:39:01
and maybe he was a little
better than he sounded.
:39:04
But right then it gave me a nasty feeling
to be thinking about them at all
:39:07
with that briefcase right behind
my head and her father's signature in it.
:39:11
And what that signature meant.
:39:13
He was a dead pigeon.
:39:16
It was only a question of time,
not much time at then.
:39:20
You know that big market
up on Los Feliz, Keyes?
:39:23
That's the place Phyllis
and I had picked for a meeting place.
:39:27
I already had most of the plan in my head,
but a lot of details had to be worked out.
:39:31
And she had to know them
all by heart, when the time came.
:39:35
We had to be very careful from now on.
:39:38
We couldn't let anybody
see us together.
:39:41
We couldn't even talk
to each other on the telephone.
:39:44
Not from her house
or at my office anyway.
:39:47
So she used to be in the market
every morning about 11 o'clock buying stuff.
:39:52
And I could sort of run into
her there any day I wanted to.
:39:55
Sort of accidentally on purpose.
:39:58
- Walter, I ....
- Not so loud.
:40:02
I wanted to talk to you
ever since yesterday.
:40:04
Let me talk first.
:40:06
It's all set. The accident policy
came through. I've got it in my pocket.
:40:09
I got his check too.
:40:11
I saw him down in the oil fields.
:40:12
He thought he was paying
for the auto insurance.
:40:14
The check's just made out
to the company. It could be for anything.
:40:17
But you have to send a check
for the auto insurance, see.
:40:20
It's all right that way,
because one of the cars is in your name.
:40:23
Quick, open your bag.
:40:30
- Can you get into his safe deposit box?
- Yes. We both have keys.
:40:33
Fine. But don't put the policy in there yet.
I'll tell you when.
:40:36
- And remember, you never touched it
or even saw it, understand?
:40:38
- I'm not a fool.
- Okay. When is he taking the train?
:40:42
- That's just it. He isn't going.
- What?
:40:43
That's what I've been trying to tell you.
The trip is off.
:40:45
What's happened?
:40:48
Mister, could you reach me
that package of baby food?
:40:51
That one up there!
:40:55
I don't know why they always have
to put what I want on the top shelf.
