:57:00
I thought you said
she was a chorus girl.

:57:02
Who does a little nursing?
Give me a break.

:57:05
Come on. We can discuss this
tomorrow, can't we?

:57:08
I don't know how you can still make love
with this on your mind.

:57:11
You know, you're facing
a long jail sentence.

:57:13
That's exactly why I gotta
get in all I can now.

:57:16
Yeah? Well, we're gonna turn this over
to the police tomorrow.

:57:19
You can see. There's a case developing
that's pretty incriminating.

:57:22
This is circumstantial evidence.
That's all you got.

:57:25
Many a man's gone to the gallows
on circumstantial evidence.

:57:28
Well, fellas, the gallows
are gonna have to wait,

:57:30
because I got a cocktail waitress
in the other room now, and I--

:57:33
- Cocktail waitress?
- Yeah, a nurse, you know,

:57:36
who-- who's a little bit
of a chorus girl,

:57:39
and she works a lounge now and then.
:57:41
If you catch the jewel thief,
let me know.

:57:43
- I'll get you both new yo-yos.
- Yeah.

:57:48
They're--
:57:52
- What is this?
- I was...

:57:55
browsing through your bookshelf,
:57:57
and I found this deck
of naked playing cards and these.

:58:01
This is-- What do you--
:58:03
This is-- This is
the Kensington jewels.

:58:05
This is the-- This is
the Dillworth jewels and the-- the--

:58:09
This is--
What Are you--

:58:12
What Are you looking
at me like that for?

:58:14
Because you found them in amongst
my collection of female art studies?

:58:19
What is the implication here?
:58:21
I used to go with the six of spades.
:58:23
Then the four of diamonds
caught us together and there was a--

:58:26
I was aware that you sneaked up
mysteriously to the office
in the middle of the night...

:58:29
and the lobby guard saw you.
:58:31
I know you have Laura Kensington's
stocking, and she swears...

:58:34
you kicked her out of bed to
take care of sudden business,
which your super corroborates.

:58:37
They have a footprint,
a match book with your fingerprint,

:58:40
and still I believed
that you didn't do it.

:58:44
But now the actual stolen property
turns up hidden in your bedroom.

:58:48
So what Are you saying?
This makes you suspicious of me?

:58:51
I was actually a bit touched that you
stayed up all night watching over me.

:58:55
I began to think, " Maybe he's not the
scummy little vermin he seems to be. "

:58:59
I maybe a scummy vermin,
but I'm an honest scummy vermin.
