1:04:00
Well, I mean, it was last night.
1:04:03
- It's sort of like a roller coaster.
- Forget about last night.

1:04:05
I knew I'd made a mistake
the minute I left your apartment.

1:04:08
What did she say?
1:04:10
I think she sensed
we'd been drifting apart.

1:04:13
she was very poised.
1:04:15
Said if I was sure
that's what I wanted, uh--

1:04:19
- Thank you.
- I'll have another one of these, please.

1:04:21
Sure.
1:04:23
You're certainly not as euphoric
as I'd imagined.

1:04:26
Well, you can't expect me to just
change gears and turn on a dime.

1:04:32
- Have you changed your mind?
- Mmm.

1:04:35
- No.
- You haven't met someone else, have you?

1:04:38
No, no, I haven't.
1:04:49
I don't understand, fellas.
What-- What's going on? What'd I do?

1:04:53
Yes, those are the ones.
They were in his bookcase.

1:04:57
He bets every day, and, uh,
and he usually loses.

1:05:02
I knew he was into the bookmakers
for a bundle.

1:05:04
Look, I was with him on Tuesday night
till about 12:00.

1:05:07
Then suddenly he got a phone call
and he was like a different man.

1:05:12
if It was anyone else but C.W.,
1:05:15
we wouldn't even be discussing this.
1:05:18
The jewels were in his locker.
It's an airtight case.

1:05:20
Listen, fellas,
I know you guys wanted my job,

1:05:23
but I could get 30 years
up the river for this.

1:05:26
With good behavior,
you'll be out in 20.

1:05:28
- [ Laughing ]
- I'll get you. No matter where you are.

1:05:30
I'll check every low-I. Q club in town,
and I'll find you. I'll kill you.

1:05:33
- Low I. Q Some genius.
- I'll kill these guys.

1:05:36
- Take it easy.
- I'm not one to give pious lectures,

1:05:39
but if you needed money,
you could have come to me.

1:05:41
I would have listened.
I warned you about your gambling habit.

1:05:44
Can’t you see
what a conspiracy this is?

1:05:46
They plant a footprint
and a fingerprint,

1:05:48
and the night watchman
forges my signature.

1:05:51
It's easy. And this crazy girl
who smokes opium makes up a story.

1:05:55
And Fitzgerald plants
the jewels in my apartment.

1:05:57
There's a word for people who think
everyone is conspiring against them.
