:07:00
Better days then, Mr. St. Ives.
:07:02
- You are Mr. St. Ives?
- Yes.
:07:06
- Mr. Procane?
- Abner Procane. Can I get you a drink?
:07:11
- Yes, please.
- What will you have?
:07:13
A whiskey and soda, please.
:07:15
Has Mr. Green informed you
of my problem?
:07:18
I wanted to hear about it from you.
:07:20
Five brown leather-bound ledgers,
81/2-by-14...
:07:25
...were removed from a safe
in an upstairs office. A very tidy job.
:07:30
- When did they contact you?
- Friday.
:07:32
- But he didn't speak with me.
- Who talked to him?
:07:35
I did.
:07:40
The thief, or the man I spoke to,
will call again this afternoon...
:07:44
...with specific instructions
as to the exchange.
:07:46
He insisted you be here when he called
and that you act as a go-between.
:07:50
- I think that's the expression he used.
- This is Janet Whistler.
:07:58
- What else did he say?
- He demanded $ 100,000.
:08:02
Old money, mixed serial numbers.
:08:05
How do you know I'm not
in business with the thief?
:08:08
Apart from the fact that you
gamble excessively...
:08:11
...your reputation is flawless.
:08:20
Yes?
:08:22
He's here.
:08:23
St. Ives.
:08:28
This is St. Ives.
:08:30
Yes. Yes.
:08:33
Yes, I got it.
:08:36
Sounds okay. At a Laundromat, 2 a.m.,
come alone. It's the usual.
:08:41
- Where's the money?
- It's here.
:08:47
Do you want me to come with you?
:08:49
That's not necessary.
I'm being well-paid for the risk.
:08:52
You'll be sure to call us
immediately afterwards?
:08:55
Better than that.
I'll be right here at your door.
