: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.
:08:00
- I've just been taking a sun bath.
- No pigeons around, I hope...
:08:05
About those policies, Mrs. Dietrichson...
I hate to take up your time...
:08:08
That's all right.
:08:09
If you can wait till I put something on,
I'll be right down.
:08:12
Nettie, show Mr. Neff into the living room.
:08:18
- Where would the living room be?
- In there, but they keep the liquor locked up.
:08:22
That's okay. I always carry my own keys.
:08:32
The living room was still stuffy
from last night's cigars.
:08:37
The windows were closed
and the sunshine coming in through
:08:38
the Venetian blinds
showed up the dust in the air.
:08:43
On the piano, in couple of fancy frames,
were Mr. Dietrichson and Lola...
:08:47
his daughter by his first wife.
:08:50
They had a bowl of those little red
goldfish on the table behind the davenport,
:08:56
but, to tell you the truth, Keyes...
:08:57
I wasn't a whole lot interested
in goldfish right then.
