:55:00
...you entered the men's room...
:55:02
...with a Pan Am flight
bag containing $ 100,000.

:55:06
A few minutes later, you walked out
with a United flight bag...

:55:09
...containing journals
stolen from Abner Procane.

:55:13
Jesus.
:55:15
You've been a busy boy.
:55:16
I believe Procane would
pay for certain information.

:55:20
- For example?
- Who killed Peskoe and Boykins.

:55:23
Why should he care?
He got back the journals.

:55:27
So far, two men have died...
:55:28
...and $ 100,000 has exchanged
hands for those journals.

:55:33
My guess is you don't know
what's in them.

:55:36
But I do know who had them
for three days.

:55:41
- How much?
- Twenty thousand dollars, cash.

:55:46
You could end up
like Boykins and Peskoe.

:55:50
When can I have an answer?
:55:52
He's meeting me
at my hotel in an hour's time.

:55:55
The question is, is the identification
of the opposition worth $20,000 to you?

:56:01
A peek at the other man's cards?
:56:03
That's always worth an investment.
:56:07
By all means, yes.
:56:09
Janet, get the cash
for Mr. St. Ives, please.

:56:15
Now, let me give you
a preview of our little play.

:56:18
First scene, the drive-in theater.
:56:20
Time, 7 p.m. tomorrow night.
:56:24
- What's the movie?
- Western double bill.

:56:27
The switch coincides with
the finest Hollywood stampede.

:56:31
Oh, great, great. I hope it's good.
In case we have nothing else to do.

:56:36
Twenty thousand dollars. And now,
gentlemen, if you don't mind, good night.

:56:40
- You have a big night?
- Cocktail party in Bel Air.

:56:44
Then dinner in a beautiful restaurant.
:56:46
- Good night.
- Good night.

:56:52
Nice bit, that, Mr. St. Ives, yes?
:56:57
I wouldn't characterize her as a bit.
:56:59
No, perhaps not.
How would "dangerous" do?
