:53:01
All right, darling, whatever you want.
:53:04
But first, I have something to tell you.
:53:06
You know what I was doing when
you so cleverly had the police call me?
:53:10
Don't bother trying to guess.
You're too tired.
:53:12
I'll tell you what I was doing.
:53:14
After I dropped you off, I went
straight home, and when I got upstairs...
:53:20
- Apartment 3B.
- That's right.
:53:22
Very good!
:53:24
Before I even took my coat off,
I telephoned my fiancé.
:53:29
I told you I wasn't married.
:53:31
I never said I wasn't engaged.
:53:33
Well, I called up my fiancé,
:53:36
and he came over as soon as he could,
which was instantly.
:53:39
And I told him I had just met you...
and I gave him his ring back.
:53:43
I tried to... convey my regrets for
whatever pain I might be causing him,
:53:48
and then... just then...
:53:50
you had the police call to invite me
to meet you at the 24th Precinct.
:53:54
I grabbed my coat,
kissed my fiancé on the cheek,
:53:56
for the last time we would ever kiss,
:53:59
and I ran.
:54:01
At the police station, they told me you
had beaten up a large Chinese gentleman.
:54:05
Not Chinese, dear. Korean.
At least I think he was Korean.
:54:09
A very large Korean gentleman.
But that you were a pretty solid type,
:54:13
according to Washington -
with whom they'd checked.
:54:16
I figured if they went to the trouble
to contact George Washington,
:54:20
you must be
somebody very important indeed.
:54:23
I must say, it was rather sweet
of the General, with you only a Major.
:54:27
I didn't even know you knew him.
:54:30
If they were the tiniest bit
puzzled about you,
:54:33
they could have asked me.
:54:35
Oh yes, indeed, my darling Ben.
:54:37
They could have asked me,
:54:40
and I would have told them.
:54:51
- Hi, kid.
- What in the hell's going on?
:54:53
They called me to say you broke into
my apartment and beat up my houseboy.
