:40:01
And here was this big chunk of dough
floatin' around loose in this country...
:40:04
like a pair of dice
at a firemen's ball.
:40:07
It moved east to west.
:40:09
Each time it moved, it left a stiff
behind it with his fingers stretched out.
:40:13
The boys play rough for
that kind of lettuce, you understand.
:40:16
Somehow it got to Los Angeles.
Somehow Cravat got mixed up with it.
:40:19
I don't know much more
than that.
:40:21
Except that when Cravat blew,
so did the jackpot.
:40:25
- Sounds like one of those " to be continued next issue" stories.
- Yeah.
:40:28
Well, I gotta get back. I shouldn't have come,
but I did it instead of my lunch hour.
:40:32
You shouldn't go without eating like that.
It's not good for you.
:40:35
- Lieutenant.
- Yeah? Something else?
:40:37
- How does this other fella tie in?
This, uh-What's his name? - Taylor.
:40:40
George Taylor.
I don't know yet.
:40:42
Maybe not at all.
Maybe he has as little to do with it as any of us.
:40:46
I should think you'd have picked him up.
You must have a description.
:40:49
Oh, those eyewitness descriptions.
Right now he could be anything...
:40:52
from a jockey
to a Siamese twin.
:40:55
Later on you narrow 'em down. No. He'll, uh-
He'll probably come in by himself sometime.
:41:00
If not, we'll go out
and pick him up.
:41:02
These-These fortunes. They kill me.
:41:07
This ain't bad.
:41:09
Well, I'll, uh, see you
some more, huh? Bye.
:41:11
- Bye.
- Bye, Don.
:41:20
Not bad at all.
:41:22
"Confucius say,
'When something smell bad, keep nose clean."'
:41:27
Boy, I certainly fooled him.
:41:29
I told you he was
a smart cop.
:41:31
He was a hungry cop.
I'll say that much.
:41:34
You know, anybody that dug up Cravat
would be digging up a couple of million with him.
:41:40
That's a good reason for trying.
That's even a good private reason.
:41:44
It's not mine, if that's what you mean.
I've got no interest in the money.
:41:47
Well, I'm a businessman, and frankly,
I'm interested right now.
:41:50
Maybe we can
work something out...
:41:52
where you wind up with Cravat,
and I wind up with what I can get.
:41:56
- Help yourself.
- And I wind up with a pair of nylons, I suppose.
:41:59
You name it, Chris.
All or any part of what I've got.
