certain details that...
:50:06
- Does this lighter work?
- Yes.

:50:16
- Boy, they really nag me.
- Such as?

:50:19
- The bag, for instance.
- Which bag?

:50:24
The one you dropped from the plane
with the ransom money.

:50:28
- Didn't I say which bag it was?
- No, you didn't.

:50:31
- (Tuts) I'm sorry. I thought I did.
- What about the bag?

:50:36
I thought, it's funny
that whoever took the money,

:50:41
- they didn't take the bag.
- What's funny about that?

:50:44
You figure a kidnapper
is afraid to get caught

:50:46
so he's not likely to stop,
open a bag, take the money out,

:50:50
then run away and leave the bag.
:50:54
Well, of course, you know more than I do,
but don't people under stress

:50:58
act more out of immediate emotion
than logic?

:51:03
That's absolutely true.
:51:05
I'll go even further. That's what
does most criminals in, eventually.

:51:11
Then isn't it safe to assume
:51:13
that they would open the bag
to see if the money was there?

:51:17
And then, after they saw it,
:51:19
out of fear or panic, take the money
out of the bag and run.

:51:23
That's probably right. That's probably right.
I'm sure... it's right.

:51:27
I don't mean to defend my point
about the bag,

:51:30
I was just using that
to show you the kind of person I am.

:51:34
You understand? How details bother me.
:51:37
In other words, I'm trying to show you
a whachamacallit of mine.

:51:41
- Idiosyncrasy.
- Right. Idiosyncrasy.

:51:46
- Gee, that's a... That's a good word.
- One of the best.

:51:54
- Anything else?
- Er, no.

:51:57
No, I guess that's it.
