He was right.
There were a lot of people in his office.

:46:05
Anybody could have taken that box.
:46:08
This fellow Logan,
he's quite a friend of yours, I guess.

:46:11
Well, I mean, he...
He has taken an interest in my work lately.

:46:16
Why?
:46:20
You mean, he sort of fires you up, maybe?
:46:23
I... What?
:46:24
I found this in the wastepaper basket
:46:27
in the chauffeur's apartment
above the garage.

:46:30
It looks like a report
from Mr Quincy to Mr Buckner.

:46:33
And Quincy claims that Mr Logan,
for some funny reason,

:46:37
was trying to upset you over this sale thing.
:46:40
Using you to manipulate your aunt.
:46:43
- Let me see that.
- No. It's just hearsay.

:46:46
I don't want to spread rumours around.
:46:48
You know...
:46:51
I really don't understand this business stuff.
:46:53
I never could understand business.
:46:56
My wife, she always makes out our taxes.
:46:59
By the way, Benson mentioned
that Quincy was one time a cop.

:47:05
I knew that he... Or suspected, rather,
:47:08
that he did some extracurricular work
for my uncle.

:47:12
You know, like checking up
on people. Why?

:47:15
I couldn't find the typewriter
that this report was written on

:47:19
and Benson, he had an idea
:47:22
that Quincy might have had
another hideaway someplace.

:47:26
Something else that he used
as a base of operations.

:47:29
You know anything about that?
:47:31
Sorry.
:47:35
Oh, no, no, no, now, wait a minute.
:47:37
What is the matter with me? Of course.
:47:40
You know, one night, I was dumb enough
to get caught in a poker game with him.

:47:45
By accident, I saw a piece of paper
that was in his wallet,

:47:48
and it didn't say Quincy on it,
:47:51
it said, er... O'Neal.
:47:53
Yeah, that's what it said.
Harry J O'Neal. Yeah.

:47:56
Well, you know,
I can check up on that right away.
