:41:00
He might get ambitious.
:41:02
He might figure an expensive necklace
would be nice to have in the bank.
:41:06
This hypothetical detective of yours...
:41:08
he might be willing to part
with the necklace for a consideration.
:41:12
Could be, if he had it.
:41:14
How big a consideration?
:41:16
It would be difficult to discuss that
until he produced the necklace.
:41:19
He might be bluffing,
hoping to gain information.
:41:22
In which case, a great thinker might try
to shake something out of him.
:41:27
You wouldn't suggest that?
:41:31
Only if you wanted
to wear your face backwards for a while.
:41:36
No need for us to be
at each other's throats, Mr. Marlowe.
:41:39
There's really no need for subterfuge.
:41:42
I want that jade.
:41:43
I'm prepared to buy it from you
if you have it...
:41:46
or if you can get it.
:41:48
Supposing I haven't got it...
:41:50
or supposing I don't want to sell...
:41:56
You get him to tell you yet?
:41:58
He refuses to tell me where she is.
:42:01
I gave you some dough to find Velma.
:42:03
- I don't like you not telling where she is.
- Who says I got her?
:42:08
- I don't like nobody to kid with me.
- He's lying. He knows where she is.
:42:12
Take it easy. We'll get it out of him.
:42:17
How'd you get mixed up with these guys?
What's the connection?
:42:20
He's okay. He tells me about you.
:42:22
If he tells you I know where Velma is,
he's nuts.
:42:24
He just picked you up to do his dirty work.
:42:26
He's after jewelry. He thinks I've got it.
Ask him about Velma.
:42:30
- I paid you to find her.
- Keep your shirt on.
:42:32
- Where you got her?
- I haven't got her, you nitwit.
:42:35
Where's the necklace?
Tell me and I'll stop him.
:42:37
You shouldn't have done that.
You shouldn't have hit me.
:42:47
Let him breathe a little.
:42:50
- Where's the necklace?
- I haven't got it.
:42:52
All right. A little more.
:42:56
Let him go. He's tame.
