:16:04
Have Miles' desk moved out of the office...
:16:07
...and have "Spade and Archer" taken off
the doors and windows, and...
:16:10
...have "Samuel Spade" put on.
:16:26
Come in, Mr. Spade.
:16:30
Everything's upside down.
I haven't finished unpacking. Sit down.
:16:41
Mr. Spade, l...
:16:43
...l have a terrible,
terrible confession to make.
:16:47
That story I told you yesterday...
:16:50
...was just a story.
:16:51
Oh, that. Well, we didn't exactly
believe your story, Miss....
:16:55
What is your name, Wonderly or LeBlanc?
:16:57
It's O'Shaughnessy. Brigid O'Shaughnessy.
:16:59
We didn't exactly believe your story.
:17:02
We believed your $200.
:17:03
You mean--
:17:04
You paid us more
than if you'd told the truth...
:17:07
...and enough more to make it all right.
:17:09
Tell me, Mr. Spade,
am I to blame for last night?
:17:12
You warned us that Thursby
was dangerous.
:17:14
You lied to us about your sister
and all that, but we didn't believe you.
:17:18
No, I wouldn't say that you were at fault.
:17:20
Thank you.
:17:22
Mr. Archer was so alive yesterday...
:17:24
-...so solid and hearty, and--
-Stop it.
:17:27
He knew what he was doing.
Those are the chances we take.
:17:30
Was he married?
:17:31
Yeah, with $10,000 insurance, no children,
and a wife that didn't like him.
:17:34
-Please don't.
-That's the way it was.
:17:37
Anyway, there's no time for worrying
about that now.
:17:40
Out there's a flock of policemen
and assistant DAs...
:17:43
...running around with their noses
to the ground.
:17:46
Mr. Spade, do they know about me?
:17:49
Not yet. I've been stalling 'em
until I could see you.
:17:52
Do they have to know?
:17:53
Can't you shield me so I won't have
to answer their questions?
:17:56
Maybe, but I gotta know
what it's all about.
:17:59
I can't tell you.
