:37:00
You don't think I done it?
:37:03
I know you cops
get crazy notions...
:37:06
but if you got any notion
concerning me-
:37:08
Ask anyone-
anyone who ever come to this house.
:37:12
I would have
worked for her.
:37:14
I would have washed,
ironed, scrubbed...
:37:16
done everything she wanted of me,
whether she paid me for it or not.
:37:19
And it wasn't only on account of the
thousand sweet things she done for me.
:37:23
It was because she was
so sweet herself...
:37:26
because she was
a real fine lady.
:37:31
But you cops
wouldn't know about that.
:37:35
But you do. That's all the more reason
why you should help me, Bessie.
:37:40
Do you happen to know how this got into
her liquor cabinet?
:37:45
I put it there.
:37:47
But she never bought cheap stuff like
that- not a lady like Miss Hunt.
:37:50
- No.
- When did you put it in the cabinet?
:37:53
- Saturday.
- Before the police came.
:37:55
- Was it there Friday night before you left?
- No.
:37:59
Are you sure of that?
:38:01
I cleaned out
the cabinet on Friday...
:38:04
and put the empties
in the basement.
:38:07
Then somebody was with her
in the apartment Friday night...
:38:10
someone
who brought that bottle.
:38:12
- Yes.
- Who?
:38:14
I don't know,
but I didn't want anyone...
:38:16
getting any wrong ideas about her,
God rest her soul.
:38:19
That's why I took it out of the bedroom
and put it in the cabinet...
:38:22
before the police got here.
:38:24
And that ain't all I done.
:38:27
I washed out the glasses
and cleaned off the bottle too.
:38:30
Do you know what happens to people
who destroy evidence?
:38:33
I don't care.
:38:36
You ain't gonna tell
the newspaper reporters, are ya...
:38:38
and let them make up
their nasty stories...
:38:40
and drag her name
through the mud?
:38:43
Go ahead,
but it won't do you any good.
:38:46
- I'll say you lied. I'll say-
- Take it easy, Bessie.
:38:49
Get me some ice
and a setup, will you?
:38:52
All right.
:38:54
A couple of highball glasses.
