:06:01
I killed Dietrichson.
:06:03
Me, Walter Neff
:06:05
insurance salesman, 35 years old,
unmarried, no visible scars.
:06:11
Until a little while ago, that is.
:06:15
Yes, I killed him.
:06:18
I killed him for money
:06:20
and a woman
:06:23
and I didn't get the money and I...
:06:27
didn't get the woman.
:06:30
Pretty, isn't it?
:06:45
It began last May.
:06:49
About the end of May, it was.
:06:52
I had to run out to Glendale
to deliver a policy on some dairy trucks.
:06:56
On the way back I remembered
this auto renewal on Los Feliz Blvd.
:07:00
So I decided to run over there.
:07:02
It was one of those California spanish houses
everyone was nuts about 10 or 15 years ago.
:07:07
This one must have cost somebody
about 30,000 bucks
:07:10
that is, if he ever finished
paying for it.
:07:15
- Mr. Dietrichson in?
- Who wants to see him?
:07:18
- The name is Neff. Walter Neff.
- If you're selling something...
:07:21
It's Mr. Dietrichson I'd like to talk to,
and it's not magazine subscriptions.
:07:24
Listen, Mr. Dietrichson's not in.
:07:26
How soon do you expect him?
:07:27
He'll be home when he gets here,
if that's any help to you.
:07:29
- What is it, Nettie? Who is it?
- It's for Mr. Dietrichson.
:07:33
- I'm Mrs. Dietrichson. What is it?
- How do you do, Mrs. Dietrichson.
:07:37
- I'm Walter Neff, Pacific All-Risk.
- Pacific all-what?
:07:40
Pacific All-Risk Insurance Company.
It's about some renewals on the automobiles.
:07:44
I've been trying to contact your husband
for the past two weeks.
:07:46
...but he's never at his office.
:07:48
Is there anything I can do?
:07:50
The insurance ran out on the fifteenth.
I'd hate to think of your getting
:07:53
a smashed fender or something
while you're not fully covered.
:07:58
Perhaps I know what you mean, Mr. Neff.
