:52:01
Don't be foolish. You know what it is.
I know where it is.

:52:04
Well, sir, where is it?
:52:06
You see, I must tell you what I know,
but you won't tell me what you know.

:52:10
It's hardly equitable, sir.
:52:12
No, no. I don't think we can do business
along those lines.

:52:16
Well, think again, and think fast!
:52:18
I told that gunsel of yours
you'd have to talk to me!

:52:20
You'll talk to me today, or you are through!
:52:23
Why are you wasting my time?
I can get along without you!

:52:26
And another thing:
:52:27
Keep that gunsel out of my way
while you decide.

:52:29
I'll kill him, if you don't!
:52:31
Well, sir, I must say you have
a most violent temper.

:52:35
Think it over. You've got till 5:00.
:52:38
Then you're either in or out, for keeps!
:53:04
- Who killed Thursby?
- I don't know.

:53:06
But you could make an excellent guess.
:53:08
My guess might be excellent or crummy...
:53:11
...but Mrs. Spade didn't raise children
dippy enough to guess...

:53:14
...in front of a DA, an assistant DA
and a stenographer.

:53:17
Why not, if you've nothing to conceal?
:53:19
Everybody has something to conceal.
:53:21
I'm a sworn officer of the law
24 hours a day...

:53:24
...and neither formality nor informality
justifies you withholding...

:53:27
...the evidence of crime from me
except on constitutional grounds.

:53:31
You and the police have as much
as accused me...

:53:33
...of being mixed up in the murders.
:53:35
I've had trouble with both of you before,
and as far as I can see...

:53:38
...my best chance of clearing myself
of the trouble...

:53:41
...is by bringing in the murderers
all tied up.

:53:43
The only chance I have of catching them
and bringing them in...

:53:46
...is by staying away from you
because you'd only gum up the works.

:53:49
You getting this or am I goin' too fast?
:53:51
- No, sir. I'm getting it all right.
- Good work.

:53:54
If you want to tell the board
I'm obstructing justice...

:53:57
...and ask them to revoke my license,
hop to it.

:53:59
You tried it before and it didn't get you
anything but a good laugh.
