:43:00
Mr Muldoon, it seems that Maria's mother
was murdered by Maria's father.

:43:04
Murdered? Her father
murdered her mother? When?

:43:08
- Last night.
- How'd you hear about this?

:43:11
The Madrid office just telephoned.
:43:13
- The papers? Has it got to the papers?
- Not yet.

:43:15
As you know, over here crime
is not exploited to sell newspapers.

:43:19
Without it you could print the three main
papers in England on postage stamps.

:43:23
I am not interested in selling newspapers,
or in debating good and bad taste.

:43:27
The newspapers have not yet picked it up,
and won't, as long as Maria stays out of it.

:43:32
Boss, you're 100% right. We gotta keep
her out of it. Does she know about it yet?

:43:36
I've put in a call
to Harry Dawes. He can find out.

:43:39
- You want Harry to tell her?
- Of course not.

:43:41
Certainly not until the trial is over
and it's too late to be news.

:43:44
And we're finished playing the key cities.
Boss, you think of everything.

:43:48
Ah, what a business, show business.
:43:50
For years you sweat and dream and dig
and finally you come up with the jackpot.

:43:55
You've made it. You got a right to
open your collar, take off your shoes

:43:59
and relax in Las Vegas
for the rest of your life.

:44:01
So what happens? Her father chokes
her mother to death. It could make ya cry.

:44:06

:44:08
Montague, if there's one thing
I know about, it's Mr John Q Public.

:44:11
He wants clean people on the screen
for his children to look at.

:44:15
Don't let the eggheads tell you he wants
high-class acting and fancy dialogue.

:44:19
Oscar, the phone.
:44:21
He wants to forget his troubles,
look at clean people, escape.

:44:24
He don't wanna see drunks, sex maniacs,
divorcees, communists, murderers.

:44:28
And no children of murderers.
He's got enough of that at home. Hello?

:44:32
Hello? Yeah, Mr Edwards
is right here. Put him on.

:44:35
- It's Harry, for you.
- You talk to him.

:44:37
Hello? Hello? I hear nothing.
:44:41
Hello, Harry? No, this is Oscar.
:44:44
Yeah, how are you, Harry?
:44:45
Fine, fine. Say, how is it out there?
:44:49
You don't say? Whaddaya know?
Nice day in California.

:44:52
Are you paying for
this call yourself, Oscar?

:44:55
Harry, the reason we called...
:44:57
What's new and all that, but also...
have you happened to see Maria lately?
