:58:00
The girl was there in the mountains?
:58:02
- But only for one night.
- One night is enough.
:58:04
You told your wife you'd been
called to Washington, remember?
:58:07
Yes, like it was yesterday.
:58:08
Yeah, but you lied.
You didn't go to Washington.
:58:11
You went to Allenbury Lodge
for a rendezvous with Connie.
:58:13
Our private detective
will swear he followed you.
:58:15
- But her father was there.
- That was a blind.
:58:17
- She left the following morning.
- Sure. A guilty conscience.
:58:21
- You're insane.
- What a mind.
:58:23
Now I know where you get those
stories about working nights.
:58:26
Then you come home,
you're indifferent to your wife.
:58:29
You fight with her.
:58:30
It's as neat a case
for alienation of affection...
:58:32
as I've ever seen,
and we slap it on tomorrow!
:58:34
- No, we don't.
- Why don't we?
:58:36
Because you can't get away with it.
:58:38
They'd throw that case out of
any court in the world. You, too.
:58:41
Not if I wear blue.
I'm awfully appealing in blue.
:58:43
A: I was Allenbury's guest, not Connie's.
B: I was never alone with her. C...
:58:47
- I know the alphabet.
- But you haven't got a leg to stand on.
:58:51
Take it easy, will you?
:58:52
I'm getting a real in with the family...
:58:54
and I'm developing an open-and-shut case.
:58:56
We're gonna file suit tomorrow.
:58:57
Be at Britton & Britton's office at 9:00,
and I can catch that noon edition.
:59:01
You'd make your crippled grandmother
do a fan dance for that paper.
:59:04
Now, Gladdie.
:59:06
Wait a minute.
:59:07
Give me one week and I guarantee
to put her in a real spot.
:59:10
Not a chance. She's walked out
on you twice already.
:59:13
You know, Bill, I'm beginning to think
you've lost your touch.
:59:16
- Goodbye, Gladdie. Don't be late.
- Aren't you gonna kiss me goodbye?
:59:22
Well.
:59:24
That's Warren for you.
:59:26
Crazy about me,
but boy, how he conceals it.
:59:31
- What's the matter with you?
- I just can't make him out.
:59:35
I can understand
he's tossing me to the dogs for the paper.
:59:38
- But to do it to the girl he loves...
- Who's tossing whom to what dogs?
:59:42
If he goes through with this
in the morning...
:59:44
by tomorrow night, we'll all be in jail.
:59:46
- Jail?
- Jail.
:59:48
I don't get you.
It's the plan we've had right along.
:59:50
Yeah, but we haven't enough evidence
to convince a backward child.
:59:53
If we spring this, the Allenburys are bound
to smell a frame-up!
:59:56
- Do you really think so?
- I'm sure of it.
:59:59
But to think that he'd do this to you.
