:27:03
- Would you mind...
- No. Not at all.
:27:06
I didn't think
there were enough murders these days...
:27:09
to make detecting very attractive
to a young man.
:27:12
I stir up trouble on the side.
:27:15
How much money
was in Marriott's envelope?
:27:17
$8,000.
:27:18
- Cheap at the price.
- Dirt cheap.
:27:20
We guessed
they didn't know its real value.
:27:24
Who knew you'd be wearing the necklace
this particular night?
:27:27
My maid, perhaps,
but she's had a hundred chances.
:27:30
- Besides, I trust her.
- Why?
:27:32
I don't know. I trust some people.
:27:35
- I trust you.
- Did you trust Marriott?
:27:38
Not in some things. In others, yes.
There are degrees.
:27:43
I thought detectives were heavy drinkers.
:27:46
Some of them are.
:27:48
Some of them just encourage
other people to drink.
:27:51
- Shall I tell you about the holdup?
- It might help.
:27:54
Lin and I had been out dancing.
He was bringing me home.
:27:57
- Where were you stopped?
- Near here.
:27:59
Does it matter a lot?
:28:02
Not too much at the moment.
:28:04
How many other Marriotts are there:
:28:06
Pretty guys who take you dancing?
:28:08
I'm very fond of my husband.
:28:10
Only his two-step's getting a little stiff.
:28:13
Do you know a Jules Amthor?
:28:15
- I've heard Lin speak of him. Why?
- I don't know.
:28:17
The cops told me to leave him alone.
That makes me want to look him up.
:28:21
- Is he a bad boy?
- A lot of Lin's friends are, I'm afraid.
:28:25
Lin was rather a heel himself...
:28:28
but he was a nice heel.
:28:30
The papers didn't say much
except that he wasn't shot.
:28:34
- How...
- With a sap, only good.
:28:37
If an elephant had stepped
on his head, same effect.
:28:39
How awful.
:28:41
I feel so responsible now,
but it seemed quite simple to buy it back.
:28:47
I don't understand.
:28:48
I've tried to put it together
with the holdup, but I can't.
:28:52
You know, there was something peculiar
about the holdup.
:28:55
They gave me back one of my rings.
Rather a good one, too.
