Mr. Spade, have you any conception...
:51:02
...of how much money can be got
for that black bird?

:51:05
No.
:51:07
Well, sir, if I told you,
if I told you half, you'd call me a liar.

:51:11
No, not even if I thought so.
:51:12
But you tell me what it is,
and I'll figure out the profit.

:51:19
You mean, you don't know
what that bird is?

:51:21
I know what it's supposed to look like...
:51:23
...and I know the value in human life
you people put on it.

:51:26
She didn't tell you what it is?
:51:29
-Cairo didn't either?
-He offered me $10,000 for it.

:51:32
$10,000!
:51:34
Dollars, mind you, not even pounds!
:51:37
Do they know what that bird is?
What is your impression?

:51:40
There's not much to go by.
Cairo didn't say he did or he didn't.

:51:43
She said she didn't but I took it for granted
she was lying.

:51:46
Not an injudicious thing to do.
:51:49
If they don't know, I'm the only one
in the whole wide sweet world who does.

:51:54
Swell! When you've told me,
that'll make two of us.

:51:56
Mathematically correct, but I don't know
for certain that I'm going to tell you.

:52:01
Don't be foolish. You know what it is.
I know where it is.

:52:04
Well, sir, where is it?
:52:06
You see, I must tell you what I know,
but you won't tell me what you know.

:52:10
It's hardly equitable, sir.
:52:12
No, no. I don't think we can do business
along those lines.

:52:16
Well, think again, and think fast!
:52:18
I told that gunsel of yours
you'd have to talk to me!

:52:20
You'll talk to me today, or you are through!
:52:23
Why are you wasting my time?
I can get along without you!

:52:26
And another thing:
:52:27
Keep that gunsel out of my way
while you decide.

:52:29
I'll kill him, if you don't!
:52:31
Well, sir, I must say you have
a most violent temper.

:52:35
Think it over. You've got till 5:00.
:52:38
Then you're either in or out, for keeps!
