:27:02
But we're moving into a decade
of scientific innovation.
:27:05
Miss Fitzgerald has suggested
that perhaps we might
get you a little help...
:27:09
by farming out part of the work
to an outside private detective agency.
:27:13
- What?
- To help you-- test the waters--
:27:16
see if a new approach
and fresh techniques make a difference.
:27:19
Don't feel threatened immediately.
:27:21
According to you, I'm only threatened
by women with high I. Qs.
:27:24
Did you hire a female detective?
:27:26
North Coast has got to get
with the progress of the marketplace.
:27:29
There's a lot of money at stake here.
:27:31
The more time passes, the colder
the trail grows. You know that.
:27:33
So if the Coopersmith Private Detective
Agency makes a contribution, then fine.
:27:37
If not, we're only out a few bucks.
:27:39
The Coopersmiths?
Those guys are like Fric and Frac.
:27:42
- They're sub-mental.
- We are moving into
a new decade, the 1940s.
:27:46
That means things are different.
:27:48
Do me a favor. Max Baer's
looking for sparring partners.
:27:51
Why don't you go down to the gym?
:27:53
You're the only person I've received
this kind of bitter resistance from.
:27:55
You're a dinosaur with your street ways
and disorganized hunt-and-peck methods.
:28:01
Please. My father
always stressed harmony.
:28:04
I gotta go.
I'm working on a case.
:28:07
:28:08
:28:10
Watch out for the traffic.
:28:13
Don't get hit by a bus,
your body mangled beyond recognition.
:28:17
I ain't heard a word about any job.
:28:21
Nobody tried to fence anything
or do any braggin'.
:28:25
Charlie, you gotta help me with this.
Keep your ears open.
:28:29
Anything you hear, I gotta know.
It's very important, okay?
:28:33
Fifty? You must be desperate.
:28:36
You know where to reach me. Keep eating
the carrots. I think they're workin'.
:28:48
I think Joe said they're
all gone up there, Mr. Briggs.
:28:50
I'm just gonna check something out.
I'll be down in five minutes.
