:30:02
And here I am, your best
and most obvious suspect too.

:30:06
Aw, don't say things like that.
You've got me all wrong.

:30:09
Oh, yeah.
:30:11
It's just that I get bugged
by those little things.

:30:14
Like, no connection,
:30:16
but why would a person look in the trunk
of a car for a missing cuff link?

:30:21
Because I happened to toss my topcoat
in there to keep it from getting stolen.

:30:25
- Then I noticed the link was missing.
- Of course.

:30:29
See, I could've guessed that.
:30:31
A little while later I found the link
caught in the lining of my sleeve.

:30:35
I'm gonna tell you somethin'.
:30:37
There's a reasonable explanation for
everything if you just put your mind to it.

:30:42
Of course, sometimes these things pop up.
:30:45
Like with alibis.
:30:47
Do you know, in most cases, people,
they don't remember what time it is?

:30:51
They forget all that. Like the artist fella.
:30:54
He's all mixed up about the time.
:30:56
Mrs Mathews, she don't even remember
what time she went to bed.

:31:00
Well, being sober might help, I suppose.
:31:03
Now, with you, Mr Kingston,
it's just the opposite. Very unusual.

:31:07
With you, we know exactly
where you were and when.

:31:12
Not only that,
we know your whole car was empty.

:31:17
Yes. Isn't that nice?
:31:21
Well, if you'll excuse me.
:31:23
Oh, by the way, can I show you something?
lt'll only take a second.

:31:27
- You can rent paintings, did you know?
- Yes.

:31:30
My father-in-law loves Westerns
so I figured a few bucks, you can't get hurt.

:31:37
What do you think? Any good?
:31:40
For wallpaper in a child's room,
absolutely perfect.

:31:43
In fact, it looks like it might've been
done by an untalented 12-year-old.

:31:48
I was afraid you were going
to say something like that.

:31:51
But you know, then I say,
why would you bother to go last night

:31:55
if this guy's stuff is so bad?
:31:57
This is the artist
whose exhibit you were covering.
