:23:01
But that was something
he wasn't going to try to explain.
:23:04
Soak it, please. Know Mrs. Potter?
:23:06
I did her at her apartment.
It looks like a reform school.
:23:09
Her seven daughters are total gangsters.
Know Mrs. Stephen Haines?
:23:12
Why, yes. L...
:23:13
I guess Mrs. Fowler told you about that.
She feels awful sorry for her.
:23:17
I don't.
:23:19
- You would if you knew this girl.
- What girl?
:23:22
Crystal Allen.
:23:24
Yes. You know,
the girl who hooked Mr. Haines.
:23:27
Don't you like the file?
:23:29
This Crystal Allen is a friend of mine.
She's a terrible mantrap. Soak it, please.
:23:34
She's behind the perfume counter
at Black's. So was I, before I got fired.
:23:38
Left. That's how she met him.
:23:41
Met Stephen Haines?
:23:43
It was a couple of months ago.
Us girls wasn't busy.
:23:46
It was an awful rainy day.
:23:48
This gentleman walks up to the counter.
Crystal nabs him.
:23:52
"I want some perfume," he says.
:23:53
"May I ask what type of woman for?"
Crystal says.
:23:56
That didn't mean a thing. She was going
to sell him Summer Rain, our feature.
:24:00
Crystal goes on conning him,
and batting her eyes.
:24:03
She's got those eyes that
run up and down a man like a searchlight.
:24:07
She puts perfume in her palm and in
the crook of her arm for him to smell.
:24:11
He got to smelling around,
and I guess he liked it.
:24:14
Since then, they've been inseparable,
practically every evening.
:24:17
Did I hurt? Jungle Red, I suppose?
One coat, or two?
:24:23
Never mind.
:24:26
But I thought that's what you came in for?
All of Mrs. Fowler's friends...
:24:30
I think I got
what all Mrs. Fowler's friends come for.
:24:33
Thanks. Goodbye.
I'll tell her you were in, Mrs...
:24:38
Mrs. Stephen Haines.
:24:45
Mrs. Haines, I'm sorry.
Is there something I can do?
:24:49
- Just stop telling that story.
- Sure, I will.
:24:53
- Please don't tell anyone you told it to me.
- I won't. I promise.
:24:58
That would be kind of humiliating for you.
I mean, Crystal's a terrible girl.
