:28:02
- Have a cocktail?
- Thanks. Nick Charles here?
:28:05
- You're his wife?
- Yes. Hey, Nick.
:28:07
Nice guy. Sent me up the river one time.
Hi, Nick.
:28:09
Hello, Face.
:28:11
- Long time, no see.
- Long time.
:28:13
- I needed the rest.
- Was he a good detective?
:28:15
I wouldn't know.
The time he caught me was an accident.
:28:18
- I led with my right.
- Come on, shed the chapeau.
:28:21
Divest yourself of raiment
and join the Yuletide revelers.
:28:24
Hey, revelers.
:28:25
I want you to know Face Peppler.
All you got to do is find out who they are.
:28:34
Don't bother to announce anyone.
Just send them all up.
:28:37
It's all right. They're all his friends.
:28:39
Here's the latest on the Julia Wolf murder.
:28:41
Police found out the secretary
was once a gangster's girl.
:28:43
They're now looking for him.
:28:45
Wynant, her employer, is still missing.
:28:47
Can't you fellows ever think
of anything but business?
:28:50
Good case for you, Nick.
:28:51
Haven't you heard the news?
I'm a gentleman now.
:28:54
Nick, reporters.
:28:56
- Salutations, boys.
- You're just the man I want to see.
:28:58
- I'm from the American...
- I'm from The Mirror.
:29:00
We want a statement. We hear you're here
on the Julia Wolf case.
:29:03
- I know nothing about it.
- Give us a break, will you?
:29:05
Listen, I never try to kid reporters.
I'm telling you the truth.
:29:09
Then why are you in town?
:29:11
My wife's on a bender.
I'm trying to sober her up.
:29:15
Waiter, drinks, please.
:29:17
Into the kitchen, son,
and thaw out some ice.
:29:19
Grandma, what large glasses you have.
:29:22
- Is he working on a case?
- Yes.
:29:24
- What case?
- A case of Scotch. Pitch in and help him.
:29:29
- I've got to order some food.
- Isn't it a waste of energy?
:29:33
That sounds like an interesting case.
Why don't you take it?
:29:35
I haven't time.
:29:37
I'm too busy seeing you don't lose
the money I married you for.
:29:40
Room service, please.
Sounds like a good case.
:29:42
Girl mysteriously murdered.
Nobody knows who did it.
:29:45
They haven't found any clues.
No gun, no fingerprints.
:29:48
I'll bet you dollars to dog biscuits
that they never thought of...
:29:52
I don't want to hear anything about it.
:29:56
Is that my drink over there?
:29:58
- What are you drinking?
- Rye.
