:46:00
She's liable to try something dumb.
:46:02
- Just a minute.
- Just hold your water.
:46:06
Maybe I'm wrong, but you don't look like
you've had a lot of experience...
:46:10
handling a.357 magnum.
:46:13
Even so, at this close distance,
you couldn't miss.
:46:16
If something happened,
it wouldn't be a great loss to the world...
:46:21
but you'd go over on a manslaughter.
That's minimum eight to twelve.
:46:26
That's right.
:46:41
That's better.
:46:53
- Mister...
- Wells. Ira Wells.
:46:57
I'm a detective, private detective.
:47:02
I'm sorry about before, about the part
with the gun, but I was so afraid.
:47:08
Mr. Wells...
:47:10
I am going to be totally open
and honest with you.
:47:14
I'm going to lay myself naked before you.
I hope you appreciate that.
:47:17
- He'll try.
- Get me a glass of water, will you, doll?
:47:21
Why don't you ask her
what she's doing here in the first place?
:47:25
- What did I ever do without you?
- Very little, I'm sure.
:47:31
- Now, then, Mrs...
- Birdwell. Laura Birdwell.
:47:38
- You seem like a very intelligent man.
- I've had my moments.
:47:42
I really cannot relate on this level.
:47:46
I'm in a great deal of trouble.
:47:50
I don't know how much
I can open up to you.
:47:55
Why don't you just tell it to me
in your own way, Mrs. Birdwell?
:47:58
Laura.
