1:24:00
Positively.
1:24:02
You were almost late, Mr. Ryan.
1:24:04
I thought I was right on time.
How are you, kid?
1:24:07
Hello, Ryan.
What are you, her new pimp?
1:24:10
More like a partner,
right, sweetheart?
1:24:12
I knew you'd gone sour, Ryan,
but I didn't think you'd gone simple.
1:24:14
She'll eat you alive.
1:24:16
You're not really gonna trust our little
Mademoiselle Butterfly here, are you?
1:24:19
Who wouldn't trust a face like that?
We're partners.
1:24:22
I always trust my partners, remember?
Up to a point.
1:24:26
Don't drop it.
1:24:27
Just toss it over the side
so I can hear the splash.
1:24:40
Here's your story, kid.
My part of the deal.
1:24:43
I had to pay a lot
to get it back from Fong.
1:24:46
More than it's worth.
I even read it again.
1:24:50
I still don't like it.
Needs a better ending.
1:24:53
How about this:
The old bird pulls off a grand slam
1:24:56
and leaves town
with a million bucks.
1:24:59
You thought my life was over,
Hammett. It's just beginning.
1:25:03
You want something real
to write about, write about this.
1:25:10
Operator, this is an emergency.
1:25:12
Get me
the district attorney's office, please.
1:25:15
Thank you.
1:25:20
Not just yet, little lady.
1:25:28
He needed one hand for the money
and the other for the gun.
1:25:31
He wasn't good enough
to handle both.
1:25:35
I read it too, Hammett.
I like the ending.
1:25:38
- Swell.
- Was he a friend or what?
1:25:41
- Yeah, he was a friend.
- He was good.
1:25:44
He broke in from nowhere,
1:25:46
tracked me down,
figured it all out and cut himself in.
1:25:49
- He was good.
- He was the best,
1:25:51
- in his heyday.
- Maybe you didn't know him too well.
1:25:54
Maybe I didn't know him at all.
1:25:57
Take his place, Hammett.
Come with me.
