I couldn't sleep last night.
:32:02
A couple of points were bothering me,
so I thought I'd clear them up.

:32:07
- What kind of points?
- Thank you.

:32:09
That newspaper.
:32:11
Newspaper?
:32:13
Yes, the one that I noticed
on the table in the foyer.

:32:16
Correct me if I'm wrong
but didn't I hear you say

:32:20
that you were home all day yesterday?
:32:23
That's right.
:32:24
That's what puzzles me.
How did that newspaper get there?

:32:28
- Haven't you ever heard of home delivery?
- Oh, yeah.

:32:32
- I have a paper delivered every morning.
- There's your answer.

:32:36
No. No, that won't answer it, no.
:32:41
The newspaper on the foyer table
was a late edition.

:32:44
I even saw racetrack results in it.
:32:48
I don't quite follow you.
:32:50
If you were home all day,
who brought home the newspaper?

:32:54
Bryce must have brought it home.
:32:56
But he came in through your room,
not through the front door.

:33:00
He was shot on that side of the house.
:33:02
How did that newspaper get
to the other end of the house?

:33:06
You seem to be
cross-examining my daughter.

:33:09
That's all right, Mother.
Bryce must have brought it in

:33:12
and in my confusion I put it on the table
when I went to answer the door.

:33:17
Yes, that would be an answer,
except for one thing.

:33:20
You left your brother's
attaché case out there.

:33:23
Why wouldn't you bring them both in
at the same time?

:33:27
I didn't see it.
:33:29
You didn't see it. Gee.
:33:32
They couldn't have been too far apart.
:33:34
People are inconsistent
when in a state of shock, Lieutenant.

:33:38
It's foolish of you to expect
rational behaviour at a time like that.

:33:41
Well, I'm sure you're right about this.
:33:44
I only get into it because
I try to figure it out in my mind.

:33:49
Uh, well, look, I'm sure both of you
have a great deal to talk about

:33:53
so I'm gonna run along.
:33:55
Thank you for the coffee, ma'am.
:33:58
- Bye-bye.
- Goodbye.
