:26:01
...why did you risk serious injury
to prevent my searching?
:26:04
Why should I sit here
and let people come in and stick me up?
:26:07
Certainly it is only natural
that I try to save the owner...
:26:10
...such a considerable expense if possible.
:26:12
Who is he?
:26:13
Mr. Spade, you'll forgive
my not answering that question.
:26:17
I think we'd be better off all around
if we'd put our cards on the table.
:26:20
No, I do not think it would be better.
:26:23
You see, if you know more than I do,
then I shall profit by your knowledge.
:26:28
So will you, to the extent of $5,000.
:26:31
There's nothing like $5,000 here.
:26:33
You want some assurance of my sincerity?
:26:36
-A retainer? Would that do?
-It might.
:26:38
You will take, say, $100?
:26:40
No. I will take, say, $200.
:26:43
Your first guess was that I had the bird.
There's nothing to that.
:26:47
What's your second guess?
:26:48
That you know where it is, or at least
you know it is where you can get it.
:26:52
You're not hiring me to do murders
or burglaries...
:26:54
...but simply to get it back if possible,
in an honest, lawful way?
:26:58
If possible. But...
:27:00
...in any case, with discretion.
:27:04
When you wish to contact me, sir,
I'm staying at the Hotel Belvedere...
:27:08
...Room 635.
:27:11
I sincerely expect
the greatest mutual benefit...
:27:14
...from our association, Mr. Spade.
:27:17
May I please have my gun now?
:27:19
Oh, sure. I'd forgotten all about it.
:27:23
You will please clasp your hands together
at the back of your neck.
:27:26
I intend to search your offices.
:27:28
Well, I'll be....
:27:33
Why, sure.
:27:35
Go ahead. I won't stop you.
