:27:00
- Yes, I've thought about it...
- Mrs. Clark...
:27:03
things happen in long marriages.
To the best of people.
:27:08
And sometimes the thing that happens
doesn't mean anything.
:27:10
Doesn't need an investigator, just needs
somebody to look the other way for a while.
:27:13
My husband is a serious man, Mr. Devine.
If he's having an affair, it is not casual.
:27:18
In which case,
the sooner I know, the better.
:27:22
All right. Give me a moment while
I call in my associate, Mr. Harcourt.
:27:26
Scottie!
:27:29
Scottie Harcourt,
this is Mrs. Clark.
:27:31
She suspects
her husband's up to no good.
:27:33
"To catch a husband is an art.
To hold him is a job."
:27:37
Simone de Beauvoir said that.
It's very nice to meet you, Mrs. Clark.
:27:41
Same here.
:27:42
I think we can start this investigation
without too much cost to Mrs. Clark.
:27:45
Yes. Follow that husband around for a few
days, take some pictures, see what's up.
:27:50
But I have to warn you,
if it goes to trial it's gonna be...
:27:52
Trial?
:27:55
In the event of a divorce.
:27:57
But we don't know if
he's having an affair.
:27:59
I mean, he could just be
involved with... I don't know...
:28:05
people who get together
to invest things,
:28:08
and... and the place that they
invest things is... filled with potpourri,
:28:14
and that's why his shirts smell so sweet
when he comes home. It's possible.
:28:19
Yeah, it's possible.
It's possible.
:28:21
It's possible we could find your husband
neck-deep in potpourri, investing things.
:28:25
Not likely.
:28:31
Look, this is what we'll do.
:28:36
We start out gently.
:28:42
We look for the potpourri.
:28:44
And if we find it, and it smells like flowers,
then 2,000 ought to cover my time.
:28:50
But if we find the potpourri and there's
something big and stinky in the pot,
:28:54
then you and I renegotiate, OK?
That sound good?
:28:57
OK.
