:11:02
How did you get
in the shipbuilding business, Gavin?
:11:06
I married into it.
:11:09
- Very interesting business.
- To be honest, I find it dull.
:11:13
You don't have to do it for a living.
:11:16
No, but one assumes responsibilities.
:11:18
My wife's family has all gone,
someone has to look after her interests.
:11:23
Her father's partner runs
the company yard in the east - Baltimore.
:11:28
So I decided, as long as
I had to work at it, I'd come back here.
:11:33
- I've always liked it here.
- How long have you been back?
:11:36
- Almost a year.
- You like it, huh?
:11:39
Well, San Francisco's changed.
:11:42
The things that spell San Francisco
to me are disappearing fast.
:11:49
- Like all these?
- I should like to have lived here then.
:11:53
Colour, excitement, power, freedom.
:11:58
- Er, shouldn't you be sitting down?
- No, I'm all right.
:12:03
I was sorry to read about
that thing in the paper.
:12:06
And you've quit the force,
is it a permanent physical disability?
:12:10
No. No, it just means I can't climb
steep stairs or go to high places,
:12:16
like the bar at the Top of the Mark.
:12:18
But there are street-level bars
in this town.
:12:21
Would you like a drink now?
:12:23
No, I don't think so,
it's a little early in the day for me.
:12:30
Well, I guess that just about
covers everything.
:12:33
I never married,
I don't see much of the old college gang,
:12:37
I'm a retired detective
and you're in the shipbuilding business.
:12:42
What's on your mind, Gavin?
:12:45
I asked you here, Scottie,
knowing you'd quit detective work,
:12:49
but I wondered whether you'd go back
on the job as a special favour to me.
:12:54
I want you to follow my wife.
No, it's not that.
:12:57
- We're very happily married.
- Well, then...
