1:06:02
I mean, for her.
1:06:04
Even so, I'm afraid she's not going
to be happy to see me up there.

1:06:08
Why? Do you think
that she blamed you for his death?

1:06:11
Well, I certainly do.
1:06:14
After all, I was fighting David
on this sell business. Everybody knew that.

1:06:19
I figured some troublemaker misunderstood
and stole the box out of my office.

1:06:24
Fortunately, I was wrong.
That cigar box looks so good to me!

1:06:29
Now, if I can just get Doris
to tell me why she let me go.

1:06:32
- I can tell you that.
- You can?

1:06:35
Yeah. She fired you for a couple of reasons.
1:06:38
Those secret meetings with the competition.
1:06:41
- That patent sold to a friend very cheaply.
- What? Those are lies.

1:06:45
Really? Mr Quincy wrote them down
in a report to Mr Buckner.

1:06:49
Then Quincy made them up himself.
They're simply not true.

1:06:53
You promised Aunt Dori never to mention
that. Are you trying to cause trouble?

1:06:57
It doesn't make any difference now.
Everything's changed now, because of this.

1:07:02
- There was that thing with Miss Bishop.
- Lieutenant, that is private.

1:07:07
- Wait. What "thing" with Miss Bishop?
- I am warning you.

1:07:11
Miss Bishop and Mr Buckner,
for the past year or so...

1:07:15
That is enough.
1:07:18
- Sorry. I didn't mean to hurt anybody.
- I just don't know why we can't...

1:07:22
Well, why we can't sit here.
1:07:25
Sit here and... Just sit here quietly
1:07:28
while we ride to the top of the mountain.
1:07:30
You know something, Roger?
The truth is hard to find... sometimes.

1:07:34
But sometimes it's right in front of you
and you can't prove it.

1:07:38
What?
1:07:39
Do you know,
I had a whole theory worked out

1:07:42
how you could have fixed this box here?
1:07:45
But I mean, a high IQ thing so that
the explosive might not be discovered.

1:07:50
It might get burned up with the gasoline.
1:07:53
Oh, yes. I had a theory worked out
how you could have done all sorts of things.

1:07:58
Now... Now...
