:37:01
I came up here in good faith,
then both of them attacked me.
:37:04
Then when he went out to talk to you
he left her here with a pistol.
:37:07
She said as soon as you leave
they'll kill me...
:37:10
...so I called for help. I didn't want you
to leave me to be murdered.
:37:13
And then she struck me with the pistol!
:37:15
Why don't you make him tell the truth?
:37:18
Wait a minute!
:37:20
That's no way to act!
:37:21
I don't guess we'll be wrong
runnin' the lot of 'em in.
:37:24
Don't be in a hurry.
Everything can be explained.
:37:26
I'll bet.
:37:27
Miss O'Shaughnessy, Lieutenant Dundy
and Detective Sergeant Polhaus.
:37:31
Miss O'Shaughnessy is an operative
in my employ since yesterday.
:37:35
That's a lie, too!
:37:36
That is Mr. Joel Cairo.
:37:38
Cairo was an acquaintance of Thursby's.
He came to my office late this afternoon...
:37:42
...and hired me to find something Thursby
had on him when he was bumped off.
:37:46
It looked funny to me the way he put it,
so I wouldn't touch it.
:37:49
Then he pulled a gun on me.
That's neither here nor there...
:37:52
...unless we start preferring charges
against each other.
:37:56
Miss O'Shaughnessy and I discussed
the matter and decided to find out...
:37:59
...exactly how much he knew
about Miles' and Thursby's killings...
:38:03
...so we asked him to come here.
:38:04
Now, maybe we did put the questions
to him a little roughly....
:38:08
You know how that is, Lieutenant?
:38:10
But we didn't hurt him enough
to make him cry for help.
:38:13
-What have you got to say to that?
-I don't know what to say.
:38:16
Try tellin' the facts.
:38:17
-What? Facts?
-Quit stallin'.
:38:19
Just swear out a complaint they took
a poke at you and I'll throw 'em in the can.
:38:23
Go ahead, Cairo. Tell him you'll do it.
:38:25
Then we'll swear out a complaint
against you and he'll have the lot of us.
:38:29
Get your hats.
:38:30
Well, boys and girls, we put it over nicely!
:38:34
Go on, get your hats!
:38:35
Don't you know when you're bein' kidded?
:38:37
No, but that can wait till we get
to the Hall.
:38:39
Wake up, Dundy, you're being kidded!
:38:41
When I heard the buzzer, I said:
:38:44
"There's the police again.
They're getting to be a nuisance!
:38:47
"When you hear them, scream.
:38:49
"Then we'll see how far we can string 'em
till they tumble."
:38:52
Stop it, Sam!
:38:53
How'd that cut on his head get there?
:38:55
-Ask him. Maybe he cut himself shaving.
-The cut? No.
:38:58
When we pretended to be struggling
for the gun, I fell over the carpet. I fell.
