Do you know that I have always envied
somebody with that talent?

:39:07
- Mm-hm?
- I don't think you can learn that.

:39:09
I think you're born with that.
:39:12
You know, inventors
and military strategists?

:39:15
Now, I wish I had that.
That'd be a terrific thing in my work.

:39:18
- Do you know what I mean?
- Yes, I'm sure it would.

:39:22
Talking about work, there's a couple
of loose ends I'd like to tie up.

:39:26
Nothing important, you understand,
but I would like to get 'em tied up.

:39:31
- Fire away.
- I was watchin' the news last night.

:39:36
Those film clips of you in action?
Great stuff! Really.

:39:39
- Thank you.
- Yeah, it was just thrilling.

:39:43
But I happened to notice that you were
carrying a pearl-handled pistol.

:39:47
- Splendid weapon. A single-action Colt.45.
- Yeah, I remembered that.

:39:52
That was kinda
like your trademark, wasn't it?

:39:55
Well, the thing is this, that...
:39:57
when I asked you if you owned any guns,
:39:59
you showed me your souvenirs
and your target pistol,

:40:02
which is all very well and good,
:40:05
but I was wondering,
what happened to that revolver?

:40:08
Because when I looked into the crate,
you know, I didn't see it in there.

:40:12
Lost it, Lieutenant. Long time ago.
:40:16
When I was in the hospital in Korea,
someone "liberated" it, you know.

:40:21
Wanted a souvenir.
Actually, I was pretty pleased it was taken.

:40:25
It was getting to be just too much
of a publicity gimmick.

:40:28
I see. So the Hollister Exhibit
:40:32
is gonna have to do without
the famous Hollister gun.

:40:35
Er, not exactly.
MMI wanted one for their Memorial

:40:40
- so they had a duplicate made.
- I see. Uh-huh.

:40:44
Now, I've gotta change.
So, if there's anything else I can do for you?

:40:49
- No, that'd be all, sir.
- Oh, fine.

:40:51
Just a piece of advice.
:40:55
Find a different spot.
Or use a different bait.
