:31:00
In what way do you think I could help you?
:31:02
I spent last night with the police.
It was their idea.
:31:06
They took it for granted
that if I'd known Marriott, I knew you, too.
:31:09
They told me not to get too close to you,
said you'd bite.
:31:12
You look harmless to me.
:31:14
I'd be glad to arrange an interview if...
:31:16
Just leave the number with Mrs. Grayle.
:31:20
Don't go to any special trouble.
I'll bring my own crystal ball.
:31:33
- How do you get out of this funhouse?
- This way, sir.
:31:42
Come in.
:31:44
It's on the bed.
:31:50
This is six weeks
since you sent your laundry out.
:31:53
You must be in love.
:31:55
Bring it back tomorrow.
:32:08
You've got a nice build
for a private detective.
:32:11
It gets me around.
:32:13
How does one get to be
a private detective?
:32:16
You don't mind my sizing you up a little?
:32:19
Most are ex-cops.
I worked for the D.A., got fired.
:32:22
- Not for incompetence, surely.
- For talking back.
:32:25
I had an interesting childhood, too, but
you didn't drop in to get a biography.
:32:29
I thought you'd like to know
what Amthor said...
:32:32
and I wanted to make it official.
:32:34
Shall we call this a retainer?
:32:40
Yeah, let's call it a retainer.
:32:42
If the cops get to you, you sent for me.
:32:45
I didn't want to take the case.
You talked me into it.
:32:48
- You hired me.
- Do they have to know about me?
:32:51
Would that bother you?
:32:53
We live pretty much by ourselves.
:32:55
And my husband has a morbid fear
of any kind of publicity.
:32:58
He's not very strong.
