:47:04
Your birthday was about then, wasn't it?
:47:06
Yes, that's right. End of April.
:47:10
In the excitement,
she forgot about the letter...
:47:13
...and then later on was afraid to say
she'd made a mistake.
:47:17
That isn't like Leslie.
She's not afraid of anything.
:47:20
This was a pretty serious mistake...
:47:22
...and she realized it.
:47:24
Who has the letter?
:47:27
Hammond's widow.
:47:29
And she threatens to turn it over
to the prosecution.
:47:33
Well, what if she does?
:47:34
Leslie can explain it in court
just as she explained it to you.
:47:40
Well, yes...
:47:43
...but don't you see, Bob, it might alter
things a good deal in the minds of the jury...
:47:47
...if Hammond came to your house
by invitation.
:47:52
What's to be done about it?
:47:55
Well...
:47:56
...I think we must get hold
of that letter.
:48:01
I want you to authorize me to buy it.
:48:05
Well, I'll do whatever you think is right.
:48:09
I don't think it's right...
:48:11
...but I think it's expedient.
:48:14
Juries can sometimes be very stupid.
It's just as well not to worry them...
:48:18
...with more evidence than they can
conveniently deal with.
:48:22
Howard, I don't pretend to understand.
Do as you think best.
:48:26
-I'll pay back whatever it costs.
-Good.
:48:28
Now put the matter out of your mind.
:48:32
Too bad rubber won't grow
in a civilized climate, sir.
:48:36
Mix me another one, Jerry.
:48:38
Another, sir?
:48:40
Yes, another.
:48:42
Yes, sir.
:48:46
"Mr. and Mrs. Howard Joyce request
the pleasure of your company...
:48:49
-...at a party to be given at their home--"
-"Residence." It sounds more impressive.
:48:55
Residence.
:48:58
"On Friday, May 1 6th, in honor of their
guests Mr. and Mrs. Robert Crosbie."
