:04:17
Yes?
:04:18
I'm phillip marlowe.
:04:19
I got a letter
asking me to come up here about a story.
:04:25
A mr. Marlowe
to see you.
:04:28
You may go in.
:04:42
No, dick, it won't do.
Not enough gore, not nearly enough gore.
:04:47
Well, that's
because you don't see it in color.
:04:50
Color or no color,
there's not enough blood.
:04:52
Take it out
and put more blood in.
:04:54
As soon as you finish,
let me see it again.
:05:00
Mr. Marlowe.
:05:01
Oh, mr. Marlowe.
:05:02
You're here about
some kind of a story, aren't you?
:05:05
Yeah. I got a letter
about it from somebody named a. Fromsett.
:05:10
I'm a. Fromsett.
Adrienne fromsett, to be precise.
:05:13
Won't you sit down?
:05:16
Thanks.
:05:17
Let me see.
I had your story-
:05:21
you still have it.
:05:21
It's underneath
the magazine there on the desk.
:05:24
Oh. Thank you.
:05:25
"If i should die
before i live"-
:05:29
that's a nice title-
:05:31
"by phillip marlowe"-
nice name.
:05:34
Tell me, mr. Marlowe,
have you done much writing before?
:05:37
That much.
:05:38
Really? You do very well
for a beginner.
:05:40
Well, it's based on
an authentic case.
:05:42
Is it really?
Of course, we get
:05:44
hundreds of authentic
cases submitted to us every week.
:05:47
Why don't you
print a few?
:05:49
They aren't all
as emotional as yours.
:05:53
Cigarette?
:05:55
Thanks.
:05:57
Light?
