:45:03
- Okay, anything else?
- No. Oh...
:45:09
- What color did you pick?
- Blue. Navy blue.
:45:11
And the cast on his left leg.
:45:15
- That suits me fine.
- This is it, Walter.
:45:18
I'm shaking like a leaf.
:45:19
But it's straight down the line
now for both of us.
:45:22
I love you, Walter. Goodbye.
:45:26
- Sorry, Keyes.
- What's the matter?
The dames chasing you again? Or still?
:45:30
- Or is it none of my business?
- If I told you it was a customer...
:45:32
Margie! I bet she drinks from the bottle.
:45:35
Why don't you settle down
and get married, Walter?
:45:37
Why don't you, for instance?
:45:39
- I almost did, once. A long time ago.
- Now look, Keyes, I've got a call on prospect.
:45:43
We even had the church picked out,
the dame and I.
:45:46
She had a white satin dress
with flounces on it.
:45:48
And I was on my way out
to the jewerly store to buy the ring.
:45:51
Then suddenly that little man in here
started working on me.
:45:54
So you went back
and had her investigated.
:45:55
Yeah. And the stuff that came out.
:45:58
She'd been dyeing her hair
ever since she was sixteen.
:46:01
And there was a manic-depressive
in her family on her mother's side.
:46:03
And she already had one husband
:46:05
He was a professional pool player in Baltimore.
As for her brother...
:46:08
I get the general idea.
:46:09
- She was a tramp from a long line of tramps.
- Yeah. All right. What am I to say to Norton?
:46:14
- How about that job I want you for?
- I don't think I want it, Keyes.
:46:18
- Thanks, just the same.
- Fair enough.
:46:21
Only get this:
:46:23
I picked you for the job,
not because I think you're so darn smart
:46:26
but because I thought
you were a shade less dumb...
:46:28
than the rest of the outfit.
:46:36
Guess I was wrong. You're not smarter,
Walter. You're just a little taller.
:46:52
Yes, Keyes. Those fates I was talking about
had only been stalling me off.
:46:58
Now they had thrown the switch.
The gears had meshed.
