:11:02
That was about three years ago,
maybe more.
:11:06
Wintertime. One of the coldest days
I remember in the town.
:11:10
And we got a call to come and see a big op.
:11:12
- A what?
- An operator, gambler.
:11:16
He didn't come to see us because he was
too high-powered a character.
:11:20
Also, because some dame had taken
four shots at him with his own.38.
:11:24
Made one of them good.
:11:30
He was taking it in stride,
but he had a friend who was a ball of fire.
:11:34
Newspaper guys, wise guys,
who do they think they're kidding?
:11:38
So he shot himself
cleaning a cap pistol.
:11:40
So I shot the ace of spades
out of a sleeve during a gin game.
:11:43
A guy can't even get shot by a dame...
:11:45
...without the whole town
starting to buzz like a...
:11:48
Like you? Smoke a cigarette, Joe.
:11:53
You just sit and stay inside yourself.
You wait for me to talk. I like that.
:11:59
I never found out much
listening to myself.
:12:06
- It amazes me how she missed so often.
- Maybe you were moving.
:12:09
A dame with a rod is like a guy
with a knitting needle.
:12:12
- What's he doing here? I called you.
- My partner.
:12:18
- Should I ask why you didn't call the law?
- Should you?
:12:23
I guess not.
:12:25
- Anything happen to her?
- She ran out on me.
:12:27
- With 40,000 bucks.
- I want her back.
:12:29
Or the money?
:12:33
You know, I once bet $40,000 on a horse
that ran dead last, so I bought the horse.
:12:38
Yeah, that's what I mean.
:12:39
Oh, you're wrong. I put that horse
in a nice green pasture...
:12:43
...so he'd never get his foot
caught in a mutuel machine.
:12:47
You should go out and visit it sometime.
:12:50
No, I just want her back.
When you see her, you'll understand better.
:12:56
Maybe she's just an impulsive girl.
:12:59
- Shall we let it go at that?
- I can let it all go.
