:57:02
Connie Allenbury, you've taken from me
the one thing in the world I love...
:57:07
my husband.
:57:09
- How is that?
- Great.
:57:11
- Next week, East Lynne.
- You just don't appreciate art.
:57:15
- Look, what's that?
- What?
:57:18
It's a holdup.
:57:21
- Chandler.
- What the...
:57:22
Why, Bill.
:57:23
I had to stop you before
you got to the lodge.
:57:25
- She's gone.
- What?
:57:26
You mean we aren't
gonna finish it tonight?
:57:29
She only came to put the place in order...
:57:31
- then she went right back to town.
- Why didn't you call?
:57:33
They don't have telephones
in trout streams.
:57:35
I'd better go.
Somebody might see you here.
:57:37
Aren't you going with us? Move over.
:57:39
I can't disappear
in the middle of the night.
:57:41
What a lady-killer you are. One look
at you and the gal disappears.
:57:44
Say, don't worry.
Rome wasn't built in a day.
:57:47
It didn't cost $5 million, either.
:57:49
We had a nice, long ride.
:57:54
What are you talking about?
We can't miss.
:57:55
- The setup is perfect.
- The setup is crazy. We haven't a chance.
:57:58
At the end of the 10th round, it's a draw.
:58:00
The girl was there in the mountains?
:58:02
- But only for one night.
- One night is enough.
:58:04
You told your wife you'd been
called to Washington, remember?
:58:07
Yes, like it was yesterday.
:58:08
Yeah, but you lied.
You didn't go to Washington.
:58:11
You went to Allenbury Lodge
for a rendezvous with Connie.
:58:13
Our private detective
will swear he followed you.
:58:15
- But her father was there.
- That was a blind.
:58:17
- She left the following morning.
- Sure. A guilty conscience.
:58:21
- You're insane.
- What a mind.
:58:23
Now I know where you get those
stories about working nights.
:58:26
Then you come home,
you're indifferent to your wife.
:58:29
You fight with her.
:58:30
It's as neat a case
for alienation of affection...
:58:32
as I've ever seen,
and we slap it on tomorrow!
:58:34
- No, we don't.
- Why don't we?
:58:36
Because you can't get away with it.
:58:38
They'd throw that case out of
any court in the world. You, too.
:58:41
Not if I wear blue.
I'm awfully appealing in blue.
:58:43
A: I was Allenbury's guest, not Connie's.
B: I was never alone with her. C...
:58:47
- I know the alphabet.
- But you haven't got a leg to stand on.
:58:51
Take it easy, will you?
:58:52
I'm getting a real in with the family...
:58:54
and I'm developing an open-and-shut case.
:58:56
We're gonna file suit tomorrow.
:58:57
Be at Britton & Britton's office at 9:00,
and I can catch that noon edition.
