34:04 Yeah, let's call it a retainer.
00:34:06 If the cops get to you, you sent for me.
00:34:09 I didn't want to take the case.
00:34:12 - You hired me.
00:34:15 Would that bother you?
00:34:17 We live pretty much by ourselves.
00:34:19 And my husband has a morbid fear
00:34:23 He's not very strong.
00:34:24 I'll manage it. How did it go with Amthor?
00:34:27 I'm stubborn. I don't like being rushed.
00:34:29 I figured, the way you're dressed,
00:34:34 I was hoping
00:34:38 or don't you ever relax
00:34:40 Not in public. It's too crowded.
00:34:42 Do you like the Coconut Beach Club?
00:34:44 Never been there. I'm the drive-in type.
00:34:47 The lights would be flattering to you.
00:34:49 They might even mellow you a little.
00:34:52 It's the sort of place
00:34:56 Be right with you.
00:35:28 - I think I'll put some powder my nose.
00:35:45 Mr. Marlowe.
00:35:47 Look...
00:35:49 I like you, but I'm too old to play games.
00:35:52 If you're jealous of your stepmother,
00:35:56 She'll be here soon, and I don't want
00:35:59 There's no danger.
00:36:02 Helen's gone by now.
00:36:03 - What do you mean sidetracked?
00:36:06 I'm just staying long enough
00:36:09 Tell me, are you a member of a
00:36:12 or do you get all your information
00:36:15 - What did she ask you to do?
00:36:18 She wanted me to kiss her
00:36:21 I may have the order wrong,
00:36:24 You said you were a businessman.
00:36:26 Whatever she was willing to pay you,
00:36:29 Just stay away from her.
00:36:33 What's the matter?
00:36:36 I don't know.
00:36:39 Surely I'm not corrupting you.
00:36:42 I seem to remember you
00:36:45 - One of the better ones.
00:36:54 Well?
00:36:58 Stick around. I'll be right back.
00:37:10 Ditch the babe.
00:37:11 What's the matter with you?
00:37:14 Ditch the babe.
00:37:16 Look, I'm a big boy now.
00:37:19 You hired me. Now stop following me,
00:37:21 - Ditch the babe. I'd like you to meet a guy.
00:37:25 Soon gangrene will set in, in those fingers.
00:37:27 - I'd like you to meet a guy.
00:38:00 You do go for the showgirl type,
00:38:04 - Cute, huh?
00:38:53 What's the matter with going up the front
00:39:01 Come on.
00:39:05 That's just part of my clothes.
00:39:49 On clear days, Mr. Marlowe, you can see
00:39:56 I trust you brought your crystal ball.
00:40:04 I don't get it.
00:40:06 You mean there are some things
00:40:09 I've always credited the private detective
00:40:13 Or is that only true in rental fiction?
00:40:16 I'd like you to ask him now.
00:40:17 - Don't be impatient.
00:40:20 - Can't you do your own asking?
00:40:23 The boss wants a nice, quiet talk
00:40:32 I believe you wanted to discuss
00:40:36 I usually come in through the front door,
00:40:39 I merely wanted to take you
00:40:42 An old psychological trick.
00:40:46 Where did you pick up Malloy?
00:40:50 My dear Mr. Marlowe...
00:40:51 I notice in you an unpleasant tendency
00:40:56 A characteristic of your generation.
00:40:58 In this case, I must ask you
00:41:01 Now, about the police...
00:41:04 Maybe they got something on you
00:41:07 I didn't expect you to tell me which.
00:41:10 It's an old psychological trick, grandpa.
00:41:15 What's your racket?
00:41:17 I am in a very sensitive profession.
00:41:21 I am a quack.
00:41:23 Which is to say, I'm ahead of my time
00:41:27 Naturally, certain elements
00:41:30 It's entirely possible
00:41:34 That is it.
00:41:37 Sorry if I've upset your theories about me,
00:41:41 My theory's pretty simple.
00:41:44 Marriott was a blackmailer of women.
00:41:48 Women liked him around. His interest
00:41:53 But he wasn't the whole works. Somebody
00:41:57 so he could load them with ice,
00:41:59 then slip to the phone
00:42:04 And that is your picture
00:42:10 I am slightly disgusted
00:42:17 Don't look now,
00:42:20 I am very disappointed in you.
00:42:23 Your thinking is untidy,
00:42:27 You depress me.
00:42:30 Suppose your theory were correct...
00:42:32 I would have Mrs. Grayle's jade now,
00:42:34 - Unless something went wrong.
00:42:38 Marriott could have lost his nerve
00:42:42 Take a private dick who'd risk his neck
00:42:45 He might get ambitious.
00:42:47 He might figure an expensive necklace
00:42:51 This hypothetical detective of yours...
00:42:54 he might be willing to part
00:42:58 Could be, if he had it.
00:42:59 How big a consideration?
00:43:02 It would be difficult to discuss that
00:43:05 He might be bluffing,
00:43:08 In which case, a great thinker might try
00:43:13 You wouldn't suggest that?
00:43:18 Only if you wanted
00:43:23 No need for us to be
00:43:26 There's really no need for subterfuge.
00:43:29 I want that jade.
00:43:30 I'm prepared to buy it from you
00:43:33 or if you can get it.
00:43:35 Supposing I haven't got it...
00:43:37 or supposing I don't want to sell...
00:43:43 You get him to tell you yet?
00:43:46 He refuses to tell me where she is.
00:43:49 I gave you some dough to find Velma.
00:43:51 - I don't like you not telling where she is.
00:43:56 - I don't like nobody to kid with me.
00:44:00 Take it easy. We'll get it out of him.
00:44:06 How'd you get mixed up with these guys?
00:44:09 He's okay. He tells me about you.
00:44:11 If he tells you I know where Velma is,
00:44:13 He just picked you up to do his dirty work.
00:44:15 He's after jewelry. He thinks I've got it.
00:44:18 - I paid you to find her.
00:44:21 - Where you got her?
00:44:24 Where's the necklace?
00:44:26 You shouldn't have done that.
00:44:36 Let him breathe a little.
00:44:39 - Where's the necklace?
00:44:42 All right. A little more.
00:44:47 Let him go. He's tame.
00:44:55 I could teach you, but to what purpose?
00:44:59 A dirty, stupid little man
00:45:02 One spot of brightness on you,
00:45:05 Isn't that so?
00:45:12 I'm glad you hit me. It helps.
00:45:16 Helps me a great deal.
00:45:26 The black pool opened up at my feet again,
00:45:31 Next thing I remember,
00:45:33 It was not my idea.
00:45:37 The rest of it was a crazy,
00:45:40 I had never been there before.
00:45:49 Where's the necklace?
00:46:11 You shouldn't have hit me.
00:46:59 The window was open,
00:47:04 It was a gray web, woven by 1,000 spiders.
00:47:08 I wondered how they got them
00:47:18 Help!
00:47:26 What strikes you funny, pally?
00:47:30 - The smoke.
00:47:39 - Where am I?
00:47:42 Anything else, pally?
00:47:45 The doors are too small.
00:47:49 The stairs are made of dough.
00:47:51 I think this guy's nuts.
00:47:56 Skip it.
00:47:59 - I think I'll take myself a nap again.
00:48:24 My throat felt sore...
00:48:26 but the fingers feeling it
00:48:29 They were just a bunch of bananas
00:48:40 I wondered what I was shot full of.
00:48:43 Something to keep me quiet
00:48:48 Maybe both.
00:48:56 Okay, Marlowe, I said to myself,
00:49:00 You've been sapped twice, choked,
00:49:04 shot in the arm until you're
00:49:08 Now let's see you
00:49:11 like putting your pants on.
00:49:43 Okay, you cuckoo, walk and talk.
00:49:46 What about? Anything. Everything.
00:49:49 Just talk and keep walking.
00:49:54 That's a beautiful bed.
00:49:57 Stay off it!
00:50:00 Walk!
00:50:12 I walked. I don't know how long.
00:50:15 I didn't have a watch.
00:50:17 They don't make that kind of time
00:50:29 I was ready to talk to somebody.
00:51:10 Help! Help!
00:51:20 That'll quiet your nerves, pally.
00:52:42 The buzzer won't
00:52:45 I just gave nursey a sleeping tablet.
00:52:53 For three days, you've been
00:52:58 I cannot recommend
00:53:05 I had a nightmare. A lot of crazy things.
00:53:08 I slept.
00:53:10 I woke up,
00:53:12 I was a sick man.
00:53:17 Here I am, all cured.
00:53:22 - What were you saying?
00:53:26 Remarks want you to make them.
00:53:28 They got their tongues hanging out
00:53:31 I'm Dr. Sonderborg.
00:53:33 You've been suffering
00:53:36 On account of you pumped me
00:53:39 Speak up, Dr. Jekyll!
00:53:43 I want to go dance in the foam.
00:53:48 I haven't shot a man in a week.
00:53:51 You very nearly died, sir.
00:53:55 Also a little something to make me talk?
00:54:00 Maybe about a jade necklace
00:54:02 Was I good telling you
00:54:06 Did the customers like me?
00:54:13 Never disappoint Mr. Amthor.
00:54:17 It depresses him.
00:54:23 You're not well, Mr. Marlowe.
00:54:26 You may collapse at any time.
00:54:31 Please give me this.
00:54:37 Now the gun, please.
00:54:40 The gun, please.
00:54:44 I strongly advise...
00:54:47 Tie a ribbon on the one
00:54:50 When you got a gun, people are
00:54:53 I'm afraid you're going
00:54:56 Tie a ribbon on it!
00:55:09 The girls must have a great time with you.
00:55:35 - I'm booked, captain.
00:55:37 I'm booked, captain.
00:55:59 You ain't in good shape.
00:56:02 - I'll murder you.
00:56:05 - Maybe you were just making love to me.
00:56:10 You're nuts. You're crazy as a rabbit.
00:56:14 - He sent after me.
00:56:18 - He was kidding with me.
00:56:22 He was waving a fish in front of your nose,
00:56:26 Nobody's supposed to find her.
00:56:32 - You ain't in good shape. I better help you.
00:56:41 - Listen!
00:56:44 Look, I got a fare and I'm on waiting time.
00:56:52 - I'd like you to take my friend.
00:57:00 I said something wrong there. I knew it.
00:57:02 The big stir-bug was
00:57:04 His brain was working.
00:57:06 I don't know what happened to it,
00:57:12 I wanted to sleep
00:57:14 but I couldn't.
00:57:16 Nulty was watching my apartment.
00:57:19 So I decided to call on Ann
00:57:24 and if she really liked it.
00:57:46 - What do you want?
00:57:49 - Go away.
00:57:58 This is a nice place.
00:58:06 But why?
00:58:09 An old ballroom or something
00:58:12 Or don't you like it out there?
00:58:19 I'm all broke up with cops, honey.
00:58:22 They're hanging all over my place
00:58:25 They may just want to chat,
00:58:28 - I'll have to live here a couple of days.
00:58:33 That's no way to talk to your loved one...
00:58:35 when he comes home to you
00:58:38 Helen fixed me a blind date with Amthor
00:58:42 - What happened? Are you all right?
00:58:47 I don't think I'm supposed to be alive...
00:58:51 - Say that again.
00:58:53 The last thing you said.
00:58:55 I said, "What happened?
00:59:01 What's the matter?
00:59:05 Why do you keep looking at me
00:59:09 What were you doing in the canyon
00:59:12 I just remember how it happened.
00:59:14 I was lying on my face
00:59:17 Somebody threw a flashlight on me
00:59:21 And then she said, "What happened?"
00:59:25 A girl with red hair, a crooked nose,
00:59:29 - I didn't kill Marriott.
00:59:32 You found out
00:59:34 Knowing you, I'd say you overheard
00:59:37 making some sort of arrangements
00:59:41 You knew they had been holding hands.
00:59:43 - You didn't like that.
00:59:45 You don't like anybody
00:59:48 - Are you trying to reform her?
00:59:51 That doesn't make sense.
00:59:53 I hate her, but she's married to my father
00:59:57 I'm fond of my father.
01:00:00 It's not something you'd understand,
01:00:05 I just don't want anything to hurt him.
01:00:08 A guy playing around with his wife...
01:00:10 a guy like Marriott: That would hurt him.
01:00:12 If he killed Marriott, you'd protect him.
01:00:15 - There's no age limit on jealous husbands.
01:00:19 I don't buy it, either... yet.
01:00:22 I was just trying it on for size.
01:00:26 I don't know how you showed up at my
01:00:39 - Whose handwriting is this?
01:00:42 You went through his pockets?
01:00:45 - How'd you like to work for me?
01:00:49 I'm also tired of you.
01:00:51 I can't. There's a little bundle
01:00:56 who's playing at not looking like a cop.
01:00:58 But he's terrible at it.
01:01:01 Get rid of him.
01:01:02 Tell him you decided
01:01:11 - Yes?
01:01:14 - Well, I really don't...
01:01:16 Excuse me.
01:01:17 Thanks to you guys,
01:01:20 I've been looking for you for three days.
01:01:22 We were sitting down to soft-boiled eggs
01:01:26 The last time I saw you,
01:01:28 - I guess it didn't take.
01:01:32 I didn't get around to it. He got to me.
01:01:35 - He gave me quite a party.
01:01:40 What'll it buy me? This is straight.
01:01:43 You'd like to get Amthor,
01:01:46 He annoyed me a little.
01:01:50 I just get to finish my dinner.
01:01:53 - Okay.
01:01:59 Amthor's a tough cookie.
01:02:01 He works some complicated
01:02:03 who come to him
01:02:06 - I think Marriott was his contact man.
01:02:10 The jewelry Marriott was buying back
01:02:13 belonging to one of Amthor's patients,
01:02:19 Marriott might've been crossing Amthor.
01:02:22 - It's a lot of theory. Let's go.
01:02:26 He figured wrong. I disappointed him.
01:02:30 But he has a little rest home
01:02:34 It's operated by a guy
01:02:38 He's a whiz with a hypo.
01:02:45 - Who owns this jade?
01:02:50 - By the name of?
01:02:54 Sorry to bother you, Miss Grayle.
01:02:57 When were you out last
01:03:00 Not for several days. Is something wrong?
01:03:05 I'm buying your information this time.
01:03:08 I might get grateful and lock you up.
01:03:16 - How could he know about me?
01:03:19 That's what happens when a cop
01:03:22 Fix your face.
01:03:27 What is it?
01:03:29 It's funny.
01:03:31 Always have to stop and eat something.
01:03:43 You haven't got a razor, have you?
01:03:46 Never mind. I'll have to stop at my place,
01:03:50 I think I've got another one
01:03:55 - I'm a little beat for this kind of work.
01:04:00 You go barging around
01:04:03 Everybody bats you down,
01:04:06 fills you full of stuff...
01:04:08 and you keep right on hitting
01:04:11 I don't think you even know
01:04:14 I don't know which side anybody's on.
01:04:19 Whatever's happening,
01:04:22 - He's no match for anybody.
01:04:24 Randall probably picked up a scent
01:04:28 He may not have reached your father.
01:04:32 Skip the water and make that with scotch.
01:04:51 He must be in his workshop.
01:05:05 Father.
01:05:07 - What are you going to do?
01:05:12 - I am frightened.
01:05:15 - Yes. What's it all about?
01:05:19 Did they talk to your wife?
01:05:20 No. She's not been here
01:05:25 - Has she been with you?
01:05:29 They seemed interested principally
01:05:32 It was rented to Mr. Marriott
01:05:35 That probably held up Randall
01:05:38 - Okay. Let's have a look at it.
01:05:41 - Yeah, why not?
01:05:44 - The whole thing's gone too far.
01:05:48 I don't say you killed Marriott, but you
01:05:53 Look, pop, the cops are moving now.
01:05:56 They're going to tag somebody.
01:05:58 As long as I'm on the payroll,
01:06:01 I don't work by push buttons.
01:06:03 I stop and I go
01:06:07 Forgive me, Mr. Marlowe.
01:06:10 Forgive me, please.
01:06:13 It's unnecessary for me to say
01:06:17 I only have two interests in life:
01:06:21 And, of course, my daughter here.
01:06:25 But my wife's the most important.
01:06:28 - Do you find her beautiful?
01:06:31 She is beautiful, isn't she? And desirable.
01:06:34 Maybe you think it's improper for an
01:06:41 I've played a little game with myself.
01:06:44 I pretended that she would have
01:06:47 even if I'd been unable to give her wealth.
01:06:50 I've enjoyed pretending that.
01:06:52 It's given me great happiness.
01:06:58 But now I'm losing her. I don't know why.
01:07:02 I don't understand what's happened.
01:07:06 Ironic that it should be
01:07:08 Because of that, a man has died.
01:07:11 A paltry, foppish man of no consequence,
01:07:16 Nevertheless, he's dead
01:07:21 I don't know why. But it must stop.
01:07:25 It must stop, Mr. Marlowe! It must stop!
01:07:34 What do you want me to do about it?
01:07:36 You must go no further.
01:07:39 I'll pay you well.
01:07:43 Now this is beginning to make sense
01:07:46 I get dragged in, get money shoved at me.
01:07:50 Everybody pushes me in,
01:07:53 Nobody wants me to do anything.
01:07:58 Okay. Put a check in the mail.
01:08:01 I cost a lot not to do anything.
01:08:08 I'll be right back, Father.
01:08:19 - Have you got a key to the beach house?
01:08:23 I bowed out. I stopped. He thinks it's over.
01:08:27 These things don't work like that.
01:08:31 Do the police stop?
01:08:35 - What do you mean, "Does Helen stop?"
01:08:38 If I always knew what I meant,
01:08:40 But I know this. A cancer doesn't
01:08:44 You're vicious. You take some
01:08:49 in seeing people torn apart!
01:08:51 They're headed for it, anyway.
01:08:54 What you're hanging on to will smack you.
01:08:57 If I fold now, it smacks you later.
01:09:00 But cleaner.
01:09:03 I don't know, I'd stick anyway.
01:09:08 I don't want my kids to think
01:09:13 I could bust in,
01:09:18 You drive.
01:09:44 - Is that you?
01:09:47 That nice, expensive smell.
01:09:52 Quite a lad.
01:10:22 - Someone's been here.
01:10:26 That's the first thing Randall does
01:10:29 Mess up his house.
01:10:36 Here.
01:10:43 - Does that prove something?
01:10:46 Might have found my name
01:10:48 That's what he said he did.
01:10:50 Or maybe somebody phoned him
01:10:52 But you didn't have anything to do
01:10:56 - Or did you?
01:11:00 There are a lot of things I don't know.
01:11:03 - The only man who can tell me is dead.
01:11:07 Yeah. All I can do is keep guessing.
01:11:10 Let's get out of here
01:11:13 All I can do about you is guess.
01:11:15 You've only told me you went to the
01:11:20 I could guess
01:11:23 But when you found me out there
01:11:26 - Please, let's go. I'm awfully tired.
01:11:32 You know, that's a cute nose,
01:11:34 It isn't really crooked. It has a bump
01:11:38 Right there.
01:11:39 I was playing shortstop
01:11:48 I'm a pretty good guesser.
01:11:51 Your father really loves Helen.
01:11:54 Marriott did hurt him.
01:11:56 When I appeared, you were afraid
01:11:59 so you tried to buy me off.
01:12:01 That didn't work,
01:12:05 A real tough guesser might say
01:12:09 you decided to be nice to me.
01:12:12 I don't always guess right.
01:12:19 - I think I am wrong.
01:12:21 All men: Old men, young men...
01:12:24 beautiful young men who use rose water...
01:12:27 and almost-heels
01:12:33 I'm sorry, darling. I couldn't help laughing.
01:12:36 You should know by now
01:12:39 They soften you up, throw you off guard,
01:12:43 That was a dirty trick. But maybe
01:12:48 It's not that she doesn't like you.
01:12:51 That was only the first half of the speech.
01:12:55 I hate their women, too,
01:12:59 Beautiful, expensive babes
01:13:03 All bubble bath and dewy morning
01:13:07 and inside, blue-steel cold!
01:13:11 Cold like that, only not that clean.
01:13:15 Your slip shows, dear.
01:13:23 Father's worried.
01:13:29 - How long have you been here?
01:13:31 Smart. The cops won't be back.
01:13:35 You're good at throwing lambs
01:13:37 Or did you just happen to leave
01:13:40 Look, I'd like to get a few things straight.
01:13:45 You were going to help me, so you
01:13:48 and tell Amthor pick me up
01:13:51 - I'm sorry. I thought you had it.
01:13:55 Please don't blame me.
01:13:59 - Was it bad?
01:14:03 How long have you really known Amthor?
01:14:06 - I don't lie very well, do I?
01:14:10 It's a long story and not very pretty.
01:14:13 I got lots of time, and I'm not squeamish.
01:14:25 Amthor is blackmailing me.
01:14:30 I more or less figured that.
01:14:33 My husband is 65. He's in love with me.
01:14:37 I'm fond of him. I'm grateful.
01:14:43 I've gone out with other men.
01:14:48 - I find men very attractive.
01:14:54 When I first knew Marriott, I didn't realize
01:14:58 And it took me a while
01:15:02 - because he did me a lot of good.
01:15:05 He treated my centers of speech.
01:15:10 - I have a psychological impediment.
01:15:14 You talk as good as I do now.
01:15:16 His system is partly mumbo-jumbo
01:15:20 He flatters you. He gets into your past.
01:15:24 You talk and talk and...
01:15:28 That's the awful way he works:
01:15:33 Finally, he asked for the jade.
01:15:36 I agreed. I had no choice.
01:15:39 He threatened to go to my husband.
01:15:42 Sounds like quite a past.
01:15:45 A younger man
01:15:48 or get drunk or divorce me...
01:15:51 but he's not young.
01:15:53 I think it would kill him.
01:16:00 I couldn't risk it, so I agreed.
01:16:02 Before I could turn the jade
01:16:05 The man who took it made it clear...
01:16:07 that if I called the police,
01:16:12 That makes it an outfit
01:16:15 or an outfit tipped off
01:16:18 Somebody who knew what he knew.
01:16:21 - Could've been Marriott.
01:16:23 If he had thought Amthor suspected him,
01:16:28 - Could be.
01:16:30 I'm sure Amthor decided
01:16:32 He may even have counted on you
01:16:36 It's rough, but I'll buy it up to there.
01:16:38 He'd hand your past to your husband
01:16:42 You decided to play ball, but the jade
01:16:46 Amthor caught on and killed him.
01:16:50 I want you to help me kill Amthor.
01:16:57 It's the only way I'll ever have peace.
01:17:00 Once these things get started,
01:17:02 He'll never be satisfied
01:17:05 Why me? Because I'm handy
01:17:08 Or just because I wear pants?
01:17:10 Don't say that. Please, I need you so.
01:17:14 I'm lost.
01:17:16 I haven't been good, nor halfway good.
01:17:19 I haven't even been very smart,
01:17:23 and peace.
01:17:27 I need you.
01:17:33 All right. Got anything worked out?
01:17:36 But I can't find him.
01:17:38 That's probably my fault.
01:17:41 I tossed them Sonderborg.
01:17:44 Even if we find him, we've got to be good
01:17:47 He works at this stuff.
01:17:49 Make it simple.
01:17:50 Tell him you're ready to sell,
01:17:53 Have I?
01:17:54 He won't expect you to have it on you.
01:17:56 He'll need time to get the money.
01:18:00 - For instance?
01:18:01 - What if he sends a stooge?
01:18:05 Okay, he comes. Then what?
01:18:07 That's my part.
01:18:09 - All right. I'll dig him up.
01:18:12 I'd better get a little work done
01:18:16 You're wonderful.
01:18:18 How would you like
01:18:22 Wouldn't bother me. Got any ideas?
01:18:26 When will you be back?
01:18:27 He's slippery. It may not be easy.
01:18:30 I better not come out till tomorrow night.
01:18:54 I went in the way I knew about.
01:18:56 It was simpler...
01:18:58 and I had a psychological trick
01:19:02 I thought it would give him a bang.
01:19:05 I thought it would kill him.
01:19:46 He wasn't hurt much.
01:19:49 the way a pretty girl
01:19:52 Only, for this job,
01:19:55 with a big pair of hands.
01:20:36 I got to find her now. I got to go away.
01:20:39 Sounds like a good idea.
01:20:41 You might get unpopular
01:20:46 I know you didn't mean to kill him.
01:20:49 You don't know your own strength.
01:20:53 - You find her?
01:20:58 That's your girl, isn't it?
01:21:00 That's Velma. It says,
01:21:04 I don't like nobody to kid with me.
01:21:05 Nobody's kidding with you.
01:21:08 I thought it was a phony.
01:21:11 That was meant to nip up anybody
01:21:14 She wasn't like that.
01:21:17 Cute.
01:21:18 Okay, she was as cute as a cap pistol.
01:21:22 Do you want to see her
01:21:25 You mean you find her now?
01:21:27 Yeah, I find her. Just now.
01:21:29 - She's okay?
01:21:32 - She's doing all right?
01:21:35 Did you tip the johns off on her?
01:21:37 I wouldn't want Velma to serve no stretch.
01:21:41 What stretch?
01:21:44 You tipped the johns off. They got her.
01:21:46 Listen to me, and stop dancing with me.
01:21:48 The johns haven't got her.
01:21:52 She wants to talk to you.
01:21:54 Of course, things have changed a little
01:21:57 - Okay.
01:22:02 I'd like to pay you some more
01:22:08 Skip it.
01:22:09 Here. Grab yourself a hamburger
01:22:12 See you here tomorrow
01:22:29 - You got that?
01:22:31 - What do you do?
01:22:34 When do you come up?
01:22:37 You open the window.
01:22:38 I open the curtains. You'll see the light.
01:22:41 I've got to get set, so don't jump the gun.
01:22:44 I'll leave the door open.
01:22:48 That was like lighting a stick of dynamite
01:22:52 But I had to know one more thing.
01:22:54 I had to know how the jade figured.
01:23:30 You're trembling.
01:23:31 I was afraid something had happened.
01:23:34 Did you find Amthor?
01:23:36 He's gone undercover.
01:23:38 Let's get set. What's the program?
01:23:41 Pull the curtains and turn on the lights.
01:24:10 You told Amthor
01:24:18 Don't you like it?
01:24:21 I don't know.
01:24:23 I've never seen a necklace
01:24:28 Where'd you get it?
01:24:29 Lower left-hand drawer
01:24:31 It was never stolen?
01:24:34 There wasn't any holdup?
01:24:36 You faked the whole thing.
01:24:38 I wasn't going to let him get it.
01:24:42 I'm not going to let him get it now.
01:24:45 We'll just let him look at it.
01:24:47 Last time, he tossed his gun at me.
01:24:50 He'll never get that far.
01:24:52 Let's not talk about it now.
01:24:54 It's really quite simple.
01:24:58 You're much too nice
01:25:03 You told Marriott
01:25:06 It had to look real. They had to believe
01:25:10 I had to pretend to buy it back.
01:25:12 - Marriott fell for that?
01:25:18 I didn't really like him.
01:25:21 He wasn't any good.
01:25:23 But remembering
01:25:26 You still think Amthor killed him?
01:25:28 Who else?
01:25:31 You.
01:25:33 No.
01:25:36 No, you can't mean that.
01:25:44 Why?
01:25:45 I think the picture was a little different.
01:25:47 Marriott was scared because he'd agreed
01:25:52 the one Mrs. Florian phoned him about.
01:25:54 He had to help you to protect his interest.
01:25:57 You knew that.
01:25:58 You belonged to him, and to Amthor...
01:26:00 and to Mrs. Florian, in her modest way.
01:26:04 They didn't want me cutting in, either.
01:26:06 You wouldn't be worth blackmailing
01:26:10 He might even have hurt you.
01:26:12 And if Marriott hadn't been scared silly...
01:26:15 he'd have realized you were pushing
01:26:19 One of us would get out of the car.
01:26:22 Either way, you had us separated.
01:26:25 Then you'd tag us one at a time
01:26:33 It might have worked, too,
01:26:36 But my head's pretty hard, and killing
01:26:40 Please don't!
01:26:42 It's all true.
01:26:44 Suddenly, I was trapped.
01:26:47 - I didn't know what I was doing!
01:26:51 - I almost ended up as dead as Marriott.
01:26:54 I can't go back now.
01:26:57 I'm so close to peace, so close.
01:27:00 Just Amthor.
01:27:03 But I can't face it alone.
01:27:05 Don't desert me now.
01:27:07 Sorry. It won't work twice.
01:27:13 It's a good technique,
01:27:16 I don't count the first time,
01:27:19 You were just learning.
01:27:21 I don't know what you talked him into.
01:27:23 Was it murder or something serious?
01:27:27 You almost had me, sister,
01:27:31 Sure, Amthor's blackmailing you,
01:27:35 It wasn't just men.
01:27:39 That was part of the setup:
01:27:43 It was the clink coming up.
01:27:45 It's no good understanding the clink.
01:27:48 You still don't get silk sheets.
01:27:50 Don't do that.
01:27:53 I've kept forgetting to tell you...
01:27:56 that you shouldn't kiss a girl
01:27:59 It leaves a bruise.
01:28:02 I'll try to remember that.
01:28:03 I could like you.
01:28:06 I could like you a lot.
01:28:08 It's too bad it has to be like this.
01:28:14 Don't move.
01:28:17 Come in.
01:28:24 Your sense of timing, dear,
01:28:27 I'm to blame. I insisted on coming.
01:28:31 Why didn't you tell me
01:28:35 I wanted to spare you.
01:28:36 I might have been able
01:28:40 Now, of course, it's too late.
01:28:43 Mr. Amthor's coming.
01:28:46 I think, perhaps, you'd better do it quickly.
01:28:54 Get his gun.
01:28:58 This'll be the first time I've killed anyone
01:29:03 What's your first name?
01:29:05 Philip, for short.
01:29:08 Philip Marlowe. A name for a duke.
01:29:12 And you're just a nice mug.
01:29:14 I've got a name for a duchess:
01:29:19 Just a couple of mugs.
01:29:22 We could have got along.
01:29:24 What's stopping us now?
01:29:28 He broke Amthor's neck
01:29:36 Then that leaves only you.
01:29:37 I don't want to do anything
01:29:40 You know too much.
01:29:42 It's gone too far...
01:29:45 and I'm so tired.
01:30:09 Let's have the police.
01:30:12 Don't you realize he saved your life?
01:30:14 Why must he suffer for that?
01:30:17 The cops like to solve murders
01:30:19 She's dead. Isn't that enough?
01:30:21 She was evil, all evil.
01:30:23 What difference can it possibly make
01:30:31 You don't call me. I hear it, so I come up.
01:30:38 I'd like to talk to Velma now.
01:30:41 It didn't work out
01:30:45 You got a refund coming.
01:30:59 She ain't hardly changed.
01:31:02 Just like always...
01:31:05 only more fancy.
01:31:08 Cute as lace pants... always.
01:31:13 I wasn't going to bother her none
01:31:17 It was the only thing I could do.
01:31:20 You must try and understand.
01:31:23 I couldn't let her go.
01:31:26 I loved her too much.
01:31:28 You shouldn't have killed her.
01:31:32 - You shouldn't have killed Velma.
01:31:50 That old black pit opened up again,
01:31:54 It was blacker than the others, and deeper.
01:31:57 I didn't expect to hit bottom.
01:32:00 I thought I was full of lead.
01:32:04 That's all I know.
01:32:06 On account of I don't see so well
01:32:10 I heard the shots. I didn't fire them.
01:32:15 It wasn't the kid, was it? It wasn't Ann?
01:32:19 Randall!
01:32:20 He'll be back in a minute.
01:32:24 How soon do I get
01:32:27 A couple months, if you live that long.
01:32:39 - You mean I'm sprung?
01:32:42 I'll have the statement
01:32:44 Who backed me up?
01:32:47 Who got shot? I heard three.
01:32:49 - Malloy.
01:32:51 Yeah. And Grayle.
01:32:52 He didn't go down right away.
01:32:55 Grayle got the third slug himself.
01:32:58 The kid's okay, then.
01:33:01 She thought it over
01:33:04 I didn't say.
01:33:06 She here now?
01:33:09 No. Okay, Nulty. See that he gets home.
01:33:13 You give going-away presents here?
01:33:15 That's yours.
01:33:18 She was going to,
01:33:21 Anyway, I tried it on.
01:33:24 What am I supposed to do with it?
01:33:26 Give it to your girlfriend.
01:33:29 Strangle yourself with it! I don't care.
01:33:34 What do you know about that redhead,
01:33:37 - How'd she take it about the old man?
01:33:42 Cute figure, huh?
01:33:45 - I didn't notice.
01:33:51 - She had more than a figure, too.
01:33:55 Not a beautiful face, but a good face.
01:33:57 A face like a Sunday school picnic.
01:33:59 - You know what kind of a face that is?
01:34:04 It's too bad I had to push her around.
01:34:07 I wonder how she figured me.
01:34:10 Maybe she thought
01:34:13 Probably thought there was more.
01:34:16 I'd like to tell her.
01:34:18 No, there wouldn't be
01:34:21 I wouldn't know. Hey, cab.
01:34:28 Watch your head.
01:34:30 - 1800 South Kingsley.
01:34:50 She made swell coffee, anyway.
01:34:54 Nulty.
01:34:56 I haven't kissed anybody in a long time.
01:34:59 Would it be all right if I kissed you, Nulty?
01:35:23 English
