1:08:04
With that,
they're gonna laugh you right out of court.
1:08:08
But they won't laugh at the insurance policy.
1:08:10
I've got a photostatic copy of it in my pocket.
1:08:13
Will they laugh at the fact that you withdrew
$15,000, put it back the next day?
1:08:18
I've got the book that you gave
to Miss La Sanka with your signature in it.
1:08:22
You expect to get a true bill of indictment
on that trivia? Come on, Lieutenant.
1:08:27
- I was down in San Diego.
- So was your partner.
1:08:32
That's a provocative statement.
Can you prove that?
1:08:35
Yes. Not with the witness,
cos you killed the witness.
1:08:40
- But I got another way to prove it.
- Enlighten me.
1:08:43
I enjoy watching a man raise
without any cards in his hand.
1:08:46
You know what, Ken?
I'm gonna tell you the truth.
1:08:49
For a while,
I never thought I was gonna get you.
1:08:52
Believe me, you had me goin' in circles.
I couldn't figure it out.
1:08:57
Suddenly, I thought of something,
how clever that first murder was.
1:09:01
The phone gimmick,
working late in the office.
1:09:04
- Brilliant.
- Are you awarding gold medals?
1:09:06
Yes! For the first one,
not for the second one. That was sloppy.
1:09:12
Mrs Melville, she'd have been disappointed.
1:09:14
Get to the climax. You're talking to a writer.
1:09:17
Am I? That's not what I heard.
1:09:19
And that's the key, that you're not a writer.
1:09:23
When Mrs Ferris told me
you didn't contribute to the writing,
1:09:26
that her husband did all the work...
1:09:29
- That's a lie.
...I had to say to myself,
1:09:31
"How could a man with no talent for
mysteries make up such a clever murder?"
1:09:35
If you were that ingenious,
you'd be able to write your own books.
1:09:41
Go ahead. I'm fascinated,
as boring as it may be.
1:09:44
Then I got it. The first one, the clever one,
that wasn't yours.
1:09:50
The second one,
the sloppy one, that was yours.
1:09:54
- But not the first.
- Oh? And whose idea was that, then?
