:48:01
- Did I treat you badly?
- No, Mr. Pritchett.

:48:03
- Did I pay you a decent salary?
- Yes.

:48:06
Then why did you do this to me?
:48:09
I built up my business
from a hole in the wall.

:48:12
I worked darned hard for it,
and I want my money back.

:48:15
- And you'll get it. I promise you.
- Susan.

:48:16
The bank was closed. All I could scrape
together tonight was $120.

:48:20
- I'll have the rest tomorrow.
- Take that back.

:48:22
- Let me alone. Don't interfere...
- Who are you, miss?

:48:24
I'm Susan Carmichael.
I'm an old friend of Arthur's family.

:48:27
I'd like to straighten this out
with you, Mister...

:48:29
- Pritchett. Albert R. Pritchett.
- How do you do, Mr. Pritchett?

:48:31
How do you do?
:48:32
You say you're prepared to return
the rest of my money?

:48:35
Yes, I'll sign a promissory note,
or whatever you say.

:48:37
Say, where'd you get that cash,
Miss Carmichael?

:48:39
I had some, and I pawned
some jewelry. Here are the tickets.

:48:44
- Do you want to see them?
- If you don't mind.

:48:49
- Anything of your sister's here?
- No.

:48:51
- Is this the young lady...
- No. She doesn't know anything about it.

:48:54
I know all there is to know.
Shall I make out a note for the rest?

:48:57
Wait a minute.
We don't run a collection agency here.

:49:00
This man's a thief. We're here to
prosecute criminals, not collect money.

:49:03
He's not a criminal.
:49:05
Miss Carmichael, you seem like
a very nice young lady...

:49:07
I'm going to give you some advice.
:49:09
I've seen a thousand like him.
:49:11
You take your money and run.
:49:13
- McLeod.
- Yes, sir.

:49:14
Get me the files on the Cottsworth squeal.
:49:17
- Cottsworth? 1941?
- Yeah.

:49:20
That'll be buried under a pile upstairs.
I'll have to dig them up.

:49:23
Dig them up. Do it now.
:49:26
Yes, sir.
:49:27
He spells one thing for you:
Misery the rest of your life.

:49:30
- He's no good. Believe me, I know.
- That isn't true!

:49:50
Mr. Pritchett, he never did anything
dishonest before in his life.

:49:53
Then why did he do it?
:49:55
- He had a good job. He wasn't hungry.
- I was.

:49:57
What?
:49:58
You can be hungry for other things
besides food.
