:32:00
I own this house.
I'm mrs. Fallbrook.
:32:02
Well, i'm enchanted.
I am truly, mrs. Fallbrook.
:32:03
Would you mind pointing
that thing-
:32:04
and if you're one
of those wild friends of his-
:32:06
i'm not even one of
mr. Lavery's tame friends.
:32:08
In fact, i wouldn't say
we were friends at all.
:32:10
Then who are you,
if i may ask?
:32:12
Finance company,
about the car.
:32:14
You mean, mr. Lavery's
behind in his car payments, too?
:32:16
I don't like that.
I don't like that at all.
:32:18
Well, we don't
like it, either.
:32:20
Yes, but it's
much easier for you.
:32:21
You can just take it
away if you want to.
:32:23
But taking a house
with furniture in it isn't quite so easy.
:32:25
There's apt
to be bitterness. Things get damaged-
:32:27
sometimes on purpose.
:32:28
Did you look around
for him? Did you look through the house?
:32:30
Well, i've a right to,
i hope. It's my house.
:32:34
But all i found
was this gun.
:32:36
I found it
on the stairs.
:32:37
Here, you better
take it. Men always understand guns.
:32:39
It isn't loaded, is it?
I certainly hope not.
:32:41
I wonder why
mr. Lavery left it on the stairs.
:32:44
He probably had a hole in his pocket.
:32:46
Is it loaded?
:32:47
No. Not now, it isn't.
:32:48
For pity sakes, i have
oil all over my gloves.
:32:51
So you looked all over
the house, did you?
:32:53
You're a naughty girl.
:32:54
Did you look
under the beds and in the clothes closet?
:32:56
Why, you're...
you're very insulting.
:32:59
I only wanted my money.
:33:00
Everybody needs money
at christmastime, and i decided...
:33:03
i think we better
call the police.
:33:05
Yes, under
the circumstances,
:33:06
i think
that's just exactly what we should do.
:33:09
Mrs. Fallbrook?
:33:11
Yes.
:33:11
Let us stop
and consider a moment.
:33:13
Possibly,
you're being hasty.
:33:14
Why, i don't think so.
After all-
:33:16
finding a gun doesn't
mean a thing.
:33:19
Everybody keeps guns.
:33:21
Oh. Oh, do they really?
:33:22
Yeah. They don't always
keep them on the stairs.
:33:24
Lavery is a little
eccentric.
:33:26
Yes, he is
a little eccentric-
:33:26
i'm sure the bay city
police would frown upon us disturbing him
:33:30
over such a trifle.
:33:32
You think so?
:33:32
Definitely. They don't
like people molesting the citizens in this town.
:33:35
They don't?
:33:36
No. As a matter
of fact,
:33:37
they're extremely
sensitive about it- extremely.
:33:39
Oh, yes, but i'm-
:33:40
even when it comes
to landladies, mrs. Fallbrook,
:33:43
and finance companies-
:33:44
they frown
upon both of us.
:33:46
Oh, really?
:33:46
Now, if you let me
take care of this,
:33:48
i'll see that you
get your money.
:33:49
When ajax finance
lowers the boom on a creditor, mrs. Fallbrook,
:33:53
they lower it good.
:33:55
Oh, good.
:33:55
They fix it
so everybody gets paid.
:33:58
Paid...
oh, do they really?
:33:59
Yeah. Ajax finance is
a friend of every landlord.
