1:10:01
Ask your boss if he wants me shot up
before we talk.
1:10:05
Never mind, Wilmer.
1:10:08
You certainly are
a most headstrong individual.
1:10:11
Well, let's be seated.
1:10:15
Are you ready to make the first payment
and take the falcon off my hands?
1:10:19
Well, sir, as to that....
1:10:22
As to that....
1:10:28
$10,000? We were talkin' about
a lot more money than this.
1:10:31
Yes, sir, we were.
But this is genuine coin of the realm.
1:10:34
With a dollar of this
you can buy $10 of talk.
1:10:36
There are more of us
to be taken care of now.
1:10:38
That may be, but I've got the falcon!
1:10:41
I shouldn't think it necessary
to remind you...
1:10:43
...that you may have the falcon,
but we certainly have you.
1:10:46
I'm trying not to let that worry me.
We'll get back to the money later on.
1:10:49
There's something else
to be discussed first.
1:10:54
We've got to have a fall guy.
1:10:56
The police need a victim, somebody
they can pin those three murders on.
1:10:59
Three? There's only two, because
Thursby certainly killed your partner.
1:11:03
Only two then. What's the difference?
We have to give the police--
1:11:06
Come, Mr. Spade, you can't
expect us to believe at this late date...
1:11:10
...that you're afraid of the police,
or that you're not quite able to handle--
1:11:13
I'm in this up to my neck.
1:11:15
I've got to find somebody, a victim
when the time comes. If I don't, I'll be it.
1:11:24
Let's give them the gunsel.
1:11:27
He actually did shoot
Thursby and Jacoby, didn't he?
1:11:29
Anyway, he's made to order for the part.
Look at him!
1:11:32
Let's give him to them.
1:11:36
By gad, sir, you are a character.
That you are!
1:11:38
There's never any telling
what you'll say or do next...
1:11:41
...but it's bound to be astonishing.
1:11:43
It's our best bet. With him in their hands--
1:11:45
But, my dear man, can't you see
that if I even for a moment...
1:11:48
...thought of doing such a thing....
That's ridiculous.
1:11:51
I feel towards Wilmer here just exactly
as if he were my own son.
1:11:54
Really, I do.
1:11:55
But if I even for a moment thought
of doing what you propose...
1:11:58
...what in the world would keep Wilmer
from telling the police...
