:56:01
He was talking with someone,
having an argument in a corner...
:56:04
...at the arena last night.
:56:06
That's rather important
in a murder case.
:56:08
I see. And you thought
it might have been me.
:56:11
Well, it was a girl about your size.
I thought it might be well to run down...
:56:15
...the lead without checking
with the police first.
:56:18
I can't imagine
why you should think that...
:56:26
Do you know, I think
it might have been me.
:56:28
I was standing in the lobby
with Mr. Stephens when Whitey...
:56:32
Mr. Barrow came along,
and he took me to my seat.
:56:36
- On the way, we stopped to chat.
- Oh, well.
:56:39
I'm glad you remembered.
:56:41
It was silly of me to forget.
But it wasn't an argument.
:56:46
On the contrary, we just...
:56:49
We just chatted about...
About a mutual friend.
:56:54
Don't we all?
:56:56
Well, I'm glad we cleared it up.
:56:58
Now I can forget about it
and concentrate on prettier things.
:57:02
You know, you're really not
like a detective at all, Mr. Charles.
:57:06
You don't pound the table
or shout or threaten.
:57:10
I'm not really a detective.
:57:12
I just use that as an excuse
to get out of the house at night.
:57:16
I don't suppose you enjoyed those
wrestling bouts very much last night.
:57:20
- You left quite early, huh?
- I found it a bit too brutal.
:57:22
It gave me a headache.
:57:24
Yes, especially when that fat clown
broke his arm.
:57:27
That was dreadful.
:57:30
But that was next to the last bout.
:57:32
Then Mr. Stephens didn't take you home
before the murder.
:57:35
Yes, he did. I didn't see that bout.
I read about it in the morning papers.
:57:43
You are a detective after all.
:57:46
Why did Whitey Barrow have
to take you into a secluded corner...
:57:49
...to chat about a mutual friend?
:57:51
We just happened to meet
in a secluded corner.
:57:53
Mr. Charles, this cross-examination
is becoming a bit tiresome.
:57:57
I'm sorry, but you said that Barrow
was taking you to your seat.
