1:41:00
All right, darling.
Let me know when you've had enough.
1:41:03
Well, suppose we all
go about this thing quietly.
1:41:06
Dancer...
1:41:08
there you are.
1:41:13
You know, that check of Robert's
for $20,000 was a forgery.
1:41:16
- So, what's it to me?
- It was traced from another check.
1:41:19
I still say, so what's it to me?
1:41:22
Just a minute, Lieutenant.
We'll handle it differently.
1:41:25
Selma, did you deposit that check for
$20,000 to his account a few days ago?
1:41:27
- No.
- Yes, you did, Selma.
1:41:33
I remember your telling me.
1:41:37
Did you, Selma?
1:41:40
Yes, I think perhaps I did. I must have.
1:41:42
You think Robert forged her signature
and you're trying to hush it up, aren't you?
1:41:47
- Aren't you?
- No.
1:41:50
For years you've paid
to hush up his scandals.
1:41:54
Don't you see
that's just what they're counting on?
1:41:57
Selma, is that the vanity case
they sent you?
1:41:59
Yes.
1:42:02
And when you returned it,
you sent a note along with it.
1:42:06
Yes.
1:42:07
You took a signature of that note...
1:42:09
traced it on this check
and deposited it to Robert's account.
1:42:13
Then you forged Robert's signature
to the other checks...
1:42:15
and had Polly keep him busy
until you cashed them.
1:42:18
Then I suppose I knock him off and
stir up all this fuss before I get the dough.
1:42:21
What kind of a stumblebum does that
make me out to be?
1:42:23
You're the stumblebum
that left your fingerprints...
1:42:27
all over the room
when you killed Phil Byrnes.
1:42:30
- Phil's dead?
- Yes, strangled.
1:42:32
- I didn't do it.
- Why did you go to his place?
1:42:37
Because I thought he'd gummed my game.
1:42:39
I figured he'd tried to hold up Landis
and had to kill him.
1:42:42
I pushed him around a bit
just to learn him manners.
1:42:44
Phooey!
1:42:46
When I left him he had a split lip
and couple of dents in him...
1:42:49
but he was just as much alive as you are.
1:42:50
If that means anything.
1:42:53
Just a minute, Lieutenant. Polly,
who knew that Phil was your husband?
1:42:56
- What?
- You were married, weren't you?
1:42:57
Yeah.
