:49:01
Hiya, kids.
:49:06
- I haven't had the pleasure.
- The name is Phillips, Mr. Anzelmo.
:49:11
And your name is Phyllis.
I've heard about you too.
:49:13
She's a well-known
society girl.
:49:15
I called your house when I got the news, Christy.
I've been all over town since looking for you.
:49:19
It's a good thing I remembered
your mentioning Anzelmo.
:49:21
Now that you are here,
Mr. Phillips, why are you here?
:49:25
Because you wouldn't have
a quorum without me.
:49:27
And because I'm an important
stockholder in two million dollars.
:49:30
- Are you gonna stand for that?
- Perhaps.
:49:33
At any rate, before any
more partners arrive...
:49:36
I suggest you continue
what you were saying, Mr. Cravat.
:49:40
Cravat?
:49:45
Bring him
up to date, Chris.
:49:47
Secrets.
:49:51
I'll take the proposition
you offered me, Anzelmo...
:49:54
- with one slight change.
- And that is?
:49:56
I don't want a fall guy.
:49:59
One of you, or one of your hired help,
killed Steele on that dock three years ago.
:50:05
I want the one
that did it.
:50:08
- Do you maintain that you, yourself, were not the one?
- I know it.
:50:13
Well-
:50:16
In that case, I cannot tell you
how sorry I am, Phyllis.
:50:21
- Sorry? For what?
- I did my best during all this time.
:50:25
I saw to it that
the finger of suspicion never touched you.
:50:27
What are you driving at?
:50:29
Everyone knows that you were with Cravat
the night before the murder.
:50:34
But where were you
on the night of the murder?
:50:37
- With you! I was with you!
- With me?
:50:39
Phyllis, you shouldn't.
You're among friends.
:50:42
Hubert was with me
all that night.
:50:46
- Was she here too, Hubert?
- No, boss.
:50:49
What is this?
Some kind of a gag?
:50:51
You're smart. You can tell a cheap frame.
This is a laugh.
:50:53
Then laugh this off.
:50:55
That you were seen on the dock the next morning,
that you were nervous and upset.
