:21:01
It's that kind of a case, with the witnesses
gagged and the papers crying for news?
:21:05
I'll get them their murderer.
:21:07
You'll get him about the time
you get your third set of teeth.
:21:11
Okay. Go on home to bed.
:21:13
Stick to your story if you want.
Play it dumb, play it any way...
:21:17
but stay out of my way.
:21:19
And stay out of the way of Marriott's pals.
:21:21
I've been after these boys for a long time,
and I'm close. I'll get them.
:21:24
So watch your step...
:21:26
or I may have to pick you up
in the same basket with Jules Amthor.
:21:31
Yeah?
:21:34
- Is Amthor mixed up in this?
- So you know him, then?
:21:37
I know lots of people in this town...
:21:40
but I never heard of Jules Amthor.
It's a bad guess.
:21:49
Business is getting better. And prettier.
:21:57
Mr. Marlowe, I'm Miss Allison, The Post.
:22:01
The police aren't being helpful
on the Marriott case. I wonder...
:22:04
How did you know about me?
:22:05
I have friends at the City Hall, naturally.
That's my business.
:22:09
I'd just get you in a lot of trouble.
:22:11
Did Marriott tell you
who owned the jade he was buying back?
:22:15
They'll never know where I heard it,
but if I know something...
:22:18
I'll be in a much better
bargaining position down there.
:22:22
Come in, Miss Allison. Have a seat.
:22:26
No, I wasn't told who owned the jade.
Didn't seem to be any of my business.
:22:30
- Had you known Marriott some time?
- A couple of weeks. Why?
:22:34
Did you have any theories about what
happened, or was supposed to happen?
:22:38
One or two.
:22:40
- You do your own typing, Miss Allison?
- Why, yes.
:22:44
I'm not always this brilliant, Miss...
:22:47
Miss Grayle.
:22:49
But I'm improving.
:22:51
What do you do besides playing reporter?
:22:57
You're a hot rock anyway.
I should toss you to the cops.
