:02:10
I noted that his attention
was fixed upon my clock.
:02:15
There was only one other
in existence...
:02:17
and that was
in Laura's apartment...
:02:20
in the very room
where she was murdered.
:02:27
Careful there.
That stuff is priceless.
:02:31
Come in here, please.
:02:40
Mr. Lydecker?
:02:42
Ah, you recognize me.
How splendid.
:02:44
Sit down, please.
:02:49
Nice little place
you have here, Mr. Lydecker.
:02:52
It's lavish,
but I call it home.
:02:55
I suppose you're here
about the Laura Hunt murder.
:02:58
Yesterday morning,
after Laura's body was found...
:03:00
I was questioned
by Sergeants McAvity and Schultz...
:03:04
and I stated...
:03:06
"On Friday night, Laura had a dinner
engagement with me...
:03:09
"after which she was ostensibly
going out of town.
:03:12
"She phoned and canceled
our engagement at exactly 7:00.
:03:17
- After that I-''
- You "ate a lonely dinner...
:03:19
then got into the tub to read.''
:03:22
Why did you
write it down?
:03:24
Afraid you'd forget it?
:03:26
I am the most widely
misquoted man in America.
:03:30
When my friends do it,
I resent it.
:03:33
From Sergeants McAvity and Schultz,
I should find it intolerable.
:03:36
Hand me that washcloth,
please, Mr.-
:03:39
Mr.-
:03:41
McPherson.
:03:43
McPherson. McPherson.
:03:46
Mark McPherson-
the siege of Babylon, Long Island.
:03:49
The gangster with the machine gun.
Killed three policemen.
:03:51
I told the story over the air
and wrote a column about it.
:03:54
Are you the one
with the leg full oflead...
:03:56
- the man who walked right in and got him?
- Yeah.
:03:58
Well, well.
Hand me my robe, please.
